Research review
Human studies with this herbs indicate supplementation leads to enhanced sexual desire and may be helpful in women after menopause. This herb can also partially reverse sexual dysfunction that often occurs with the use of SSRI type antidepressants, such as Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft.
Reversing SSRI induced sexual dysfunction
I am often concerned using an herbal aphrodisiac along with prescription medications, but this study did not seem to indicate any untoward interactions.
A double-blind, randomized, pilot dose-finding study of maca root for the management of SSRI induced sexual dysfunction.
CNS Neurosci Ther. 2008. Depression Clinical and Research Program, Department of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
We conducted a double-blind, randomized, parallel group dose-finding pilot study comparing a low-dose (1.5 g/day) to a high-dose (3 g/day) maca regimen in 20 remitted depressed outpatients with SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction. The Arizona Sexual Experience Scale and the Massachusetts General Hospital Sexual Function Questionnaire were used to measure sexual dysfunction. Patients on 3 grams a day had a significant sexual improvement but subjects on 1.5 g/day did not. It was well tolerated. Maca root may alleviate SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction, and there may be a dose-related effect. This herb may also have a beneficial effect on libido.
I was not sure if the subjects were still on the SSRI medication when they were started on the maca supplement, so I emailed Dr. Christina Dording, MD in 2009 and she was kind enough to reply, “Thank you for your email. Subjects stayed on their SSRI dose for the duration of the study.” Best, Christina Dording, MD.
Sexual desire increase studies
A human study confirms the rodent findings. Researchers at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, in Lima, Peru, performed a 12-week double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial in which active treatment with different doses of maca was compared with placebo. Men aged 21-56 years received 3 grams. An improvement in sexual desire was observed at 8 weeks of treatment. Serum testosterone and estradiol levels were not different in men treated with maca than in those treated with placebo.
Maca root improves sexual behavior in male rats independently from its action on spontaneous locomotor activity.
J Ethnopharmacol. 2001.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acute and chronic Maca pulverised root oral administration on rat sexual behavior. Sixty male sexually experienced rats (20 group) were daily treated for 15 days. Both acute and chronic oral administration significantly improve sexual performance parameters in male rats.

Erectile dysfunction also referred to as impotence, is a man’s inability to attain or sustain a successful erection, sufficient for normal satisfying sexual intercourse.
Impotence can be caused by physiological disturbances, psychological factors and other problems. Nearly every man experiences impotence at some point.
If you are not chronically impotent – if you can achieve erection at certain situation, it’s likely that your problem is due to psychological factors.
For example, fear of failure, fear of pregnancy, fatigue, depression, anxiety and stress.
Both chronic and psychological impotence can be relieved with good natural erectile dysfunction remedies.
Aging is not a cause of impotence. A healthy and a contented man can be sexually vigorous well into eighties and beyond.
Other causes of erectile dysfunction
Some of the root causes of impotence include low level of DHEA and testosterone, high fat and low fiber diet, and hormone imbalance.
Heavy metal poisoning and illnesses such as arteriosclerosis, High blood pressure and diabetes can contribute to impotence.
The following drugs may also cause impotence: Antacids, alcohol, antidepressants and tranquilizers, antihistamines and cocaine.
The rest are diuretics, narcotics, nicotine, ativan, prozac, cardizem, inderal, paxil, valium, xanax, zantac,pepcid, tagamet, dyazid, and lasix.

Both maca & muira puama are pretty safe, I’ve used both together, it does take time to get into your system. It all comes down to the quality of the herbs your planing on using. Poor quality, no benefits. You might try the products on the first web site. Do not take Yohimbe!
