In Western herbal medicine, it is used by both men and women to assist fertility, especially if low libido is an issue or if there are low levels of sex hormones – oestrogen in women and testosterone in men. In women, it is often prescribed from days 5-14 of the menstrual cycle. When used in this way, it should always be under the guidance of your medical herbalist.
Animal studies show that taking Tribulus long-term is more effective than short-term use. Administration of Tribulus extracts to animals improved libido and increased sexual behaviour and spermatogenesis (the creation of sperm cells in the testes).
NaturoBest’s Ultimate Libido & Hormone Support also contains damiana as the patented Liboost®. Damiana has been traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support libido as well as the nervous system and healthy mood balance.
