There are ten herbs in this combination creating a product designed to enable sexual function in the male.
Damiana Leaf - is a nervine herb that benefits our nervous system and that some consider to be an aphrodisiac. But rather than being an aphrodisiac, it is an antidepressant that may well assist those who are depressed in regaining a sense of sexual desire.
Eleuthero Root - is an adaptogen that assists in promoting androgen levels and raising energy and libido levels.
Muira Puama - is a male tonic that is considered an aphrodisiac and purported to improve libido and erection.
Yohimbe Bark - is a stimulating herb that can increase blood circulation to the genitals and improve erection. Libido and stamina may be raised as well as sensation. It is important to note, however, that Yohimbe can increase heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. And this is why Cheryl created an alternative Male Formula product without Yohimbe.
American Ginseng Root - is an adaptogen. Its applicability here is as a sexual tonic.
Sarsaparilla Root - is an adaptogen and helps to tonify the sexual system by providing it nutrients and strength. It balances reproductive hormones, including testosterone. It can assist with low libido, difficulty getting an erection, and premature ejaculation.
Ginger Root - is warming and a circulatory stimulant.
Kola Nut - contains caffeine and is stimulating to the nervous system, helping you to wake up and providing energy, and stimulating to the circulatory system as well.
Oat Grass Seed - is a tonic herb that supports us sexually by nourishing the nerves to enable more sensitivity to touch, stimulating glands to secrete, encouraging better blood flow through the vessels, and improving our ability to be intimate.
Saw Palmetto Berry - is a tonic to the prostate gland supporting normal function of the reproductive system and of the libido.
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 support male sexual desire, stamina, and performance.
