QPASSION
DOESN’T COME
IN PILL FORM!A Maybe ... but probably
not. The libido-booster du
jour is maca root, available at
health-food stores. It comes
from a Peruvian plant and is
full of amino acids, minerals,
and B vitamins. Some swear
it boosts sexual desire and
stamina. If you want to try it,
adding some maca powder
to your breakfast smoothie
can’t hurt. But don’t bank
your next bang on it – or
any other supplement for
that matter, says Jennifer
Caudle, an associate professor
at Rowan University School
of Osteopathic Medicine.
‘There is no magic pill,’
she adds. ‘The best way
to get turned on is the good
old-fashioned way – through
intimacy and connection
with your partner.’ Taking
some time to learn what
sets your and your partner’s
sex drive on fire? That’s good
advice to swallow. ■LOVE LUST
