Libido & Desire

Shop libido support by concern

For men, see testosterone support and men’s health. For women, see women’s health. Because desire is closely tied to hormones and stress, many people also look at hormone concerns.

Popular options

Tongkat ali is a root from Southeast Asia, usually sold as a standardized extract. Maca is an Andean root taken by both men and women. Tribulus is traditionally used in Ayurveda. Horny goat weed (Epimedium) comes from traditional Chinese medicine. Ashwagandha is the adaptogen most people take for stress.

For women and for men

Many of these herbs are taken by both. Maca and ashwagandha are the most common choices for women, while tongkat ali and tribulus are most often found in men’s formulas. Combination products are usually labelled for one or the other, so check who a formula is made for before comparing it with a single herb.
