Ashvagandha (Withania somnifera /Winter cherry /Indian ginseng)

Popularly known as ‘Indian Ginseng’ because of its known use as an aphrodisiac, Ashvagandha has been used for thousands of years as a ‘brain herb’ for male potency. Laboratory studies with mice found that ashvagandha reconnects the circuits in the brain that have been broken by stress. In men, the pathways that ‘put the brakes’ on ejaculation can become ‘broken’ by stress. Repairing ‘broken circuits’ is theoretically one of the ways ashvagandha helps restore male potency. Ashvagandha is also reported to support greater control over the timing of climax. Other lab studies have found that ashvagandha reduces anxiety and relieves depression.

Safed Musali  (Asparagus adscendens / Shweta musali)

This herb is used as a potent aphrodisiac since time immortal. The references date back to 11th century AD in our country in many classic Ayurvedic texts as well as Unani medicines. Ayurveda classifies this herb as Urjaskara (health restorative and promotive). In modern scientific terms, it enhances the status of homeostasis and helps cure disease because of its rasayana and balya properties. ‘Rasayana’ means rejunivative herb safe for long term use and balya means one which provides energy and power. Known benefits of Safed Musali are: • Supports homeostasis, improves access to energy stores at cellular level, helps improve stamina and resistance to stress. • Known to help cure sexual inadequacies like oligospermia, lack of libido and general debility. • Assists hormone control system. • Helps reduce recovery time. • Known to help improve qualitative and quantitative semen counts.

Mucuna pruriens (Kavachbeej /Atmagupta / Velvet bean / Cowhage)

Mucuna pruriens, known in Ayurvedic texts as kavachbeej, was traditionally added to aphrodisiac formulas to increase feelings of manliness and satisfaction. There are some reports in the Indian medical literature that this herb increases production of testosterone. Scientists generally agree that this herb is a natural source of L-dopamine, the brain chemical associated with feelings of pleasure. Ace, of course, has the optimal amount of kavachbeej to support potency.

Tribulus terrestris (Golshoora or gokhru /Gokshoor / Caltrops / Tribulus)

Tribulus terrestris, also known as Gokhru, is a well-known aphrodisiac and has been traditionally used to increase sex drive. Recent studies have found that it increases the receptivity of the brain to the body's existing testosterone, suggesting that it could increase male potency in humans without the need of artificial testosterone patches or shots. Extracts of Tribulus terrestris may also have an erection-strengthening effect; studies found that extracts of this herb stimulate nerve endings in the penis to release nitric oxide, allowing blood to flow in for an erection.

Crocus sativus (Keshara/Saffron /Kumkum)

Keshara is also known as Saffron. Keshara, the tiny stamen collected from the flowers of the autumn crocus (Crocus sativus), is a traditional remedy for anxiety and nervousness, and is reported to increase sex drive. It is also known to improve sensation at nerve ends.

Shilajit (Shila)

Shilajit is a vegetable organic matter collected in the Himalayas, and is also traditionally used for soothing the nerves and stimulating sex drive. Both are included in small amounts in Ace on the basis of their acceptance in traditional Ayurveda.

A lot of factors can be instrumental in reducing male potency. Drug and alcohol abuse are leading causes of diminished sex drive. Hyper tension, high levels of stress and anxiety, working long hours or night shifts, consumption of fast foods, raw foods, or undercooked or stale foods, high intake of caffeine also contribute in diminishing a person’s sexual performance and male energy. Excessive riding of bikes, pollution, and constant exposure to gadgets like cell phones/computers/electromagnetic/radio waves may also affect male potency. Male potency can also be affected by toxicity (toxicity refers to the degree to which a toxin can damage an exposed organism. It can be the effect on the whole organism, as well as an effect on an individual organ or cell. ) Inactivity is another cause for diminished sexual urges.

Symptoms of Diminished Male Potency
Today’s fast paced and hectic lifestyles affect our health on various levels. Stress levels have an adverse effect on male energy and sexual performance. Reduction in sexual prowess can affect a man not just on a physical level but also on an emotional one. Depression, low levels of energy, lack of interest in physical intimacy, reduction in sexual urges are all indicators of a diminished male potency. These may eventually lead to a more serious condition like erectile dysfunction (ED).

Men can improve their energy levels by making some very simple changes in their lifestyle and habits. Proper nutrition can help repair male potency loss over a period of months. A good exercise regime will help rejuvenate the mind and body, resulting in higher energy levels and a refreshed brain. Our product ‘Ace’ is specially designed to increase male energy, enhance libido, reduce recovery time, improve sensation and desire, stimulate the brain’s responsiveness to pleasure and increase sex drive.

Ayurvedic medicine describes variations in male sexual energy in terms of the body’s basic energies; Vata (Vata is the catabolic principle regulating degeneration, movements and stimulation), Pitta (Pitta is the transforming principle and is warming in nature), and Kapha (Kapha is the anabolic principle and is cooling, fluid and solid in nature, giving stability). One does not have to understand the Ayurvedic terminology to learn some simple methods for improving energy levels by very simple changes in lifestyle. A proper diet will go a long way in repairing male potency loss over a period of months. Correcting constipation, if present, will also be beneficial. Massage anywhere on the body with sesame oil to which cooling oils (berry, citrus, or sorrel) have been added also has subtle benefits, especially just prior to intercourse. Diet should emphasize sweet and sour fruits (apples, berries, mangos and citrus) and juicy vegetables (such as cucumbers). Avoid hard cheese, colas, chocolate, and spicy foods. If changing the diet is out of question, massage alone will help a great deal, especially when enjoyed with your partner. When toxicity is the underlying problem, there are usually blushes, flushes, and irritated skin. Regular bathing with neem soap will help prepare the body for therapeutic massage. Sesame oil with essence of coconut and a tiny amount of honey is the ideal medium for massage to compensate for toxic exposure or systemic infection. For maximum potency, avoid hot tubs and steamy showers just prior to intercourse. Dietary choices should emphasize foods flavored with cooling spices, such as basil, cilantro, dill or fennel. Keep meat and dairy consumption to a minimum, and eat sticky sweet fruits (such as figs) for dessert. A mild liver cleanse, such as that obtained with our ‘Tritone’ liver support formula will also be beneficial. Male potency may also be influenced by inactivity. In this case, the whole body needs to be “heated up” for maximum potency. Men who don’t have time to work out benefit from lovemaking in a (literally) steamy environment. Massage anywhere on the body with warm oils will increase potency, as will steamy showers and soaks in a hot tub, but not just before intercourse. Sesame, canola, or mustard oil (not to be confused with a mustard plaster) are good choices. Regular exercises involving squeezing of the gluteal muscles (buttocks) will indirectly increase potency. Diet should emphasize corn, rice, and barley over wheat, oats, and rye, and meat and dairy should be eaten sparingly. Men who have this form of potency disturbance should not eat tofu.
