Originating in the Amazon, Muira Puama Root (Ptychopetalum Olacoides) is traditionally known as a potent aphrodisiac, and for this reason it first attracted the attention of herbalists. Soaked in rum and buried for a week, the result extract is often used to improve libido and performance. It is often used to enhance stamina, mental clarity, and increase energy.
Scientific study has shown that Muira Puama root can increase blood flow to the pelvis region and possibly balance hormones. This has been observed to increase libido, improve erections in men, and improve sensitivity and orgasm in women. Long term use has demonstrated some increase in sex hormones for both genders.
