Men and Women’s Sexual Health: How to Improve Libido

Sexual health is a hot topic, as both men and women can struggle with libido and/or performance. Many things factor into these issues, including stress, cardiovascular inflammatory markers, blood flow, and hormone levels. While performance and libido are different topics and require different approaches, we’re focusing first on how to improve libido: 

Natural Supplements

We can help you find a supplement that can help improve your libido, and we stock only the best, high-quality products available. For both men and women, Libido’s formula was designed to address sexual dysfunction factors such as hormone balance, energy levels, and nervous system function. It also contains natural herbs and other ingredients to revitalize sexual arousal and drive. For men, the Stamina & Libido Formula promotes men’s health and vitality by supporting stamina and optimizing performance. Libido Stim-M is formulated with an effective herb that helps maintain normal testosterone levels and desire, as well as mood and energy levels. For women, this Female Libido liquid formula is made from pure and organic herbal extracts and can help support and enhance healthy sexual function. Libido Stim-F is another option for supporting desire, as it promotes a healthy metabolism of testosterone and estrogen, as well as normal blood flow and adrenal function.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are made up of the same chemical structure as what the body produces, so they are easily absorbed and put into action. Both men and women can benefit from this treatment, as it’s tailored to your exact needs. 

Peptide Therapy

Peptides are proteins made up of amino acids that signal your body to do certain functions. Peptide therapy can be beneficial for multiple health and wellness goals, one of them being increasing sex drive. This type of treatment comes in several forms, including injection, topical cream, or oral capsule. Two specific injectable peptides found to be effective are Sermorelin and PT-141. Sermorelin is used for its many anti-aging effects, including overall wellness, fat loss, and increased libido. PT-141 targets both sexual desire and the ability to perform for both men and women and instead of targeting the vascular system like a PDES inhibitor, this peptide acts on the nervous system by activating neurons in the brain to increase desire.

Lifestyle Changes

Other topics to talk about with a healthcare professional are your stress levels, mental health, side effects of any medications you’re currently taking, and other important medical history factors. Speaking with your partner and/or a therapist, adjusting your medications, or improving your diet and exercise routine are just a few of the things you can do to help improve your libido in addition to the options mentioned above.
