Optimal nutrient status is essential for libido, energy, and overall healthy aging.
When key nutrients are deficient, hormone production, vascular function, and neurotransmitter activity — all crucial for sexual wellness — can be compromised.
Top nutrients that support libido:
✅ Zinc: critical for testosterone synthesis and sexual function in both men and women
✅ Vitamin D: supports hormone production and mood → key for libido
✅ B vitamins (B6, B12, folate): support neurotransmitter synthesis and energy metabolism → influence desire and arousal
✅ Magnesium: helps regulate cortisol and supports nervous system relaxation → enhances sexual responsiveness
✅ Omega-3 fatty acids: promote blood flow and reduce inflammation → support sexual function and skin health
✅ Iron: supports oxygen transport and energy → prevents fatigue-driven libido decline
Signs nutrient deficiencies may be affecting libido:
✅ Loss of interest in intimacy
✅ Fatigue and mood shifts
✅ Brain fog and low motivation
✅ Skin dryness and decreased lubrication
✅ Hair thinning and poor circulation
How to address deficiencies to support libido and aging:
✅ Assess nutrient status through individualized testing
✅ Personalize nutrition to optimize intake of key libido-supportive nutrients
✅ Support gut health → essential for nutrient absorption
✅ Address blood sugar balance → improves nutrient transport and hormone metabolism
✅ Manage stress and promote restorative sleep → supports optimal nutrient utilization
