Researchers have succeeded in separating each of the ginsenoside components of Panax ginseng. One of these compounds was found to be responsible for assisting penile erection by directly inducing the vasodilatation and relaxation of corpus cavernosum.
Cordyceps sinensis
Cordyceps could be the next ginseng due to its reported effects on increasing energy levels, sex drive and athletic performance (you may remember mention of cordyceps a few years ago when Chinese athletes came from nowhere to break world records in swimming and running). In Asian herbal medicine, cordyceps is famous as an aphrodisiac. It is believed to alleviate fatigue, and improve physical endurance, enhance libido, and restore sexual function.
