Libido Support Supplements

HisSynergy: This is an excellent herbal supplement to support men’s (and women’s too!) libido and gives gentle/mild increases in testosterone. It contains: Tribulus (herb shown to increase libido & T, lower cholesterol, and lower BP) + Ashwaganda (herbal adrenal / stress support) + Cowage aka mucana purines (shows modest increases in testosterone levels).

Our recommended dosing is 1 twice a day for men, start 1 daily for women but can trial twice a day for women as well. It is safe to increase to higher doses for men as well! Amy has noted Free T levels increasing ~ 100-150 points for some patients taking this supplement!

HerSynergy: Is an herbal supplement to support women’s hormones. Its main ingredient is Fenugreek. Fenugreek is a tricky herb! It increases female libido & sexual desire by increasing prolactin & estradiol levels. Estradiol, also spelled oestradiol, is an estrogen steroid hormone and the major female sex hormone. It also demonstrated mild increases in female testosterone levels.

Fenugreek is a natural phytoestrogen meaning it hits the estrogen receptor, making it a great choice for menopausal women with hot flashes, etc. It also works well for women with low/normal estrogen levels. Monitor closely or consider another alternative for women struggling with elevated estradiol levels! The increases in prolactin levels make it a great supplement for nursing mothers who need to increase milk supply as it has shown to improve this as well!

Our recommended dosing is 1 once daily or twice daily, I would recommend monitoring estradiol levels or at least for signs of high estrogen. We do not recommend this one for men although some sources say it may be helpful with the phytoestrogen effect, but the information isn’t conclusive.

Please see one of our Excell providers for hormone level testing and recommendations on dosage.

Blessings!
