At Cheryl's Herbs, our liquid extract combination products each contain multiple herbs and are sold in one-ounce, two-ounce, and four-ounce dropper bottles. These products are for internal use.
Cheryl’s Herbs’ product called For Him Liquid Extract Combination shares many of the same ingredients found in our Male Formula Liquid Extract Combination. Where the basic intention behind the Male Formula is to help support libido and erection, the basic intention behind For Him is to assist in balancing reproductive hormones. However, it appears each product can do both. If a gentleman’s concern happens to be his sex drive and his sexual prowess, I’d suggest the Male Formula. If it should be, for example, the health of his prostate, I’d suggest For Him.
For Him consists of 9 herbs:
The first four herbs are Eleuthero Root, American Ginseng Root, Sarsaparilla Root, and Saw Palmetto Berry. Each of these herbs is in the Male Formula as well, so beside their combined ability to help with toning the reproductive system, providing strength and energy, encouraging libido and erection, and helping prevent premature ejaculation, they are overall helping to facilitate better hormonal function and balance in the reproductive system.
Damiana Leaf also appears in both products and is useful when depression is reducing sexual desire. Some claim it’s an aphrodisiac. It also may help inhibit the activity of the enzyme aromatase which is responsible for converting androgens to estrogens (i.e. reducing testosterone), thereby helping keep male reproductive hormones in better balance.
Kola Nut is also shared by both products. It is a nervous system stimulant owing to the caffeine in it. When there is weakness and debility with depression, Kola Nut may help.
Unique to the For Him Liquid Extract Combination are the following herbs:
Gotu Kola Herb - may be useful for impotence and premature ejaculation.
Echinacea Angustifolia Root - interestingly may assist with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) by reducing the mass and degenerative structural changes of the prostate gland.
Pipsissewa Herb - may help reduce enlarged prostate.
Overall, this product, as with any other of our liquid extract combinations, is a synergy, offering more to us than any one of the individual herbs in it can offer, thereby helping to bring balance, stability, good health, and good function to the male reproductive system which, in turn, enables better desire and better performance to elevate the sexual experience.
