1. Post-menopausal women (with/without systemic Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)) aged 45-65 defined by a documented history of
Natural amenorrhoea for > 1 year, OR Bilateral oophorectomy OR
Subjects who are surgically menopausal (hysterectomy).
Subjects who are currently taking systemic (HRT) must have taken this at a stable dose for at least 3 months. This stable dose must be maintained throughout the duration of the study. (The exception is subjects who have already been on systemic HRT and who have switched to a new brand type. They will only need to establish stable use for 1 month). HRT is defined as any estrogenic hormonal medication administered alone or in combination with progesterone/progestogens and/or androgens. Subjects will only be included if the supplement has been prescribed for an approved indication, the delivery route is approved and a reliable assay is available to ensure resultant hormone levels are not supra-physiologic. Specifically testosterone replacement for libido enhancement, methyl-testosterone supplements and testosterone creams are excluded.
2. Subjects must personally sign and date the informed consent documentation indicating that the subject (or a legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial.
3. Subjects must have been in a stable heterosexual relationship for at least 6 months prior to study start and must remain in a stable relationship throughout the duration of the study.
4. Subjects must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, laboratory tests and other trial procedures.
5. Subjects must have evidence of female sexual arousal disorder (Arousal-Cognition with either Arousal-Sensation or Arousal-Lubrication) as determined by the ASFQ. The subject will be included if the Arousal-Cognition and Arousal-Sensation/Arousal-Lubrication scores are within the appropriate range as outlined in the scoring guidance.
6. Subjects who experience personal distress due to FSD as assessed by the Measure of Female Sexual Distress (MFSD). The subject will be included if the score is within the appropriate range as outlined in the scoring guidance.

18. Subjects who have received treatment for any major psychiatric disorder (eg, psychosis or hospitalization due to major depression) within the past 12 months. Subjects on SSRIs (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors), SNRIs (selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors), tricyclic antidepressants as well as bupropion will be allowed into the study as long as their dosage has been stable for at least three consecutive months prior to entry. This same dosage must be maintained throughout the study.
19. Subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, have any medical or psychological condition or social circumstances which would impair their ability to participate reliably in the study, or who may increase the risk to themselves or others by participating.
