Foods that support your libido - what are your foods of choice?
Apr 9 2025 07:33PM more by Flowers4u
Tags: Random

I realize recently after a health set back- and as I get older my body does not recover as fast so I decided while healing up to explore some foods that would enhance my body and my libido

Mangos have been a running joke on the blogs however there seems to be some actual support for mangos as a libido enhancement food source

So the next couple months I am on a mango diet for selfish reasons- lol- what are your thoughts on foods that enhance your libido?

Did a ChatGPT-got this feedback on mangos - who knew?

What nutrients are useful for male libido in mangos?


On a mango diet for the rest of the month son-- join me-- father & son team up
Mangos contain several nutrients that can support male libido and overall sexual health, either directly or indirectly. Her is a breakdown of the most relevant ones:

1. Vitamin E
â- Known as the a sex vitamin because it helps regulate sex hormones and improve sperm quality.
b- It also boosts blood flow, which is crucial for libido and erectile function.

2. Vitamin C
c- Supports blood circulation and reduces oxidative stress, both of which can benefit sexual health.
d- It also plays a role in testosterone production and supports a healthy immune system.

3. Beta-Carotene (Vitamin A precursor)
â- Antioxidant that supports overall hormonal balance and reproductive health.
b- May help protect sperm from oxidative damage.

4. B Vitamins (especially B6 and folate)
a- Vitamin B6 helps regulate hormones and reduce stress, both important for libido.
b- Folate supports healthy sperm and red blood cell production, improving overall vitality.

5. Magnesium
â- Important for testosterone production and cardiovascular health.
b- Also aids in reducing anxiety and muscle tension, which can positively affect libido.

Bonus: Natural Sugars
â- Mangos contain natural sugars that give a quick energy boost, which can enhance stamina and mood.

Summary:

While mangos aret a magic bullet, including them in a balanced diet along with other libido-supporting foods (like nuts, dark chocolate, and leafy greens) can definitely help.

Want tips on combining mango with other libido-boosting ingredients?

Do mangos benefit womens libido as well?

ChatGPT reply regarding the ladies we love to get naughty with:

Yes, mangos can benefit womens libido too just like with men, the nutrients in mangos support key systems that influence sexual desire, hormone balance, and energy. Here is how:


1. Vitamin E
â- Helps regulate estrogen and progesterone levels.
b- Improves blood flow to reproductive organs, enhancing arousal.

2. Vitamin C
â- Supports adrenal function and stress management, which directly impacts libido.
b- Enhances circulation and collagen production -important for vaginal health.

3. Folate (B9)
â- Supports reproductive health, including hormone balance and fertility.
b- Important during menstrual cycles and in maintaining energy.

4. B6
a- Helps regulate mood by supporting neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin.
b- Balances hormones, especially during PMS or perimenopause.

5. Natural Sugars + Enzymes
â- Provide quick energy (without a crash) and improve digestion, which affects overall vitality.
b- Enzymes like amylase aid gut health, which is tied to hormonal health.

Bonus: Mood + Libido Connection

Mangos taste great and boost dopamine thanks to their natural sweetness and nutrient content this feel-good effect can lift mood, lower stress, and increase libido indirectly but meaningfully.

I've taken vitamins every day for YEARS !

Supplying your body with something extra that helps is always a good idea.

I've been taking Tumeric and Ginger shots for awhile now, really great for inflammation and great for your skin.

Unnecessary vitamins can be bad for your health. If I remember correctly too much vitamin D is bad for your kidneys. B6 is also bad to take if you don’t need it. It’s always better to get your vitamins from the foods you eat than from supplements or pills. Look at the studies on the effects of multivitamins. My doctor doesn’t recommend multivitamins in most cases.

@Scantron ... Yeah you have a great doctor !!

Multivitamin 's are a definite waste of money !!

& Of course too much vitamin D is bad unless you never get out in the sun.

A lot of people are busy with work and such, eating healthy isn't as advantages as we'd like it to be, so vitamins can supplement what you're not getting from your food.

I'm not sure but it seems like you can never get too much vitamin C & A

Magnesium is great too, glucosamine for the joints, also collagen for joints and as skin.

Seems the Mushroom craz is here. Got some Honey Bee from Health Ranger, seems to work good, has Spirallena in it too. But I've been taking Sun Chlorella and only the Sun brand for some 25 years now. Both help to keep me regular.

My new doc put me on D3 and D2 last year. I'd a thought being able to drink milk the D wouldn't be a problem. A lot of seniors passed from D deficiencies early on with Covid.
And most of us have a Magnesium deficiency. I have to take at least 800+ mg's or ill wake up with a leg cramp.

I'm surprised that zinc hasn't been mentioned. It's the reason why oysters are known to enhance libido.

Low testosterone and clogged arteries are root causes of ED as guys get older.


The following is a more complete ChatGBT recommendation on enhancing male libido:


Libido is influenced by a mix of hormonal, physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors, and certain vitamins and supplements can help support healthy male libido by optimizing testosterone levels, blood flow, mood, and energy. Here’s a breakdown of the most effective ones, backed by research:



Top Vitamins for Male Libido

These are essential nutrients that support hormone production, circulation, and energy:

1. Vitamin D
• Why: Crucial for testosterone production.
• Low levels are strongly linked to low libido and erectile dysfunction.
• Dose: 2,000–5,000 IU daily (ideally tested by bloodwork first).

2. Vitamin B Complex (esp. B6, B12, and Folate)
• Why: Supports energy, mood, and neurotransmitter function.
• B6 regulates prolactin (which can suppress libido if too high).
• B12 improves energy and nerve health.

3. Vitamin E
• Why: A potent antioxidant that supports blood flow and protects testosterone from oxidative damage.



Key Supplements for Libido & Testosterone

These aren’t vitamins, but they’re powerhouses when it comes to male sexual health:

1. Zinc
• Why: Critical for testosterone production, sperm health, and libido.
• Dose: 15–30 mg/day (don’t go too high without medical supervision).

2. Magnesium
• Why: Supports free testosterone levels and muscle relaxation.
• Also improves sleep, which is key for libido.
• Best forms: Magnesium glycinate or citrate.

3. L-Citrulline or L-Arginine
• Why: Boosts nitric oxide → better blood flow → improved erections.
• Citrulline is often better tolerated and more effective.

4. Ashwagandha
• Why: Adaptogen that reduces cortisol (stress hormone that crushes libido).
• Also shown to boost testosterone levels in men under stress.

5. Fenugreek
• Why: Known to support libido, testosterone, and exercise performance.
• Standardized extracts (like Testofen) have solid human data.

6. Maca Root
• Why: Traditionally used to increase desire and energy, though not directly linked to testosterone.
• Popular for libido enhancement, especially in older men.



Bonus Tips
• Omega-3s (e.g., fish oil): Improve cardiovascular health and hormone production.
• DHEA: Can be helpful in older men, but should be monitored.
• Avoid excess alcohol, sugar, and stress, as they suppress libido.



Tips to Maximize Effectiveness
• Sleep: Aim for 7–8 hours nightly. Testosterone peaks during deep sleep.
• Exercise: Resistance training + HIIT can help boost testosterone naturally.
• Stress management: Chronic stress = high cortisol = suppressed libido.
• Limit alcohol: Especially beer—it increases estrogen in men.
