Use Natural and Organic Supplements to Fight Erectile Dysfunction – Forgo the Chemical Side-Effects

As man ages his levels of testosterone begin to diminish. This begins at about thirty years of age. These levels will diminish year after year with little or no apparent symptoms. Once these levels reach a certain low point, various changes begin to appear. These symptoms may include lack of energy, weight gain, an increase in body fat, loss of muscle mass, decrease in the size and consistency of the testicles, loss of libido, increasing erectile dysfunction, loss of the ability to concentrate, anxiety and depression. Simply stated, without proper support a man’s masculinity slowly deteriorates over time. This is Male Menopause, actually called Andropause. In most cases, taking a natural compound, which comprises a testosterone precursor matrix, are clinically proven to increase free testosterone, the biologically active form of the hormone. Hormone levels begin to rise about one week after beginning supplementation and reach maximum levels in approximately four to eight weeks.

The mechanisms involved by which the penis goes from the flaccid to the erect state are complicated. The writer will attempt to simplify this process for easy understanding. The ability to get an erection begins in the upper motor neurons, or that part of the cerebral cortex of the brain responsible for erogenous thoughts. Those nerve impulses transmit via the spinal cord to the lower motor neurons of the pelvic nerve complex and this supplies stimulation to the erectile bodies of the penis. These nerve impulses cause dilation of the capillary lakes in the corpora cavernosa, they fill with blood, trapping it in these lakes. The result is engorgement of the penis to the point where one achieves an erection. After orgasm, the capillary lakes drain and the penis returns to its normal flaccid state. For all of these processes to take place the vascular, neurological, and psychogenic systems must be intact and functioning at their best.

Let us now discuss these systems one at a time; and further how Andropause or Male Menopause can negatively affect these systems. Then outline the necessary natural, organic supplements used to return these systems to their normal physiologic state.

First, let us understand the vascular system and its role. As mentioned, the blood supply to the penis must be intact so that the capillary lakes can fill properly. To aid this function certain active compounds shown in clinical studies to be significant smooth muscle relaxants allowing the dilation of the capillary lakes must be maintained. This facilitates greater blood flow filling capillaries; resulting in a firmer, better quality, erection.

However, for the vascular system to function effectively it must receive the proper nerve impulses. So next, we must address our nervous system and the part it plays in the process of achieving an erection.

For the nervous system to do its job, two criteria are necessary. First, the nerve, or group of nerve fibers, must be intact; and secondly, the neurotransmitters or those chemical substances that allow nerve impulses transmitting from nerve to nerve, and nerve to end organ, must be present in sufficient quantity. The neurotransmitter responsible for the nerve impulses from the upper motor neurons, and pelvic nerves, causing dilation of the cavernosal capillary lakes is nitric oxide. If this chemical is not present in sufficient quantities the nerve impulses will not cause the capillary lakes to dilate and fill, and the penis will remain flaccid. There are natural substances that function as a nitric oxide precursor matrix shown in clinical studies to increase nitric oxide levels by as much as ninety-two percent without side effects!

You also want to maintain levels of substances that are effective in increasing sperm cell morphology and motility. These same compounds are used to increase levels of the hormone HGH (human growth hormone) also known as the anti-aging hormone.

To maintain, or help correct, the levels of the necessary elements to fight the effects of Andropause, a compound containing high concentrations of Extract of Indole3Carbinol, Butea Superba, Tribulus Terrestris, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and extracts of Korean Red Gingeng, and L-Argine is taken as a supplement. Another Nutraceutical that being touted as the new wonder element is the rare, expensive compound, available only from France – Pycnogenol. Pycnogenol imparts four basic benefits – it is a powerful anti-oxidant, acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, it binds to collagen and elastin, and finally aids in the production of nitric oxide to help dilate the blood vessels.

Besides absolutely having no side-effects, these active ingredients have been reported as effective for andropause by the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, and the Journal of Urology. Confirmed Results obtained from the Increased Free Testosterone levels are confirmed in documented clinical studies performed at John Hopkins University and the Mayo Clinic.
