American Ginseng (root) - A 2002 study by the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine (published in the annals of the New York Academy of Sciences) found that in laboratory animals, both Asian and American forms of ginseng enhance libido  and copulatory performance. These effects of ginseng may not be due to changes in hormone secretion, but to direct effects of ginseng, or its ginsenoside components, on the central nervous system and gonadal tissues.[16][17] In males, ginsenosides can facilitate penile erection.[18] This is consistent with traditional Chinese medicine and Korean medicine medicinal uses of ginseng.Ginseng is known to contain phytoestrogens. In some studies, Ginseng has been demonstrated to have a stimulating effect on the pituitary gland to increase the secretion of gonadotropins. Another study found that in young mice, it speeds up the development of reproductive organs while in adult male mice, it stimulates the production of sperm, and lenghtens the estrus period in female mice.
