Femi-X is based on traditional herbal aphrodisiacs, reports the Daily Telegraph.

They include horny goat weed, gingko biloba, smilex, damiana and matté, said to enhance endurance.

A study in France found women taking the pill reported a "more satisfying sex life overall".

Femi-X was produced by Danish company Denmark House with the help of a British herbal medicine expert.

Love pill for women

Peter Houghton, professor of pharmacognosy at King's College, London, said: "What the research study found was more satisfactory sex and increased sensitivity.

"There was also increased blood flow, an action a little like Viagra.

"We are not saying this would work for everyone. It would not turn someone on if they did not want to be. Rather, it is the icing on the cake."
