There’s finally an herbal supplement for women crafted to deliver pleasure & we couldn’t wait to tell you about it.
“If you could take an herbal supplement to help increase the chances of your orgasm - would you?”
That’s the question posed by sex and good, a female-owned supplement company that aims to support women on their sexual health & overall wellness, journey.
As soon as we got their supplements in our hands, we were obsessed. The blends are incredible & their current product line focuses on supporting female health in areas like hormone balancing, promoting good gut & vaginal flora, anti-inflammatories & of course, increasing sexual desire & pleasure.
Before going into the details of why we love the “omg" formula, let’s talk about why orgasms are important, especially for women.
First off, let’s start with some facts. Studies have shown that men are nearly two times more likely to achieve orgasm during sex than women. Another study found that women achieve orgasm 6% of the time during sex with a partner. That percentage for women increases to 39% when masturbating or experiencing self-pleasure. Traditionally, the male orgasm {aside from typically being easier to achieve on average} has been more of a focal point with products like Viagra being on the market since 1998. Thankfully, the topic of sexual health is becoming more & more mainstream, especially when it comes to female pleasure & satisfaction.
There are so many factors as to why desire can wane, never mind the likelihood of achieving orgasm. One of the biggest contributors is stress, more specifically the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol gets released into the body when we experience stress or anxiety. Cortisol can increase lethargy {make us feel fatigued & tired}, negatively impact our moods, cause weight gain, & can even trigger an overproduction of sebum which can cause acne breakouts. So what fights off cortisol? Oxytocin. Oxytocin, also referred to as "the love drug" is a peptide hormone produced in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain. It gets released through various types of sensory stimulation such as hugging or, through orgasm.
Orgasms have been known to have health benefits like helping increase pelvic floor circulation & distribute nutrients & hormones where your body needs them, improve mood, help to reduce & alleviate headaches, reduce menstrual cramps, boost your immune system, reduce stress, help to lower anxiety, help to increase DHEA {an anti-aging hormone}, improve sleep & so much more. To sum it up, orgasms & a healthy sexual well-being play an important factor in our overall mental, physical & emotional health.
What makes the “omg” oh so good?
This plant-based supplement contains an incredible blend of herbs & other ingredients that are designed to help boost sexual desire as well as increase the likelihood of achieving orgasm, whether during sex with a partner or during moments of self-pleasure. This formula is not just for women who are experiencing menopausal symptoms or are post-menopausal. Anyone at any age can experience a lack of desire or struggle to achieve orgasm if there is an increase of stress, a shift in mood, as well as the experience of hormonal issues or conditions present like PCOS. What we love most about this formula aside from the results, is that it takes a holistic approach, focusing on supporting the mind & body in order to elate the spirit. We’ve broken down the benefits of some of the key ingredients so that you can better understand just why the “omg” formula will have you saying “amen”.
Horny Goat Weed
Horny Goat Weed lowers cortisol {a stress hormone that can lower sex drive amongst creating other disrupts in the body}. It helps with blood flow, hormone balance, lowers stress, boosts testosterone. Horny Goat Weed is sometimes referred to as “nature’s viagra” & has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to improve sexual activity & drive in both men & women.
Fun Fact: Everyone has erectile tissue {for women it is located in the clitoris}. That tissue responds to a compound called icariin which is found in Horny Goat Weed, which helps to support circulation to sexual organs.
Maca Root Powder
Maca is a Peruvian root vegetable that is commonly used to help balance hormone levels & is a common go-to to help ease the symptoms of conditions like PCOS, PMS & estrogen dominance. Super rich in vitamin c, & minerals like iron, potassium & copper, Maca works to boost energy, increase libido & ease stress in the body.
Tongkat Ali
Tongkat Ali is an herbal aphrodisiac that has been used for centuries in Southeast Asia & Malaysia. With a long list of benefits, Tongkat Ali has been commonly used to help increase libido & sexual desire, reduce blood pressure, increase energy levels, treat lethargy & lower blood pressure. It has also been beneficial in helping restore hormone balance & helping to improve mood as well as depression.
Muira Puama Root Powder
Familiar with the “orgasmic flush?” It occurs just before achieving orgasm when histamine is released naturally in the body, causing a pink “flush” to appear across the skin. An aphrodisiac, Muira Puama Root helps to release histamine {the “flush”} as well as increase interest in sexual activity, ease menstrual disorders & has also been used to help with joint pain.
L-Arginine
An amino acid commonly used to help with circulation. Found in most red meat, poultry, fish & dairy, it converts into nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide causes blood vessels to open wider for improved blood flow which is important for many different areas of physical health & is also vital in helping with sexual satisfaction.
Panax Ginseng Root
An adaptogen {natural substances that are believed to stimulate the body's resistance to stressors} commonly taken for memory & cognitive health. It also helps improve sexual arousal & satisfaction, especially in postmenopausal adults. Panax Ginseng can improve sexual desire in females who experience pre-existing sexual issues as well as help to increase energy.
