…discussing supplements with peer-reviewed research for increasing libido
“There are many such substances, but three that in particular have good peer-reviewed research to support them are maca, M-A-C-A, which is actually a root, tongat ali, also sometimes called longjack. The studies on maca are quite convincing that consumption of two to three grams per day of maca, which generally is sold as a powder or a capsule, typically consumed early in the day because it can be somewhat of a stimulant.”
