Cream, add drugs, such as sildenafil, to the mix. Like the tadalafil in the Libido Lift Rx pill mentioned above, the sildenafil in these two prescription topicals is off-label, but a small study from 2020 found that women who used sildenafil cream reported “clinically significant increases” in arousal versus the results from no cream and placebo cream.9 At the time of this writing, the closest thing to an “instant” female arousal pill is Cake Meds’ Libido Lift Rx, which is a dissolvable prescription tablet containing tadalafil that should work in about 30 minutes and may be effective for up to 36 hours.67 Otherwise, pills tend to take the longest to start working (anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month or so). The FDA-approved pill, Addyi, and OTC supplements have the potential to promote the longest-lasting benefits, however, as they build up and continue to be in your system.

Where the Magic Happens

Its VitaFLUX supplement is available for men and women (both are the exact same except for label color), but in this guide, we'll focus on what this supplement might do for those with female anatomy. Promescent claims VitaFLUX for Women may help: Aid in faster recovery from injury or exhaustion We’ll investigate the validity of these claims next, but it seems like Promescent intends for VitaFLUX to boost both sexual and overall wellness. This is similar to how Leading Edge Health — the company behind HerSolution — markets its female libido supplements. Before delving into the supplement’s potential efficacy, let’s first take a quick look at the active ingredients in VitaFLUX, which include: Though it has more of them, VitaFLUX isn’t the only product in this guide to use amino acids to support sexual health. For example, both Jolt Gel (a topical) and Hello Cake’s Drive For Her (a supplement) also contain L-arginine.

About the pre-fulfillment prescription period.

Now, let’s break down how (or if) these ingredients can potentially provide the viagra tablet sex benefits suggested by Promescent. A systematic review of research studies suggests that L-arginine (along with L-citrulline) can result in greater sexual arousal and satisfaction for pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal women who have HSDD or a related concern. The effective daily dosages that led to promising results within the examined studies were similar to the arginine dose delivered daily by VitaFLUX.10 These positive results are likely due to the fact that L-arginine is a precursor of nitric oxide (NO), which promotes better blood flow throughout the body (including to the genitals). Nitric oxide is also believed to play a major role in the smooth muscle relaxation of sexual arousal.14 Additionally, the increase in blood circulation from nitric oxide’s vasodilation properties can reduce vaginal dryness, as vaginal lubrication is actually ultra-filtered blood.19 L-Citrulline is partially converted to L-arginine, which is then converted to nitric oxide, meaning that this amino acid can also promote NO production.10 Research on L-citrulline for sexual dysfunction usually involves it being used with L-arginine, and most of the research on L-citrulline alone involves men. For example, one study found that 1.5g (1,500mg) of L-citrulline appears to be a safe and effective alternative treatment for mild to moderate erectile dysfunction.20 However, since researchers note that this outcome is likely due to increased NO production, it can be assumed that women may also experience similar benefits from L-citrulline. Cream and Jolt Gel, or the prescription injection, Vyleesi, could be good alternatives. These also all work within the hour, but the effects only last a short amount of time. Topicals can be effective for around 20-60 minutes, and Vyleesi content in the body peaks at around one hour before falling again.57 Even with combining Addyi and Vyleesi, there don’t appear to be any known risks of mixing these two approaches together at the time of this writing.

L-Carnitine is an amino acid that plays a critical role in energy production — it transports fatty acids to the mitochondria (that “powerhouse of the cell” you likely heard about in science class) to be turned into a form of energy called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).21 This amino acid also shows the potential to improve exercise performance while reducing oxidative stress in response to resistance training.22 This could be why Promescent states that VitaFLUX may be able to help you recover more quickly from injury or exhaustion. And, while there isn’t much research on L-carnitine and sexual function, one study on lambs found that “a disruption in carnitine homeostasis” led to a reduction in bioavailable NO. In this study, maintaining carnitine homeostasis kept ATP levels adequate, which also appeared to have a positive effect on preserving Hsp90 activity. This “molecular chaperone” can help support hormone signaling pathways (such as those for estrogen and testosterone).23 The research on magnesium and sexual function is sparse, but there is definitely some potential for it to be a beneficial addition. One study on the magnesium levels of men reporting premature ejaculation (PE) found that lower levels were “significantly related” to the condition.24 However, more research is needed on the relationship between magnesium and PE. A separate study on the role magnesium plays in hypertension and cardiovascular disease has information that’s actually more closely related to the potential benefits for female sexual dysfunction than the other study.

• A healthy, balanced diet supports overall health, including hormonal balance.
• Regular physical exercise improves blood circulation, mood, and body image.
• Adequate sleep is crucial for regulating hormones that influence sexual desire.
• Stress management techniques (yoga, meditation) can reduce a major libido killer.
• Reducing alcohol consumption can improve sexual response and overall health.
• Quitting smoking improves blood flow to sexual organs and overall vitality.
• Open communication with a partner is fundamental for a healthy sexual relationship.

Researchers note that the mineral mimics the effects of a calcium channel blocker — a drug for lowering blood pressure that allows “blood vessels to relax and open.” This results in increased nitric oxide production and improved blood flow, similar to the amino acids in the VitaFLUX formula.25 26 A study from 2021 found that zinc supplementation for postmenopausal women whose serum zinc levels were low resulted in dramatic improvements in desire for sex and sexual pleasure; vaginal lubrication improved, while pain diminished.

If this supplement is right for you and your body, you’ll likely start to see some improvements after around a month or so. If there are no noticeable changes whatsoever after your first bottle is gone (30 days of use), then it may be time to try something else.

If there are no noticeable changes whatsoever after your first bottle is gone (30 days of use), then it may be time to try something else. The ingredients in VitaFLUX fall well below established tolerable upper limits, so the product should generally be safe for most healthy adults. Side effects of amino acids at the doses present in this supplement are more likely to be mild and may include gastrointestinal upset (like nausea and diarrhea).61 However, we always recommend speaking with your doctor before trying a new supplement to make sure it’s a safe choice for you. The list below details some particular instances where VitaFLUX may not be pink viagra ideal: Taking L-arginine could trigger a herpes flare-up (both HSV-1 and HSV-2).3 L-carnitine can possibly interact with some medications: doxorubicin, thyroid hormones, and blood thinners.4 Due to nitric oxide's vasodilating effects, this product might not be safe for people taking certain medications, such as those for blood pressure.63 Zinc may interact with antibiotics, penicillamine, and thiazide diuretics.29 Although the zinc content is far below the tolerable upper limit for adults (40mg daily), be careful not to over-supplement if you take another supplement containing zinc. Exceeding the upper limit of zinc for an extended period of time is unsafe and could lead to a deficit of copper in your body, among other things.30 Also, individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid taking VitaFLUX.
