Many men may experience sexual dysfunction, which is associated with a number of reproductive problems such as erectile dysfunction, delayed ejaculation or pain during intercourse. Luckily, there is a selection of foods that are rich in vitamins and other substances that will help to promote natural male enhancement. Note that alternative treatments should never replace conventional treatment. Speak with your doctor before taking any supplement.
Saw palmetto
In the beginning of the 1900s, American men started using saw palmetto to treat reproductive issues as they were effective in treating urinary tract problems, boosting libido and also enhancing the production of sperm. The University of Maryland Medical Center says you should take 160 mg of saw palmetto two times every day via liquid extract or capsules if your sexual problems are the result of a prostate disease. This herb may interact with other medications so speak with a health care professional before supplementing it into your diet.
Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo biloba relieves sexual disorders such as erectile dysfunction by dilating your blood vessels and thereby enhancing blood circulation, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Ginkgo also helps to improve sexual function in men. Take around 50 to 100 mg of ginkgo daily through extracts, tablets or teas. Ginkgo may interact with blood-thinning medications.
Foods Rich in Vitamin C
Good dietary sources of vitamin C include red or green peppers, cranberries, winter squash, oranges, citrus fruits, mango, spinach, kiwi, watermelon, tomatoes, cabbage and pineapple. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, you should take about 250 to 500 mg of vitamin C one or two times daily to help increase blood flow, treating poor blood circulation which can cause an erectile dysfunction.
Foods Rich in Vitamin E
Sources of vitamin E include foods such as sunflower seeds, spinach, corn, wheat germ or nuts, according to MedlinePlus, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, preventing the formation of free radicals, dangerous molecules which contribute to many underlying medical conditions like cancer and arthritis. The University of Maryland Medical Center says vitamin E can help to support the production of various sex hormones during a sexual dysfunction and recommends consuming around 400 IU of vitamin E every day.
