for WOMEN™ supports
healthy sexual and reproductive function
DESCRIPTION
OptimumFx
™
by Nutrition Dynamics, Inc. is a
vitamin and herb supplement
specifically formulated for a man’s
health.
FUNCTIONS
The body requires protein to build
muscle and other tissues, and to
produce essential compounds such as
hormones and enzymes. Therefore,
they are vital for proper
functioning of all physiological
systems, including the nervous,
musculo-skeletal, endocrine and
immune systems. Some have suggested
that increased protein synthesis
follows prolonged exercise. Athletes
competing in body building or
endurance sport may require
significantly more protein that the
normal requirement.
Vitamin E is one of the body’s most
important antioxidant nutrients,
protecting healthy cells from
oxidative and free radical damage.
Free radicals are unstable chemicals
formed in the body during metabolism
and from exposure to environmental
pollutants. When an excessive number
of free radicals are formed, they
can degrade the structure and
function of healthy cellular
components, especially membrane
lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Yohimbe bark (Pausinystalia yohimbe)
has been used traditionally in
western Africa as a male
aphrodisiac. Its 6% alkaloid
content, primarily yohimbine, is
responsible for its reputation as a
sexual stimulant and mild
hallucinogen. Yohimbe and its
constituent yohimbine dilate blood
vessels throughout the body
including the genitalia, presumably
encouraging an erection with the
increased blood flow to the penis.
As a vasodilator, Ginkgo biloba, may
provide the same result, as well as
improving libido.
The leaves of the Damiana shrub (Turnera
diffusa) were traditionally used as
an aphrodisiac by the Mayan Indians
of Central America. Although used as
a restorative herb for women’s
reproductive functions, damiana has
been principally seen as an herb for
treatment of male impotence. Native
to the Brazilian rainforests, the
tree Muira puama (potency wood) has
been used by Amazonian Indians as a
nerve tonic and aphrodisiac.
