Libido Mann combines valuable plant extracts with important minerals and vitamins. The traditional European fenugreek together with branded raw materials from the red ginseng and the maca root, which have been tested in studies, inspire with their effect. Extracts from the tribulus plant support the body in many ways. The valuable mineral zinc contributes to normal fertility and thus normal reproduction and is part of this unique product. In addition, selenium contributes to normal sperm formation and vitamin B6 has a regulating effect on hormone activity.
The semi-essential amino acid L-arginine is involved in many physiological processes in the body. Humans can synthesise arginine themselves within the urea cycle, but the quantities produced are not sufficient to completely cover the requirements in all situations of life. Especially the additional demand for arginine caused by stress or illness exceeds the amount produced by the body.
The Tribulus plant originally comes from Africa, and is also widespread in Southern and Eastern Europe and in Asia. The plant is capable of flowering all year round. Originally, the plant was used by various primitive peoples as a natural aphrodisiac. The plant contains the secondary plant substance of saponins (triterpenes). The body's own hormone testosterone also belongs to the group of triterpenes. In addition, the plant contains the triterpene diosgenin, which occurs in the body as a precursor to the formation of steroid hormones.
Red ginseng (Panax ginseng), also known as sam root or power root, is mainly found in mountain and forest regions in northern Korea, north-eastern China and south-eastern Siberia. Ginseng has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine as an adaptogen and tonic. In earlier times, the ginseng root was so valuable that it was reserved only for kings or emperors. This made the root more valuable than gold.
Ginseng is still very popular today. One reason for this is the secondary plant substances of ginsenosides.
The ginsenoside content of ginseng products is often equated with the proportion of saponins. This is misleading, as not every saponin component belongs to the ginsenosides. However, NatuGena provides information on the actual ginsenoside content in the product.
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) contains many minerals and vitamins as well as important secondary plant substances such as flavonoids and saponins. It also contains substances from the group of triterpenes (e.g. diosgenin). Our body's own steroid hormone testosterone also belongs to the triterpenes. Fenugreek has been used in folklore for a long time. Hildegard von Bingen and Sebastian Kneipp already appreciated this tasty member of the butterfly family. Seeds of fenugreek were even found in the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamen.
Maca is a root from the Andes and is known there for its vitalising and energising effect. Maca powder contains 14% protein and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The high content of antioxidants, such as selenium, helps to protect the cells from oxidative stress and free radicals. The Maca powder used here is obtained from high-quality Maca roots (Lepidium meyenii, syn. Lepidium peruvianum Ch.) from the high Andes regions. Maca roots from these regions have a higher content of secondary plant substances compared to maca from low altitudes, as they grow under more difficult conditions and thus produce a greater number of protective substances in higher concentrations. These ingredients are responsible for the many positive properties of this raw material.
Vitamins B6, B9 and B12 play an important role in the body's energy production. They are involved in various metabolic processes that lead to the conversion of nutrients into energy. They are also involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and support normal functioning of the nervous system. All B vitamins are contained in their bioactive form.
