Hormone balance (2)
- Effectiveness of a herbal formula in women with menopausal syndrome
PubMed ID: 22105039
Improved menopausal symptom score with Lady 4 (multi-ingredient) suggests activity on menopausal-related physiology; no direct hormone measurements and damiana's role is unclear.
- The Impact of a Standardized Oral Multinutrient Supplementation on Embryo Quality in in vitro Fertilization/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection: A Prospective Randomized Trial
PubMed ID: 27832646
Multinutrient (including damiana) improved embryo quality in IVF — an outcome linked to reproductive hormonal milieu, but multiple co-ingredients limit attribution.
Sexual wellness (2)
- A double-blind placebo-controlled study of ArginMax, a nutritional supplement for enhancement of female sexual function
PubMed ID: 11554217
4-week RCT of ArginMax (multi-herb including damiana) showed significant improvements in sexual satisfaction and desire vs placebo; effect is robust but cannot be attributed solely to damiana.
- The enhancement of female sexual function with ArginMax, a nutritional supplement, among women differing in menopausal status
PubMed ID: 16959660
4-week randomized study with the combined supplement improved desire, satisfaction, and intercourse frequency (effects varied by menopausal status); strong clinical signal but confounded by multiple ingredients.
Appetite regulation (2)
- Acute effects of a herb extract formulation and inulin fibre on appetite, energy intake and food choice
PubMed ID: 23207186
Placebo-controlled crossover trial found YGD (includes damiana) acutely reduced lunch kcal intake (~112 kcal, −17.3%) and subjective hunger AUC, strong support for appetite-regulating effect of the mix.
- Weight loss and delayed gastric emptying following a South American herbal preparation in overweight patients
PubMed ID: 11424516
YGD slowed gastric emptying and increased satiation leading to reduced intake and weight loss in RCT — supports appetite-regulating action of the formulation; damiana not isolated.
Weight management (2)
- Weight loss and delayed gastric emptying following a South American herbal preparation in overweight patients
PubMed ID: 11424516
10–45 day RCT with YGD (includes damiana) produced significant short-term weight loss vs placebo; multi-ingredient formula prevents isolating damiana's role.
- Acute effects of a herb extract formulation and inulin fibre on appetite, energy intake and food choice
PubMed ID: 23207186
Acute crossover trial showed YGD reduced meal calories (~17% reduction) which supports weight-management potential of the mix; damiana's individual contribution unclear.
Digestive support (1)
- Weight loss and delayed gastric emptying following a South American herbal preparation in overweight patients
PubMed ID: 11424516
YGD (contains damiana) slowed gastric emptying and increased fullness in RCT → plausible digestive comfort through satiety; multi-ingredient product limits attribution.
