We test three products that help boost libido ahead of Valentine’s Day from female Viagra to powder
VALENTINE’S Day is said to be the most romantic day of the year – but if your hormones are all over the place you may not be in the mood for love.
To balance them, you need to get enough sleep, eat healthy fats, up your fibre intake, manage stress and exercise regularly.
There are also supplements that can help perk you up.
FEMALE VIAGRA
CELEBS including Abbey Clancy love The Golden Pill by Elle Sera, nicknamed female Viagra.
It contains five plant-based ingredients to boost libido, memory and athletic performance, and reduce stress.
Botanical compounds work similarly to the sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen to increase libido, but not in large enough amounts to cause unpleasant side effects, such as excess body hair.
First my mood balanced out and after taking for about a month I had more energy.
They are great.
From £1.66 a day, elle-sera.com/products.
INTIMACY PILL WITH VITAMINS
HEALTH & Her Intimacy+ Multi-Nutrient Support is designed to help women in three ways – sexual desire, nervous system and vaginal lining support.
This also contains tribulus fruit and maca, like The Golden Pill, but there is less maca in this one. It is a 5:1 formula, so not as strong.
But it’s a great multi-tasker with the added vitamins.
It contains all of your required daily intake of vitamins B2, B6 and C, minerals magnesium and biotin which help with the nervous system, plus it contains amino acids L-arginine and L-citrulline.
These helped me with my sleep – probably thanks to the magnesium that they contain.
Cost is from 65p a day. Check out healthandher.com.
LIBIDO-BOOST POWDER
THERE are lots of posh powders on the market and Aldi now has its own – which offers great results.
Its ActivMax Daily Balance contains libido-boosting maca root as well as baobab, hibiscus and ashwagandha, which all balance hormones.
The vegan-friendly powder has a lovely blueberry flavour and does not break the bank like loads of superfood powders do.
I loved the fruity taste of this and it mixed well with water.
This is a great powder for detoxing too, thanks to the hibiscus, which is good for your liver health. It contains just 13 calories per five servings.
Even better, you can pick it up when you get your groceries.
£8.99 for 100g bag (45p a day), Aldi.
