L-Arginine

An amino acid often used to enhance nitric oxide cellular messenger molecule production. Nitric oxide has beneficial effects on circulation promoting good cardiovascular health, immune, memory, and sexual support. L-Arginine supports healthy growth hormone levels. L-Arginine is contraindicated in persons with Herpes virus, but may be tolerated in small, less than 1 gram, doses.

Peruvian Maca Root (Lepidium meyenii)

Enhances libido and sexual thoughts, improves erectile function, supports healthy orgasms and climaxes, and improves energy and stamina. Maca contains sterols, uridine, malic acid, macamides, and glucosinolates. This plant has had a long history of use in the central Andes Mountains of South America for its supposed aphrodisiac and fertility-enhancing properties. In males Maca has been shown to improve sperm production and sperm motility. Maca did not change luetinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, testosterone or estradiol levels.

Tribulus terrestris

Has been shown to enhance libido, improve fertility and support healthy male penile function. Tribulus increases testosterone by enhancing pituitary production of luetinizing hormone (LH) in the body. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for a healthy libido in men and women. Tribulus has been shown to improve sexual performance and a large portion of the women reported a dramatic reduction in premenstrual symptoms. Tribulus enhances libido, sexual thoughts, erectile function, orgasms and climaxes, energy and stamina.

Cnidium Monnier

Increases nitric oxide release and inhibits PDE-5, allowing erections to be sustained for longer periods. Also known in China as She Chuang Zi, Cnidium is considered a natural sex booster. Studies have shown that Cnidium compounds osthol and Osthole have vasorelaxing properties on the corpus cavernosum, thus aiding erection.

Epimedium: or Horny Goat Weed

Has a long-standing reputation as an aphrodisiac for both men and women. Its use as a medicinal herb dates back to at least 400 A.D., where it was used as a tonic for the reproductive system (boosting libido and treating impotence) and as a rejuvenating tonic (to relieve fatigue). Its primary effect seems to be through its anti-stress modulation of cortisol. High levels of cortisol are known to depress sex drive and lead to fatigue. Epimedium acts as an adaptogen. Known as Yin yang Huo in China its properties were first described in ancient Chinese medical texts. Epimedium supports sexual function.

Xanthoparmelia

Induces smooth muscle relaxation. This allows for maximum arterial dilatation and increases penile and clitoral blood flow. Xanthoparmelia contains Pyrazolo pyrimidinone, a key component in leading prescription medications for impotence.

Siberian Ginseng

An excellent adaptogen that protects against the effects of physical and mental stress.

Ginkgo Biloba extract (GBE)

Widely used as a dietary supplement for enhanced circulation (vasodilation) effects and for its antioxidant qualities. Ginkgo may be beneficial for sexual performance via its enhanced circulation properties. Quality of GBE varies widely. In 1999 consumer labs showed that nearly 25% of GBE brands tested did not meet their label claims of expected chemical marker compounds despite claims to being standardized.

5-Hydroxy L-Tryptophan (5HTP)

Supports healthy serotonin and dopamine levels. These neurotransmitters help protect against the effects of physical and mental stress.

Niacin acts as a vasodilator and complements the botanicals in Arousal Factors for enhanced circulation to support healthy sexual function and excitation.
