Thanks to its high level of vegetable proteins and its richness in antioxidants which considerably delay cellular aging, moringa contributes to the maintenance of an active sexuality over time. Other contributions of the plant act in an even more targeted way on the libido and make it a powerful natural aphrodisiac.
Moringa reduces stress
In periods of intense stress (personal concerns, professional worries, couple problems), sexual desire and pleasure can be seriously affected, or even simply disappear. In fact, sexual impotence is often the result of psychological problems. Under stress, the activity of the part of the brain responsible for arousal decreases. Stress also induces the production of cortisol which can cause sexual problems. Thus, in men, depression doubles the risk of erectile dysfunction.
As we know, moringa is a natural antidepressant and mood regulator. It contains, among other things, tryptophan, the metabolic precursor of serotonin, the so-called “happiness” hormone. Without forgetting the essential fatty acids that promote the connections of the nervous system, thus generating a good level of dopamine, the hormone of pleasure. A daily practice of meditation can complete this anti-stress effect for a fulfilling sexuality.
Moringa provides energy
Another recurring cause of loss of libido is fatigue. This is induced by a degraded physical condition, generally linked to a poor lifestyle and/or an underlying health problem. For example, individuals with atherosclerosis (obstruction of blood vessels that impairs blood circulation) have more difficulty obtaining and maintaining a sufficiently firm erection. This is also the case for people with metabolic disorders, diabetes, obesity, heart failure or high cholesterol.
Due to its very rich nutritional value, moringa provides the organs with the energy they need to function properly. Among the nutrients that this plant contains, we can mention isoleucine, an amino acid that participates in the production of energy and improves the level of endurance. In addition, moringa leaf powder is recognized for its cholesterol-lowering, cardiotonic and hypoglycemic properties which stimulate blood flow to the reproductive organs. Enough to support erectile function in men (penis) and in women (clitoris), while maintaining sexual desire in good shape!
A healthier lifestyle can also help: no cigarettes or drugs, little alcohol, regular exercise, a balanced diet…
Moringa promotes testosterone production
Thousands of years ago, in Vedic medicine, moringa leaves and seeds were among the remedies used to prevent and cure erectile dysfunction in men.
Today, several recent scientific studies1,2,3 [FD1] demonstrate the effectiveness of Moringa oleifera as a natural testosterone booster. Men who do not produce enough moringa and/or who suffer from hypogonadism can therefore consume moringa leaf powder daily – the recommended dose is 5 g per day – as a dietary supplement to improve their sexual performance.
