Viagra™ versus Herbal Alternatives
The main substance acting as a trigger to help erections is called nitric oxide (NO).
During sexual stimulation, nerves in the penis release this nitric oxide.
Nitric oxide converts the chemical GTP to cyclic GMP, which causes the rods of spongy tissue within the penis
to fill with blood and become erect.
Without Nitric Oxide there would be no erections.
Herbal alternatives contain natural ingredients that are the primary source of nitrogen molecules for Nitric Oxide.
Like nitric oxide, Viagra also works by increasing levels of cyclic GMP in the penis.
But whether a Viagra™ user is drunk, hung over or just fat and after a big meal,
Viagra™ can usually overcome the lack of oxygen in the brain or the demand for blood during the digestive process.
Not so with herbal alternatives.
The kick in the libido from herbal sex enhancers is a bit more subtle, which makes herbal alternatives work less effective
than the synthetic drug for impotence.
For the most part, herbal alternatives are distillants from the roots and leaves of plants and trees,
which are often enriched with amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients.
The functionality of herbal extracts, in part, is to increase blood flow,
not just to the genitals, but to all parts of the body, including the brain.
Unlike with Viagra™, also other positive effects have been noticed, including increased energy,
enhanced recovery and growth from exercise, and greater sense of well being.
Typically the greatest increase in sex drive is experienced by herb users
with little to overcome, like health or head problems,
the effects of bad habits like drinking, smoking, drugs or overeating.
A body in good shape with good circulation will high likely feel the
effects of increased blood oxygen and testosterone and increased blood flow.
Unlike Viagra™, herbal aphrodisiacs are available without prescription.
Nonetheless, herbal substitutes for Viagra™ do provide an alternative
for determining the liability of alternative methods of achieving added sexual prowess
without incurring the disadvantages of the blue pill.
