Natural dietary supplement and method for enhancing human libido

摘要

A dietary supplement includes resveratrol in a therapeutically effective amount to permit release of nitric oxide (NO) during sexual stimulation and at least one polyphenol in a therapeutically effective amount to inhibit formation of type 5 phosphodiesterase (PDE-5). The dietary supplement is a dry powder derived from Muscadine grapes that are pressed and then stored at a temperature greater than 32° F. (0° C.) and less than 60° F. (15° C.) for at least 14 days. The pressed and stored grapes are dried and then ground into the dry powder. The concentration of the resveratrol is between 0.01 mg and 100 mg per 100 g of dry powder and the concentration of the polyphenol is between 0.04 mg and 400 mg per 100 g. A method for enhancing human libido includes providing the dry powder and consuming at least 50 mg of the dry powder daily for a period of at least 21 days.
