Best Products for Increasing Libido

Here is a partial list of the things I have tried in the last 4 years or so to try and get my libido back where it was 4 years ago.

Yohimbe……..did nothing
Horny Goat Weed…….did nothing
Ginseng……..did nothing
Tongkat Ali…….did nothing
Maca…….did nothing
L-Arginine……did nothing
Fish oil……did nothing
Steel Libido…..did nothing
Nitric Oxide Boosters……did nothing
Tribulus…..did nothing
Nature’s Youth……did nothing
Zinc/Copper…..made my sperm a little whiter
Lecithin…..did increase my load a little more

And about 10 other things that I can’t remember the names of since I threw it all out about 5 months ago.

It is my experience:

Yohimbe……..works very well but lots of side effects
Horny Goat Weed…….did nothing
Ginseng……..did nothing
Tongkat Ali…….works well but very expensive
Maca…….increases intensity of orgasm
L-Arginine……increases ease of erection and ejaculation volume
Fish oil……don’t know, never tried
Nitric Oxide Boosters……increases ease of erection
Tribulus….. only the Bulgarian Tribestan works
Zinc/Copper…..made my sperm a little whiter
Lecithin…..increases the viscosity of the ejaculate
Damiana…… did nothing
Sarsaparilla…… did nothing
Bio-Vigora (aphromomum)……. increases libido but causes stomach problems
Catuaba…….. increases ease of erection
Pygeum…….. did nothing

Jafar,
>Horny Goat Weed…….did nothing<

I wonder which ‘Horny Goat Weed’ product did not work for you.

>Tribulus….. only the Bulgarian Tribestan works<

Which brand/product works for you?

You should also try to get plenty of sleep and take one day a week to get away from the everyday stresses you are accustomed to.

I took DHEA in tablet form for a few months and did not notice much, but I now take it in a gel suspension (AndroD gel from Z-Labs) and I have noticed dramatic changes. Libido is high from about 1-5 hours after applications, and musculature has increased some.

Like anything else you can overdo it. Do some Internet searches on DHEA and dosing before you dive in head first. DHEA is the precursor to both testosterone and estrogen so your body shouldn’t get out of balance. You should also give the stuff some time to work.

One of the best testosterone builders is intense physical exercise. Excess body fat is associated with elevated estrogen levels. I have no idea if this is an issue for you, but cutting out alcohol, and getting fit can work wonders for a man’s libido. Seriously.

Is the gel suspension something that you rub on your skin or take orally?

I started taking Melatonin about two years ago and it has done a very good job with regulating my sleep.

I’ve been unable to work out for the last three months or so due to a case of nocturnal asthma that came up. I worked out for over two years before that but did not notice any change in my libido at all.

Call me a monomaniac, but of course I’m curious about the fish oil. How much EPA and DHA were you taking, and how long did you take it?

Also, if I recall you had some sort of strange illness?

What is EPA and DHA? Yes I had the same illness twice back in 2002.

Formula1 - cialis overdose

EPA and DHA are the active ingredients in fish oil, the omega-3 fatty acids.

I still think you have something going on, something you need to fix. I suppose the fish oil can’t hurt, but low libido is often the first telltale sign of something very off with the body.

I took fish oil for about 8 months. Still taking it until it runs out about the end of this month I think. Yes I agree something is very off with my body because I am exactly the OPPOSITE person that I was before all of this happened. But the question is how do I find out what it is? I’ve been to every doctor around and had every test run they can think of and nobody ever finds anything.

kbvk: I took the Pinnacle horny goat weed and it did nothing to me. As for tribulus, Tribestan is the brand name of the original Bulgarian product that first came into the market. I used it for a short time and it worked wonders. However, it was just too expensive.

Any suggestions for another brand of horny goat weed?

Again, how much EPA and DHA are you taking? Check the label.

Have you tried getting a second opinion, maybe with a brain specialist?

Considering the fact that yohimbe, maca, ginkgo biloba, tribulus (even though only Bulgarian trib) work for you, I would suggest Prolab horny goat weed for you.
Take atleast a week break from other supplements and give it a try. You said yohimbe works very well for you with side effects. This product has only 50mg of yohimbe ( 2% yohimbine extract, i.e. 1mg yohibine) per capsule. I guess, such a low dose won’t cause any side effects.

EPA 240mg per tablet
DHA 200mg per tablet

Taken three times a day but for about two months I took 6 a day.

I have had a MRI and two CAT scans but none of them showed anything.

kbvk: From what you said, it seems that this Prolab product is a mix of yohimbe and horny goat weed? I am really averse to yohimbe at the moment because its side effects are really bad (palpitations, anxiety, flushing… you name it). I would rather have pure horny goat weed. Let me check if Prolab has it.

Well that certainly should have done something, if it was going to do something. Hmm…..
