Do sexual enhancement supplements work for men or women? Certain supplement ingredients may help treat erectile dysfunction in men. Some ingredients and formulas may also increase libido (sexual drive) in men and women, although the evidence for this is limited.
 
The next question is, which supplements for sexual enhancement actually provide ingredients that might work, at the right dosage, and without contaminants or illegally added drugs? To help answer this question, ConsumerLab.com purchased a variety of supplements intended for sexual enhancement containing popular ingredients such as yohimbe, epimedium (horny goat weed), and L-arginine.
 
Among the ten selected products, only three passed quality tests. Four contained less of a key ingredient than claimed on the label, one was contaminated with an unacceptable level of lead, and two products lacked FDA-required information on their labeling. None of the products, however, was "spiked" with drugs for erectile dysfunction.

You must join to get the full test results for sexual enhancement supplements along with ConsumerLab.com recommendations and quality ratings. You will get results for ten supplements selected by ConsumerLab.com and for one other that passed Voluntary Certification Testing.

  • Dosage shown to work in clinical studies of natural sexual enhancement ingredients
  • Concerns, cautions, and potential drug interactions for yohimbe, horny goat weed, and L-arginine.

Latest Clinical Research Updates for Sexual Enhancers

Be Careful with Yohimbe

Yohimbe is a common ingredient in certain supplements for men but can be dangerous, as evidenced by recent report. Get the details in the Concerns and Cautions section of the Review.

Inaccurate Yohimbe Labels

Yohimbe supplements contain an active compound, yohimbine, which is an old drug for erectile dysfunction. A recent study found that most yohimbe supplements don't list the amount of yohimbine they contain, and those that do are typically inaccurate — similar to what ConsumerLab.com has found. For more about the study as well as our own tests of products, see the Sexual Enhancement Supplements Review >>
