Intimacy is an important component of overall health and should be treated as such. Sexual health supplements promote healthy hormone balance, blood flow and a strong libido for men and women of all ages.
There are many supplements that are commonly taken to help boost libido, improve performance and promote overall sexual health and satisfaction in both men and women. The most popular sexual health supplements are herbs, botanicals and amino acids. Many people report better results when taking complementary supplements together such as maca and horny goat weed in our Horny Goat Weed Complex, or in a combination formula such as our Ultimate Women’s Intimate Performance.
L-arginine and L-citrulline are amino acids, key building blocks of protein, that are converted to nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide is essential to healthy blood flow which directly impacts sexual performance. L-citrulline and L-arginine benefits for men’s sexual health are attributed to their ability to boost nitric oxide in the body, thereby improving blood flow throughout the body. Another amino acid to consider is L-lysine. L-lysine benefits sexual health by supporting a healthy response to stress and healthy blood pressure already within the normal range.
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) extract is the ingredient behind the recent boom in testosterone-boosting supplements. Practitioners recognize fenugreek’s benefits for hormonal support, especially its effects on testosterone, which appear to enhance libido in both men and women. Try it in Swanson Fenugreek Extract featuring Testofen®.
Throughout much of Asia ginseng has been used for centuries as a tonic, promoting total-body wellness. Today, we know it more for its amazing stress-fighting, immune-boosting, sexual health and mental performance-enhancing benefits. It is thought that ginseng benefits sexual health in women and men by enhancing libido and improving performance and stamina. A popular supplement on its own, ginseng is also found in combination formulas for sexual health.
Horny goat weed may have an unusual name, but this herb has traditionally been valued for its powerful sexual support for men and women. Horny goat weed works by helping to increase blood flow and boost arousal and sexual function, and it’s even more potent in combination with tribulus and maca, like in our Horny Goat Weed Complex.
Maca is a plant native to the Andes Mountains in Central Peru whose roots contain essential fatty acids and amino acids, among other nutrients. Both men and women use maca to enhance sexual desire and encourage reproductive health, as well as to promote physical stamina. Try it alone or in a targeted combination formula such as our Pure Vitality for Women.
Tribulus is a plant native to many warm climates. It produces spine-covered fruit, which is used along with the root and leaves. Tribulus is used by both women and men to support sexual function and reproductive health. This herb is a time-honored libido enhancer and provides testosterone support
Herbalists use the bark of this African plant for both male and female sexual excitement and health. A chemical in yohimbe may increase blood flow and nerve impulses, encouraging arousal. You can take it alone in yohimbe bark supplements, or in many combination supplements for men’s sexual health.
Your brain is the biggest influencer of your sexual health. If you need help calming your mind before you can set the mood, consider a stress-busting adaptogen such as ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is a powerful adaptogenic herb used in the Ayurvedic tradition to promote feelings of calmness and relaxation and support a healthy response to daily stress. It is a key ingredient in both our sexual health combos for women and men: Pure Vitality for Women and Men’s Ultimate Performance Formula.
Sexual health supplements work by targeting a reduction in stress, improvement in blood flow and support for healthy hormone levels and function. Reducing stress allows the mind to focus on intimacy; improved blood flow boosts sexual performance and stamina; and hormonal health is key to sexual vitality.
