• Ashwagandha works as an adaptogen by helping to inhibits occasional fatigue, boost energy, and counteract the negative effects of stress.

• Independent of its adaptogen activities, ashwagandha has also been shown to promote normal nitric oxide synthase, which promotes the normal dilation of the blood vessels in the sensitive areas, helping to produce a normal orgasm.

Sensoril®

• The active constituent L-dopa is often given the credit for velvet bean’s sex supporting properties

• L-dopa is converted to dopamine within the brain

• In regards to sex, dopamine release and neuron stimulation are believed to be triggered by the anticipation of a reward (sexual activity) which in turn intensifies sexual desire and response

Velvet Bean Extract

• Damiana has been hailed as sexual stimulator since ancient times, particularly by the native peoples of Mexico

• Damiana has been shown to bind to progesterone receptors, which may promote healthy estrogen levels in women

• The result is the support of normal sexual drive and pleasure

Damiana

• Contains several phytoestrogens that exert strong estrogenic activity on vaginal tissue.

• Pueraria mirifica has been shown to promote normal estrogenicity on vaginal tissue and promote normal vaginal lubrication and comfort during sex

• Pueraria mirifica extract may help promote normal lubrication and promote strength of the vaginal muscles to support a strong contraction

Pueraria mirifica

• L-Histidine is converted to histamine within the body• Histamine, a neurotransmitter, promotes normal

vasodilation and smooth muscle contraction in the body, especially the genitalia muscles

• Its promotes normal nitric oxide synthesis which is important for normal blood flow to parts of the body and normal sex hormone activity

• Sexual climax (orgasm) is triggered when histamine is released from mast cells in the genitals and can produce sensations of intense warmth throughout the body
