Wild yam contains steroid precursors.

Beta sitosterol is a very common plant steroid. It's in many different herbs.
The amino acids might help boost libido a bit, or be stimulating.
Here's a doctor's review of Ambrotose (which is nothing more than larch gum (from Larix decidua). The dose here is trivial, even if the stuff is useful.
