supports healthy sexual and reproductive function
FUNCTIONS The body requires protein to build muscle and other tissues, and to produce essential compounds such as hormones and enzymes. Therefore, they are vital for proper functioning of all physiological systems, including the nervous, musculo-skeletal, endocrine and immune systems. Some have suggested that increased protein synthesis follows prolonged exercise. Athletes competing in body building or endurance sport may require significantly more protein that the normal requirement. Vitamin E is one of the body’s most important antioxidant nutrients, protecting healthy cells from oxidative and free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable chemicals formed in the body during metabolism and from exposure to environmental pollutants. When an excessive number of free radicals are formed, they can degrade the structure and function of healthy cellular components, especially membrane lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Yohimbe bark (Pausinystalia yohimbe) has been used traditionally in western Africa as a male aphrodisiac. Its 6% alkaloid content, primarily yohimbine, is responsible for its reputation as a sexual stimulant and mild hallucinogen. Yohimbe and its constituent yohimbine dilate blood vessels throughout the body including the genitalia, presumably encouraging an erection with the increased blood flow to the penis. As a vasodilator, Ginkgo biloba, may provide the same result, as well as improving libido.
The leaves of the Damiana shrub (Turnera
diffusa) were traditionally used as
an aphrodisiac by the Mayan Indians
of Central America. Although used as
a restorative herb for women’s
reproductive functions, damiana has
been principally seen as an herb for
treatment of male impotence. Native
to the Brazilian rainforests, the
tree Muira puama (potency wood) has
been used by Amazonian Indians as a
nerve tonic and aphrodisiac.
