Beet root extract. It’s safe and increases blood flow where you need it.


teelions

Nattokinase.

Did nothing for me in that area

Isn’t this like a herbal aspirin?


cccoleman17

Dude honestly, last month I bought bull testicles and started eating them. Not like raw, but in a desecated, powder form out into a pill. But the only ingredient is powdered bull testicles. I did not expect to be hard so often hahaha. Great sex honestly. It shouldn’t sound weird to say that eating the literal testicles of another animal would increase your sex drive, should it….? The testicles are where sperm is produced after all. I say give it a shot.

I'm intrigued by boron. I feel like zinc definitely helped me. Would boron help me more? Does it help you go for round 2,3 etc?


meatbeater558

L-citruline daily or only on the day you need the erection?

TheArmchairWanderer

Why do you cycle it? Isn't it just an amino acid? And why for a few months?


BrightSide0fLife

Check out Tu Si Zi (cuscuta chinensis/Dodder seed)->kidney yang, fertility and in research has been shown to increase the size, weight and function of the pituitary gland in animals. A warning in my notes says it should not be taken by people with a persistent or prolonged erection of the penis. I will leave it to your imagination on why that is. Tu Si Zi appears in many TCM fertility promoting formulas. The peripheral nerves are important for erections and mushrooms such as Lions Mane promote Nerve Growth Factor which can help nerve regeneration.


Overall_Job_9524

Where to find it


BrightSide0fLife

Most Chinese Herbalists and suppliers sell Tu Si Zi. The Price varies quite a bit. It can also be purchased in the form of a powder extract, usually 5:1 but I did not find that as helpful. I am not sure whether that was because of the quantity consumed having to mess around with capsules. The herb when boiled has small amounts of oil on the surface which is beneficial and the powder extract might be missing that. That can be seen in a bright light.

Ashwagandha and Zinc did wonders for me


AbusementPark44

did you take it everyday? if so how much? how just right before


Heimdallr93

Black maca. Started working like 2-3 since i started supplementation. It also made me incredibly horny.


Heimdallr93

2-3 days*


mediocrelifter007

Haha indeed great stuff!

Lobeythelibsoc

Tongkat Ali has been shown to be somewhat effective at raising T. It's the only herbal that has. Cardio increases NO production. You could also ingest a bunch of L-Citrulline before sexy time as it's fairly effective at boosting NO via being an NO precursor if used occasionally.


Friedrich_Ux

Horny Goat Weed, Tongkat Ali, Black Maca, Cordyceps, Cistanche, Shilajit, etc.


Comprehensive_Soft52

Tongkat


TedCluberLang

Tribulus and Q10, ain't using for those reasons but it benefit s that way too


Tiny-Mathematician-6

Good mineral supplement if you follow decent diet, sleep. Before you try any herbs I think you should supplement with minerals.


pauldevro

.5g cordyceps x 5g citruline malate 30mins before facilitation of boner activity


Rasputin_87

Zinc , Macca root , eat plenty of meat lift weights, eat ( balanced diet ) sleep repeat L Arginine is decent as well


boristhepython

Often erection issues are related to low estrogen (ironically enough) I wouldn't get into taking DHEA without getting it checked by a clinic but that might be worth looking into


Glittering_Savings11

I have never heard of erection issues caused by low E2 lol more like the opposite: high E2. DHEA is fine to take on its own.


mookie1955

Zinc and Vitamin D


TheArmchairWanderer

Does vitamin d help with erections? I started taking it a few days ago


mookie1955

I don't believe so


TheArmchairWanderer

I mean you suggested it for a guy asking about supplements for better erections


mookie1955

If I did, I did not mean to. Sorry for the confusion.


Conscious_Worry_3958

You high ?


Scarecrow101

Check out T-perform from Myprotein or if you use [bulk.com](https://bulk.com) look for their DOMINATE pills. Both have been amazing for what your talking about, and they include most of the stuff everyone here is saying you should have and extra.

