Workout Supplement For Men’s Libido: The Science Behind OAD X Men
Heavy workouts, poor sleep, and stress can reduce both testosterone and nitric oxide (NO) levels, impacting muscle recovery, energy, and libido. OAD X Men by CCL Pharmaceuticals is formulated to address these gaps with clinically backed nutrients and botanicals to support workout stamina, hormonal balance, and sexual vitality.
Why Workout & Libido Are Linked
Hard training depletes key nutrients, elevates cortisol, and increases oxidative stress, all of which can affect testosterone and blood flow.
- Evidence: Overtraining has been linked to increased cortisol and reduced testosterone (Hackney, 2020).
- Intense exercise increases oxidative stress, impairing vascular function (Finaud et al., 2006).
Libido depends on:
- Healthy hormone balance (testosterone, DHEA): Testosterone is a primary driver of libido (Corona et al., 2014).
- Strong vascular function (NO pathway): NO is essential for erectile function (Burnett, 1997).
- Low stress and oxidative load: Chronic stress disrupts libido via elevated cortisol (Hamilton et al., 2012).
Key Ingredients & Scientific Evidence
1. L-Arginine – The Nitric Oxide Booster
L-Arginine acts as a precursor for nitric oxide, improving blood flow crucial for muscle performance and erections.
- Study: A 6-week clinical trial found 3–6 g/day of L-arginine improved erectile function in men with mild ED (Chen et al., 1999).
2. Icariin (Horny Goat Weed) – Vascular Support
Icariin increases NO synthase activity and penile blood flow.
- Evidence: Animal studies show improved intracavernosal pressure and erectile function after icariin treatment (Zhang et al., 2005).
3. Maca – Desire Enhancer
Maca improves libido independent of testosterone levels.
- Study: A 12-week RCT reported significant improvements in sexual desire among men (Gonzales et al., 2002).
4. Tribulus Terrestris – Libido Support
- “Tribulus may not drastically raise testosterone, but it’s known to enhance sexual well-being and satisfaction.”
- Review: Documented libido benefits in men (Neychev & Mitev, 2016).
5. Panax Ginseng – Energy & ED Support
Panax ginseng is effective against ED and reduces fatigue.
- Meta-analysis: Ginseng significantly improved erectile function over placebo (Jang et al., 2008).
6. Zinc – Testosterone & Fertility
Zinc deficiency lowers testosterone and impairs sperm production.
- Study: Zinc supplementation restored testosterone levels and sperm count (Prasad et al., 1996).
7. Vitamin E & Selenium – Sperm Quality
Vitamin E and selenium protect sperm from oxidative damage.
- RCT: A 3-month trial showed enhanced motility and morphology (Moslemi et al., 2011).
How OAD X Men Works
- NO pathway activation → Improves circulation for workouts and erectile function.
- Hormone support → Zinc and selenium maintain testosterone and fertility.
- Stress & recovery → Ginseng reduces oxidative stress and fatigue.
How to Use
- Dosage: Take 1 tablet daily with a main meal.
- Duration: Use for 8–12 weeks for maximum results (based on clinical trial durations).
- Lifestyle synergy: Combine with strength training, restful sleep, and balanced nutrition.
Who Should Consult a Doctor First?
- Men with hypertension, cardiovascular issues, or anxiety (due to yohimbine).
- Those on antidepressants, blood thinners, or PDE-5 inhibitors.
The Takeaway
OAD X Men offers science-backed ingredients to improve vascular health, libido, and recovery. While not a substitute for healthy living, it’s a performance edge for men aiming to train harder and live passionately.
