libido enhancer and to treat various sexual dysfunctions. In Southeast Asia it is used
as a post partum medication, as well as for its anticancer, antimalarial, antipyretic,
antiulcer, cytotoxic and aphrodisiac properties. Its anabolic, androgenic properties
improve muscle size and strength and enhance sports performance. Since the body’s
natural testosterone promotes protein synthesis and positive nitrogen balance,
the benefits for training and workout, are muscle cell growth and increased body
strength as well as faster recuperation and recovery from muscular stress.

oxygenator and taken to stimulate appetite and circulation, increase estrogen
production, balance blood sugar levels, enhance the immune system, strengthen
the muscular system, and enhance memory. It supports hormonal balance, reduces
inflammation, inhibits cancer and leukemia cells, enhances immunity and raises

erections, however it is equivalent to 20 cups of coffee so it will trash your nerves.
