Andrographis is a libido booster for me

I take Andrographis when I need an immunity boost, but I noticed on several occasions already that in a few hours after I take it, I experience a sudden interest in sex. I am a 49yo male and feel horny extremely RARELY.

Andrographis seems to dilate the varicose veins in my legs (they start hurting), maybe improves erection slightly because of that blood vessel dilation effect, but the libido effect seems to be distinct and on top of the dilation. It also seems to make reaching orgasm easier and the orgasm itself more pleasant. For comparison, viagra/cialis give me erection but no libido boost and penis feels more numb on them, so reaching orgasm is harder on them.

I take 1-2 capsules Andrographis by Nature's Way with water. Each capsule contains 300mg of 10% standardized extract (leaf and stem) and 100mg of ground Andrographis (stem, leaf, flower).

I haven't tried any other Andrographis and am not sure if the sexuality boost is specific only to me or it works in general. Keep in mind that Andrographis is an immunity booster herb and it is not known if you should take it every day.
 
How long have you been using it ?
What is your protocol ?
Have you changed anything in your protocol while on it ?
 
I'm not on TRT and don't have a protocol.

Andrographis is touted as an immune stimulator and I take it only when I feel getting sick, not every day. It obviously flares my varicose veins so I won't take it every day.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
