Focus: The scientific application of natural active ingredients such as Tongo Ali, Horny Goat Weed, and Maca to sexual health and metabolic regulation.
Core Focus:
Men: Use a combination of Tongo Ali (an energizing factor) + Maca (an energy reserve) to improve low energy and fluctuating libido.
Women: Use a combination of Horny Goat Weed (a gentle regulator) + Maca (a nutritional synergist) to alleviate low libido and hormonal imbalances.
Stressed/Middle-Aged Adults: This triple-ingredient synergy supports metabolism, physical strength, and intimacy.
Product Concept:
Based on traditional applications and modern research (e.g., Tongo Ali promotes testosterone-enhancing enzyme activity, and icariin provides gentle regulation), we preserve core active ingredients and eschew conceptual packaging—using natural ingredients to address specific needs.
Simply put: I'm a nutritionist who understands "herbal actives." I use scientifically proven ingredients like Tongo Ali, Epimedium, and Maca to help you make "sexual health" and "nutritional support" a daily routine.
