Health Benefits Summary
Passion Plus for Women is a sensual, adaptogen-forward formula designed to enhance female libido, arousal, and overall sexual satisfaction while supporting natural lubrication, hormonal balance, and healthy blood flow to the reproductive organs. Synergistic botanicals help moderate stress hormones, stabilise mood and emotional confidence, and improve nitric oxide signalling and pelvic microcirculation, contributing to a more pleasurable and fulfilling intimate experience. By pairing energy-stabilising adaptogens with traditionally aphrodisiac botanicals and bioavailability support, this blend promotes pleasure, comfort, and connection, making it ideal for women who wish to awaken their sensual energy and restore balance naturally.
Detailed Health Benefits
• Libido & Sexual Desire
How it Helps: Encourages interest, responsiveness, and satisfaction for a fulfilling intimate experience.
How it Works: Adaptogens help reduce stress-related inhibition (HPA-axis modulation), while aphrodisiac phytochemicals and steroidal saponins support sex-hormone signalling and central arousal pathways.
• Arousal & Pelvic Blood Flow
How it Helps: Promotes warmth, sensitivity, engorgement, and ease of arousal.
How it Works: Icariin-type prenylflavonoids and vasoactive compounds support endothelial nitric oxide signalling and smooth muscle relaxation, aiding microcirculation to pelvic tissues.
• Natural Lubrication & Comfort
How it Helps: Supports comfortable intimacy and reduces friction-related irritation.
How it Works: Stress-buffering adaptogens and pelvic-trophic herbs help maintain arousal-related fluid balance; mucosal-supportive botanicals assist in keeping local tissue tone and comfort.
• Hormonal Harmony & Cycle-Linked Mood
How it Helps: Smooths cyclical ups/downs that can dampen desire and energy.
How it Works: Phytochemicals modulate cortisol, neurotransmitters, and gonadal hormone signalling, supporting balanced mood, energy, and cycle-related comfort.
• Energy, Confidence & Stress Resilience
How it Helps: Lifts fatigue and performance anxiety that can blunt libido.
How it Works: Adaptogens support mitochondrial efficiency and catecholamine balance; nootropic-like effects promote calm focus and emotional confidence.
Key Ingredients – Evidence-Based Actions
• Maca (Lepidium meyenii)
How it Helps: Traditionally enhances desire and energy; supportive in stress- or medication-related low libido.
Why it Works: Macamides/macarenes may act centrally (hypothalamic–pituitary signalling; endocannabinoid tone) and support mitochondrial stamina.
Research:
– Double-blind RCT in women with antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4411442/
– ClinicalTrials.gov record (women with AISD): https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT00181961
• Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
How it Helps: Reduces stress-linked libido suppression; improves desire, arousal, and satisfaction in some women.
Why it Works: Withanolides modulate the HPA-axis/cortisol and GABAergic tone, potentially normalising androgens within a physiological range.
Research:
– RCT in healthy females—improved sexual function scores: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36447681/
– Double-blind RCT (high-concentration extract) with sexual-function endpoints: https://2024.sci-hub.box/6961/01008d0ac71673db5e466585cede91a9/dongre2015.pdf
• Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris)
How it Helps: Supports desire/arousal in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).
Why it Works: Protodioscin-rich saponins may influence central dopaminergic tone and free/bioavailable testosterone within normal limits.
Research:
– RCT in premenopausal women with HSDD: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29172782/
– Randomised double-blind trial/review context: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4045980/
• Epimedium / Yin Yang Huo (Epimedium spp.)
How it Helps: Promotes arousal and pelvic blood flow; has a long-standing traditional use as an aphrodisiac.
Why it Works: Icariin shows PDE-5–inhibiting and NO-enhancing actions that are mechanistically relevant to genital engorgement and arousal; direct women-only libido RCTs remain limited, with most evidence mechanistic or indirect.

– Pharmacognosy review of female aphrodisiacs, noting evidence gaps and claims: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378874119322469
• Muira puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides)
How it Helps: Traditional Amazonian aphrodisiac supports desire, responsiveness, and orgasmic function.
Why it Works: Lignans/alkaloids may influence noradrenergic/dopaminergic tone; modern data mainly from combination formulas.
Research:
– Open-label clinical study in women (Muira puama + Ginkgo): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11186145/
– Review of natural options for female sexual dysfunction (context): https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.focus.20170049
• Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea)
How it Helps: Lifts fatigue and performance anxiety that can blunt libido; supports mood and stress resilience (indirect sexual benefits).
Why it Works: Salidroside/rosavin modulates the HPA axis and monoamines, improving perceived energy and stress handling.
Research:

– Overview/hypothesis on menopause & libido (observational; more RCTs needed): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0944711315003682
• Cordyceps (C. militaris / C. sinensis)
How it Helps: Sustains energy and exercise capacity that underpin sexual vitality (indirect support).
Why it Works: Cordycepin/adenosine derivatives may enhance endothelial function and ATP availability, supporting stamina and arousal readiness.

• Black Pepper (Piper nigrum; piperine)
How it Helps: Enhances absorption of co-actives; may modestly aid thermogenesis and circulation.
Why it Works: Piperine inhibits intestinal/hepatic enzymes, as well as P-gp transporters, thereby increasing the bioavailability of co-ingredients.
Research:
– Double-blind clinical study: piperine increased plasma CoQ10 bioavailability: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10715596/
– Systematic review of piperine as a bioavailability enhancer: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/370157496_A_Systematic_Review_of_Piperine_as_a_Bioavailability_Enhancer
• Red Raspberry Leaves (Rubus idaeus)
How it Helps: Supports womb (uterine) tone, cycle comfort, and pelvic tissue resilience—foundational factors that can ease discomfort, improve confidence, and positively influence desire and sexual satisfaction.
Why it Works: Astringent tannins and the alkaloid fragrine are traditionally used to tone uterine smooth muscle and support pelvic tissues; antioxidant polyphenols may aid local tissue comfort and recovery—indirectly supporting a more comfortable, pleasurable sexual experience.
