It is generally estimated that one in ten men suffer from erectile dysfunction. Though its difficult to tell considering that its also estimated that only 10 % of men who suffer from it actually seek out help for it. We can’t help but pity the man who doesn’t seek help to boost his sexual performance.

The fact is, we’re all a little sheepish about the subject, or some of us are at least. Luckily, that’s changing. Men everywhere are more and more willing to discuss these issues in public, and advancements in the field of penis enhancement are making it considerably easier to solve erection problems.

Erection problems can be due to physical problems. Their causes range from the side effects of certain drugs (beta blockers, antidepressants), atherosclerosis (blockage of the artery to the penis), diabetes, nerve damage (e.g. in multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries) but also due to low testosterone and poor diet.

Most of us do not eat all the right things at all the right times consistently in our lives. As a result, the best we can do is supplement for our body’s lack of the proper vitamins, minerals and proteins.

One route, an all too popular route, is to take chemical concoctions that doctors and scientists are all too ready to produce and market these days. The other route is the natural route, and more and more its proving to be not just the safer and healthier answer but also by far the most effective.

By far the most effective way to boost sexual performance is by taking a herbal penis pill or patch that includes 100% natural ingredients. One such ingredient is Arginine, an amino acid that has proven for centuries to boost sexual performance.

Arginine, The World’s Friendliest Amino Acid

Consumption of Arginine, one of the most common ingredients in male enhancement pills causes a reaction in the body that produces nitric oxide. (NO) is responsible for controlling the physiological circumstances that generate and maintain an erection such as increasing blood supply to the penis and restricting the blood flow from it.

NO molecules are produced in the penile artery wall from the amino acid arginine in response to nervous signals stimulated by sexual stimulation. The NO then triggers the dilation of the arteries, and, thereby, increases blood flow to the penis. Blood flow is also vital for a man’s sensitivity and response to stimulation during sex.

* Viagra works by blocking the production of an enzyme that allows blood to drain from the genitals but a more natural approach is to take herbs and nutrients that help maintain normal, healthy NO levels.

Supplementing the amino acid arginine from which nitric oxide is produced (found in the male enhancement patch and pill as well as in smaller quantities in some nuts and seeds such as almonds, Brazil nuts, pumpkin and sunflower) can help. We recommend regular use of the pill or patch to curb erection problems and boost sexual performance.
