Later on I discuss
the various factors
involved in psychological and physical (organic) erectile dysfunction, but for now I wanted to let you
know about my discovery regarding years of research in formulating an
herbal blend to enhance sexual stamina and support healthy erectile
function. I'm proud to announce a
wonderful blend called Passion Rx.
Some
chemicals found in the body and brain involved in the human sexual response include dopamine, acetylcholine,
and nitric oxide. All these three natural chemicals and others can be
manipulated and influenced through the use of natural herbs and
supplements.
Caution: There is a
higher rate of heart disease in men who have problems with maintaining an
erection. All men with
ED -- particularly older
men who are more likely to have physical causes as opposed to psychological
causes -- need a medical evaluation, detailed
cardiac assessment, blood pressure measurement, lipid profile and blood sugar
tests, as well as lifestyle advice regarding weight management, diet
improvement, smoking cessation, reduction of alcohol use, sleep quality
improvement, and exercise. If you have
a problem with erectile dysfunction,
make sure to have a full medical evaluation before
starting therapy or remedy, whether with an herbal product or a prescription drug. Some herbs are very potent and
have a tendency to accelerate heart rate or increase blood pressure which may not be well tolerated by
those who have cardiac or cardiovascular problems. Even though herbs are safer
than prescription medications, they do have side effects in high doses.
Erectile Dysfunction supplement natural remedy, treatment,
herbs, vitamins
The potent herbal extracts in Passion Rx include
ashwagandha
herb, catuaba herb, cnidium, herba cistanches, horny goat weed
herb,
maca herb, muira puama,
passion flower,
tongkat ali
herb (extract called
LJ100), mucuna
pruriens extract,
tribulus
terrestris extract and
yohimbe herb. A version without yohimbe bark
extract is also available.
I am not convinced that l arginine amino acid, by itself, is an effective
treatment for erectile dysfunction. Additional nutraceuticals that help
ED are
Propionyl-L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine. They
enhance the effectiveness of sildenafil. I know onions help with treating ED,
perhaps it is the quercetin in them.
Q. For the natural herbal treatment of ED, if you were to personally
choose, take, and alternate between only two of the following four
herbs, catuaba, ginseng extract, horny goat weed, and
Tribulus Terrestris
Extract, which two
would they be? Or, which two of the above three herbs work
better for ED?
A. Different people react differently to these herbs and combinations.
I prefer using a formula that has several plant extracts. One may also
adapt to a single herb if used too often and it is a good idea to
alternate their use.
Q. In a study they mentioned that grape seed extract in similar
dosage was found to have the same effect as Pycnogenol for less money as a
natural treatment for erectile dysfunction. That got me to wondering about other
pine bark extracts and what the comparison would be to those three items, taking
into account whatever it is in Pycnogenol coupled with L-arginine that caused
the high rate of success.
A. There are not enough such studies regarding pine bark extract,
grape seed extract or other similar compounds to know which are effective as
natural erectile dysfunction treatments but some reports from users indicate
that they may be of benefit.
Q. I have significant
erectile dysfunction,
have been taking saw palmetto herb to counteract prostate enlargement, and I am
wondering if the saw palmetto works by "suppressing the effects of
testosterone" or by actually suppressing the levels of testosterone in
the body? According to a blood test, my total testosterone is less than 1/2 of the normal "low" value,
while free testosterone is about 10% below the normal low value. I am 58 and
have been using saw palmetto for about 4 years, the same length of time I have
been experiencing
erectile dysfunction.
I have recently started testosterone injections.
A. My latest understanding with saw palmetto in regards
to testosterone is that it may inhibit its conversion into DHT in prostate
tissue. Whether saw palmetto influences levels of testosterone in the body or is
a factor in causing
erectile dysfunction
is not clear to me at this time. Many people have the opposite reaction, they
notice sexual benefits from the use of this herb.

natural compounds from seed extract of Mucuna pruriens lacking l-DOPA
for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The polar extract of M.
pruriens seed can be used for ED therapy, especially in patients with
metabolic diseases including diabetes. The action of the extract might
be due to catechol and its derivatives and polyphenols.
Diet and weight loss, the foods you eat make a
difference in the long run
Exercise and weight loss improve sexual function in obese men.
We know that eating a healthy diet that's loaded with
fruits and veggies, fish, getting regular exercise, and maintaining a
normal weight reduces one's risk for heart attack and stroke. Research
shows that these same lifestyle changes are effective in improving ED.
Time and time again clinical trials have shown obesity to be a common
cause of ED. Eating garlic, onion, and ginger can be of help in treating
ED.
Eating foods that are rich in
certain flavonoids reduces the risk of erectile dysfunction in men,
especially those under 70, according to research from Harvard University
and the University of East Anglia published in The American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition, 2016. Of the different flavonoids, anthocyanins
(found in blueberries, cherries, blackberries, radishes and
blackcurrant), and flavanones and flavones (found in citrus fruits) were
found to offer the greatest benefits in preventing ED.
