Doctor Reveals 5 Nutritions That Make Man Erection Stronger And Longer Lasting

JAKARTA - Supplement is very easy to find nowadays. Many supplements claim to increase sexual arousal and help you get a stronger and longer-lasting erection.

Dr. Nathan Starke, an urologist and director of the Minister of Health Clinic in Houston Methodist, said that his patients often ask about supplements. Although most supplements are generally safe for many people, he still suggests being careful in consuming them.

"My character when a man asks about these supplements is, 'Just drink it, and if you feel helped, most likely it's more because of the psychological effects," said Dr. Starke, quoted from the Men's Health page.

However, there are several supplements that can be dangerous. Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt, an urologist from Orlando Health says taking supplements that contain dangerous health can have an impact on sexual health.

There are also several supplements that can support overall body health, which also affects sexual function. Here are 5 supplements that can make men more erectile and last longer.

1. Omega-3

Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for the heart and erection. Research on the benefits of fish oil for the heart is still limited. But if it proves to be good for the heart, then this can help with an erection.

Dr. Jamin Brahmhatt, an urologist from Orlando Health, said that changing a healthy lifestyle will increase blood flow and widen blood vessels.

The 'blood clots in the penis are the smallest in the body. They are the easiest to block,' said Dr. Guarantee.

So, facilitating blood flow will help with an erection. Omega-3 also reduces inflammation and blood clots, which can help facilitate blood flow. Even though it is available in supplement form, the best source remains a diet like fatty fish.

2. L-Arginine

Dr. Brahmhatt says L-arginine is an important amino acid that is good for heart health and erectile. A study in the journal Andrology found men with severe erectile dysfunctions had significantly lower levels of L-arginine than those with milder symptoms.

L-arginine is converted to nitric oxide, a compound that relaxes fine muscles and allows greater blood flow to the penis. Drugs such asiris and Cialis work by keeping nitric oxide levels high.

L-arginine is found in high protein foods such as red meat, poultry, nuts, and dairy products. According to the Mayo Clinic, this supplement is generally safe, but people who take blood pressure drugs need to consult a doctor first.

"If you are taking blood pressure medication, combining it with L-arginine can cause blood pressure to drop drastically. This can make you faint, even risk a stroke," said Dr. Brahmhatt.

If you want to try, he recommends an initial dose of about 6 grams per day. But pay attention to side effects such as nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, or bloating stomach.

3. L-Citrulline

Dr. Peter Tumbilis of Northwestern Medicine said L-citrulline can also help increase the erection because it will be converted by the body into L-arginine. This compound also increases nitric oxide production.

"Nitric oxide plays a role in vasodilatation, namely the widening of blood vessels that initiate and maintain an erection," said Dr. Michael Eisenberg of Stanford Medicine.

4. Vitamin D

Dr. Brahmhatt said several studies showed men who lacked vitamin D were more susceptible to erectile dysfunction. This is likely due to low levels of vitamin D associated with diseases such as hypertension,tender heart disease, and other blood flow disorders.

Although it can be obtained from foods such as salmon and eggs, as well as sun exposure, most people lack vitamin D, especially in areas with little sunlight.

Brianna Elliott, a nutritionist, added that short-term deficiencies could worsen conditions, including erectile dysfunction. The daily dose recommended by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is 600 IU. However, the Endocrine Society recommends up to 2,000 IU per day, depending on the need.

"This could be a great topic to discuss at your next doctor's visit," Elliott said.

Tests of vitamin D levels are easy to do, and from there you can get the right dose advice.

5. Folate acid (Vitamin B9)

Dr. Tsaillis says folic acid can also help with sexual health. Some studies show folate supplements can improve sexual performance by lowering levels of homosistein, amino acids found to be higher in men with erectile dysfunction than men without erectile problems.

"In general, the best supplement for your sex life is lifestyle change," said Dr. Starke.

Healthy diets, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management will have a big impact on health.

"Overall health is closely related to sexual health. Anything good for the heart is also good for sexual function," explains Dr. Eisenberg.

"Until now, diets and sports consistently beat supplements in terms of effects on sexual performance." added Dr. Tsaillis.
