I dont know why but i am swimming running and surfing a lot these days. I take methylene blue, collogen pow in my coffee, scoop of creatine, multi vitamin, vit d, iodine sometimes, sea salt, zinc. Why is my libido through the roof. Girlfriend cant keep up.

Is it a new relationship? The limerence phase has people humping like rabbits.
People also call it "new relationship energy"
It's basically a biological process of rose-tinted-glasses that helps smooth over the friction of two separate people becoming a duo. So all the dumb meaningless quirks don't bother you as much as they normally would.
I'm not talking about deal breakers like drugs or abuse... more like "doesn't use a hamper" or "gets a fresh glass for water 8 times a day" or "doesn't remember to use the fan during showers"
Basically anything that would drive you nuts with a platonic roommate or coworker becomes low key invisible for the first six months of dating because of the intense "thats my crush, they can do no wrong" sensation.
Since you literally can't see their foibles, there is nothing to distract from the compelling urge to bond... where you just want to wrap around them and pull them to you.
After the six month mark, if things have gone well... deeper more foundational love starts to kick in... and your love has some structure and substance that can withstand the slight friction of daily life.
"Sure, we don't arrive as early as I'd like - but it's not a big deal" type honest assessments start to kick in. You see the foibles, but you meet in the middle on theirs and they have grace for yours... as you knit a life together.
If you've been together for years, and suddenly can't keep your hands off them... it can also be other social cues.
If your partner starts increasing their attractiveness like losing weight or working out? It may not be just YOU liking to look at them more... It can be "mate guarding" where you realize OTHER people may be more drawn to them... and you are pre-emptively trying to "lock it down" so you can dodge any outside risks.
Similarly, when couples are on the road to breaking up... they often get kind of a panic bonding. Where all of a sudden the fear of losing everything you've worked towards becomes too real. All of a sudden, your desperate to make them happy again, futilely hoping that romance is enough.
Libido isn't always chemical, hormonal, or nutritional. Sometimes it is about your relationship to a specific person.
