Can ED Be Treated with Vitamins and Natural Supplements?
Some sort of natural supplements have seen increasing nitric oxide levels and increases flow of blood to the penile. But there are no true natural alternatives to some of the prescription ED medication (Intagra). But the intake of healthy food, vitamins, and supplements can notably enhance the overall health and flow of blood in the penile. And anything that shall enhance the blood flow can eventually treat some of the potential underlying causes of erectile dysfunction.
Citrulline & L-arginine
Watermelon, lemons, and pomegranates are known for containing L-citrulline that is all used for making arginine. Arginine is known for making nitric oxide, which can further help in relaxation of the blood vessels in the penile and further it can help in attaining an erection. Most of the men do not consume L-arginine supplements since it is found in everyday foods including red meat, dairy, poultry, and fish.
The efficacy of arginine supplements is quite arguable since it might break down too quickly for the body so as to use and L-arginine deficiency does not usually lead to impotence in men.
Vitamin D
In one of the studies, men with a Vitamin D deficiency were approx. 33% more likely to have impotence and consume Intagra. But actually,you do not need that much sun exposure to attain a healthy amount of Vitamin D. As little as 15 to 20 minutes a day is enough too. Gaining Vitamin D is actually a good idea, especially when you are over 65. It can also help if you are obese or dark-skinned (dark skin limits the amount of Vitamin D that you have produced naturally)
Folic Acid (Vitamin B12)
Folic acid is another B vitamin that shall help in producing nitric oxide. In one of the studies, men with severe and moderate impotence (but not mild ED) had low levels of folic acid. In men with moderate to severe impotence, folic acid supplements might be of great help. You can get folic acid from substances like oranges, bread, leafy green vegetables, grains, cereals, pasta, rice, and beans.
Natural impotence treating supplements like Intagra is a nice way so as to boost overall health. But their impact on impotence is limited at best.
