The danger of NO2 supplementation

I don’t know much about Viagra, but it’s only one chemical as far as I know.

Red Panax is what I take, Siberian isn’t even actually ginseng but a related plant.
“Ginseng joins the herbal vasodilator list for erectile health. An energizing tonic and adaptogen, ginseng helps release nitric oxide, which improves blood flow and produces erections. Secondarily, this herb has been reported to help treat anorgasmia and decreased libido. As an adaptogen, it is useful in treating anxiety and stress that can complicate sexual health. Research has demonstrated that panax ginseng (Korean and American) improves NO production and erection capability, while at least one study specified gensenoside content as beneficial to NO production and erectile function.”
From an article posted in this thread: Erectile Dysfunction and Natural Vasodilators.
You may also be interested in Ginko Biloba which is also mentioned with high regard in this article.

My personal daily alchemical woody formula is Cayenne, Ginko, Ginseng, Horney Goat Weed, and Arginine. And when I know I’ll be getting some I’ll even pop a couple Tribulus Terrestris. (which need to be taken sparingly as the body can adapt and then get less benefit from it if taken too often.) I take these because I’m on an anti-depressant which lowers my drive and desire for sex.

Thanks for the 411 redwood.

I’ve been taking siberian ginseng just because of learned routine from years ago for energy. I also take horny goat weed and gingko.

I also take maca, marapuama, 7-keto dhea and anti-estrogen factors (DIM, indole-3-carbinol, Chrysin), plus a regime of blood/circulatory nutrients. Have you tried any of these?

I don’t mean to pry but why are you on anti-depressants? (I have read about the negative side effects of AD’s on sexual desire)
Do you workout to release natural endorphins?

I have followed your postings and feel that you have greatly helped me with your knowledge, so I feel naturally inclined to payback in any way possible, after all, this is a UNITED forum of mens issues and everyone has something to offer.

I’ve dealt with depression on a personal level as well as having a family history of it with 2 sisters suffering from it. From my personal view point, I have solved a lot of my manic depression with studies of metaphysical principals = re-programming the mind (without some outside psycho-babbler). Anytime you wanna talk, I’m here!

gottaB8,

I’ve tried maca & marapuama, which were in the first Horney Goat Weed supplement I took, they did seem to increase the effects.
I haven’t tried any of the others, maybe you can tell me more about them.

The anti-depressant I take is actually prescribed for me for generalized anxiety disorder. I suffered from an occasional panic attack, which was very difficult to control and I couldn’t understand why they happened. I was on Effexor XR over a year ago, and then I was doing good so I went off it. After a traumatic family situation however my disorder returned. I’ve since learned a lot about psychology, metaphysical, self-hypnosis, etc, but the meds do a very good job of keeping the anxiety levels down, and supposedly after 2 years on, it shouldn’t return at all. I do also body build 3 days a week, and with all the other self work I do to boot, I’m doing very well now.

Thanks for the concern. ;)