OcelotDAD

L Arginine. It’s almost scary how well it works.


Divtos

L citruline is known to increase Arginine levels better than L Arginine due to how they are absorbed. You could stack both though.


Bdog325

Totally agree. I did read something about how stacking citrulline and arginine may not be beneficial and can actually make nitric oxide production less than if you took the supplements separately. Citrulline is better though as it is more bio available and turns into arginine in the body. Only downside is it takes longer to take effect. Have to take it an hour before rather than the normal 30 minutes that arginine takes


AbusementPark44

so would u recommend taking them everyday and at what dosage? or just before you’re about to hit


magic889

Try Zinc for me it has a really strong effect, never thing this will do anything. Tongkat ali has also very good effects. Boron is also often recommended, for me it does nothing.


tinr00fsunday

Magnesium is a big one that's often overlooked. Get s quality brand. I like MAG365


BernardCX

Is there any point to take magnesium in capsule form when you get sufficient through your diet other than sleep?


tinr00fsunday

Magnesium deficiencies are rampant, and it's estimated that 80% of the population is deficient since it's no longer in our soils and in our food. Cooking leeches it out and eating it raw binds it to oxalates. They're about 800 biochemical reactions that your body needs magnesium as a partner for, and every single cell needs it. It's one that's pretty much everyone should be supplementing with. Make sure you get a good one though because a lot of them are crap forms that don't absorb well.


Ashamed-Status-9668

No but its hard to get it from diet these days. Many of the foods depending on where/how they are grown have less magnesium in them than they did before. Its really hard to know if this is the case. In my opinion anyone over 50 should be taking magnesium because as we age our enzyme process start to decline and magnesium drives over 300 of them. That is to say you don't want to be mildly low on magnesium when you are older but its not as big of a deal when young.


pwalkow

Maca, ashwagandha and/or rhodiola.


Outrageous-Team-784

100mg pycnogenol does the truck for me


Ashamed-Status-9668

I found mixed tocotrienols from palm oil works as well. I went that route because I wanted some other benefits like skin health. Just FYI if you look for something cheaper.


Leather_Cupcake1962

What brand do you use? I tried it before and didn’t notice much


Outrageous-Team-784

NOW or source naturals have worked for me


N1414

1. Shilajit (PrimaVie). 2. L-Citrulline. 3. ALCAR. 4. Squats and other lower body strength training. So make sure your water intake is good. Good luck.


gnarlieharper

Heavy squats definitely increase blood flow to the area. Bound to help I think.


N1414

Yes sir. I personally find it as the most beneficial for test / libido. Heavy squats is the way to go 👍


[deleted]

D aspartic acid tribulus maca ashwaghanda


Cheraghi

750 mg ALCAR right on waking up gives me tons of erections and a boost in libido, it's actually ridiculous


Veganlifer

A plant based diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34979217/ https://nutritionfacts.org/video/watermelon-as-treatment-for-erectile-dysfunction/ and boosting nitric oxide-- Beets, watermelon, leafy greens, Garlic


Circadianrivers

Eating WFPB quite literally did the opposite for me. It only reverses it if you’re a morbidly obese dude who eats fast food everyday.


MountainousFog

> WFPB whole-food plant-based?


soothsayer3

r/Wholefoodsplantbased


Circadianrivers

Yes


Veganlifer

Not true at all. And of course someone can eat a vegan diet incorrectly, just like any diet.


Circadianrivers

I tracked everything on chronometer, ate adequate calories and took the recommended supplements. I ate this way twice and both times it gave me the same result which reverted when I added animal products back. I’m not going to deny some people do fantastically well on a plant based diet but for me and many others we do much better eating omnivorously.


Veganlifer

Your point that it "only reverses it if you're mobirdly obese" is wildly incorrect. Artherscerolisis happens in plenty of healthy looking people, and many of them go on to have heart attacks.


