How can supplements improve your sex life?

Many factors can have a negative impact on your sex drive from age to depression, hormonal imbalance and even contraception. But what if there was a way to counter these issues and regain your sex drive?

We all know that diet, training and correct supplementation can positively impact your sex life. We’ve spoken at length in our previous blogs about the benefits of Shilajit “the destroyer of weakness”. However, we have yet to share with you how regular consumption can impact your sex life.

Using adaptogens and bio-enhancers such as Ashwagandha and Shilajit, as well as supplementing your diet and training with good levels of vitamins and minerals, can help keep you performing at your best in the bedroom.

In Ayurvedic medicine, Shilajit has been used for centuries to treat decreased libido. This has been proven to be beneficial for both men and women. In a clinical trial - Clinical evaluation of purified Shilajit on testosterone levels in healthy volunteers (S. Pandit, S. Biswas, U. Jana, R. K. De, S. C. Mukhopadhyay, T. K. Biswas) published 22nd September 2015), treatment with Shilajit for consecutive 90 days revealed that it significantly increased total testosterone, free testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS) compared with placebo. Gonadotropic hormones (LH and FSH) levels were well maintained.

That’s just looking at Shilajit in isolation. Our Shilajit and Ashwagandha is a potent combination given that Ashwagandha is a renowned aphrodisiac, therefore, exerting positive effects on the libido. Our carefully curated products can not only impact your general well-being they can aid your love life too. For example, CBD oil helps to balance hormones and the body’s various systems through its interaction with the endocannabinoid system.

The study Circulating Endocannabinoid Concentrations and Sexual Arousal in Women (Carolin Klein, PhD, Matthew N. Hill, PhD, [...], and Boris B. Gorzalka, PhD), found a significant relationship between the endocannabinoid system and female sexual functioning. Our multivitamin supplements in particular Zenergy and Vitality, can aid in the treatment of vitamin deficiencies which are a very common cause of fatigue and low libido. Compared with healthy men, subjects with vitamin D deficiency scored lower for erectile function, orgasmic function, and sexual desire.  From the study: The effect of low Vitamin D status on sexual functioning and depressive symptoms in apparently healthy men: a pilot study - Robert Krysiak et al. Int J Impot Res. 2018 Oct.

A new study in the journal International Urology and Nephrology showed women with female sexual dysfunction (FSD) had lower levels of Vitamin D in their blood and higher symptoms of depression. Vitamin B6 regulates the sex hormones, increases libido, regulates the production of oestrogen, testosterone, and enhances blood circulation. Lack of Vitamin A can negatively impact libido - it slows down testosterone production.
