An estimated 20 to 30 million American men suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED), a term used to signify the inability to attain or maintain erection of the penis sufficient to permit satisfactory sexual intercourse.

ED may be due to organic or psychogenic factors. In the overwhelming majority of cases the cause is organic, i.e., it is due to some physiological dysfunction. In fact, in men over the age of 50, organic causes are responsible for erectile dysfunction in over 90% of cases. The most common organic cause is atherosclerosis of the penile artery. Hence, factors that prevent atherosclerosis also prevent ED.

Often men do not really care much about their health until it affects their sex life. This study should serve as motivation to take steps to improve endothelial cell function. These cells play a role in erectile function by forming nitric oxide. Drugs like Viagra and Cialis increase nitric oxide production by these cells. Nutritional factors that improve endothelial function include the Mediterranean diet; omega-3 fatty acids; dark chocolate and other sources of flavonoids including pomegranates, green tea, red wine, grape seed extract, and legumes; and magnesium.

As far as specific nutritional recommendations for ED, the amino acids arginine and citrulline increase the formation of nitric oxide within blood vessels. Several double-blind studies have shown an ability of these amino acids to improve the hardness of an erection and satisfaction with sexual intercourse. Studies have also shown results are better if arginine or citrulline is combined with either grape seed or pine bark extract. Here are my dosage recommendations:

•L-Arginine or L-Citrulline: 1,600 to 3,200 mg daily

•Grape seed extract or pine bark extract (95% PCO content): 150 to 300 mg daily
