CLINICAL RESEARCH
The results of a clinical study on a nutritional supplement expressly formulated for women
(ArginMax®
for Women) were presented at the Ninth Annual Congress on Women's Health &
Gender-Based Medicine in Washington, D.C. The study indicated significant improvement in
women's sexual desire and overall satisfaction, according to the co- author, Mary Lake
Polan, MD, PhD, MPH, Professor and Chair, Department Of Gynecology/Obstetrics, Stanford
University School of Medicine. The study results was published in the May/June issue of
the peer-reviewed, "Journal of Women's Health and Gender-Based Medicine".
Sexual health encompasses both sexual desire and physiological response. A landmark study
(JAMA, 1999) assessed the prevalence of sexual issues across various social and age
groups. The study reported that there are many unaddressed sexual health issues among
women than previously believed. Yet relatively little attention has been given to research
in this area.
In this double-blind placebo-controlled study, 93 women, ages 22-73, enrolled as
participants lacking in sexual desire. Of the 93 women involved, 46 received a nutritional
supplement and 47 received a placebo. The participants used the Female Sexual Function
Index questionnaire to rate their level of sexual health before starting the study and
after taking either a placebo or the supplement.
At the end of four weeks, 62 percent of the active group reported significantly improved
satisfaction with their overall sex life, compared to 38 percent in the placebo group
(p<0.01)
In the active group, 64 percent reported an improvement in their level of sexual desire,
compared to 43 percent in the placebo group. A sub-group of peri-menopausal women also
showed similar improvements.
The nutritional supplement used in the study is a patent-pending formula that contains
L-arginine, ginseng, ginkgo, damiana, and 14 other vitamins and minerals. L-arginine is an
essential amino acid reported to play an important role in sexual health. Ginseng, ginkgo
and the other ingredients have a long history of use. "There are a lot of herbal
ingredients that are marketed for sexual health, but to our knowledge, this is the only
nutritional supplement for women that is supported by any clinical testing,"
according to Dr. Polan.
