In folk medicine, damiana is
recognized to have aphrodisiac qualities. It is said that it
heightens sexual desire and enhances sexual performance.
Results of a few small laboratory studies suggest that damiana may
have a slight ability to widen blood vessels – an effect that may
relieve male impotence to some extent. Its medicinal uses
include depression and anxiety, particularly when influenced by
sex-related factors.

Fo-ti is popular among older
people because it is said to tranquilize the spirit and nourish
the blood. The properties of this herb are often compared to
Ginseng in its ability to invigorate body and especially the
penis. In Oriental philosophy, it is said to increase Yin,
thereby improving physical and mental health. Both
unprocessed and processed fo-ti have been shown in animal and
human studies to lower blood levels of “bad” low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and raise the levels of “good”
high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. It is believed that
antioxidant effects are involved, as well as lectin activity.
Although early results look promising, more studies are needed
to prove the cholesterol-lowering effects of fo-ti.

Gotu Kola promotes relaxation and
is useful as brain food to rebuild energy reserves and stamina.
It can increase mental and physical power, combat stress and
improve reflexes. It is known to relieve high blood pressure and
strengthen the walls of the blood vessels, thus regulating blood
flow throughout the body. Gotu Kola also neutralizes blood
toxins and helps balance hormones and relax the nerves. When
they are used topically, asiaticoside, madecassoside, and other
chemicals in gotu kola have been proved to promote the healing
of skin injuries and conditions. These chemicals appear to
increase collagen formation and also to have anti-inflammatory
effects. Collagen is the fibrous protein that is mainly
responsible for the strength and flexibility of the skin, which
allows the penis to become healthier, more flexible and more apt
to grow larger.
This herb acts to tone and strengthen
the male reproductive system. It may be used safely where a boost to
male sex hormones is required. It is perfectly suited for cases of
enlarged prostate glands and has been shown in numerous clinical
studies to diminish the signs and symptoms of BPH. Saw palmetto is
used by both men and women to increase sexual desire and boost their
sex drive to a level where a couple is again able to enjoy a healthy
sex life.
Menthol is an astringent, which opens
your pores when applied to the skin . This means that by opening the
pores of the skin, the nutrients or medicinal ingredients are passed
more effectively through the skin and into the blood stream.
The menthol contained in ProEnhance facilitates and regulates the
absorption of herbal ingredients into your skin and blood stream at
an even and consistent rate for the duration of the patch (3 whole
days).
Ginseng is used for conditions of
tiredness, weakness, debility, convalescence, low resistance, aging,
stress, poor metabolism, and lack of concentration. In Asia, ginseng
is commonly included in herbals used for the treatment of sexual
dysfunction. Recent studies have shown that both Asian and American
forms of ginseng enhance libido and sexual performance.
These effects of ginseng may not be
due to changes in hormone secretion, but to direct effects of
ginseng, or its ginsenoside components, on the central nervous
system and gonadal tissues. Indeed, there is good evidence that
ginsenosides can facilitate penile erection by directly inducing the
vasodilatation and relaxation of penile corpus cavernosum.
Moreover, the effects of ginseng on
the corpus cavernosum appear to be mediated by the release and/or
modification of release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells and
perivascular nerves. Ginseng extracts have also been shown to have
antioxidant activity and to protect against radiation damage.
European clinical trials have found an increase in reaction times,
alertness, concentration, and visual and motor coordination.