Natural herbs and
supplements as cause of ED, negative effect
Certain dietary supplements, such as 5-HTP that converts into serotonin, and the
herb kava, can, if used frequently, reduce sex drive, urge, and sensation.
Perhaps so
can the GABA agonist phenibut and perhaps picamilon.
Exercise helps, daily walks
Physical activity levels improves a man's ability to have better
erections and orgasms, the quality and frequency of erections, and overall
sexual function, possibly due to the deeper sleep it provides and perhaps
improved body image.
Am J Cardiol. 2015. A home-based walking program improves erectile dysfunction in men with an acute myocardial infarction.
Daily exposure to light early in the morning improves sexual satisfaction scores and boosts testosterone levels in men with reduced libido or erectile difficulty.
Understanding the causes
Erectile dysfunction can be classified simply under two headings.
Psychological: that is, mental; or Organic: that is, due to some form of
physical or medical problem. Organic ED becomes more common as men get older.
Psychological causes are more likely in those below the age of 30.
Psychological causes
The causes
of psychological erectile dysfunction are numerous, and it is difficult to list them all,
but most often this condition is related to depression, performance anxiety, marital stress
or relationship problems, marital boredom, life crisis, financial difficulties, religious repression, or
some type of mental illness. Improving ED in these cases may
require addressing the underlying causes.
Organic causes
There are four major causes of organic erectile dysfunction:
Vascular, Neural, Hormonal, and Drug-induced. The cause of ED determines the treatment approach. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and tobacco
abuse are the three most common causes in men older than 50 years of
age.
Med J Aust. 2013. Risk factors for erectile dysfunction in a cohort of 108 477 Australian men. In a large population-based cross-sectional study, ED increased considerably with age. There are a range of potentially modifiable risk factors for ED, including smoking, low physical activity, and high body mass index.
Vascular causes involving poor blood flow
Alterations in the flow of blood to and from the penis
are thought to be a common cause. For instance, medical
conditions such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high cholesterol,
hypertension, or diabetes reduce blood flow to the penis and genital organs thus leading
to difficulty with erection or genital swelling. Erectile dysfunction
could be an early indication of oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction. Patients with cardiovascular disease and patients with
diabetes represent the largest group of patients with
ED. Lowering cholesterol through diet,
supplements, or medicines improves this condition.
Metabolic syndrome can increase
inflammatory markers in blood and negatively influence endothelial
function resulting in poor vasodilation and a higher incidence of erectile
dysfunction.
Additional factors that can impede blood flow include penile injury
and surgery in the pelvic and abdominal area.
Heavy smoking is an important risk factor for ED in men and quitting
smoking, over time, improves this condition.
Stopping cigarette smoking leads to improved penile tumescence and rigidity.
Chronic periodontitis is characterized with inflammation of the gingival
tissues, which causes endothelial dysfunction in different organs. There
seems to be an association of chronic periodontitis with ED.
Neural causes
Nerve damage from disorders such as multiple
sclerosis, Parkinsons disease, diabetes, and stroke affect the brains ability to respond
to sexual stimulation and cause erectile dysfunction. In women, abdominal or pelvic operations can occasionally lead to
nerve damage. ED is common in men undergoing surgical treatment for
prostate enlargement or cancer.
Hormonal causes
Low levels of androgens, such as
testosterone, are sometimes a component of erectile dysfunction. Testosterone levels decline about 1 percent each year in men, which may
contribute to erectile dysfunction with aging. Testosterone also declines with age in women
leading to a decrease in female libido.
Replacement of androgens can sometimes be helpful in those with age related
erectile dysfunction.
Testosterone is available by prescription only. An over the counter hormones, such as DHEA, converts into testosterone and thus
has a positive influence on erectile dysfunction. Pregnenolone is another over the counter hormone that may increase testosterone
levels and thus improve erectile dysfunction. Many herbal
aphrodisiacs also have a positive influence on erectile dysfunction. Routine
hormone blood studies for erectile dysfunction evaluation are not needed
during the initial evaluation but perhaps later if treatment modalities
are not successful. Prominent diseases of the endocrine system, such as
diabetes mellitus, hypogonadism, and hyperprolactinemia, may cause
erectile dysfunction. Sometimes erectile dysfunction treatment with
hormones such as DHEA
or testosterone can be effective.
