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 did not talk about their problems
or concerns. Today, men are not willing to live with uncertainty, embarrassment
or feelings of inadequacy when it comes to sex -- and fortunately, they have
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 are not for everyone, and indeed, most men have
concerns that can be addressed more simply and inexpensively than with doctors
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.
