A good read I found.

Vitamin A,Contained in spinach,carrots,watermelons and mangoes,helps transform cholesterol into active sex hormones.Shortage of Vitamin A reduces hormone production and inhibits your libido.
This vitamin is also vital for the health of mucous membranes,especially he mouth and the Virgina,Its effect is greater when taken in conjunction with vitamin E.

Vitamin B,contained in potatoes,banana and pumpkins,also plays a significant role in the production of sex hormones.Bananas,by helping promote the retention of calcium,nitrogen and phosphorus,work to build healthy tissues.They are also known to reduce mental stress,thought to be one of the major cases of reduced sex drive.Banana flower,ground into a paste is considered to be an effective home remedy for disorders like dysmenorrhoea and amenorrhoea.Caffeine destroys

vitamin B1 and this can result in rapid pulse.Deficiencies in riboflavin and vitamin B2 interfere with our carbohydrate mechanism and rob us of energy.

Vitamin B3,niacin,enhances sex performance by dilating blood vessels.Inositol found in sesame seeds slows down arterial hardening.Vitamin B12 deficiency causes anemia and compromises the male sex drive and nervous system.

Vitamin C acts along with iron to maintain levels of adrenal gland hormones,involving,among others,a hormone that stimulates orgasm.Vitamin C also boosts immunity levels.

Vitamin E is the sexual vitamin.Tocepherol compounds are vital to our reproductive system and as a rule of thumb,anything related to better production relates to better sex.Vitamin E is the anti-sterility vitamin because its deficiency causes impotence.It retards the aging process,protects fatty acids and hormones from oxidation,and improves blood supply.

Makes sure you get adequate calcium.Calcium maintains acid/alkaline balance,provides you with sexual stamina,and also helps prevention of over excitement.Don;t rely on milk alone for your calcium supplementation.If you are on a high sugar diet you will need to take calcium supplements.This is because sugar causes acidity in the system with is reversed by calcium,potassium and sodium salts working in conjunction.However,if potassium and sodium intake is below required levels and you are on a high sugar diet,the calcium will be deposited in your joints,irritating them and causing the formation of spurs and bumps.The supplementation provided by a multivitamin,multi mineral pill once a day is enough for your calcium requirement.Menopausal and postmenopausal women need to take twice as much calcium.Sesame seeds are an excellent source of calcium.
Silicon is the fertility mineral.And it makes you look good.Giving bounce to your hair and a shine to your skin.Silicon also improves sexual sensitivity and improves response.Its found in sprouts,brown rice and whole grains.

Potassium is the greatest alkaliser.It maintains the right acid/alkaline balance for hormone production in the endocrine glands.Its electrolyte properties make it an important agent for healthy muscle tissues,vitality,strength and coordination.The best sources are blackstrap molasses,soybean,dried fruit and raw nuts.Cut down on salt sugar and coffee as these tend to deplete the body's potassium reserves.

Iron relates directly to stamina.It is present n the enzymes that take part in cell respiration and is stored in muscle tissues.Iron supplements help as does a diet rich in green leafy vegetables.

Lecithin contains phosphorus and choline.It is essential for sexual arousal,and as much as 80 per cent of the male seminal fluid is lecithin.Soy products and egg yolks are good sources of lecithin.

Magnesium is an excellent muscle relaxant and aids in prolonged sexual intercourse.It also reduces sexual anxiety.
Chromium helps regulate blood sugar levels which determine available energy and the peppier you feel the better you will be in bed!.

Zinc is needed by spermatozoa and the prostate gland for the production of seminal fluid.Low levels of zinc can cause sterility.

Essential fatty acids{EFAs} are needed by almost all the endocrine glands.They are vital to the functioning of the thyroid,adrenal and prostate glands.They promote calcium absorption and aid in membrane formation.EFAs are fund in fish oils and in safflower,corn and sunflower oils.They contains linoleic acid which is essential for the production of prostaglandin-a group of hormones,some of which vastly improve blood circulation.
