Key Ingredients for Sexual Health Support

Practise safer sex: Use appropriate protection and follow testing recommendations.⁵

Start with your specific concern, then choose support that matches it.

Emotional sexual wellness: Consider maca with a licensed sexual-health claim.²

Match the approved use: Do not rely on broad libido or testosterone marketing claims.
Review the formula: Check the ingredient, amount, directions, and duration of use.
Consider medications: Maca, ginseng, and ashwagandha have important precautions and interactions.²–⁴
