A Message About Intimacy and Health…from Dr. Mark Crapo

Love is not just something we find enjoyable but it turns  out it is actually essential to many of us for a long and healthy life. Studies have shown that having sex twice a week can reduce your risk of getting a cold or flu by 50%.  People who have sex on a regular basis live 6 years longer than those who don't. Being loved, touched, wanted, strengthens our immune system and releases beta-endorphins which elevate mood and fight pain. While we certainly shouldn't base any relationship on sex alone, a good relationship usually  includes good sex. When that good sex goes bad, it can affect other areas of the relationship and other, or even all, areas of your life.

This is why Symmetry has developed Aphrodisia 136.

This formula is designed to supply the body with the precursors (like Arginine) needed by your body to make and release nitric oxide. This substance is used by the body to relax the smooth muscles and promote blood flow, and is vital to proper heart function. Just as in the now popular sex drug (I’m taking about the little blue pills), this can cause an increased blood flow to the penis resulting in an erection. However, the drug  doesn’t supply the precursors to cause nitric oxide production - instead it takes nitric oxide from the heart, which may explain  why about 1,500 American men died of  heart attacks last year  while using those little blue pills. While people taking our formula have reported increased heart functioning! 

Aphrodisia 136 also goes the drug one better in terms of  desire. Libido or sexual arousal is partly (and maybe much more) controlled by hormones and, while the drug doesn’t impact this at all, we supply the basic hormones to bring  balance back into the body. This is why we recommend using Aphrodisia 136 for a period of a week to ten days. During this “load phase” the arginine and nitric oxide levels, along with the hormone levels themselves, can be boosted back to optimal levels. For most people, take one pill in the morning and one in the evening but those with long standing problems may want to double this. After the “load phase” use the formula only on days you have romance in mind! 

If you didn’t know it… this formula is also for women. It improves blood flow to the sexual organs thereby causing excitement, and enhancing stimulation and pleasure.

Please note:

Recent research has shown that not only is arginine useful for its sexual potential, but also for helping a host of other problems, many of them based on its ability to increase blood  flow and hence relieve pain and muscle spasms. This means it’s very good for muscle cramps, back pain, Raynaud’s syndrome and even chronic fatigue syndrome, and may support the ability to speed healing in general.

To further support the joys of intimacy, Symmetry also has Aphrodisia Stimugel.

This formula was designed specifically for women. It is applied directly “to the area in question”. It is intended to be a sexual lubricant on its own. However, its main function is to increase circulation to the woman’s genitalia and enhance her own natural lubrication as well as pleasure. This formula should cause a pleasant warming of the area, perhaps even a tingling sensation.*

Stimugel also contains the “mother” hormone to boost sexual arousal and perhaps even to return thinned vaginal tissue to youthful elasticity. This is particularly useful for women over 40.

No “load phase” is required for StimuGel use - use as desired. 

* Stimugel is safe for use with condoms.
