Ashwagandha is a small evergreen shrub native to parts of India, Africa and the Middle East that contains withanolides - compounds with antioxidant properties - used in herbal medicine for stress and anxiety relief, sleep problems, male fertility issues and athletic performance enhancement. Furthermore, it can have anti-inflammatory effects, reduce fluid retention and back pain relief as well as possibly offering anti-ageing properties.

It's thought to help cultivate calmness while decreasing anxiety or depression and even increasing irritability; plus it boasts aphrodisiac properties to potentially increase sexual desire.


Multiple double-blind, placebo-controlled studies -- considered the gold standard in scientific research -- demonstrate how ashwagandha may enhance certain cognitive functions. Participants in such studies were randomly assigned either the active ingredient or placebo to take; neither the researchers nor participants knew which group received which drug or supplement, helping prevent bias from taking place.


Maca root:


Maca root, native to Central America, has long been utilized by women and men for its fertility-enhancing properties. While often sold as a libido enhancer, research demonstrates its other health and hormone-regulating benefits for unani herbal products online.


A small clinical study showed how taking maca for four months improved semen production while animal studies have demonstrated its capacity to boost sperm counts and motility as well as increase testosterone production.


Maca can be purchased as either a powder or capsule and can be found at many natural food stores. It should only be consumed under medical supervision; its consumption may interfere with thyroid hormone levels or interfere with medications taken for thyroid conditions. Furthermore, maca should also not be taken if you suffer from estrogen-sensitive conditions like uterine fibroids or endometriosis as this could interfere with estrogen regulation processes in your body.


Coenzyme Q10:


Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10O) is an antioxidative compound naturally present in cell membranes and lipoproteins. With the ability to accept or donate electrons, this ubiquinol form acts as the principal fat-soluble antioxidant protecting membranes from oxidative damage while stimulating certain proteins' synthesis such as cholesterol or creatine kinase production.


Studies have suggested that CoQ10 may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease; however, more research must be conducted to confirm this impact. It has also been used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure with mixed results; one large study concluded that CoQ10 didn't decrease systolic pressure but did lower diastolic pressure levels significantly for people living with chronic heart failure.


Additionally, it has been researched as a treatment for cancer, gum disease, muscular dystrophy and hepatitis C infection. Furthermore, as an antioxidant it may help strengthen immune function while simultaneously mitigating damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs for cancer therapy.

Lycopene:


Lycopene is an antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress, which can adversely impact sperm production. According to research conducted on double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, over 40% of male infertility is caused by this kind of damage to sperm cells.


One double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted by Future You Cambridge revealed that taking 14 mg lacto lycopene or its placebo for 12 weeks helped increase motile sperm counts, DNA fragmentation rates and fast/slow ratios significantly. Participants took either lacto lycopene from Future You Cambridge or its placebo counterpart during their 12 week-long study.


Lycopene is one of the most effective singlet oxygen quenchers among carotenoids, providing powerful singlet oxygen quenching capabilities while acting as an anti-inflammatory and improving the blood-spinal cord barrier in people living with spinal cord injuries.
