As we mentioned in previous articles with either mental or physical stimulation, your brain signals the nerve ending in the penis to release nitric oxide. Nitric oxide relaxes or dilates blood vessels, enabling them to open up and bring more blood to the penis and helping to create an erection. In this article, we will discuss how to prevent and treat erectile dysfunction with supplements:



1. Hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)

DHEA is effective with low levels of testosterone due to age. Study shows that intake of proper amounts of DHEA significantly improves both erectile function and sexual desire in men.

2. L-arginine

L-arginine increases the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide relaxes or dilates blood vessels, enabling them to open up and bring more blood to the penis and helping to create an erection. Study shows that Arginine supplementation was found to be particularly effective in improving ED in men with abnormal nitric oxide metabolism.

3. Propionyl-L-Carnitine

Propionyl-L-carnitine together with acetyl-L-carnitine were found to enhance the effective assildenafil. It helps to treat erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation resulting in improvement of erectile function, sexual intercourse satisfaction, orgasm, and general sexual well-being.

4. Chrysin

Chrysin is a bioflavonoid that helps to to boost testosterone by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, resulting in less testosterones to be converted into estrogen. Chrysin also helps to promote prostate health, the reason why it is effective in enhancing sex as a healthy prostate is essential for penis erections.

5. Yohimbe bark extract

Yohimbe bark extract comes from the bark of the corynanthe yohimbe tree.It contains ingredients called yohimbe that helps to block the alpha-2-adrenergic nerve activity, which normally constricts the blood vessels resulting in increased blood flow to the penis, helping stronger and harder erection. Study shows that it seems to be as effective as sex and marital therapy for restoring sexual(erection) function.

6. Nettle extract

Nettle extract helps in increasing levels of free testosterone. If testosterone becomes bounded to serum globuline, it will not be available for cell receptor sites thereby failing to stimulate sexual desire and erection.

7. Pepper extract

Pepper extract called piperine helps to enhance chrysin function. Study shows that pepper extract taken together with chrysin reduces the serum estrogen and increases free testosterones significantly in 30 days or less.

There are many other supplements such as garlic, gingko boliba,muira pauma, and ginger root. These can help to increase blood flow to the penis and/or the production of free testosterone.
