It’s important to remember that everyone is different. It may take a little experimentation to find out what works best for you. If your desire feels muted, disconnected, or simply missing, you’re far from alone. Nearly 40% of women experience sexual dysfunction at some point—and low libido ranks among the most common and frustrating concerns. You might love your partner, feel emotionally connected, and still find yourself thinking, “I just never feel like it.” Most libido solutions were designed with men in mind, targeting physical arousal while ignoring how women’s desire actually works.

Activates the brain’s desire center

Female sexuality involves both a neurochemical spark—the motivation and anticipation that makes you want intimacy—and an emotional dimension rooted in connection, safety, and bonding. Addressing only one pathway leaves most women still searching for answers. At Inner Balance, we developed Libida™ specifically because women deserve a solution that reflects their unique biology. By combining bremelanotide with oxytocin in a single sublingual tablet, Libida™ addresses both the brain-based desire pathways and the emotional connection that shapes female arousal—something no other product provides. Libida™ is the only libido solution combining bremelanotide + oxytocin, addressing both neurochemical desire and emotional bonding pathways in one sublingual tablet Female desire originates in the brain, not just the body—effective solutions must target the hypothalamus where motivation and arousal signals begin Hormonal imbalance often underlies low libido, making foundational hormone support with Oestra™ an important complement for many women FDA-approved prescription options exist addressing different aspects of desire through various mechanisms Natural supplements like maca and DHEA show modest benefits in clinical studies Stress management and lifestyle factors provide important foundational support for sexual wellness Most libido treatments approach female desire as if it works the same as male arousal—focus on blood flow, increase physical sensation, and hope motivation follows.

But research confirms that women’s sexuality involves complex interactions between neurochemical signals and emotional readiness. Libida™ combines two distinct active compounds that work synergistically: Bremelanotide activates melanocortin receptors (MC4R) in the hypothalamus—the brain region governing desire. This boosts dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for: It contains the same FDA-approved active ingredient used in the injectable treatment Vyleesi, but delivered as a convenient sublingual tablet. Oxytocin activates bonding and emotional-safety pathways, supporting: Together, these compounds create a dual-pathway approach that reflects how women’s sexuality actually works—not just physical arousal, but genuine wanting.

What women are saying

By enhancing GABA activity and reducing cortisol, ashwagandha helps calm the nervous system. Small studies show improvements in lubrication, sexual arousal, and satisfaction. The NIH confirms ashwagandha helps with stress and anxiety—known desire inhibitors. Takes 2-4 weeks of consistent use to notice effects Addresses stress pathways rather than direct neurochemical desire mechanisms Best as complementary support alongside more direct interventions L-arginine provides the raw material for nitric oxide production, improving blood flow to genital tissues. Studies suggest L-arginine combinations may improve libido, decrease vaginal dryness, and increase clitoral sensation.

How do I know if my libido is low?

It’s available both as supplements and through foods like peanuts, sesame seeds, and chickpeas. Targets physical arousal rather than desire itself May worsen herpes outbreaks (HSV-1 and HSV-2) Can interact with medications and cause digestive issues Mayo Clinic recommends stress management techniques including meditation, yoga, and mindfulness as part of treating female sexual dysfunction.
