How Natural Penis Enhancement Pills Work
Years ago, men in our culture pretty much accepted
whatever they were dealt in the sexual department, and they certainly didn't
talk about their problems or concerns. Today, men aren't willing to live
with uncertainty, embarrassment or feelings of inadequacy when it comes to
sex -- and fortunately, they've found there really is something they can do
about it. With the advent of prescription drugs for impotence, men began to
question their long-held beliefs that sexual problems were just something
you had to learn to live with (or deny). But prescription drugs aren't for
everyone, and indeed, most men have concerns that can be addressed more
simply and inexpensively than with doctor's office visits and subsequent
pharmaceutical prescriptions.
Now men have another option: all-natural male enhancement
supplements. Anyone who's been watching TV or using the Internet lately
knows these products are out there, but few know how they work or which
products do work.
So let's take a look at how these products do the job and
what makes them effective for hundreds of thousands of men.
Quality male enhancement pills contain a number of
botanical and 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.
Today, even medical doctors, typically resistant to herbal and naturopathic
healing, now endorse natural formulas for male sexual enhancement.
The best formulas out there contain scientifically
tested, potent aphrodisiac herbal concentrates from China, Europe and South
America to successfully stimulate sexual activity, maintain a firm erection
and increase sexual pleasure.
First, they promote peripheral tissue vasodilation to
improve arterial erectile function. The ingredients have a direct effect on
the endothelial cells, which enhances blood flow of both penile arteries and
veins without any change in the systemic blood pressure. Some formulas also
have the ability to relax and tonify the nervous system, which is necessary
to deal fully with psychological stressors present.
When looking for a good supplement, you may come across
many of the same ingredients in many of them -- however, keep in mind that
it is not only the specific components, but the blends, proportions and
formulation that make a difference. Here are some of the herbs commonly
used, and their effects in the male body:
- Epimedium Leaf Extract
Epimedium was discovered in 200 BC. Legend has it that an ancient
Chinese goat herder noticed that his flock suddenly became sexually
active after grazing in a certain patch of weed. The Chinese consider
Epimedium to be the premier libido lifter for men. It is also reputed to
have a testosterone effect, to stimulate the sensory nerves and restore
sexual desire. After centuries of use in China, top medical doctors now
report that Epimedium can be used to boost libido, improve erectile
function, restore sexual power and increase sensation. Scientifically,
Epimedium works by freeing up testosterone, which naturally increases
sex drive and endurance.
- Cuscuta Seed Extract
Cuscuta is frequently used in long-term tonic programs, most commonly to
strengthen the uro-genital functions. It is used to treat premature
ejaculation, frequent urination and leukorrhea as well as aching lower
back, symptoms that often accompany deficient kidney conditions which
cause sexual weakness. Cuscuta seed is also widely used to nourish the
sperm and marrow and strengthen sinews of the sexual organs. It is used
to increase fertility in both men and women, and is listed as an
aphrodisiac in all traditional Chinese pharmacopoeias.
- Ginko Biloba Leaf
For over 5,000 years, Ginkgo has been prescribed in Chinese herbal
medicine. In the last 30 years, more that 300 studies have given
clinical evidence that Ginkgo prevents and benefits many problems
throughout the entire body. Ginkgo is gaining recognition as a brain
tonic that enhances memory because of its positive effects on the
vascular system, especially in the cerebellum. Ginkgo improves
peripheral circulation, oxygenation, and increases blood flow to the
genitals to improve sexual function and the power of an erection. In a
recent scientific study, 78% of men with non-medically caused impotence
problems reported significant improvement - significantly, with no side
effects. Ginkgo has been shown to be nutritional support for mental
alertness, enhanced vitality level, circulatory health and blood vessel
health. Note that its high antioxidant activity is valuable for fighting
age-related conditions. Ginkgo may help to counteract the effects of
aging, including mental fatigue and lack of energy.
- Asian Red Ginseng - Panax Ginseng
Ginseng is traditionally used to overcome general weakness and deliver
extra energy. It also has aphrodisiacal powers. Used to combat non
medically caused impotence, and premature ejaculation, Ginseng helps
normalize blood pressure while rejuvenating and revitalizing the body.
It also promotes the growth of nerve tissue. A key ingredient of Ginseng
is ginsenoside, which alters blood flow to the brain and penis and can
build blood and sperm. Russian scientists have reported and recorded
that Ginseng stimulates both physical and mental activity, enhances
athletic performance and has a positive effect on the sex glands.
- Saw Palmetto Berry - Fructus Serenoae
Native Americans and early American settlers used Saw Palmetto to treat
problems associated with the genitals, urinary tract and reproductive
system. This herb is called the "plant catheter" due to its
therapeutic effect on the neck of the bladder and the prostate in men.