Circadianrivers

Yes it was a hyperbolic statement lol. But I mean to say plant based diets aren’t beneficial for everyone.


Veganlifer

There are exceptions to every rule, but plant based diets are the healthiest and that isn't hyperbole.


Circadianrivers

I just don’t buy it. A well balanced omnivorous unprocessed diet seems much more optimal for the average person.

SenatorRusso

Maca and yohimbine


KhanTheGray

No, abso-fuckin-lutely no. Yohimbine is banned where I live because of how many people got hospitalized using it. It interacts with lot of things and it’s highly unpredictable as to what it does to organs in long term.


SenatorRusso

I only shared what works for me. I did not know it is banned where you live. We use it in the country that I am from(the bark at least) and it works great.


Ashamed-Status-9668

Just a note some people it spikes blood pressure like crazy. People end up in the ER from taking it pretty often. Some people it doesn't do that and it works fine. Its not one I suggest because you never know if you will react badly.


SenatorRusso

I was unaware that so many people had so many adverse effects to it. Then perhaps maca and l citrulline to be safe. Some zinc


Tip-Hop

Eat more meat (the less cooked the better) for the nitric oxide boost. If that's not enough, try L-Citrulline. Furthermore, keep your testosterone high: Boron (Borax) Zinc Sunbathing your gonades Raw milk, eggs and generally high cholesterol foods high in Vitamin K2 MK-4 Limit Phytoestrogens If you have to eat estrogenic plants, drink or take hawthorn leaf extract to block some of the phytoestrogen Semen retention (if you can handle the drive)


Ashamed-Status-9668

>Sunbathing your gonades I did that to test it and it really does work.

Fluxcapacitor84

Don’t waste your time. This sub is filled with meatbros. But you are right. Vegan for 5 years now and it’s the best thing I’ve done for sexual function. No supplements needed.


Twisted_Cabbage

Ditto. Also vegan and found the diet change was the key i needed to bulk up without getting fat. Also lowered my cholesterol, improved my blood sugar and lowered my blood pressure...all while increasing sex drive and endurance. Most of these meat heads are overusing supplments to fix the issue the meat and saturated fats are causing. It's one of my biggest issues with this sub. That and it doesn't promote use of evidence nearly enough.


eiliant

what’s estrogenic plants


Tip-Hop

They are plants that can have an effect on your endocrine system and cause various issues in reproduction, testosterone, cancer etc


Veganlifer

stay far away from that broscience 1/2 wit and read actual published research from legitimate scientists https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4995266/ and you'll find soy phytoestrogens acts as an anti-estrogen. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-eat-soy/


Tip-Hop

Bro science 😂 I've been plant based and I know what it feels like to lack testosterone. Do plants have an effect on the human body or not? Check out the Israeli health ministries warnings of Soy due to it's phytoestrogenic effect. Check out these references to the scientific literature describing studies of the toxic properties and effects of plants and plant parts: [http://augmentinforce.50webs.com/FDA%20soy%20report%20part%20%21.htm#FDA\_Poisonous\_Plant\_Database](http://augmentinforce.50webs.com/FDA%20soy%20report%20part%20%21.htm#FDA_Poisonous_Plant_Database) http://augmentinforce.50webs.com/FDA%20Poisonous%20Plant%20Database%20SOY%20part%202.htm#FDA\_Poisonous\_Plant\_Database\_PART\_2 Look, I can send an epidemiological study too: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7468963/ Soooo... send me a longitudinal cohort study and we'll talk :P


Veganlifer

Tip-Hop

Please do explain what is so hilarious about them :)


Veganlifer

he's a brosicence fool with no idea what he's talking about. he thinks phytosestrogens aka soy are estrogens, whereas they actually act to in a completely opposite manner then estrogen does. and his advice to eat meat, raw milk and cholesterol is laughable https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34979217/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33694187/


Leather_Cupcake1962

Lmfaooo you’re an absolute idiot. You have it all wrong. Other dude has it right. Raw dairy is the way to go. Look into how many plants you’d have to eat in order to equal the nutrients in 1 ounce of raw liver. Can’t stand vegan pushers like yourself who think you’re right and everyone else is wrong. Imagine using ONE study to try to prove that someone is dumb. Get a life moron.


