Muira puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides) In one French study among 262 male patients who experienced lack of sexual desire and the inability to attain or maintain an erection, 62% of the patients with loss of libido reported that muira puama "had a dynamic effect," and 51% of patients with erectile dysfunction felt that muira puama was beneficial.* The second study evaluated positive psychological benefits of muira puama in 100 men with male sexual weakness. In their final report, researchers indicated muira puama could "enhance libido [in 85% of the test group], increase the frequency of intercourse [in 100%] and improve the ability to maintain an erection [in 90%]."* Rowland, D.

Catuaba (Erythroxylum catuaba) According to Dr. Meira Penna, catuaba "functions as a stimulant of the nervous system, above all when one deals with functional impotence of the male genital organs. . . it is an innocent aphrodisiac, used without any ill effects at all."* Vaz, Z.

Huanarpo Macho (Jatropha macrantha) Huanarpo macho is as popular in Peru as a male aphrodisiac as muira puama is in Brazil for the same purpose.* It is widely used in Peruvian herbal medicine systems to restore male sexual potency, for premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and as a male sexual tonic and aphrodisiac.* Oshima, M., et al. “Effects of Lepidium meyenii Walp and Jatropha macrantha on blood levels of estradiol-17 beta, progesterone, testosterone and the rate of embryo implantation in mice.” J.

Sarsaparilla (Smilax officinalis, glabra) Sarsaparilla is a rich source of phytosterols. It contains the plant steroids sarsasapogenin, smilagenin, sitosterol, stigmasterol, and pollinastanol; and the saponins sarsasaponin, smilasaponin, sarsaparilloside, and sitosterol glucoside, among others. The majority of sarsaparilla's pharmacological properties and actions have been attributed to these steroids and saponins.* Chu, K.
