As a retired teacher, I am allowed to discuss this topic and wished I had known more about it in my younger years.
A popular, small leafy plant whose roots and fruit used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for boosting the libido is “Tribulus.”
It is also widely available as a sports supplement and commonly marketed to boost testosterone levels and, of course, improve one’s sex drive.
While human studies have not shown that it can raise testosterone levels, it appears to increase the sex drive in both men and women.
In a 90-day study in women reporting low sexual pleasure, taking 750 mg of Tribulus terrestris daily increased sexual satisfaction in 88 percent of partcipants.

What’s more, a 2-month study in men revealed that taking 750-1500 mg of Tribulus terrestris daily improved sexual desire in 79 percent of them. Check out this link to learn more: Pro-sexual and androgen enhancing effects of Tribulus terrestris L.: Fact or Fiction - PubMed (nih.gov)
However, studies in men with erectile dysfunction show mixed results. One study found that taking 800 mg of this supplement daily for 30 days did not treat erectile dysfunction. Conversely, in another study, taking 1,500 mg daily for 90 days improved erections, as well as sexual desire.

This is NOT the only supplement available for boosting one’s libido. More will be revealed in upcoming articles.
