June 27, 2012 By L. Carr, Associate Editor and Featured Columnist Are you popping the right pills for a great sex life? And we’ re not talking about Viagra here. Did you know that certain vitamins affect how easy you find it to get an erection? When everything’s working properly it’s the easiest thing in the world. When you’re healthy and happy it seems there’s something popping up every two minutes. But when you have problems with your erection you’re in a whole world of pain – psychological, emotional and physical. We’ve been taught to take our vitamins for the good of our health but is it true that some vitamins can do us good in the bedroom too? If you suffer problems with your erection you are not alone. According to the National Institutes of Health, 5 percent of 40-year-old men and between 15 and 25 percent of 65-year-old men suffer from erectile dysfunction on a regular basis and millions more suffer occasional problems getting or maintaining an erection. If you’re struggling in the bedroom, take a look at your medicine cabinet and your kitchen shelves. Which vitamins give your erection a boost? What Causes Erectile Problems? Contrary to popular belief, the penis doesn’t have a mind of its own. Nerves carry messages to and from the penis, spine and brain and these messages make the muscles, veins and arteries – plus your erection –respond. Diabetes, which causes nerve and artery damage, affects the message process. So do conditions that cause blood flow problems like atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high blood pressure and high cholesterol. When the messages don’t get through, your penis doesn’t respond with the lightning speed you want it to. Nutrition affects vascular nitric oxide production, which is crucially important to erectile performance according to medical experts. Erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra increase your sensitivity to the beneficial effects of nitric oxide. According to a 2011 study from the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles reduced nitric oxide production results in a weakened performance between the sheets. In summary, your diet and the vitamins you consume affect your health and the effectiveness of your erection. How? We’ve checked out the scientific evidence to see which vitamins affect your erection, and why. 1. Vitamin E Helps Boost Erectile Performance Increase your intake of nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables and fortified cereals because Vitamin E could be good for your erection. Vitamin E therapy helps lessen the effect of age-related erectile dysfunction, according to a 2012 study by the Faculty of Pharmacy-Alexandria University, Egypt. This wasn’t a human study (the researchers tested rats) and further research would be useful. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which also helps protect cells from damage and is said to cut the risk of developing heart disease. Remember, a healthy heart often equals a healthy sex life. 2. Antioxidants for Erection Strength Vitamin E is one potent antioxidant but there are others that can help you to greater erectile success. Antioxidants are said to be beneficial because they increase the levels of circulating nitric oxide which in turn gives you a better erection. A 2004 study from St Joseph's Health Care, London, Canada showed antioxidants were potentially useful in boosting the erectile performance of men although the study itself was on rats. The study looked at the effect of antioxidants on diabetes-related erectile dysfunction. 3. Does Arginine Strengthen Erectile Performance? The amino acid arginine is found in foods like fish, chicken, nuts, dairy, meat and chocolate. This amino acid helps your body make nitric oxide, which we have already seen has an effect on the chances of you getting a strong erection. Fifty men who suffered erectile dysfunction took 5g of arginine or placebo in a 1999 study from Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Tel Aviv University, Israel. Those taking the amino acid enjoyed a greater improvement sexually, in terms of their ability to get and maintain an erection. 4. Arginine and Yohimbine is Better…. Arginine and the supplement yohimbine may also be effective. A 2002 study from Hopital Foch, Suresnes, France tested this combo on 45 men, giving them 6g of both supplements one to two hours before intercourse. The combination improved erectile function, especially in men who suffered moderate dysfunction. 5….. But Arginine From L-citrulline is Best According to experts, L-citrulline, which converts to arginine, is best for treating erection problems because it metabolizes better. A 2011 study from the University of Foggia, Italy showed L-citrulline improved men’s erection hardness resulting in a reported increase in satisfaction based on erection performance and number of sex sessions. 6. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Erection Friends? Experts have suggested you give yourself an extra helping of fatty fish because omega-three fatty acids are good for your erection, but is it true? The heart-friendly effect of omega-3 fatty acids may be highly beneficial for men aged over 60 (who are at greater risk of sudden death from cardiovascular disease as well as erectile dysfunction) according to a 2011 study from the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles. And a healthier heart tends to lead to a healthier sex life. Omega- 3s are also said to increase nitric oxide production. But supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids had no noticeable effect on men suffering from Peyronie's Disease, which causes erection problems, according to a 2009 study from Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran. The study looked at 224 men but the group didn’t report any sexual improvements after taking omega-3 fatty acids. 7. Use Folic Acid For Your Erection Problems Erectile problems are closely linked to cardiovascular problems. If your heart isn’t healthy, your sex life may not be either. Certain markers for cardiovascular disease are linked to the levels of folates in the body so scientists tested whether low levels of folic acid would interfere with your erection. According to 2010 research from the University of Rome La Sapienza, Rome, Italy they do – treatment with folic acid caused men to report an increase in their erection strength and consequent sexual satisfaction. 8. Zinc for a Powerful Erection? Sink for zinc – this mineral is essential for a healthy sex life as a deficiency has been linked to low testosterone. Low testosterone is a downer as it can contribute to a lackluster erection. Supplementation with 250mg of zinc supplements a day for six weeks significantly increased serum levels of testosterone according to a 2010 study from Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. Include oysters, shellfish, nuts and seeds in your erection- friendly diet. 9. Pop Coenzyme Q10 to Improve Your Erection Coenzyme Q10 is found in every cell of your body but you may need more of it to achieve a harder erection. Supplementation with coenzyme Q10 helps treat erection problems in Peyronie's disease according to a 2010 study from the Private Practice of Urology and Andrology, Tehran, Iran. Men reported increased satisfaction and improved erections after taking the supplement. 10. Other Top Vitamins for Erection Strength According to a 2010 study from the Reproductive Partners Medical Group, Redondo Beach, California calcium and vitamin C support the pathways that lead to increased nitric oxide release, which leads to better erections for you. In addition you can stop smoking and cut down on your alcoholic drinks to improve and preserve nitric oxide function. Many aspects of nutrition are linked to your penis – don’t deprive your body of the essential nutrients it needs or you could end up dissatisfied in the bedroom.
