Rosemary leaf - Rosemary is a traditional meat preservative, and is an essential ingredient in many meat dishes, soups, and breads. One of its main benefits is aiding digesting and relieving cramps. It helps relax muscles includes stomach muscles of the digestive tract and uterus, which is why its sometimes used to help menstrual cramps. Large amounts of rosemary can cause cramping, and its not recommended to use if you are pregnant.

Black Cohosh - is a herb and is sold as a dietary supplement. It's also used for hot flashes and other menopause symptoms.

Chasteberry helps to normalize the ratio of progesterone to estrogen, thus providing relief from the PMS symptoms..

St. John's Wort - is a herb that's been used for hundreds of years, mainly to treat depression. However, St. John's Wort is know to interact with certain drugs, and also reduces the effectiveness of drugs and medication. So, if your taking any type of medication, think twice before using Zotrin, and it would be a good idea to get some advice from your doctor.

Some benefits of panax ginseng include improving immune system, helps maintain adrenal function, stablizes blood sugar, increases stress tolerance, reduced mental stress and fatigue, lowers risk of cancer, and treating male impotence.

Maca root - contains alot of amino acids, complex carbs, vitamines, and minerals such as calcium zinc, magnesium, and iron. Maca has been used as an aphrodisiac by Peruvians for both men and women. It helps increase energy, vitality, and endurance. It also helps improve fertility, and increasing male sperm count and mobility. Some studies have found Maca to cause a 180% increase in sex drive and a 200% increase in sperm count. Hence Maca has been used to treat impotence, and erectile difficulties.

L-glutamine - read about L-glutamine here.

Essentially, Zotrin (Zotril) is a bunch of herbs thrown together, and for the Zotrin for Women and Zotrin for Men versions, they each contain different herbs and some are an aphrodisiac with sexual enhancing effects.

I can't put a worth on how effective Zotrin really is at weight loss, but you should at least get a slight boost in sex drive if nothing else. ;-) And if you've used Zotrin, please let me know how it worked for you!
