Ingredient Summary
Epimedium extract (Epimedium sagittatum) Horny goat weed is a pungent ornamental herb found in Asia and the Mediterranean. The Chinese call it Yin Yang Huo, which loosely means "licentious goat plant." Legend has it that the name horny goat weed came from a herder who noticed his goats becoming more sexually active after eating the plant.
Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris) Tribulus has been shown to enhance sexual behaviour by stimulating androgen receptors in the brain.
Saw Palmetto berry extract (Serenoa repens) Saw Palmetto berry is rich in fatty acids and important phytosterols.
L-Alanine Alanine is a non essential amino acid, important for the metabolism of tryptophan and pyridoxine. Alanine helps regulate blood sugar and is necessary for the promotion of proper blood glucose levels from dietary protein. Alanine is involved in gluconeogenesis - the manufacture of glucose from alanine by the liver.
Sarsparilla root extract (Smilax officinalis) An adaptagenic tropical plant containing rich flavonoids.
Yohimbe bark extract (Pausinystalia yohimbe) Yohimbe is an herb derived from the bark of the yohimbe tree primarily found in the West African.
Quercetin is one of the most bioactive bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are essential for proper absorption of Vitamin C and have antioxidant properties, increase capillary strength and keep collagen healthy. The plant pigment quercetin is a dominant flavonoid found in found mainly in citrus fruit. In the body quercetin has anti-inflammatory activity with direct inhibition of several initial processes of inflammation.
Pumpkin seed extract Pumpkin seeds are a very good source of essential fatty acids, amino acids, minerals and vitamins.
Nettle leaf extract (Urtica Dioca) A plants of the genus Urtica where stinging nettle is a species containing important phytonutrients including a histamine, acetylcholine and serotonin.
Magnesium (Glycinate Chelate) Magnesium “Magnesium glycinate” is a, better tolerated and more absorbable, chelated form of the mineral magnesium (Mg). The element magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 350 biochemical actions in the body. Magnesium relaxes smooth muscle, helps dilate blood vessels and maintains blood flow.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Niacin is used in the body to synthesize some sex hormones and it's effect associated with sexual orgasms by releasing histamine. Vitamin B3 helps the body make stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body. Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin, whose derivatives play essential roles in energy metabolism in the cell and DNA repair.
L-Glycine Glycine is a non essential amino acid utilized by the liver in the synthesis of other nonessential amino acids and part of the tripeptide glutathione.
l-Glutamic Acid (Glutamate), a non essential amino acid, a precursor to Glutamine and GABA, is a key molecule in cellular metabolism serving as a metabolic fuel for other functional roles in the body.
Zinc (Monomethionine) Zinc is an anabolic mineral required for the production of thyroid hormone, growth hormone and testosterone. Zinc is ten times more concentrated in the the prostate than any other organ. Zinc blocks the body's production of dihydrotestosterone and helps regulate testosterone in the prostate. The second most ocurring essential nutrient is zinc. Zinc is involved in about 3000 different protein complexes in the body.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal 5 phosphate) Vitamin B-6 is comprised of three natural organic compounds; pyridoxal (Pyridoxal 5 phosphate), pyridoxamine and pyridoxine. Pyridoxal 5 phosphate is the bioactive metabolite of the coenzyme Vitamin B-6 involved in many important enzymatic reactions.
Copper (Glycinate Chelate) Copper is required for the production and function of hemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting oxygen through the body. Copper is a building block for collagen and elastin, the proteins that provide structural integrity and elasticity for tissues, organs and bones. Copper is helpful in maintaining skin integrity and useful in wound healing. Copper is an essential nutrient found primarily in the bloodstream, as a co-factor in various enzymes, and in copper-based body pigments. Zinc and copper compete for absorption in the digestive tract so a dietary 10:1 balance must be maintained to prevent a deficiency.
Selenium (L-Selenomethioine) Selenium is required for sperm motility and is lost in semen. Selenium is an essential trace element which functions as cofactor for reduction of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidases and thioredoxin reductase, and plays a role in cellular apoptosis. Selenium, bound to the amino acid methionine as L-selenomethionine, can be incorporated into tissue proteins without further metabolic change.
