The initiator or trigger to all sexual responses occurring within the male system is initially driven by the libido. Libido research by Bulgarian researchers led to investigation into Tribulus terrestris. It has been found that Tribulus may increase testosterone levels by boosting blood levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), a hormone that plays a significant role in testosterone regulation. By 1981, standardized tribulus extracts entered into mainstream eastern European medical practice as a treatment for low libido, infertility, and poor sexual function. More recent studies with boars concluded that Tribulus brought dramatic increase in libido -- 71% recovery of libido and sexual reflexes (Sopharma 1997). Studies on 212 men between 14 and 60 confirmed by three separate teams documented consistent results.

To further address libido and the main receptors in the brain linked to libido, Elima Biotronics has included Mucuna Pruriens. Also, known as velvet bean, various herbal practitioners have used it for centuries to manage Parkinson's disease and nerve impairment, depression and improve mental alertness. Among other natural phytochemicals, Mucuna also contains L-Dopa (l-dihydroxyphenylalanine). When taken orally, it crosses through the "blood-brain barrier." Once it crosses, it is converted to dopamine. The resulting increase in brain dopamine concentrations is believed to improve sexual function. Mucuna has been prescribed as an aphrodisiac by herbalists and a recent study revealed that the herb is useful in improving sexual performance in normal male animal models. The authors of that study concluded that the effects on mating behavior and sexual performance in the male rats could partially be attributed to the androgenic effect of Mucuna.

Though widely known primarily for its ability to increase blood circulation to the brain, ginkgo biloba has also been shown to increase sexual function in multiple studies. Urologists performing studies in Germany concluded that ginkgo's effect on the brain (the largest sex organ) was profound on men's erections. A separate study at University of California concluded that ginkgo dramatically impacted all four (4) phases of sexual response: desire, excitement, orgasm and resolution (afterglow).
