Shunga energy herbal supplement for women - sex supplement discontinued by Shunga Erotic Art - review by ~LaUr3n~

This glass tube contains three doses or sexual energy. The idea is that this special blend of natural herbs and ingredients will energize you and raise your libido and also heighten sexual arousal and stamina. In order for this product to be fully effective you may need to take a dose every day for three days prior to being able to take just one dose a half hour before sex. Like alcohol (which is one of the things this can be taken with) it takes a little while to kick in. It can uplift your mood sexually and otherwise. The taste isn't for everyone, though. It's very strong, earthy, and potent. Please read the ingredient list thoroughly before using this product. This product has not been inspected by the FDA (Then why is it on the market?!?! I've never understood that...).

Ingredients: Damiana(typo on product page), Caramuru, Ashwaganda, Clavo Huasca, Guarana, Water, Glycerine, Aroma (Natural Flavor) Sucralose, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Methyl Paraben.

-Damiana: Herb that grows in Baha California, Mexico; Aphrodisiac, to treat headaches, and to aid in the control of bed wetting
-Caramuru: I was unable to find a lot of info on this, but it is in other sexual stimulants like Horny Goat Weed
-Ashwaganda: Fights negative effects of stress, Strengthens the immune system and supports body function
-Clavo Huasca: Aphrodisiac for both men and women
-Guarana: Has a high concentration of caffeine, is a defensive toxin that repels pathogens
-Glycerine: Sweetner
-Citric Acid and Sodium Benzoate: Preservative
-Methyl Paraben: A naturally produces compound from fruits, Antimicrobial agent (the safest of the parabens. It is generally considered to not be associated with the type that is thought to cause cancer), In order for Methyl Parabens to be damaging they have to be applied to the skin and react with UVB light.

This is a liquid, about the thickness of 1% milk. It's a little thicker than water. It easily mixes with other liquids. The recommendation is to mix it with juice or alcohol. Shake well before drinking. Particles from some ingredients can create sediments on the bottom of the bottle.

Oh boy...it totally tastes like it smells. It smells like a very strong concoction of spices. It also sort of smells like Jagermeister which has a hint of anise (black licorice). It also sort of smells like dried orange peels. It's an odd smell and taste for sure. Again, you are supposed to mix this in liquor or juice. You can do a shot of it, but it is really potent, so that will likely not be pleasant. It might taste good to some, but it made me grimace like a shot of strong liquor might.

When my partner and I decided to take shots of both the male and female versions of this, I have to say that it was at the end of long days for both of us. I could have easily gone to sleep. The directions state that you may have to take three full shots of this stuff, one every day for three days, before getting the full effect of one shot. This was not the case for us. It only took the one dose. It also didn't take 30 minutes to kick in. It's uncertain if the herbal supplement was the source of our sudden energy not to mention sexual randiness at the hour of the day, but we did have a very long sex session! Maybe it was the placebo affect, but either way we did enjoy ourselves. We just wish the stuff tasted better. It's a hard taste to get out of your mouth.

Another thing to note is that we didn't have trouble sleeping. I was concerned that since this has energy supplements, that it would act like a can of Monster or similar product. We didn't get an jitters or other noticeable side effects.

The supplement comes in a glass tube. It has a Shunga artwork piece on the front of a couple in a sexual embrace. It has non-discreet language such as "Woman Sexual Energie". The label wraps around and leave a small gap so you can see the contents. On the side of this gap are marking showing each dose. The ingredient list and nutrition label are also on the side. On the bottle is a paper sticker with the lot number and expiration date. Mine expired in 05/2011 and I got it roughly a year prior to that. The top is a screw off plastic cap. It does not leak. The bottles come sealed in plastic.