Saw Palmetto is widely used in Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom and
the U.S. for nutritionally benefiting the prostate and urinary tract.
Saw Palmetto is a tonic, and is one of the few herbal remedies that are
considered to be anabolic -- strengthening and building body tissues.
The Saw Palmetto berries have long held a reputation as sexual
stimulants and aphrodisiacs. Their largest use today is as a supplement
for reducing enlarged prostate glands, treating urinary tract problems
and for improving body strength. Saw Palmetto has shown significant
action in treatment of conditions associated with benign prostatic
hypertrophy (BPH). Saw Palmetto extract works to prevent testosterone
from converting into dihydrotestosterone, the hormone thought to cause
prostrate cells to multiply which leads to an enlarged prostate. Saw
Palmetto inhibits androgen and estrogen receptor activity and may be
beneficial for both sexes in balancing the hormones. Because of its
hormonal effects, Saw Palmetto can aid the thyroid in regulating sexual
development and normalizing activity of those glands and organs.
- Muira Pauma Bark Extract
Muria Puama is an herb from a shrub native to Brazil, otherwise known as
"Potency Wood". Both verbal and written historical records
show that Muria Puama helps with lack of sexual desire and the
difficulty to maintain erection. Muria Puama is used to restore sexual
virility and to treat genital weakness "of intent", meaning
the strength associated with sexual desire and potency in men. The
textbook Specific Indications for Herbs in General Use, published by the
Southwest School of Botanical Medicine, lists benefits of Muria Puama to
these specific body systems: Improvement in reproductive system
function, adrenal stress, cardiovascular system function, central
nervous system activity, renal activity, and thyroid stress. Recent
clinical studies further validate the potency of Muria Puama.
- Catuaba Bark Extract
Catuaba has a long history in herbal medicine as a male 'strengthener'
and aphrodisiac. The Tupi Indians in Brazil first discovered the
qualities of the Catuaba plant and over the last centuries, have
composed many songs praising its wonders. Indigenous people and local
people have used Catuaba for generations and it is the most famous of
all Brazilian aphrodisiaca plants. In the state of Minas there is a
saying which goes, "Until a father reaches 60, the son is his,
after that the son is Catuaba's." According to Dr. Meira Penna,
Catuaba "functions as a stimulant of the nervous system, above all
when one deals with functional impotence of the male genital organs...
it is an innocent aphrodisiac, used without any ill effects at
all." In Brazilian herbal medicine today, Catuaba is regarded as an
aphrodisiac with "proven efficacy." Herbalists and health
practitioners in the United States use Catuaba regularly as a tonic for
genital function, as a central nervous system stimulant, and for
treatment of sexual non medically caused impotence. According to Michael
van Straten, noted British author and researcher of medicinal plants,
Catuaba is beneficial to both men and women as an aphrodisiac, but
"it is in the area of male impotence that the most striking results
have been reported" and "there is no evidence of side effects,
even after long-term use."
- Hawthorn Berry - Fructus Crataegi
This phytochemical, with exceptional preventive capacities, comes from
the hawthorn tree. Hawthorn is rich in bioflavonoids, which relax and
dilate the arteries. These compounds are powerful antioxidants that help
increase the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart. This reduces the
work required by the heart to circulate blood, and in- turn this reduces
blood pressure and stress to the heart muscle. The bioflavonoid
substances in Hawthorn give strength to the walls of blood vessels and
improve blood flow to other areas of the body. Components in Hawthorn
have also been shown to lower cholesterol, and the amount of plaque in
arteries. Officially approved for pharmaceutical use in Germany,
government studies show the Hawthorn plant to be completely free of any
side effects. European studies have shown that the Hawthorn botanical
increases blood flow to the heart and brain, protects the heart from
irregular beats, enhances the strength of the heart's contractions, and
mildly lowers blood pressure.
Other botanicals appear in male sexual aids, as well; its
advisable to research the effects. The ingredients shown above are the
"gold standard" however; they can be found in the correct
proportions in a very popular supplement called VigRX™.
It goes to work directly within the male genitalia, with effects on hormonal
levels, blood flow and the responsive cells of the penis. The VigRX™
supplement is probably one of the best out there, given its proprietary
formula in which ingredients are correctly proportioned and then made into
tablets in a certified pharmaceutical grade laboratory. The company that
produces VigRX™
has been in business for years, right from the beginning of this
breakthrough in male enhancement products.
When choosing a male enhancement formula, keep in mind
these criteria: quality, guaranteed potency, guarantee of satisfaction, full
disclosure of ingredients and a good track record of customer results.
Again, the products do work and draw on the experience of centuries of
herbal and natural medicinal supplements -- but choose carefully. It's your
body, and you want only the best for it! If you are having difficulties
knowing which product to try, we recommend and stand behind VigRX™
for both performance and customer service.
