What compounds have you taken, that were supposed to be beneficial, and found out that they tanked libido?

I hear this pretty often with dairy milk, for example. There's also people talking about having a higher libido on something like the carnivore diet compared to Ray Peat's recommendations. I'm trying to discern as to when a high libido can correlate with bad health, after an experience I had with a medication.
I am not talking about something causing impotency/erectile dysfunction, just simply the state of arousal drastically decreasing.

Overdoing the fat soluble vitamins (esp. E and K I think), pregnenolone, progesterone (though pretty much understood to be anti-libido in some contexts), androsterone.
I can't prove it but I also think tongkat ali and tribulus were libido killers for me. Basically, anything that increases DHT and / or lowers estradiol squashes things.

@Crypt-Keeper Interesting. I saw a post on the Charlie Garrett Forum about anti-aromatase decreasing arousal.
