About Phytoandrogens
& Androgenic Herbs: Phytoandrogens are a class of phyto-compounds that mimic
the effect of human androgens. Properties may include increasing strength,
endurance, and stress tolerance, sense of well being, mood, confidence, lean
body mass, libido, and sexual response. The ability of phytoandrogens to
mimic the anabolic, strengthening, and stimulating effects of testosterone
can support healthy brain, nerve, muscle, immune, cardiovascular, and other
systems prone to atrophy, senescence or weakness. Androgenic herbs are a
class of adaptogens that may optimize healthy hormone producing functions of
androgen producing tissues, the adrenal glands and ovaries in women. Herbs
that support normal dopamine function and those that support nitric oxide
synthase activity can also enhance function of androgen sensitive tissues.♦ |
|||||
|
Asparagus
racemosus: Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is the main Ayurvedic
rejuvenating tonic for the female, used for sexual debility, infertility and
menopausal symptoms. Its aphrodisiac properties may be due to the ability of
9, 10-dihydrophenanthrene to interact with androgen receptors. The
adaptogenic, anti-stress and immuno-stimulating
activity of Shatavari has been validated in animal
studies, as has the ability to provide antioxidant protection to neuronal
tissues. ♦ |
|||||
|
Eleuthrococcus senticosus: Siberian Ginseng (Eleuthrococcus senticosus) is an adaptogen used to increase
endurance and adaptation to stress. It has been shown to improve tissue
oxygenation and physical fitness of both men and women. Siberian ginseng has
been recognized as a tonic in times of fatigue, debility, declining work
capacity, declining concentration and during times of convalescence. Its
ability to improve strength and performance may be due to its anabolic
effects. The traditional use as an immune tonic has been validated in animal
studies demonstrating both increased humoral and
cellular immunity. The lignans and iridoid glycosides in Siberian
ginseng are mainly responsible for exhibiting the anti-fatigue, anti-stress, immuno-enhancing, cognitive enhancing, and anti-depressive
effects. ♦ |
|||||
|
Epimedium sagittatum: Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) has
traditionally been
used for sexual dysfunction, fatigue and libido enhancement. Epimedium has been shown to improve sexual function and quality
of life even in patients with chronic disease. This therapeutic effect of
overcoming sexual disorders may be due to its ability to prevent and remedy
the side effects induced by corticoids, including its ability to protect
adrenal gland and bone health during long term exposure to glucocorticoids. Other studies suggest it may prevent
menopause related osteoporosis, possible by similar mechanisms.♦ |
|||||
|
Lepidium meyenii: Maca (Lepidium
meyenii) has demonstrated an ability to improve
libido in human studies without affecting testosterone and estradiol levels, possibly by its ability
to improve L-arginine-nitric oxide activity. Animal
studies have also shown improved sexual performance without a change in
hormone levels. The Maca alkaloids & steroids, glucosinolates, isothicyanates
and macamides are probably responsible for its
aphrodisiac, adaptogen, anabolic and immunostimulant
properties, making it and ideal choice for postmenopausal women. ♦ |
|||||
|
Mucuna pruriens; Mucana (Mucuna
pruriens) is recognized as an aphrodisiac in Ayurvedic Medicine, used for both men and women with low
libido, and for women undergoing menopause. |
|||||
|
Mucuna pruriens,
also known as velvet bean, has an unusually high content of naturally occurring
L-dopa which can cross the blood brain barrier and convert to dopamine. Dopamine can stimulate hypothalamic and
pituitary function and regulates motor control, sex drive, immune function,
lean muscle gain, bone density, energy levels, and the ability to sleep
soundly. The ability of l-dopa to significantly
increase sex drive and sexual impulses in humans validates its traditional
use as an aphrodisiac. ♦ |
|||||
|
Tribulus terrestris: Tribulus (Tribulus
terrestris) is considered a reproductive tonic
indicated in Ayurvedic medicine. Protodioscin is a phytochemical
agent found in Tribulus that has been clinically proven to
improve sexual desire, possibly due to increased androgen levels. The ability
to increase the release of nitric oxide from the endothelium and nitrergic nerve endings may also account for its claims
as an aphrodisiac. Tribulus also has diuretic,
antispasmodic and antihypertensive properties.♦ |
|||||
|
Turnera diffusa: Damiana (Turnera
diffusa) is widely used in the traditional medicine as an
aphrodisiac with antidepressant qualities. Animal studies confirm that Damiana acts as a sexual stimulant. Its effectiveness may
be associated with its vasodilatory abilities. Damiana
also has documented diuretic properties and it has been used in weight loss
formulations, possibly due to its nervine affect.♦ |
|||||
|
Withania sominfera: Ashwagandha (Withania
somnifera), commonly used herb in Ayurvedic medicine,
is best regarded as adaptogen with aphrodisiac properties. A unique feature
of Ashwagandha is
its ability to stabilize the mood in conditions of both anxiety and
depression. Its anxiolytic properties may be due to
constituents with GABA-mimicking activity. Animal studies confirm that it
provides adaptogenic ability to tolerate stress, as well as protect nerve
tissue and improve memory. Through activation of the
hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, Ashwagandha extracts can increase gonadotrophic hormones. This trophic
affect on the ovaries may contribute to its adaptogenic properties. The
ability of Ashwagandha to increase nitric oxide synthase may contribute
to the aphrodisiac affect. In addition to being antistress,
neuroprotective and aphrodisiac, Ashwagandha also has
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-hyperglycemic and cardioprotective
properties. ♦ |
