About Zestra® and FSI/AD
Zestra® is a patented blend of natural oils clinically-proven in double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials in 276 women to increase in a statistical significant manner the arousal, desire and sexual satisfaction in Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder (FSI/AD) women. Zestra® is the first NHP product to receive approval by Health Canada for the indication of Female Sexual Desire Disorder (FSDD) and the Company has filed for label expansion to FSI/AD in Canada.
