There are multiple causes of impotence and low sex drive, ranging from mild (low sex drive, weak erections, lack of energy, slow and weak ejaculation) to severe (total inability to achieve erection and complete lack of sexual desire). These causes can be: Cardiovascular (i.e. restricted blood flow, high blood pressure, heart disease, hypertension, and atherosclerosis) Renal or urological Nutritional (i.e. malnutrition, vitamin or mineral deficiency) Endocrine (i.e. low testosterone or high prolactin) Neurological Muscular & tissue-related Psychological (i.e. stress, anxiety, etc. Increasing your health in these areas, you can often resolve sexual dysfunction issues. This is perhaps where natural herbal supplements provide the greatest benefit to a man's total sexual performance.  Horny goat weed has been used for over 2000 years as a sexual and reproductive tonic. It acts to increase erection ability, size, and fullness. Horny goat weed contains a flavonoid called icariin. Icariin is a cGMP-specific PDE5 inhibitor like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra, as demonstrated in a 1984 University of Peking study. It also functions as an adaptogen by increasing levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine when they are low-promoting energy-but reduces cortisol levels when elevated (an anti-stress effect), which causes fatigue and depresses sex drive. Finally, horny goat weed can restore low levels of both testosterone and thyroid hormone back to normal, improving sex drive. Yes, good old garlic. In two different 1998 studies-one from the National University of Mexico and another from the Institute of Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmacy in Munich, Germany-garlic was shown to "activate nitric oxide synthase", or enhance the nervous system's ability to react to nitric oxide. Also, there are multiple studies compiled by the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute demonstrating garlic’s aid in preventing and having curative effects on several medical conditions which often cause ED. These conditions include high blood pressure, heart disease, hypertension and atherosclerosis.
