Pomegranates
All the antioxidants in pomegranates make it one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs of the lot.

Salmon
Filled with omega-3 fatty acids which means increased sex-hormone production.

Watermelon
The phytonutrient citrulline in watermelons escalates the amount of nitric oxide in the body. This then means that the blood vessels relax and circulation speeds up. Ergo increased arousal.

Oysters
This ultimate cliché, yes, but it’s famous for a reason. Packed with zinc, oysters speed up the production of testosterone.

Red Wine
The resveratrol in red wine helps blood flow and circulation and is therefore a great aphrodisiac.

Pumpkin Seeds
Same as salmon, pumpkin seeds are chock full of omega-3 fatty acids which is great for the sex drive.

Spinach
Three essential ingredients help spinach become a number one afphrodisiac. Vitamin B6, folic acid and zinc all increase production of sex hormones and sex drive.
