Writer: Healthy FoxHealthy Fox

Updated: Feb 8

“This is one of those catch-all products for both men and woman struggling with their hormones. I love getting this product to people because of how quick most clients begin to feel a difference. Clients range from in their 20s seeing big progress in the gym and their body to 40-50 year olds feeling a desire for sex like they were in highschool again! Optimizing the body’s natural production of sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen as well as increased blood flow to your sexual organs has benefits for your libido, muscle mass, sexual function, energy etc..” Dr. Michelle
