Sexual concerns are very common among women. A recent University of Chicago study found that 43 percent of women surveyed reported a lack of sexual desire, difficulty becoming aroused, inability to achieve orgasm, lubrication problems in women and pain during intercourse. Stress, depression, lack of sleep, too much work, prescription drugs, poor nutrition and menopause are a few reasons why women are lacking desire or having problems achieving orgasm. Untreated these concerns can have lasting effects on self-esteem, health, marriage, career and friendships.

SexEssentials contains nutrients that can not only get you thinking about sex again but also improve your overall health.

Increased desire
Arginine is an essential amino acid, one of the building blocks of proteins in the body. In supplement form it is known as "L-arginine."

In women, L-arginine increases "staying power." Both men and women report that L-arginine increases their libido or desire for sex. Reports also suggest that L-arginine supplements can improve fertility in men who have low sperm counts or poor sperm motility (activity). L-arginine is responsible for sexual arousal in women and erections in men.

The "Little Blue Pill" for Women
Eurycoma longifolia,also known as Malaysian Ginseng, has been used in Asia to promote well being, improve health, increase strength, increase libido and as a powerful aphrodisiac in women.

Eurycoma is gaining popularity around the world for its aphrodisiac properties. So much so that more and more scientists are interested in determining exactly how and why it works. The Forest Research Institute of Malaysia, in cooperation with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has an ongoing five-year Malaysia MIT Biotechnology Partnership Program to determine if it works as an aphrodisiac because it increases testosterone.

Although no human studies have been done, according to anecdotal evidence 80 to 90 percent of people who try Eurycoma notice a definite increase in their libido.

One 47 year-old woman said, "I have had a low libido and for years I thought something was wrong with me and it was making my husband crazy. The I tried Eurycoma Longifolia. I took the capsules as directed and, after about a week and a half, noticed that I was actually thinking about sex again. Plus my vaginal dryness has improved too.

Another 48 year-old woman reported after using Eurycoma for a few months that, "I did not have this kind of sex drive when I was 30."

Increased sexual response
Sexual arousal occurs not just in the genitals but in the whole body, especially in the brain. For women, the neurotransmitter that sends sexual messages to the nerves called acetylcholine (Ach) is also a very important part of sexual function, and its effectiveness in increasing sexual arousal and response has been supported by a number of laboratory studies. ACh is involved in the build-up toward orgasm and the urethral and vaginal contractions that occur during orgasm as well as the subjective perception of orgasm intensity and duration.

Improved blood flow
Many research studies have shown ginkgo to be a major aid in improving blood flow through small blood vessels. Enhancing blood flow to the genitals heightens sexual sensations. We also know that ginkgo biloba also significantly increases mental acuity and memory. Sexual desire starts in the brain.

Increased libido
Tribulus terrestris—also known as the puncture vine—has been used as a prosexual herb for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks used it as a general health tonic and diuretic. The Chinese used it as a cure for impotence.

Recent tribulus studies have verified claims that have been made for hundreds of years. It appears to benefit the cardiovascular system, ease symptoms of angina pectoris and reduce blood pressure. Other studies indicate that it may also be helpful in treating the symptoms of menopause.

Tribulus works as an adaptogen, which means that it has a general tonic effect of bringing into balance a variety of hormones and other biochemicals. Tribulus raises testosterone levels when they are low but will not cause testosterone to become unbalanced.

According to Ward Dean, anti-aging specialist, tribulus may be a hypothalamic sensitizer. In other words, it rejuvenates the hypothalamus—the part of the brain that regulates levels of testosterone and many other hormones.

There also appears to be no down side to taking tribulus: You can take it continuously for years and in addition to improving your sex drive, it will also improve your overall health.
