Pomegranate

Pomegranate is a native fruit of Persia or Middle East. Its name in Latin means “apple with many seeds” and is also called the fruit of passion. As women enter their premenopausal and menopausal years, it’s not uncommon for them to experience hormonally mediated changes in sex drive. With estrogen and progesterone levels falling, sexual desire can dwindle. Estrogen confers a wide range of health benefits, such as helping to maintain firm skin and muscle tone, supporting healthy sexual function, producing greater feelings of well-being, and supporting cardiovascular and bone health.

Natural estrogen with pomegranate extract contains standardized plant extracts that may help produce hormone-like modulating effects that are beneficial for most women over 40. This formula contains health-promoting phytoestrogens and polyphenols that confer powerful hormone-modulating and DNA-protecting effects.

The main reason pomegranate is so effective is that it helps the body to produce nitric oxide which helps to open up blood vessels and increase to blood flow which is great news for the libido.

Soy Isoflavones

Menopause can be a challenging time of a woman’s life because of hot flashes or flushes, mood swings, insomnia, decreased sex drive, and vaginal dryness. Soy isoflavones (plant version of the female hormone estrogen) have been suggested to help. Research findings for isoflavone’s effectiveness have been mixed. Its effectiveness may be linked to an individual woman’s ability to convert isoflavones to equol (which can be tested for in urine). Isoflavones may be able to prevent vaginal dryness and help with hot flashes.

Vitamin E

The majority of vitamin E’s benefits stem from its antioxidant qualities. That means it combines with oxygen and destroys free radicals. Some of the benefits of Vitamin E are improved heart health, respiratory health, circulatory health, brain health and PMS symptom relief. It is found naturally in such foods as almonds and other nuts, sunflower seeds, spinach and apricots.  Vitamin E can increase cervical mucus in women, which is essential for helping sperm to stay alive for several days at a time. Vitamin E can also help to prevent egg defects and increase overall egg health in women which can lessen the chances of birth defects and miscarriage. Many women report that vitamin E helps reduce hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause.

Although this herb is primarily used to improve erection in men, it was found to be effective as a libido-enhancing element for women. It prevents women from feeling agitated, and helps in combating forgetfulness and dementia.

The Tupi Indians, an indigenous tribe of Brazil, came to know first the various incredible sex enhancing properties of catuaba. They learned the other health benefits it provided such as relief from pain and fatigue, as well as in the reduction of nervousness and depression. It can also help increase memory.

Damiana

Damiana is a wild shrub, native to Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean. The leaves have been traditionally known for its aphrodisiac effects. For women, damiana is known to stimulate muscular contractions of the intestinal tract and delivers oxygen to the genital area, increasing the sensitivity of the clitoris.

Known to balance female hormone levels, reduce vaginal dryness, increase the frequency and intensity of orgasms, and control hot flashes. It’s also said to relieve anxiety, depression, headaches, and exhaustion during menstruation.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in many foods Like milk, poultry, liver, meat, fish, vegetables nuts – practically in almost all foods. Vitamin B6 in coenzyme forms performs a wide variety of functions in the body and is extremely versatile. Some evidence suggests that vitamin B6 supplements could reduce the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

A meta-analysis of nine published trials involving almost 1,000 women with PMS found that vitamin B6 is more effective in reducing PMS symptoms than placebo. 2 A more recent double-blind, randomized controlled trial in 94 women found that 80 mg pyridoxine taken daily over the course of three cycles was associated with statistically significant reductions in a broad range of PMS symptoms, including moodiness, irritability, forgetfulness, bloating, and, especially, anxiety.

The potential effectiveness of vitamin B6 in alleviating the mood-related symptoms of PMS could be due to its role as a cofactor in neurotransmitter biosynthesis.

Vitamin B1

Also called thiamine or thiamin, Vitamin B1 is one of 8 B vitamins and helps the body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy. It also helps the body metabolize fats and protein and is needed for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. It also helps the nervous system function properly, and is needed for good brain function. All B vitamins are water-soluble, meaning that the body does not store them. Like other B complex vitamins, thiamine is sometimes called an “anti-stress” vitamin because it may strengthen the immune system and improve the body’s ability to withstand stressful conditions.

Folic Acid B9

Folic acid is a B vitamin. It helps the body make healthy new cells. Everyone needs folic acid. This vitamin has demonstrated a protective effect against cardiovascular diseases, some forms of cancer, and various neurological impairments including depression. Indeed, the benefits of folic acid are many, and not to be overlooked.

While most folic acid studies have focused on heart health, some recent findings suggest that folic acid either has antidepressant properties or can act as an augmenting mediator for standard antidepressant treatment. Depressive symptoms are the most common neuropsychiatric manifestation of folate deficiency. Clinicians now believe that patients with low plasma folate levels do not respond to antidepressant treatment as well as those with adequate folate levels. Consequently, folic acid is believed to play an important role in regulating mood.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin that is commonly found in a variety of foods, such as fish, shellfish, meat, eggs, and dairy products. The body needs this B vitamin to make blood cells and to maintain a healthy nervous system. It also helps prevent a type of anemia called megaloblastic anemia that makes people tired and weak. Vitamin B12 deficiency causes tiredness, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia. Nerve problems, such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, can also occur. Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include problems with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue. Vitamin B12 deficiency can damage the nervous system even in people who don’t have anemia, so it is important to treat a deficiency as soon as possible.
