Muira puama has been used to increase testosterone levels. Traditionally used for impotence, poor sexual performance or diminished vitality, it is considered one of the excellent herbal aphrodisiacs and was much revered by British explorers who saw it’s effectiveness and decided to take it back to England. It can be found in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia (1983) listed as an astringent, aromatic and aphrodisiac, indicated for dysentery and impotence. Interestingly, clinical research in 1995 by Dr. Jacques Waynberg, a leading authority on sexual function, showed promising results. Trials were conducted trials at the institute of sexology with 262 men with decreased libido or inability to attain or maintain an erection. They were given an extract of muira puama over a 2-week period. The results were quite amazing with 62% of the men having a positive effect on their libido and 51% had improvement with erections. There were no reported side effects with this herb. When compared to the prescription drug yohimbe hydrochloride, with it’s possible side effects, muira puama extract proved to be more effective for loss of libido and impotency.
A second clinical trial conducted at the same institute with 100 patients reported that 70% indicated a strengthening of their libido, 66% reported a greater frequency of sex, and 66% reported less fatigue.
