Is there an otc alternative to viagra?

So, you’re missing the good old times in bed? Or maybe your partner is a bit unsatisfied with the ongoing situation- You got us! We know how that can feel like, and we think it’s time for a change. But wait, are you reluctant to go see a doctor or try any prescription medication? Well, nobody wants to hop on the blue pill train if they don’t need to. That’s why in this article (get ready), we will introduce you to some OTC alternatives that can spice things up!

A Quick Overview of Erectile Dysfunction

Before getting into details about potential OTC erectile dysfunction treatments (Ooooh yeah), let’s quickly discuss what erectile dysfunction (ED) is all about.

ED (what else) occurs when men struggle with achieving or maintaining erections during sexual activity. It affects over 50% of men between 40 and 70 years old globally (we mean come on!), but ED can affect younger men as well.

Often caused by physical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or psychological issues such as anxiety and depression; regardless of its cause – it surely affects one’s quality of life (and definitely not in a good way). However – before you lose hope: there are more options out there than just prescription drugs.

What Are Over-The-Counter Alternatives To Viagra?

Viagra has been around since ’98 and was shown effective at helping treat ED cases. Since then its popularity skyrocketed due mainly because nothing beats hard-on pills advertisements…Joking aside though our traditional view of medicine sometimes might get limited by those commercials which were created by downright genius marketers…

Therefore grabbing some natural remedies from your local drugstore aisle doesn’t sound half bad right now – does it?

DHEA

DHEA stands for Dehydroepiandrosterone. We know – a mouthful but bear with us (as we will avoid too much medical jargon). Our body naturally produces it in the adrenal glands, and it helps produce testosterone which increases libido.

Although its effects are mild, studies conducted argue that DHEA consumption can help some men treat ED symptoms (especially those caused by low testosterone levels) (heck yeah now we’re talking).

You can find DHEA supplements in drug stores or purchase them online (we suggest brick-and-mortar shops unless you want your paycheck swallowed).

L-arginine

Yeah, try pronouncing this one three times fast! In all seriousness though, L-arginine is an amino acid that enhances nitric oxide metabolism within our bodies (Haematology researchers love these kind of stuff). More specifically – NO increases blood flow to genitals making achieving and maintaining erections more manageable .

Studies show it might be effective in helping men combat mild to moderate degrees of erectile dysfunction (so grab some Oranges for breakfast boys!).

Ginseng

Ginseng has been used as an herbal remedy for centuries due mainly because there actually are quite a few clinical trials showing benefits from using ginseng. It’s also claimed by multiple experts that the plant has restorative properties both mentally and physically making people generally feel better overall.

Believed to help against nervous disorders; anxiety or insomnia – Ginsenosides like Arginase inhibitors serving as vasodilators make ginseng what researchers have called a “natural Viagra alternative”.

Other OTC Alternatives That Might Help Boost Your Sex Life

While we covered some potentially more powerful options above two natural vitamins good old Men always should remember about include Zinc & Vitamin E!.

As someone may point out alcohol could also reduces inhibitions however letting (too much) inhibitions loose often turns on women’s zero-horniness switch on the other hand (if you know what we mean).

For those who won’t settle for supplements only, or can’t convince their lady with some vitamins sizzling more in the kitchen may be a nice step up. Spices like cinnamon or cumin are proven to increase blood flow and heat things up (and make everything taste better). Menthol products – such as peppermint oil- have been connected with increased libido too.

Lastly (but surely not least) keeping oneself healthy is definitely important when taking care of our love life(s) and overall health. Consuming high-quality diets rich in nutrients while avoiding excess alcohol, processed foods will benefit all facets of one’s body including sex drive!

Everything Comes With A Price

While Natural products mostly shouldn’t have any ’severe side effects’ compared to prescription drugs, it doesn’t mean they go 100% risk-free either! Side effects for both DHEA & L-arginine include dizziness; Digestive issues occur with Ginseng sometimes accounting stomach pain diarrhea etc ; Vitamin blends could lead men struggling within nausea constipation ;

In general – always seek your doctor’s advice before choosing particular treatment options over others.

Remember that natural remedies aren’t miracle pills but incorporating them into our daily routine alongside healthier lifestyle decisions might help us promote an overall better mood and happiness.
