Some researchers believe one of the major causes of impotence in males is high or low blood sugar, caused by eating foods high in sugar and empty carbohydrates. A typical fast food diet such as a hamburger, fries, and a coke with a candy bar snack does not support male glands, or aid in the production of sperm - a key factor in the ability to perform sexually. Regulating blood sugar nutritionally may help a large percentage of males perform sexually without excessive cost or side effects. In a small percentage of males, anemia may be the problem and can be effectively regulated with diet and supplements.
SOME SUPPLEMENTS FOR SEXUAL HEALTH:
L-Arginine is an essential amino acid, one of the building blocks of protein in the body. "Essential" refers to the fact that the body cannot manufacture arginine from other substances the way it does some amino acids. Dietary arginine is the primary source of nitrogen molecules for nitric oxide. Scientists have come to recognize nitric oxide as the primary mediator of penile erection. It also increases the libido in both men and women. Users have reported achieving a prosexual effect by taking this amino acid 45 minutes before sex.
Vitamin B-3 or Niacin causes a large release of histamine all over the body, one effect of which is to dilate blood vessels so more blood can flow through them. A relatively large release of histamine occurs naturally during sexual excitation causing a 'sex flush'. The flush caused by niacin is basically the same as the natural 'sex flush' but is probably more intense. The niacin-induced histamine release also causes the secretion of mucus in the mouth and sexual organs. Niacin has the ability to increase sensation all over the body.
Muira pauma is one of the best herbs to use for treating erectile dysfunction or lack of libido. Also known as Potency Wood, this shrub is native to Brazil and has long been used as a powerful aphrodisiac and nerve stimulant.
Ginkgo biloba Extract may be extremely beneficial in the treatment of erectile dysfunction due to lack of blood flow. Studies show positive effects in 50% of cases.
Corynanthe yohimbe is the only FDA approved medicine for treating impotence. For centuries the tea brewed from the bark of this tree has been used to amplify male virility and sexual prowess. Current scientific and medical literature focuses primarily on the use of yohimbine's sexual properties as a treatment for male impotence. This leaves untouched the broad range of intense prosexual effects widely reported by men who have no sexual dysfunction. Recent studies indicate that yohimbine's primary path of action promotes erection and stimulates sex drive in males. When given to sexually healthy men yohimbe produces its most impressive and consistent prosexual effects with the following results: heightened libido; increased tactile sensation in the genitals and other parts of the body; longer, harder, larger erections; increased stamina; and more powerful orgasms and ejaculations.
Damiana or Turnera diffusa leaves have been used in the United States since 1874 as an aphrodisiac and to improve the sexual ability of the enfeebled and aged. Although there are no clinical studies to support this claim, damiana use is very popular. Damiana is seldom used alone but is found in commercial preparations used to increase sexual sensitivity.
Panax ginseng has long been labeled a 'sexual rejuvenator'. Ginseng has been shown to promote growth of the testes, increase sperm formation and testosterone levels. It is best used as a fertility and virility aid.
Zinc is perhaps the most critical trace mineral for male sexual function. It is involved in virtually every aspect of male reproduction. Zinc deficiency is characterized by decreased testosterone levels and sperm counts. Optimal zinc levels must be attained if optimum male sexual vitality is desired.
