Whether they are food supplements or more exotic substances, aphrodisiacs have been scientifically studied in erectile dysfunction. Their help in the accompaniment is real.
At the congress of the Association Française d’Urologie which is currently being held in Paris, a paper presented by Dr Charlotte Methorst, urologist at St Cloud, was devoted to aphrodisiacs.
In erectile dysfunction, food supplements have been the subject of studies of course on small numbers, but serious, whether in animals or in humans and we have the impression that it works. Why ? Because these supplements act on the pathway of nitric oxide, NO. These are donors of NO, such as L-Arginine, Tribullus or MACA which allow better vascularization of the penis and therefore a better erection.
Does it work on its own? It is obvious that in our vascular patients, diabetics, or after major pelvic surgery, treatment on its own cannot be effective, but it is a treatment that will accompany it.
Patients go on the internet to search for such drugs, especially since there are many advertisements in newspapers where they find these products. The danger of these molecules lies in their origin and the fact of buying them anywhere: either they are devoid of active principle, which is not so serious, or they contain excipients which will be dangerous, such as high-dose IPDE5 (phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors) and may cause side effects specific to these drugs. But treatments like NO donors like L-Arginine or Tribullus well there is no danger in taking them.
