Supplements for Men’s Sexual Health and Libido

1) Maca for enhancing libido 
Maca roots are often used for enhancing libido, but it is also used to help with energy, stamina, athletic performance, memory, and for an antioxidant-fueled immune system boost.

2) Ashwagandha for Sexual Health and Adaptogen for Stress
Ashwagandha is an “adaptogenic herb” that helps our bodies with daily stressors and it is used as a health tonic for many benefits including sexual health. Since our stress levels play a big role in libido and can disrupt hormone levels, Ashwagandha’s ability to help calm the mind and reduce stress and anxiousness can be a great help for our sexual performance.

3) Yohimbe for Sexual Blood Flow 
Herbalists use Yohimbe, an evergreen tree native to Africa, for stimulating sexual excitement because a chemical in the plant may increase blood flow and nerve impulses, encouraging arousal.

4) Fenugreek for Testosterone Support 
Fenugreek supplements are made from the seeds of the fenugreek herb, which is similar to clover and native to the Mediterranean region. 

For men, fenugreek may help with a variety of sexual concerns including testosterone support and reproductive health.

5) Boron for Sexual Health & Beyond
Boron is a trace mineral that plays important roles in metabolism and researchers say that one of its most notable effects on human health include its role in the production and metabolism of sex hormones, including testosterone. It beneficially impacts how our body uses testosterone and vitamin D, and it also plays a role in the absorption and use of calcium and magnesium. Studies have shown an increase in sex hormones in both men and women following boron supplementation. 

Foods high in boron include:

  • Almond
  • Beans
  • Chickpeas
  • Brazil nuts
  • Bananas
