NHP Libido Support for men and women

LOW libido, low sex drive, or simply not being interested in sex, does this sound like you? Both men and women can experience periods of low libido at any point in their lives.

Burning the candle at both ends, stress, tiredness, exhaustion, inadequate diet, and hormonal imbalance will affect sex drive. Some medication like anti-depressants may be impacting on your sex drive, have a chat with your doctor about this. Ask your doctor to do some blood tests for you. You could check hormone levels and maybe thyroid too.

Women will notice changes around the time of the menopause, and later as we get older, we may experience vaginal dryness and thinning mucous membranes. This can make sex feel uncomfortable which can result in lack of interest.

Some changes that may help include: Regular exercise as this can increase your self-image and improve your mood.

From time to time

I have read about certain foods being helpful to boost libido, oysters in particular comes to mind. But I think that ultimately, it’s a healthy balanced diet that’s needed.

I would aim to have plenty of omega oils from fish as this will help with lubrication in general throughout the body. Add in foods that are good for circulation like cayenne pepper, hawthorn tea, and buckwheat. Antioxidant rich foods found in brightly coloured fruit and vegetables will help too. You could add maca (a Peruvian herb traditionally used to improve sex drive) to smoothies, make tea with some ginger to improve circulation these small changes could make a difference.

Take a look at an interesting supplement put together by Dr. Marilyn Glenville PhD. This particular supplement is actually suitable for both men and women. It contains an excellent mix of nutrients to support the body and to help improve sex drive. It’s called NHP Libido Support. It contains L-arginine which is important for normal blood flow to those areas involved in a healthy sex life. L-histidine is included because low levels can contribute to low sex drive. It also contains Damiana, Rhodiola, and Ginger all considered natural aphrodisiacs, as well as Maca and Siberian ginseng.

NHP Libido Support is worth a try.
