- Your heart isn't the only organ that can be affected by this pernicious clogging. The
arteries to your brain and other key body parts, like your legs, can also get clogged with
plaque. Cut off the blood flow to your brain, and the result is a stroke. Limit the flow
to your legs, and you're almost guaranteed to have chronic cramps and leg pain. In men,
too little blood flowing to the penis can cause another related
problem—impotence.

- Vitamins and minerals that
may be helpful:

- Zinc & Magnesium: When it comes to a man's sexual
functioning, zinc is really the last work. Zinc deficiency will likely
impair sexual growth and maturation, because this mineral appears to be essential for the
manufacture of testosterone.
There are another nutrients
essential to erections. Two very important minerals for good health are calcium and
magnesium. We usually think of calcium as primarily needed to make strong bones and teeth,
but it is also important in sexual functioning. Calcium provides an essential link between
the brain, hormonal glands, and the mechanical processes. However, what is important to
realize is that without magnesium, the benefits of calcium are lost because without it,
calcium deposits in soft tissue and forms blockages that can cause erectile problems.
Doctors have long noticed the detrimental effect certain pharmaceuticals have on sexual
function, but have wondered why calcium channel blockers are not among them. They know
calcium is important to sexual performance, and therefore, cannot understand why a drug
which blocks the entry of calcium would not cause problems. The answer to this puzzle is a
diet low in magnesium.
Without calcium interfering,
magnesium dilates the arteries, relieving pressure and blockages. Probably the most
beneficial nutritional discovery of our time is the finding that magnesium is a calcium
channel blocker. 5
The addition of magnesium in a
treatment program for high blood pressure would decrease the need for calcium channel
blockers and their subsequent side effects. 6
So, how bad is this deficiency? It's
dreadful. In a 1982 to 1989 study of a variety of nutritional elements, compared to the
recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences (the people who come up with the
RDAs), it was found that magnesium was low among teenage girls and boys, adult women, and
older men and women. 7 Certainly those of you plagued with sexual
problems should consider upping your intake of magnesium and zinc.

- Herbs that may be helpful:

- Yohimbe dilates blood vessels, making this herb useful for treating male impotence. Yohimbe (the primary active
constituent in yohimbe) has been shown in several double blind studies to help treat men
with impotence;8 9 negative studies have also been reported.9 10 Somewhat
surprisingly, yohimbe appears to help regardless of the cause of impotence. A tincture of
yohimbe bark is often used in the amount of 5–10 drops three times per day. There are
also standardized yohimbe products available for the treatment of impotence. A typical
daily amount of yohimbine is 15–30 mg. It’s best to use yohimbine under the
supervision of a physician. (Research)
Damiana is a traditional herb for men with
impotence. However, no modern studies have confirmed its effectiveness. (Research)
Ginkgo biloba, by
increasing arterial blood flow, may help some impotent men.11 One unblinded
study, involving 30 men who were experiencing erectile dysfunction as a result of
medication use (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and other medications), found that
approximately 200 mg per day of ginkgo had a positive effect on sexual function in 76% of
the men.12 (Research)
Asian ginseng has
traditionally been used as a supportive herb for male potency, although there are no
studies to support this usage.

Arginine/Ornithine helps stimulates the release of growth hormone, which is necessary for
the proper functioning of burning fat and putting on muscle. Current studies support the
use of arginine supplements to ensure that nitric oxide secretion is sufficient to keep
blood flowing to the penis. Nitric oxide insufficiency can stop the penis from becoming
erect. A study published in 1994 showed an 80 percent improvement in the erectile function
of men given 2.8 grams of arginine a day for two weeks.

- Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is produced
naturally in the adrenal glands. Your body's production peaks at about age 25 and declines
as you age. DHEA has been proposed to increase production of testosterone ICF-1 (inulin
like growth factor-1), strengthen the immune system and increase mental alertness.
