Erectile dysfunction
Also known as ED and impotence, the loss of the ability to produce
and/or sustain an erection despite adequate stimulation and interest.

The penis is made up of 3
chambers, two corpora cavernosa – the erectile tissues and
one corpus spongium. Secretion of nitric oxide (NO) leads to
sexual arousal, blood vessels dilate and blood fills the
penis. This typically lasts until arousal is diminished or
orgasm is achieved.
Penile erection is mediated by the nervous system. On
stimulation causes vasodilatation and relaxation of the
cavernosal (penis) smooth muscle, which ultimately leads to
penile erection. Nitric oxide is released from nerve endings
by activating guanylate cyclase and resulting into cGMP
which is the secondary messenger that causes smooth muscles
relaxation leads to venous engorgement and penile
tumescence.
Recent research has helped to change our thinking about the
most common causes of sexual dysfunction. For a long time it
was assumed that almost all erection failures were caused by
psychological factors -- stress, anxiety, and fear. While
these factors can play a significant role, most experts now
believe the major cause of impotence is physical. Simply
stated, anything that interferes with blood flow to the
sexual organs interferes with sexual function.
It was presumed that almost all erection failures were
caused by physiological factors like stress, fear, anxiety
etc. Though these factors play a significant role, recent
researches also indicate impotence as physical inability of
blood flow to the penis. |

Physical causes of erectile dysfunction:
• Excess use of alcohol and tobacco/nicotine
• Fatigue/anxiety/stress
• Brain or spinal-cord injuries
• Low testosterone levels i.e. Hypogonadism
• Parkinson's disease
• Radiation therapy to the testicles
• Heart stroke/s
• Some types of prostate or bladder surgery
• Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar)
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Feelings that can lead to erectile
dysfunction
• Nervousness about sex. It could be a result of bad experience or past
episode of impotence.
• Stress related to work/family
• Problems in the relation with sex partner
• Depression
• Consciousness and negative feelings

Testosterone and Sex Drive
As age increases, men usually suffer from low sex drive, poor stamina
and lack of sexual interest, because most of the testosterone gets bound
by sex hormone building globulin. Only 2% of testosterone are left free
which are responsible for providing the body with energy and sex drive.
Normal men should have 800 free testosterone and lesser number calls for
erectile dysfunction.

Epimedium
Epimedium Or
Horny Goat Weed holds an important place in traditional
Chinese medicine, now gaining popularity throughout the world for its
role in restoring sexual life, boosting erectile function, allaying
fatigue and depression.
Termed as most valuable herbal tonic, epimedium supports healthy sexual
activity, helps boost libido and improve erectile function. It works by
freeing up testosterones which are responsible for sex drive and
endurance. It tones up kidneys and reduces symptoms of impotence,
frequent urination and lower back pain.
Clinical researches prove that epimedium increase sexual activity,
enhance sperm production and have a moderate androgen like influence on
the testes, prostate gland and genital muscles thus influencing desire
and interest for sexual activity.
Researches also show that Epimedium can inhibit an enzyme called
acetylcholinesterase (AChE). By inhibiting AChE, Epimedium supports
higher levels of the key cholinergic neurotransmitters associated with
sexual arousal.
Trials prove that usage of epimedium elevates the levels of
noradrenalin, adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine, thus encouraging
release of LH which in turn stimulates testes to produce more
testosterone. Also associated with stimulation of sensory nerves
particularly genital region.
MACA (Lepidium meyenii)
Maca is an all-natural herbal wonder from Peru with a legendary history
for its use to increase sexual ability, pleasure, endurance, mental
clarity and most important as an aphrodisiac. Maca contains 50 naturally
occurring phyto-chemicals including vital hormonal precursors and
sterols proven to assist the human body. It is also an adaptogen and
creates homeostasis in the body, regulates levels of hormones and
enzymes. Also supports enhanced libido, improved potency, fertility and
increased DHEA & testosterone levels. It helps overcome depression and
alleviate stress.
Maca is a wonderful source of natural vital nutrients.
The synergy of so many amino acids, vitamins, and minerals in their
natural states may increase the assimilation, uptake, and utilization of
them in the body. That’s why Maca is a powerful adaptogen
immunostimulant that help balance our body's systems, stabilize blood
pressure, boost immunity and harmonize the body's overall vitality.
Primary uses of Maca
1. Aid in fertility and as aphrodisiac
2. Energize and revitalize physical and mental strength
Doctor's Comments on Maca
Gary F. Gordon, M.D., former President of the American College for
Advance Medicine, now founder and president of the International College
of Advanced Longetivity Medicine, located in Chicago, Illinois, know
first hand the value of Maca. "We all hear rumors about various products
like Maca," he says. "But using this Peruvian root myself, I personally
experienced a significant improvement in erectile tissue response.”
Dr. Gordon explains that Maca works by normalizing our steroid hormones
like testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen. Therefore it has the
facility to forestall the hormonal changes of aging. It acts on men to
restore them to a healthy functional status in which they experience a
more active libido. While at the same time relaxes the penile muscles
thereby allowing blood flow into the penile muscle tissue causing a hard
erection
