You’ll fill out a questionnaire about your current health status and lifestyle, and a licensed provider will review it and decide if Addyi sounds like a fit for you. Otherwise, if you prefer to order the prescription through a face-to-face appointment, you can contact Addyi for a list of prescribers. If the doctor you see prescribes the medication, you can pick it up at a local pharmacy or have it shipped to your home for free through Addyi’s partner pharmacy, PhilRx. The cost of the medication varies depending on insurance coverage. Some insurance plans offer Addyi for only $20 each month. savings program that guaranteed qualifying patients would

Is Addyi right for me?

(And the dose in this study was 750mg per day gel erectile dysfunction compared to the 150mg in HerSolution. Ginkgo biloba: Can influence nitric oxide production.38 Epimedium sagittatum: Might increase sexual desire in postmenopausal women by promoting estrogen biosynthesis.39 Cayenne pepper: Acts as a vasodilator and can promote the release of nitric oxide.40 Melatonin: May improve sexual function in postmenopausal women.41 You can purchase HerSolution directly from Leading Edge Health, on either the company’s website or the product’s dedicated site (both are legitimate). Buying more than a one-month supply also gets you a free tube of HerSolution Gel, which retails for $59 (we discuss the gel in more detail later on). Here’s how the cost of HerSolution breaks down: Depending on whether you purchase from Leading Edge Health or from the HerSolution website, the shipping costs will differ. You always need to pay for shipping from the former, but the latter only charges shipping if you purchase a 1-month supply; bulk orders ship free.

The different prices are noted in the lists below. USPS standard 7-14 day: $5.99 And because it can take a few weeks to see results, Leading Edge Health suggests trying the product for at least 60 days. If you’re not satisfied, you can take advantage of the company’s 67-day money-back guarantee. Promescent and Wisp, in comparison, also have set lengths for their guarantees but they don’t require you to wait any specific amount of time. Insider Tip: You’ll need to buy at least a 2-month supply of HerSolution to be eligible for the money-back guarantee.

Unfortunately, the company doesn’t make this well known, but the policy notes that all returns should have “two-opened containers” — meaning you purchased two and tried the product for 60 days. Of course, nothing is stopping you from trying it, stopping it if you don’t like it, and still sending in those empty containers for your money back after the 60 days are up. Mostly-botanical formula should be safe for sensitive skin Can be used as an arousal gel and personal lubricant L-arginine can trigger herpes flare-ups A separate product from the pill for low libido that bears the same name, HerSolution Gel may help with some of the physical issues associated with arousal. This water-based gel can be used to increase vaginal lubrication and promote physical arousal through the inclusion of L-arginine. The active ingredients in HerSolution Gel include: L-arginine, a precursor of nitric oxide, may help dilate blood vessels and stimulate blood flow.10 Aloe, shea, and cocoa butter can provide additional vaginal lubrication. The active ingredient in Addyi is the

This no-return policy isn’t that out of the ordinary; it’s similar to the policies of Wisp and Cake Meds for their topical arousal products. Should be generally safe for healthy adults when used as directed Several ingredients have research suggesting potential efficacy Company fails to mention inclusion of melatonin and potentially risky DHEA Unsafe for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding DHEA may interact with medications, worsen mental health, and raise risk of mania Money-back guarantee requires minimum purchase of 2-month supply Potential results take at least a few weeks to months HerSolution is a female libido support supplement from the wellness company Leading Edge Health. Like VitaFLUX, it’s intended to help women and AFAB individuals with sexual dysfunction symptoms, like vaginal dryness, difficulty achieving orgasm, and low sex drive. This one-pill, once-a-day supplement may be more appealing to some who don’t wish to take six VitaFLUX capsules. However, as with all of the supplements mentioned in this guide, the potential effects will take time to appear — anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months.

Unlike the other options in our top picks, there’s a strange lack of transparency with some of the ingredients in the HerSolution supplement. On the Leading Edge Health website, the company lists the “HerSolution formula” as: This formula is further described as “a blend of herbals, amino acids, aphrodisiacs, and sexual nutrients.” We’re not entirely sure what a “sexual nutrient” is, but we do know that while the formula is, indeed, herbals and some other botanical ingredients used as aphrodisiacs, there aren’t any amino acids in HerSolution. Niacin (or nicotinic acid) can come from an amino acid, tryptophan, but it isn’t one itself — and that’s the closest thing we could find.31 But that’s not where the transparency issue lies; the main problem we have with HerSolution is Leading Edge Health’s confusing decision not to mention that this supplement contains two synthetic hormones: melatonin (5mg) and DHEA (25mg). The former isn’t the worst addition in the world (it may cause daytime sleepiness and headaches), but the latter can have serious health consequences; DHEA is not studied nearly enough to be worth an inclusion without mention.32 The amount of DHEA in HerSolution falls under the “possibly safe” category if you use the supplement as directed, and the other ingredients are all generally safe (with some decent scientific backing for helping sexual dysfunction), but an ingredient that the Mayo Clinic suggests avoiding seems worth a section on the product page.5 6 To be clear, we’re not saying that you shouldn’t try HerSolution if it sounds like something you’re interested in — it very well may be the most helpful option for you, and you should discuss it with your doctor. We just want to properly inform you of the potential risks associated with the supplement since Leading Edge Health doesn’t try to.

Interact with prescription medications (particularly those for mental health, including SSRIs, antipsychotics, carbamazepine, lithium, and valproic acid) Worsen psychiatric disorders and increase the risk of mania in people with mood disorders Increase the risk of hormone-sensitive cancers (prostate, breast, and ovarian) Lead to oily skin, acne, or hirsutism in women (male-pattern hair growth) For more information on the potential drug interactions, you can find extensive lists from the Mayo Clinic and Mount Sinai. In terms of potential benefits of DHEA, the synthetic hormone may improve sex drive in older, postmenopausal women, specifically (not younger, premenopausal women). The results have been mixed, however.12 Looking at the rest of the ingredients, the outlook for trying HerSolution is a bit more positive. While we delve further into the nitty gritty details of these ingredients in our full HerSolution review, the following list breaks down some of the research. Niacin: Can improve blood flow via the promotion of nitric oxide production.33 Hops extract: May help relieve hot flashes and increase libido via its potential to bind to estrogen receptors.34 35 Mucuna pruriens: Contains a precursor to dopamine, one of the neurotransmitters heavily involved in sexual arousal.17 36 Tribulus terrestris: “Significantly improved” postmenopausal patients' levels of desire and arousal, along with promoting orgasms and reducing pain from intercourse in one 2016 study. drug flibanserin, which is FDA-approved to treat HSDD.

Each tube, supposedly, contains a 30-day supply. It’s unclear how much gel is estimated as one use, though. This is in contrast to Wisp and Unbound clearly stating that their products use a pea-sized treatment. Leading Edge Health offers a bulk purchase discount, so the more tubes you buy, the more you save. If you buy a 3-month or 6-month supply, you’ll also receive a free box of HerSolution pills.

However, researchers acknowledge that other reasons, like self-image or happiness in a relationship, can also play a role.18 Additionally, a major part of these symptoms is that they need to be causing you some form of distress. If you don’t care about not having sexual thoughts or desires, then it isn’t HSDD. To receive a prescription, you’ll need to consult with a physician. If sexual tablets for women you’d rather not wait to see a doctor in person, you can visit the Addyi website and consult with a doctor online using the telehealth service beyondMD for $29. includes a comprehensive overview of drug interactions, side effects, and potential risks.
