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. ♦ |