Drug or Medication-induced ED is quite common, even
some herbs and supplements can be a cause
Drugs that interfere with erectile function
include antihistamines used for allergy treatment, some anti-hypertensives used
for high blood pressure, SSRIs (like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil and others), sedatives
(such as Zanax, Valium, prescription sleeping pills, and others),
narcotic pain medications such as codeine and morphine, and beta-blockers. SSRIs - treatment for depression - cause
ED mostly due to their effect on serotonin
metabolism. Serotonin has an inhibitory effect on erectile function and
sexuality. Beta blockers such as propranolol, atenolol, and others, are
some of the most common medications that cause erectile dysfunction. DHT
blockers such as Avodart and Proscar, Propecia, are also known to cause
ED. The generic names are dutasteride and finasteride.
Surprisingly, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen
also cause erectile dysfunction. Regardless of the reason for taking them,
painkillers classified as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
apparently increase the likelihood that middle-aged and elderly men will
develop erection difficulties.
I am a sufferer of ED caused from Propecia drug. I live in Cyprus, many young men can reach finasteride from local pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. I'm 30 years old and had a very good sexual life strong erections and good sex drive all my life until I took Propecia for two months. My prolactin level increased from normal ranges 3-15 to 35. MRI showed no pituitary tumor.
I'm a 53 year old man, used to smoke for 20 yrs. Never used to drink alcohol. For 4 yrs I take Disopyramide 100mg 2 times a day and losartan 25mg x2 half a day. I am starting to get ED gradually now for the past 2 weeks I have almost full ED.
Medical diseases and metabolic disorder
Certain medical conditions cause erectile dysfunction or reduce libido,
performance, or enjoyment. These include hypertension, diabetes, high
cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, obesity, peripheral vascular disease, neurologic disorders, and insomnia.
In diabetic men with ED, the severity of their sexual
performance problem increases as control of blood sugar levels worsens.
Sitting on a bicycle too long. Men
who log several thousand miles a year on their mountain bikes suffer scrotal
damage that could reduce their fertility or cause erectile dysfunction.
Have you heard of the metabolic syndrome or Syndrome X? Symptoms of metabolic syndrome include a large waistline, high
blood pressure, raised insulin levels, excess body weight and abnormal
cholesterol levels. If someone has three or more symptoms they have the
syndrome and a higher risk of suffering from life-threatening illnesses. Patients
with metabolic syndrome have an increased prevalence of erectile
dysfunction.
Insomnia is a common cause.

Association Between Erectile Dysfunction and Subsequent Prostate Cancer
Development: A Population-Based Cohort Study With Double Concurrent Comparison
Groups. Erectile dysfunction (ED) and prostate cancer share common potential
risk factors such as chronic inflammation, prostatitis, cigarette smoking,
obesity, a high animal fat diet, a sedentary life, and depression.
Diabetes, high blood sugar
Diabetic men are
much likely to develop ED as
non-diabetic men. The cause is multifactorial, but most commonly reflects
endothelial dysfunction and autonomic neuropathy. Diabetes and vascular disease
may be a marker for silent occlusive
arterial disease. Treatment is effective in the majority and all options should
be considered, beginning with the much preferred oral phosphodiesterase type 5
inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil).
Review of Cialis, Levitra, Viagra and erectile dysfunction pills
Viagra sildenafil, approved by the FDA in 1998, has been the most popular
medicine for the treatment of ED. Viagra works very well in dilating
blood vessels in the genital region leading to an erection or increased blood flow to the
vaginal tissues, however it does little to directly increase libido or sexual arousal. The
effect of Viagra is often noticed within an hour after taking a pill of 50 or 100 mg, and
ease of erection may last up to 12 hours. Side effects of Viagra include headache,
flushes, nasal congestion or runny nose, malaise, nausea, changes in blood pressure,
irregular heart beats, visual disturbances including rare cases of blindness, and chest
pain. Viagra may cause stickiness of blood platelets.
Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra can cause muscle aches and low back pain.
Trimetazidine, a drug that prevents heart-related chest pain, is a better choice
than "nitrate" drugs, such as Nitro-DUR and Isordil, for men with
heart disease who are taking Viagra sildenafil for
erectile dysfunction treatment. There have been concerns about
dangerously low blood pressure when Viagra is combined with nitrates, the
authors explain, yet many men with heart disease are currently seeking
treatment for erectile dysfunction.
I personally find natural sex boosters quite effective and preferable
to pharmaceutical erectile dysfunction drugs.
Q. Do you know where
Vitaros is in its FDA approval process? I’m a 63-year-old man, and don’t have
much luck with any of the pill supplements, even in fairly high doses. My libido
is strong, but the hardware isn’t cooperating. I hate using Muse and the
injections seem sort of terrifying.
A. As far as I know FDA rejected Apricus Bio's ED cream Vitaros in
2018.

Q. Does
alcohol make erectile
dysfunction disorder worse?
A. Heavy alcohol use can cause ED.
Alcohol is an anesthetic and has hormonal affects.
In general are there any herbs that one would be taking that could
result in erectile disfunction?
Kava herb is one
example, and 5HTP nutrient is another.
