As a woman in pre menopause what supplement can increase my libido

Sources:

Maca root is the best-supported supplement discussed: 2–3 grams daily was associated with increased sexual desire in women, apparently without changing estrogen or testosterone. It was typically taken earlier in the day; check with your clinician before starting a supplement.

  • Other supplements: Tribulus terrestris and tongkat ali were also discussed, but the evidence presented was less robust or varied by study and population.
  • Prescription options: The discussion also mentioned bremelanotide (Vyleesi), an injection used before sexual activity, and daily Addyi (flibanserin), which was studied in premenopausal women and had a modest effect. These are medications, not supplements; discuss suitability with a healthcare professional.
