Natural Supplements: Is it true that increase your sexual desire?

Do they really work? How much it is truth and how much of deception supposedly natural supplements that help boost sexual desire in both men and women? Does fantasy and a bath together can be more effective than ingesting ginseng, arginine, DHEA, or pycnogenol, for example?

Does your partner demands attention but you do not feel the same intensity of sexual desire you felt before? What can you do to recover your libido and re nights of passionate sex and pleasure?

If you're asking these questions you're probably also considering taking some medication to help you, or you may prefer the so-called natural supplements, which are supposed to be effective and produce fewer side effects, although this is not necessarily so.

One of the most popular supplements used for this purpose is ginseng , which there are three different types: the Siberian ( Eleutherococcus senticosus ), which is generally used as an aphrodisiac and some do not consider it a true ginseng; Korean or Asian ( Panax ginseng ), it used in traditional Chinese medicine and has been the subject of several studies, and American ( Panax quinquefolius ), whose effectiveness to modify sexual impotence has not been tested.

In general, the final product varies according to the type of ginseng that question and the processing mode you have received. These herbal supplements contain active ginsenosides denominated and many other compounds. It is believed to provide energy and can improve the mood of people. Hence it is said to have effects on sexual desire in both men and women.

Referring to such effects, a study conducted in 2002 among 45 men suffering from erectile dysfunction found that ginseng improved symptoms of sexual dysfunction and penile rigidity. Along with this, several other studies suggest the benefits of ginseng on health but not fully convincing results, since for example, do not specify or what type of ginseng is ginsenoside or what is causing the effects obtained.

Another dietary supplement that some choose is the L-arginine , an amino acid the body needs to perform various functions, such as improving immunity and produce nitric oxide (say generates a similar effect of Viagra. By the way, amino acid etc. it is found naturally in red meats, poultry meats, and dairy.

It has been found that the L-arginine improves blood flow to the penis and effectiveness of this amino acid as "possibly effective" for treating erection problems is classified. Anyway, we must be careful because it can interact with other drugs, especially those to combat hypertension .

Similarly, they should be careful with L-arginine who take Cialis, Levitra or Viagra (or nitroglycerin, a drug for treating angina pectoris ), as it may reduce blood pressure suddenly. For these reasons, it is not advisable to take L-arginine without consulting your doctor.

Another case of which we must be careful is with the so - called DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a natural hormone that becomes male or female sex hormones within the body.

It is sold as an anti-aging supplement but its possible long-term effects have not been studied nor has proven really effective. A sexual level, specifically, it is classified as "possibly effective" to "improve the ability to have an erection in men suffering from erectile dysfunction. But may not be effective if erectile dysfunction is due to diabetes or nerve disorders. "

In addition to these examples, there are other supplements such as pycnogenol (an extract from the bark of a French maritime tree that is believed to help protect the veins and promotes the production of nitric oxide, similar to L-arginine and ginseng) Granada and juice (for its antioxidant). In all cases, it is preferable to consult a doctor and choose safe products. Remember that sometimes sexual dysfunction can be the first symptom of a physical problem (such as diabetes or a heart problem).

Finally, in addition to thinking about supplements and medicines, have you considered other stimuli? Maybe it's a good idea to revive the seduction and try new joint activities which can have fun with your partner. After all, some experts believe that the brain is the biggest sex organ we possess.
