In a recent survey of sexually active women, 22% reported lack of sexual desire. In a separate survey, women reported that the most important factor they believe would improve their sexual satisfaction was less stress.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) has been used in the high Andes in Peru for five thousand years. A member of the Brassicaceae family, it traditionally grows in mountain areas above 10,000 feet. Even Spanish explorers and settlers to the new world recognized that maca may have had properties that enhance fertility in animals and humans.
Alkaloids isolated from the maca root act upon the hypothalamus-pituitary axis, supporting and boosting energy levels and encouraging the production of sex hormones.
The hypothalamus is a small gland located in a region within the brain that controls many bodily functions, including eating and drinking, blood pressure and heart rate, and emotional states. In combination with the pituitary gland, hormones secreted by these glands also play a significant role in sexual function.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a smaller shrub typically found in India, and is a commonly used herb in traditional Ayurvedic treatments. Studies show ashwagandha supports red blood cell formation (which is very important for overall energy levels) and stress resistance. In one study, physical endurance was doubled in participants given extracts of withania somnifera. The withanolides, compounds found in ashwagandha, appear to support the body's natural anti-stress abilities.
Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) also known as “golden root” or “arctic root” is found throughout high altitudes in the arctic and in mountain areas of Europe and Asia. Use of rhodiola dates back to ancient times in Greece (77 AD). The “rosea” in the plant's name refers to the scent of its freshly cut rootstock.
Rhodiola has been traditionally used in Scandinavia and Russia for centuries, to increase physical endurance, work productivity, longevity resistance to high altitude sickness, and a variety of other uses. To this day, a bouquet of rhodiola roots is still given to couples prior to marriage as a folk custom to ensure fertility and the birth of healthy children.
Rhodiola seems to act an adaptogen, helping the endocrine system adapt to environmental stresses. High stress is not associated with optimal sexual health, and in a clinical trial, rhodiola improved energy levels in 64% of participants. Another clinical study showed rhodiola supported healthy reproductive cycles in over 60 percent of participants.
Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) formerly known as Siberian ginseng, is actually not related to ginseng at all, but shows some similar properties. Extract of eleuthero bark has long been used in Asia for boosting energy levels and supporting endurance. Eleuthero appears to help the body adapt to stress by supporting healthy adrenal gland function.
Catuaba (Erythroxylum catuaba) is a common tree found in South America from Brazil to Peru, in the same genus as the coco plant. Its bark has been consumed for centuries by natives and immigrants alike to support sexual function in men and women.
