Let's take a look at how these products work,
compared to Cialis, and
what makes them effective for hundreds of thousands of men.
Quality impotence/enhancement pills contain a number of
natural ingredients that come from around the world, with proven anecdotal
records of success in increasing libido, empowering sexual drive and
function, and creating greater stamina and erection hardness. However, in
researching this article we focused on ingredients that produce male
impotence results backed by scientific research.
In our quest to find the answer, we
scoured medical research to find any side by side human studies
comparing Cialis to other commonly used herbs or herbal supplement products.
Unfortunately, we were unable to find any side by side studies.
Next we reviewed impotence research
studies for;
- The overall effect various herbal
ingredients had on male impotence
- If an herb has a demonstrated effect as a PDE-5
inhibitor (Viagra, Cialis & Levitra are PDE-5 Inhibitors).
- If an herb facilitated the effect of nitric oxide which
is necessary for an erection (PDE-5 inhibitors facilitate the effect of
Nitric Oxide).
- The effect various herbs had on specific
body functions that are required to produce a strong, firm erection and a
strong sex drive. (i.e. circulatory, vascular, nervous, endocrine system,
muscular system)
We found research studies reported by well
respected Institutes: Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Institute; Institute of Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmacy, Munich,
Germany; University of Peking; National University of Mexico; and others
that demonstrate the positive effect that the proper herbal ingredients
provide treating impotence.
How
Cialis Works
During sexual excitation the erection is
mediated by nitric oxide released from nerve endings close to the blood
vessels of the penis. Relaxation of these vessels causes blood to pool
producing an erection. Cialis works by inhibiting the breakdown of nitric
oxide and thus enhances its effect.

Three Herbs That Enhance Nitric Oxide's Effect Like Cialis
If you are looking for herbal alternatives to
Cialis here are three herbs that you should look for that have a
demonstrated effect on the body's Nitric Oxide usage like Cialis.
Horny Goat Weed
Horny goat
weed contains a prominent flavonoid called icariin.
Icariin is a cGMP-specific PDE5 inhibitor like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
This was demonstrated in a 1984 University of Peking study which concluded:
"Icariin is a cGMP-specific PDE5 inhibitor
that can be developed into an oral effective agent for the
treatment of ED."
Horny goat weed
has been used for for over 2000 years as an sexual and reproductive tonic.
It's acts in multiple ways to increase erection ability, size, and fullness.
Besides it's
PDE-5 inhibitor characteristics it
also has positive effects on the endocrine system functioning as an adaptogen by increasing levels of epinephrine,
norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine when they are low - promoting
energy, but reduces cortisol levels when they are elevated (an
anti-stress effect). High stress conditions, increase cortisol levels
causing fatigue and depressing sex drive.
It also helps restore low levels of both
testosterone and thyroid hormone back to normal - improving sex drive.
Allium Sativum (Garlic)
Yes, Good old garlic. In two different 1998
studies from the National University of Mexico and one from the Institute of
Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmacy, Munich, Germany to Garlic was show
"activate nitric oxide synthase" or enhances the nervous systems
ability to react to nitric oxide.
Also there are multiple studies compiled at
the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute which demonstrate Garlic’s assistance
in both preventing and assisting in curing several medical conditions which
are often the cause of ED. These include high blood pressure, heart disease,
hypertension and artherosclerosis.
Shilajit
Studies in India showed that Shilajit
provided protection to methacrylate against
hydroxyl radical induced polymerization and acted as a reversible nitric
oxide-captodative agent. These findings are consistent with the
therapeutic uses of Shilajit against
oxidative stress and geriatric complaints of erectile dysfunction.
Herbal Nutrients That Promote All Aspects of Male
Health & Naturally Treat Many of The Conditions That Cause ED
There are multiple causes of sexual
dysfunction and low sex drive which may range from mild (low sex drive, weak
erections, lack of energy, slow and weak ejaculation) to severe (total
inability to achieve erection and complete lack of sexual desire).
These include:
- Cardiovascular
- Renal or urological
- Nutritional
(malnutrition, vitamin deficiency)
- Endocrine (hormonal,
i.e. low testosterone or high prolactin are causes Impotence)
- Neurological
- Psychological (stress,
anxiety, etc.)
- Pharmacological
(alcohol, smoking, recreational and prescription drugs)
- Environmental toxins
(lead, herbicides)
- General systemic health problems
By increasing your health in the above areas
you are often able resolve sexual dysfunction issues. This is perhaps where
the greatest benefit that natural herbal supplements provide to a mans total
sexual performance.
Four Herbs Shown
to Be Highly Effective Increasing Libido & Treating Conditions That Cause
Impotence
Mucuna Pruriens
Mucuna Pruriens increases testosterone,
stimulates the production of human growth hormone and acts as a prolactin
inhibitor.
Increased levels of prolactin are considered responsible
for up to 70% of erection failure in males.
In 2002 a U.S. patent was filed on the
use of mucuna pruriens to stimulate the release of growth hormone in humans.
