The three most important measures to increase a flagging libido are to exercise, improve circulation and control high blood pressure, and stop smoking. Supplements described below are best used after assuring adequate vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids are being consumed by following the General Maintenance Regimen so that basic nutrient deficiency is determined to not be the problem.
To boost hormone levels of all types in the body, the best diet to follow in general is The Zone Diet. A diet and (inexpensive) supplement plan to enhance libido by boosting hormone levels, increasing circulation, and increasing blood concentration of nitric oxide is as follows:
1. Eat oatmeal with raw hulled pumpkin and sunflower seeds for breakfast. Oats and pumpkin seeds boost libido and sex drive. Pumpkin seeds also provide essential fatty acids, plenty of zinc and magnesium, and control prostate problems. Sunflower seeds provide other good oils which boost energy levels.
2. Use maca and tribulus. Neither of these have adverse effects on the prostate as do some libido supplements. Besides boosting sex drive, tribulus is also good to lower blood pressure. Maca is an excellent herb in that it is very gentle on the system, is alkaline and calms the stomach, and can be taken in large amounts as desired.
3. If there are no sensitivities to it, eat dark chocolate with a high cocoa content - look for 70% or better. Only small amounts are necessary. The grocer chain Trader Joe's sells probably the best dark chocolate for the money. Also good are Endangered Species Extreme Dark Chocolate (88%!) and Supreme Dark Chocolate (70%), which are available at Vitamin Shoppe and many local health food stores. Good dark chocolate is high in fiber.
4. Eat an antioxidant-rich diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Drink hot tea (without sugar or cream) instead of coffee. If male, avoid estrogenic foods, especially soy.

Controlled Labs White Blood - 90 capsules. White Blood is probably the best nitric oxide booster for the money. It contains arginine and ornithine ethyl esters, highly absorbable forms of these amino acids, along with some taurine and antioxidants. A major benefit is it is no longer necessary to use huge amounts of arginine or ornithine to get the growth hormone and nitric oxide boosting effects of these due to the ethyl esters in White Blood. Advertised primarily as a weight lifting aid, White Blood is the best product available to increase blood flow and boost nitric oxide levels (the same effect as Viagra). An excellent program is to use White Blood in conjunction with Blue Up (see below) for a comprehensive regimen. |
Pure Essence Labs Libido for Women - 60 tablets. 4-Way Libido Support System. Lack of libido is associated, in Western medicine, with restricted blood flow to the gential region. L-Arginine increases blood flow to this region. Many herbs has also been used for this purpose. Blood flow, however, is not the only factor in reducing feminine desire. Weakness in the blood, coldness in the reproductive tract, lack of the energy know as "Kidney Yang" and general weakness in the group of organs known as the Kidney System are also involved. 4-Way Libido Support System helps you feel your best. |
Controlled Labs Blue Up is a testosterone booster of the highest potency and quality.

With the best herb extracts for boosting libido including longjack, yohimbe, avena, and tribulus, Blue Up, formerly known as Blue Rhino, is a potent supplement. An excellent program is to use Blue Up in conjunction with White Blood (see above) for a comprehensive regimen. |
