Quick answer: Maca at 1.5 to 3 g a day and saffron at about 30 mg a day have small trials suggesting modest improvements in desire and mood. Neither reliably changes hormones, and saffron needs care with antidepressants.
Maca
An Andean root vegetable. Small trials found modest improvements in self-reported desire after several weeks.
Saffron
The spice's stigma extract has been tested in small trials for mood and for sexual side effects of antidepressants, with promising results.
Cautions
Saffron in large amounts is unsafe; supplement doses are small. Talk to your doctor if you take antidepressants.
