Muira Puama root extract 10:1
Muira Puama root extract 10:1 is a concentrated form of the root and bark of the Muira Puama plant, which is native to the Amazon region. It is used for various purposes, including sexual disorders, increasing sexual desire in healthy people, menstrual disorders, joint pain, and other conditions.
The extract is rich in alkaloids, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, essential oils, plant sterols, and triterpenes. Some studies suggest that Muira Puama may help with sexual dysfunction, improve cognitive function, reduce stress, soothe stomach pains, relieve joint pain, improve cholesterol levels, stimulate hair growth and weight loss.
One study involving women with low sex drive found that taking 2-6 tablets of a specific product containing Muira Puama extract and ginkgo extract modestly improved sexual desire and the frequency of sexual intercourse.
The recommended oral dose of Muira Puama appears to be 1000-1500mg of a 4:1 concentrated extract (equivalent to 4,000-6,000mg of the basic extract). When taken by mouth at a dose of 500-1050 mg daily for up to 1 month, Muira Puama is possibly safe. However, there isn’t enough reliable information to know if it is safe to use for more than 1 month or what the side effects might be. Reported side effects are mild and include sour stomach and headaches.
