On Valentine's Day, definitely don't soothe hormones, choose dietary supplements that suit them

When libido misbehaves, it's good to help it a little

Libido is a synonym for intimate desire. It varies for every person and can fluctuate depending on many influences. It decreases, for example, with hormonal imbalance (e.g. menopause and andropause, postpartum period), with increasing age, after surgery, or following stress. Diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption also affect its functioning. Symptoms of reduced libido are multiple; in men, erectile dysfunction is most commonly mentioned.

The problem may be temporary, in which case it makes sense to consider changing your diet and overall lifestyle habits, reduce stress load, and include suitable dietary supplements that help support blood circulation and at the same time act as tonics for the body. However, it is important to emphasize that if it is a long-term, persistent problem, the person experiencing it should make a medical consultation appointment, as it can be associated with more serious health complications. Since much has been written on this topic about various adaptogens and dietary supplements from plants, we want to focus more on oligotherapy and vitamins.

Vitamins and minerals also play a significant role in libido

Generally, people focus more on seeking aphrodisiac plants when facing libido issues, whether in the form of spices or herbs. They turn to gemmotherapy remedies (extracts from buds and young plant parts), aromatherapy. But what they significantly forget is that various body functions are also connected with vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Among other things, they help maintain balanced hormone levels in the body, reduce inflammation symptoms, or play a role in supporting blood circulation. Everything is simply connected with everything.

Intimate sphere problems are not popular topics. However, based on scientific findings, such as the effects of trace elements (minerals and trace elements) on the human body, we have relatively good information. These are mainly used by naturopaths.

Some nutrients are indeed important for intimate balance. A lack of iodine can influence the functioning of thyroid hormones, which contribute especially to the natural functions of libido. Then there is zinc, a well-known mineral needed to maintain normal testosterone levels in the blood.

You should also not underestimate magnesium. It is important for proper relaxation and reducing fatigue, as well as better muscle contraction (this applies generally to men and is also connected to the ability to maintain a proper erection).

• B vitamins are involved in energy metabolism, hormonal activity regulation, and protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Vitamin B1 helps maintain adequate testosterone levels and combats sexual fatigue, contributing to physical performance and good central nervous system health (linked to erection).
• Vitamin B3 is essential for the synthesis of sex hormones and neurotransmitters. It supports blood vessel dilation, which can improve erection quality.
• Vitamin B5 contributes to the synthesis of steroid hormones, including testosterone. It also helps manage stress and increases physical resilience by reducing the feeling of fatigue.
• Vitamins B6 and B9 are important for sperm quality, contributing to DNA development. Especially vitamin B9 may play a positive role in treating premature ejaculation.
• Vitamin B12 is essential for spermatogenesis and may help increase sperm count.
• Vitamin C is known for reducing fatigue, which can positively affect sexual functions. Studies have shown it can also improve mood and sexual activity.
• Vitamin E improves sperm motility, quantity, and quality, while protecting sperm from oxidative damage as an antioxidant.
• Selenium acts as an antioxidant, protects male reproductive organs, and naturally supports sperm quality. It plays a role in nitric oxide synthesis, which affects erectile function.
• Zinc is essential for enzymatic reactions and plays a critical role in cell division, the reproductive system, and intimate desire. In men, zinc supports testosterone synthesis and improves sperm quality and quantity.

Try organ nutrition

We generally do not hide that organ nutrition is a long-term hot topic for us. We simply fell in love with it and have only the best personal experiences. Because by adding quality vitamin C, magnesium, you basically have a daily dose of B vitamins and trace elements covered quite well. You can take it as individual organs or complexes if you want to target more things at once. Because overcoming prejudices really pays off, we can only confirm that.

Organ meats are among the most nutritious foods available. For example, our favourite Nutriest Grass-fed lyophilised bio organ complex capsules contain B-complex, fat-soluble vitamins D3, E, and K2, choline and are also sources of iron, zinc, selenium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and manganese, including folate (vitamin B9 or folic acid), coenzyme Q10.

If you want to target male and female hormones directly, try complexes and extracts specifically designed for this purpose:

Nutriest Lyophilised oyster extract is an ideal choice for those who want to try the effects of oysters but have not dared to try them raw. It serves as an excellent source of zinc, selenium, vitamin D, iodine, and vitamin B12. The dietary supplement is suitable for both genders.

Nutriest Pregnancy and fertility is a complex for women who are preparing for motherhood. It is a mixture containing lyophilised oyster extract, beef spleen, colostrum, and beef liver. The organ complex is suitable for use before conception and during pregnancy as a source of natural vitamins and minerals for mother and child.

Nutriest Grass-fed lyophilised bio bull glands may sound strange to some but are a very rich source of zinc, which contributes to protection against oxidative stress and maintaining normal testosterone levels. This dietary supplement may therefore be very interesting for active men.

Also noteworthy within the hormonal sphere is Nutriest Grass-fed lyophilised bio thyroid gland capsules, which is a synergistic complex of beef thyroid gland combined with kidneys and liver. So practically a dietary supplement that cares for multiple organs. It is ideal for regulating thyroid hormones, supporting sleep, maintaining balanced energy reserves, and actively fighting fatigue.
