This pilot study found that the dietary supplement Lady Prelox® significantly improved sexual function in post-menopausal women compared to a placebo. The supplement demonstrated efficacy in enhancing desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and reducing pain.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Health
- Nutritional Science
- Clinical Trials
Background:
- Menopause is associated with changes in sexual function.
- Dietary supplements are being explored for managing menopausal symptoms.
- The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a key measure for assessing sexual health.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of Lady Prelox®, a proprietary dietary supplement.
- To assess improvements in sexual function among post-menopausal women.
- To compare the effects of Lady Prelox® against a placebo control.
Main Methods:
- A single-blinded, pilot study design was employed.
- Participants were post-menopausal women with moderate sexual function impairment.
- The study involved a treatment group (Lady Prelox®) and a placebo control group, with assessments over eight weeks.
Main Results:
- Lady Prelox® significantly increased total FSFI scores after four and eight weeks.
- The supplement showed comparative efficacy over placebo (P<0.05).
- All six FSFI domains (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, pain) showed positive responses to Lady Prelox® without significant adverse effects.
Conclusions:
- Lady Prelox® presents a promising treatment option for women with impaired sexual function.
- Further research with larger cohorts, including pre- and perimenopausal women, is recommended.
- The study highlights a potential non-hormonal approach to improving post-menopausal sexual health.

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH release.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
