Several natural supplements have recently come to light and may provide benefits within days to weeks.
Ginkgo Biloba: Is an herb that is commonly taken as a memory booster and might provide benefits. It supposedly works by increasing the blood flow and seems relatively free of side effects. Ginkgo Biloba reverses sexual problems in 84% of men who were taking antidepressant drugs.
Arginine: Is an amino acid that also enhances blood flow. In a study of 50 men 31% of those with impotence improved after six weeks of taking arginine. The men who might benefit from it are men who have circulatory disorders that could be contributing to sexual problems.
Yohimbe: Some studies have shown that this herb may correct impotence. However, this herb can cause a dangerous rise in blood pressure, as well as anxiety and other side effects. Many doctors prefer the purified form of the herb, the FDA-approved drug yohimbine, instead, because it has a guaranteed purity and potency.