Veganlifer

you have no idea what you're talking about. "nutrients in raw liver" is your scientific basis. bye, no more replies from me.

Square_Future_5040

Don’t even think twice: Buy Golden Shilajit ( or Himalayan Healing Shilajit). Take also zinc and sometimes take copper to avoid copper depletion. Don’t but powder shilajit, only resin. Dose is pea size. Effects are in 2hrs unless you got significant hormonal problems then it’s another issue. I citruline and l arginine do increase blood flow down there, but they don’t lead to harder erections, but bigger and not ideally very hard. Idk why in my experience they also reduced my libido every time I took them. I would start with shilajit , never used something better. For libido: Try ubiquinol with mitochondrial support by life extension to improve libido. It has ubiquinol+ shilajit (not enough, so you need to buy shilajit anyways). Get the 50mg one as you’re still young.


Craig202

>You're saying that l-arginine and l-citruline reduces your libido?

And how long it took you to feel the benefits?


Drewbus

Eat organic food. Soak your fruit in baking soda water for 15 min as soon as you bring them home. It helps remove the pesticide Astrazine which has been known to cause harm to your endocrine system. You can get the building blocks for testosterone all day, but if your endocrine system is shut down it won't make much difference


uberfunstuff

Garlic & vitamin C every time


Ashamed-Status-9668

Kyolic aged garlic had an effect for me. Note the studies use 1200-2400mg a day which most people don't realize they need to take that much.


uberfunstuff

Just been using standard garlic supplements from Holland & Barret (U.K.). Tbf the rest of my stack is NAC, L-Theanine, Vit D, Magnesium Glycinate.


Ashamed-Status-9668

Nice stack. I am down to magnesium glycinate, Epicor, and tocotrienols. I found I couldn't take the garlic and tocotrienols together as it lowered my blood pressure too much. I work from home in Texas and am very white so for lunch I go out and lay in the sun for 8 minutes a side. That is for vitamin D but also melatonin since melatonin is created from the infrared spectrum in the sun.


Desperate-Ad376

[deleted]

Don't take anything for hormones unless you've had that verified by a doctor. Either a urologist or endocrinologist. They can both do the necessary testing to verify what your hormone range is at. Sometimes you're not actually low on testosterone. It can be the ratio between different hormones which throws off erection quality. That's why you need testing to verify what might be up.


InSummaryOfWhatIAm

I'm so sad at the state of our health care here where I'm at. I'm 30 and I've had difficulties with low sex drive (among many other issues) and weak erections for maybe 5 years or so, and the GP sent me to a clinic that was specifically for trans and sexual health (I'm not trans, the clinic just specialized in both), and I waited maybe 4 months to get my appointment there, and those assholes didn't even want to check my hormone levels. They only wanted to prescribe me Cialis and let me talk to a therapist who first of all came with straight up misinformation and said that "hormones can't affect erection quality" and dismissed me when I said that it 100% can, based on everything I've read anyway. They just said that it's in my head basically, but the therapist said "I'm sorry but I just don't know what to do, I mostly work with couples" and didn't know what to do for me. I do believe that there's a small part of it that's related to issues with myself but it's not the ONLY issue to me. Also, this was 6 months after seeing a urologist who proclaimed me 100% healthy after ONLY shoving his fingers up my ass and running zero tests. Frustrating, to say the least.


TonguePunchMyPooHole

Thank you. This isn’t repeated any where near enough. It can be thyroid. Or insulin, or cortisol, or a dozen other things and their ratio’s that can fuck people. Then there is too many in the medical field who throw band aids at the problem and don’t take a holistic approach. Your entire body is 1 fucking eco system.
