Herbal Prozac

I know, pills aren't cosmetics but since this is a review site of everything I've every tried, I thought I'd include this anyway. I've been suffering from mood swings for ages. It has been getting worse. I know its a bad case of hormonal imbalance the way the lower half of my face is covered with acne. It gets worse during that time of the month.

As a teenager, I'd take 1000mg of evening primrose oil daily to deal with PMS. This time, that 1000mg a day dosage had no effect. I upped the dosage to 4000mg (the maximum dose is 3000mg but I didn't care) just to get some relief. That's 4 grams of pure fat and I already have a weight problem. I had to find an alternative.

Provestra female libido enhancing herbal supplement to boost women's sex drive

FAQ: Women's libido-booster supplements

What's a "women's libido-booster" and why would I want one?

In recent years, most of the focus has been on men's sexual performance and pleasure. Now, there are products to help the woman achieve a stronger sex drive, a healthy excitement and interest in sex, a more complete natural arousal, and better responses throughout the sexual arousal cycle including a more powerful climax.

If you or your partner has experienced diminished sex drive and lower levels of sexual response due to fatigue, hormonal changes, stress, aging, or inadequate diet -- or if there's simply a disparity between the woman's and the man's sex drive in your relationship -- women's libido-booster supplements can help.

How do natural supplements for the woman's libido work?

These supplements are typically blended herbal formulas with a number of natural ingredients that each address some aspect of the female sexual response cycle. For instance, some ingredients act on the circulatory system to increase blood flow to the genitals, while others directly enhance production and balance of hormones associated with sexual health. Other ingredients may be specifically chosen for their beneficial effects on the female reproductive system and ability to create overall relaxation or a sense of well being. Taken daily, these supplements are meant to increase sexual response time, boost libido, intensify sexual sensations and orgasm, and balance the hormonal system for proper reproductive functioning.

Can I expect instant results from these products?

If you choose a good-quality, top-notch product, you will notice some results right away, mostly in the form of immediately increased sensations. Most women find that responses improve progressively with daily use over a period of time. Of course, inferior products may have little or no effect, so choose your supplement with care from a respected company that's been in existence for a while -- one excellent choice is Provestra™ from Albion Medical, a company that has been devoted to sexual health for men and women for many years.

I have never had a strong sex drive and seem not to have much sensitivity in the genital area. Can a women's libido-booster product help?

It's difficult to say exactly what may be behind your lack of interest in sex and lack of sexual response. You may wish to consult your practitioner if you want to understand the underlying causes. For most women who describe themselves as you do, however, natural supplements are very helpful. Women can experience the benefits of a healthy sex drive and proper sexual functioning with the correct, quality formula.

Are there any side effects?

If you choose a pure, natural product manufactured in a cGMP pharmaceutical facility (such as Provestra™ by Albion Medical), you can be assured of receiving a completely safe, herbal supplement that will not interfere with other medications or disrupt birth control. There are no side effects. However, because the herbal ingredients have effects on the entire sexual system, some women notice a slight increase in breast size. Also, you are advised to beware of products whose origin or ingredients are uncertain.

I know the cost of men's products like Viagra and Cialis and really high. Are these women's products prohibitively expensive, too?

The truth is, some are ridiculously costly and some are suspiciously cheap. The rule of thumb here is that you get what you pay for -- and for a good quality, clinically backed women's supplement, you can expect to pay about $50 for a month's supply, with reputable companies offering a discount for larger orders. So no, it's not prohibitively expensive when you consider that a good supplement contains top-quality ingredients which are more costly (and are more effective!) than cheaper substitutions. When you find out how fantastic this is for your sex life, you will likely feel that the cost is worth every penny.

Is it safe to take a product like this if I'm trying to get pregnant?

Again, you should choose an excellent quality supplement in any case, but especially if you are contemplating pregnancy. Look for assertions of safety from the manufacturer, and when in doubt, consult your doctor or midwife. In the case of Provestra™, it's been known to increase fertility. Once you confirm your pregnancy, you should always check with your practitioner regarding any supplements or medications you are taking -- even vitamins.

Should I tell my partner I am using a product like this?

We're all in favor of open communication -- and for some couples the fun of experimenting with a new sexual enhancer is a definite turn-on! For some women, though, having a little secret is an aphrodisiac all its own, not to mention a good gauge of how well your secret potion is working: if you and he are very happy with the more sexual you, there's your answer! Later if you want to cop to your secret, it may open him up to the whole category of natural supplements for men, like Vigrx so that he can keep up with you. Or you could slip a little Vigrx oil on him.

Surfing the net, I came across cases of women who after 3 months on Provestra, found that their mood swings vanished. Provestra is a herbal supplement meant to boost a woman's libido and it does so by balancing her hormones, from what I gather on the website. Makes sense. A woman with PMS wouldn't have much of a libido. Get rid of the hormonal imbalance and her libido would return.

The list of ingredients in Provestra looked more like a multi-vitamin supplement for women with herbs like ginseng that help with overall energy. In fact, it contained most of the herbs I used to take for overall health, gingko for memory, which I bought but forgot to take most days anyway. A single supplement that contained everything a woman needs sounded very attractive. Best of all, it balances the hormones without adding any additional fat to the body. One of the ingredients is in fact used in weight loss supplements to burn fat.

I bought a pack and started taking it. Been on it for 18 days so far. I keep thinking of it as my herbal prozac. In fact, I survived the past 2 days without having to pop Evening primrose oil when prior to this I had to pop 4 grams a day worth of EPO to get over the mood swings.

Bear in mind that this is a libido pill and the libido boosting effects increase with time, with the full effect felt after 3 weeks. I underestimated that part of it initially but figured how to get around it. The libido boost happens an hour after taking the pill. I get up in the morning, to get the kids ready to school. When they're gone, I pop the pill then go to sleep. By the time it kicks in, I'm sound asleep. I wake up in time to enjoy the energy boost for my daily activities, business, housework etc and have more energy than before on Provestra.
