Since testosterone is responsible for stimulating sexual activity in women as well as men, Institute scientists looked for changes in the female brain that might account for the comparative lack of success of Avena Sativa in women. They knew that women generally require more stimulation than men before becoming sexually aroused and that women tend to have more of a whole body response to sexual arousal than men who tend to focus more on their genital area.  

Further research led to the finding that there are more receptors for testosterone in the female brain than in the male brain. The greater number of receptors in the brains of women apparently leads to a diffusion of sexual feelings that leads to the need for greater stimulation in women. This discovery prompted the development of a separate formula for women, Vigorex Femme.

A Super Potent Aphrodisiac

Further research at the Institute led to the development of a new method of "compressing" the potency of Avena Sativa, which was transformed into a highly concentrated extract that is ten times more potent than the Avena Sativa in Vigorex Forte for Men!  

They helped develop a safe and effective aphrodisiac for women that consists of capsules containing 300 mg of the new super potent Avena Sativa and 150 mg of Sabal Serrulata in a new formula that has been christened Vigorex Femme!

Women's Response to Vigorex Femme

Researchers at the Institute tested the new Vigorex Femme formula on young, middle-aged, and older women. It has been decided to release this super potent aphrodisiac to the public because it has been very successful in the treatment of female dysfunction associated with aging even though some of the women taking the product have had difficulty in dealing with the high charged sexuality it produced.  

Dr. Mcllvenna had an astonished look on his face when he described the incredible responses he and his staff had been getting in women taking Vigorex. Among the verbal responses he's heard from women testing the product have been the following:

* A 60 year-old woman said that Vigorex Femme made her "as horny as she had been during her honeymoon."   

* A woman in her late 40s, widowed and celibate for three years, said that after taking Vigorex For Women, "all she could think about was finding an attractive man to have sex with."  

* A woman in her 30s said that "her fantasies were all about sex acts and she kept noticing men's bodies all the time and considering them as potential lovers."  

* Several women who were married demanded that their husbands take Vigorex For Men so they could match their sexual appetite after the women had taken Vigorex For Women!

Recommended Dosage Regimens

Different people have found that different regimens work for them when taking either Vigorex For Men or Vigorex For Women. Some people take one capsule a day on a continuous basis, in part because it energizes them so much. Others take one or more capsules only on days they expect to have sex.  

Dosages will vary according to individual need. Both aphrodisiacs are effective in people who suffer from sexual dysfunction as well as in persons with normal sexuality who wish to enhance their sex drive or sexual pleasure. The scientists at the Institute have found that Vigorex For Men has been beneficial in 68% to 70% of men while Vigorex Femme has been beneficial in 76% of women.  

Dr. Gary Schubach recommends taking two of the Vigorex Forte or one of the Vigorex Femme, twice per day initially plus an extra four Forte or two Femme an hour before they expect to have sex.  The beginning of positive results may vary from 2 days to 4 weeks with each person. 1 to 4 capsules may be taken for maximum results.

A Safe And Effective Aphrodisiac

Avena Sativa has proved to be a powerful aphrodisiac that produces no adverse side effects. Avena Sativa is a biologically standardized extract of green oats that is manufactured in compliance with the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. It contains no colorings, preservatives, pesticide residues, or any substance that is harmful in any way. 

"Sowing Your Wild Oats"

It's interesting that green oats contains an ingredient that stimulates sexual feelings and behavior in light of such popular terms as "feeling your oats" and "sowing your wild oats," long used as sexual metaphors with oats considered the symbol of strength, vigor, and sexuality. 

Individual Case Studies

After these studies were completed, Avena Sativa was made available to the Institute's staff for use with their sex therapy clients as well as to selected students, friends, and colleagues who were interested in experiencing its effects. The majority of these subjects, most of whom were men, reported beneficial results from taking the product.. What follows are summaries of a few of these cases.