Studies in this patent showed that the high levels of L-dopa in the mucuna seed are converted to dopamine which
stimulates the release of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. L-dopa and
dopamine are also effective prolactin inhibitors.
In one another study, Mucuna Pruriens was
taken by 56 human males and resulted in improved erection, duration of coitus,
and post-coital satisfaction after only four weeks of treatment. It
also showed fertility promoting and spermatogenic effects in men, improving sperm count and motility.
Tribulus Terrestris
Tribulus is a natural testosterone
enhancer and also said to be an excellent circulatory system tonic
and can help build muscles and strength.
Clinical studies on the sexual activity-enhancing effect
of tribulus have shown the herb
to contain protodioscin, a saponin constituent, improving libido
in men with impotence due to various causes; libido in women with menopausal
symptoms; and sperm motility in infertile and subfertile men.
In another study involving 59 men, ages
22-67, suffering from a range of sexual dysfunctions. An increase of sexual
desire and fantasies, as well as sexual self-confidence, were reported in
almost all of the patients. The subjective experience of pleasure, joy and
satisfaction was reported in 80% of the men; erection improved in over 75%
of the men; and the duration of intercourse before ejaculation was prolonged
in 25% of the men.
T ongkat
Ali (Eurycoma longfolia)
Eurycoma
longifolia tree root (long jack root) is a traditional
remedy for fatigue, loss of sexual desire, and impotence used
for centuries in Malaysia.
This amazing plant has only recently been recognized in the west for
it's potency helping sexual performance issues.
The bioactive Glygopeptide compounds
in Tongkat ali are shown to increase free testosterone and decrease SHBG levels in human clinical trials. Both effects assist a mans
erection ability, performance and sex drive.
In the study by Ismail Tamby, MD,
head of the Human Reproductive Specialist Center in Kuala Lumpur,
90% of the
men given Tongkat ali extract (100 to 1) reported a boost in their libido and
73.3% reported improved sexual function.
In human studies results occur after taking Tongkat Ali for more
than one week.
As an added benefit Tongkat Ali contains superoxide dimutase, a
powerful anti-oxidant enzyme that inhibits
the chain reaction of free radicals harmful to the body.
Ashwagandha
Here is what the Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center had to say in their Ashwagandha Clinical Summary.
"It (Ashwagandha) is also used as a general
tonic, to increase energy and improve health and longevity...
Ashwagandha has been shown to exhibit antioxidant effects in the brain and
to have a tranquilizing effect on the central nervous system in animals...
Human study's suggest Ashwagandha may promote growth in children and improve
hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell count and sexual performance in
adults."
What To Look For With A Herbal Impotence Supplement
With so many
herbal "Male Enhancement/Enlargement/Sexual Performance/ Impotence"
products that are advertised, it can get difficult to choose products that can
actually help and are safe. Also some supplements contain herbs that can be
dangerous.

ingredients targeted strictly for ED and enhanced performance. This
may help treat an health issue which may be causing your impotence or
erection quality.
- Make sure
it is manufactured in and shipped from the US
- Review
the ingredients looking for herbs where research substantiates claims such
as the herbs we have listed above.
- Watch out
for potentially dangerous ingredients that are listed on the FDA's
"Ingredients of Concern" such as Yohimbe
- Look for
chemical additives
- All
products should be guaranteed
The above herbs listed represent ones that
have positive demonstrated effects helping treat ED, increasing libido and
energy. As so many men have discovered herbal supplements may be the perfect
Cialis alternative for you.
Summary
Cialis has proven to be an excellent prescription
drug for men with impotence.
Positives: Fast acting and tends to have stronger
24 hour effect than herbs specifically at enabling an erection.
Negatives: Costs, side effects, short term (24
hours) and it only treats the symptom of impotence but does nothing help
causes of impotence, low sex drive or improved body functions.
Specific herbal ingredients contained Herbal Impotence
& Enhancement Products have a demonstrated positive effect on male
impotence. Some herbs act similar to Cialis at enhancing the body's use of
Nitric Oxide.
Positives: Cost, minimal or no side effects, the
positive effects tend to accumulate and become more produced over time.
Dosages can be skipped and benefits are retained. Herbal formulations have
positive benefits on multiple body functions (cardiovascular, endocrine,
muscular and nervous system) that are essential to a strong erection and sex
drive.
Negatives: Immediate short term effect is not as
pronounced as Cialis.
Are Herbal Treatments right for you?
Based on the evidence, there are a number ingredients that have proven
effective for men. However, as with any prescription drug, medical treatment
or supplement individual results vary. Reputable nutraceutical companies
recognize this by providing a money back guarantee and honoring it. So in
many case you can try a supplement to see if it works for your condition.
Zenerx is an herbal product that contains multiple herbs that
have proven to be beneficial to men with Impotence and enhance the body's
use of Nitric Oxide like Cialis. They also have no reported consumer
complaints.
