What is it?

Zestra may improve sexual function in normal women and in those suffering from female sexual disorders.

Zestra is a personal product for women promoted to relieve symptoms of female sexual dysfunction. It contains borage seed oil, evening primrose oil, angelica root extract, Coleus forskohlii extract, ascorbyl palmitate, and dl-alpha tocopherol. Sexual dysfunction may include painful intercourse, loss of desire, and difficulty in achieving arousal or orgasm. Stress, changes in hormone, cancer treatment, drugs, or menopause are some of the factors that can cause sexual dysfunction. Properties in borage, evening primrose, angelica, and C. forskohlii may be responsible for Zestra’s activity. A small study suggests that Zestra can improve sexual function in both normal women and in those suffering from female sexual arousal disorder.

Zestra has not been studied in cancer patients. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or those trying to get pregnant should not use Zestra.
