ArginMax for Female Sexual Fitness was formulated specifically for women. It contains calcium and iron to help relieve fatigue issues specific to women. We have also replaced the American ginseng in the men's product with Damiana, an aromatic herb which helps calm anxiety and induce a relaxed state of mind. As with the men's formula, ArginMax for Female Sexual Fitness provides 100% of the RDA of vitamins A, C, E and the B-complex vitamins.

ArginMax for Female Sexual Fitness is a combination of L-Arginine, ginseng, ginkgo, and 14 essential vitamins and minerals which work together to improve sexual performance and enjoyment. Plus, it provides the benefits of a daily multi-vitamin which includes important antioxidants and the minerals calcium, iron, and zinc.

This pilot study explores the role of nutritional supplementation in female sexual function. The scientific literature indicates that certain botanical extracts, vitamins, or amino acids may play a role in sexual function, including:

L-Arginine
· Precursor to nitric oxide (NO).
· NO may modulate vaginal blood supply and smooth muscle relaxation.
· Supplementation impacts NO production.
· May reduce cell-mediated breakdown of cGMP.

Korean Ginseng (Panax Ginseng):
· Ginsenosides may up-regulate NOS activity, hence enhance the conversion of L-Arginine to NO.
· Ginsenosides shown to increase NO production in endothelial cells.

Ginkgo Biloba:
· Facilitates microvascular circulation.

Damiana:
· Helps promote a relaxed state of mind.
· Phyto-progestin receptor binding activity.

This study examines a systematically designed combinatorial nutritional supplement for the enhancement of female sexual function using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), a validated assessment instrument.

• 70.6% improved in sexual desire level
  (placebo=37.5%), (p<0.01)
• 73.5% improved in satisfaction with sex life
  (placebo=33.3%), (p<0.01)
• 61.8% improved in sexual relationship with partner
  (placebo=33.3%), (p<0.02)
• 47.1% improved in frequency of orgasms
  (placebo=25.0%), (p<0.03)
• 52.9% improved in clitoral sensation to stimulation
  (placebo=29.2%), (p<0.02)

Side Effects
No significant change in blood pressure. No reports of headaches, nausea, stomach upset, chest pain, dizziness, vision disturbance, or cardiovascular complications.

Role of nutritional supplements for sexual health is an infrequently discussed yet extremely important subject which warrants in-depth research.

As a general rule, anyone with any medical conditions including but not limited to anyone on prescription medications, or with a history of cancer, heart disease, stroke, migraine headaches, renal failure, liver failure, severe allergies, or other conditions, should consult their physician before starting on a new diet or nutritional supplement.

If you are pregnant or are nursing, you should avoid taking ArginMax.
