subject: Rock Hard Erections - Supplements That Work [print this page] There are a lot of supplements on the market that claim to be able to increase the size of your penis. Most of them are just full of rice flour, and they are just scams. However some herbs, vitamins, and minerals can help out in a big way. In this article I will be discussing my favorite male enhancement supplements. The first that I will be discussing is Tribulus Terrestris.
Tribulus has been popular in the United States for the past few decades. It gained its notoriety after Bulgarian powerlifters claimed that it had helped them build strength. Tribulus contains chemicals called steroidal saponins. Steroidal saponins are building blocks that your body uses to produce steroids within the body. In clinical trials and animal studies, tribulus has demonstrated that it has the ability to increase testoterone (by increasing luteinizing hormone) and DHEA (steroid hormone) levels. Testosterone and DHEA can both dramatically increase libido.
The next supplement is L-Arginine. L-Arginine is a non-essential amino acid. It is classified as being non essential because the human body is capable of producing it. However, when taken as a supplement, L-Arginine has been shown to break down and convert into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a signaling chemical, and it tells the smooth muscle around the blood vessels to relax. This results in increased blood flow, which makes it easier to obtain firmer erections. In large quantities, Arginine has also been shown to stimulate the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Do not take Arginine if you have recently suffered a heart attack.
Horny Goat Weed, also known as epimedium, prevents the body from destroying nitric oxide. It does this by inhibiting an enzyme called PDE5 that destroys nitric oxide. The result of this activity is more nitric oxide, and therefore greater circulation, and ultimately firmer erections. Horny Goat Weed also has a testosterone-like effect on the pelvic floor muscles- these are the muscles that contract when a man ejaculates. Toning these muscles can help your erections "stand up" and increase the power of your orgasms.
The final supplement that I am going to discuss is ZMA. ZMA is a combination of zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6. Zinc and magnesium supplementation can help restore and balance testosterone levels. Zinc improves prostate function, and its absence has been implicated as a possible cause of prostate enlargement (BPH). Magnesium can help treat premature ejaculation by triggering the release of nitric oxide and decreasing blood pressure.
I recommend all of these, and you can get them all in Spartan Blend. However, you should consult your physician before starting any supplement regimen.
