A vetted pick, chosen for the Braise catalog on merit, never for payment. Here's what earns it a place and who it's for.
Our verdict
A gentle, plant-based libido supplement from a brand known for toys. Some buyers notice a lift in mood and desire, but the evidence is early and it isn't for everyone.

How we vetted it
Vetted on the ingredient list, Dame's study and how it was run, dosing, and the safety cautions, from Dame's product page and retailer listings. This is a supplement, so the bar is safety and honesty about evidence, not performance.
What works well
The gummies blend L-theanine with ashwagandha, shatavari, velvet bean, and rhodiola, herbs often used for stress and mood. The thinking is that less stress leaves more room for desire. They're vegan and non-GMO, with a strawberry-mango flavor. Dame is clear that they take regular use over a few weeks, not one evening, and its page spells out who should check with a doctor first.
Who it's for
