Maca Powder

When it comes to aphrodisiacs, Maca Powder has been one of the longest standing in the game. The malty-flavoured Peruvian herb has been traditionally used for over 2,000 years, praised for its many health benefits which include boosting both sex drive and fertility. Backed by clinical studies, Maca has been found to improve sexual desire after just six weeks of ingestion. With low sex drive a common problem amongst adults, a little bit of Maca may be just what’s needed to relight your fire. Maca Powder can be added into smoothies, baking and breakfast foods such as oats, making it a versatile food to keep your libido in check.

Goji Berries

Goji berries, most commonly consumed in dried or powder form, also have a great reputation when it comes to sexual superfoods. Containing properties that increase testosterone production, goji berries have the power to stimulate sex drive in both men and women. They also improve overall mood, wellbeing and stamina, all of which contribute to a better and more exciting sex life. Sprinkle over breakfasts and desserts for a natural healthy sweetener, or adding the powdered form into your favourite sweet recipes. You certainly won’t wall short of ways to use the delicious berry to improve your sex drive.

Dark Chocolate

Raw cacao, which can be consumed through cacao powders and rich dark chocolate, is a great way to improve your sex life. After all, who doesn’t love chocolate? Cacao powder can be added to smoothies, hot chocolates, oats or baking, as can dark chocolate, which can also be enjoyed on its own. Dark chocolate and Cacao are a great aphrodisiac due to the compound theobromine, which stimulates the nervous system to make you feel excitable and uplifted. Cacao also helps boost energy, so you’ll have plenty of steam in the tank when it comes to getting down to it.

Truffles

Truffles are a nutty form of fungus, commonly infused into foods including pasta, cheese and fries. The musky scent of truffles has been said to replicate androsterone, a pheromone associated with mating and sexual attraction, making the distinct ingredient perfect for sending sexual signals and triggering sexual interest in your partners. Truffle can be bought in a number of forms – raw and ready to shave onto your dishes, or infused into oils and sauces made to add into your favourite meals to increase your sexual spark.

Strawberries

Strawberries, alongside other popular berries such as raspberries, are packed with Zinc, an essential nutrient when it comes to sexual activity for both men and women. For women, high levels of zinc allow the body to effectively prepare for sex, and for men zinc helps keep testosterone levels where they need to be, keeping prostate health and sexual eagerness at a healthy level. Amongst a whole range of other vitamins, the vitamin C in strawberries also helps increase blood flow, making it easier to become sexually aroused and reach orgasm.
