"In recent years science has made breakthroughs in the understanding of sexual dysfunction. But, for hundreds of years, civilizations around the world have known about locally grown herbs that achieve wonderful results with far fewer side effects than prescription drugs."

Butea Superba

Is male sexual enhancement possible with natural herbs and nutrients as opposed to a drug? The answer may surprise you... but it is a resounding Yes! There are quite a number of natural herbal pills that may just do the trick... and many of them are currently sold without a prescription. Many of these herbs that have been known for centuries in their local regions and countries have yet to be studied or accepted by Western medical doctors. Just recently Imperial College London has conducted trials using a variety of herbs including Gingko Biloba and the results, shown recently on BBC television were very positive. While the media focuses on Viagra and its cousins, dozens of potent herbs from China, India, and South America are ignored. One in particular is the Butea root from Thailand.

Butea Superba is a plant found in Thailand. Butea is used by men as a sexual enhancement.

Mechanism of Action of Butea

Very little Western research is available on Butea, but a recent clinical trial conducted by Dr Cherdshewasart, Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Phyathai Road, Bangkok has revealed some exciting results. The study indicates that Butea Superba has some anticholinesterase activity. This would mean that butea can increase levels of acetylcholine in the body. Acetylcholine is known to be involved with erectile function and memory.

Butea supports:

• Sexual stamina
• Erectile function
• Orgasms
• Mood and vision

Lycopene extract

Lycopene is an open-chain unsaturated carotenoid that imparts red colour to tomatoes, guava, rosehip, watermelon and pink grapefruit.

A Proven Antioxidant

Lycopene is a proven antioxidant. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals, which may damage the body's cells.

Research shows that lycopene in tomatoes can be absorbed more efficiently by the body if processed into juice, sauce, paste and ketchup or taken in supplement form. The chemical form of lycopene found in tomatoes is converted by the temperature changes involved in processing to make it more easily absorbed by the body.

In the body, Lycopene is deposited in the liver, lungs, prostate gland, colon and skin. Its concentration in body tissues tends to be higher than all other carotenoids.

Natural Cancer Prevention

Regular high consumption of fruits and vegetables is recommended as part of healthy eating. Epidemiological studies have shown that high intake of lycopene-containing vegetables is inversely associated with the incidence of certain types of cancer. For example, habitual intake of tomato products has been inversely associated with the risk of cancer of the digestive tract among Italians.

In one six-year study by Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health, the diets of more than 47,000 men were studied. Of 46 fruits and vegetables evaluated, only the tomato products (which contain large quantities of lycopene) showed a measurable relationship to reduce prostate cancer risk. As consumption of tomato products increased, levels of lycopene in the blood increased, and the risk for prostate cancer decreased. The study also showed that the heat processing of tomatoes and tomato products increases lycopene's bioavailability.

Ongoing preliminary research suggests that lycopene is associated with reduced risk of macular degenerative disease, serum lipid oxidation and cancers of the lung, bladder, cervix and skin.

Studies are underway to investigate other potential benefits of lycopene - including the H. J. Heinz Company sponsored research at the University of Toronto and at the American Health Foundation. These studies will focus on lycopene's possible role in the fight against cancers of the digestive tract, breast and prostate cancer.

Beta SitoSterol

Beta-sitosterol is plant sterol found in almost all plants. It is one of the sub-components of a group of plant sterols known as phytosterols. It is white in colour and waxy in nature. It has a chemical structure that is very similar to cholesterol. High levels of Beta-sitosterol are found in rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, and soybeans.

Most modern western diet lacks this component in their diet.

What does the latest research suggest?

Cholesterol control

Beta-sitosterol has been known to reduce cholesterol levels for a number of years. It closely resembles the chemical structure of cholesterol which seems to enable it to block the absorption of cholesterol by competing with it. Normally beta-sitosterol is not well absorbed by the body, but when consumed in supplement form it effectively blocks cholesterol's absorption, resulting in lower serum cholesterol levels.

Prostate Health

In preventing and treating prostrate problems like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Plant sterols show promise.

Plant sterols may improve prostate symptom scores and reduce urine volume and residual urine levels without reducing the size of the prostate. Beta-sitosterol was one of the major components in these herbal preparations.

Researchers also cited that beta-sitosterol alone was an effective option in the treatment of BPH.

Anti-Cancer Effects

According to recent research Beta-sitosterol may act against cancer. It appears that diets high in vegetables and fruits could prevent cancer to a certain degree. Soybeans are superb sources of protein that reduce the risk of cancer too. Beta-sitosterol is one of the key compounds in soybeans.

Immunity Boosting

Beta-sitosterol may give a boost to competitive athletes who often suffer from immune suppression and reduced inflammatory response during their intense training periods and competitions.

This is particularly useful to people who are physically stressed, medically unwell or recovering from illness.

Other Benefits of Beta-sitosterol

Beta-sitosterol is thought to be important in the relieving of inflammation, healing ulcers, enhancing uterine tone and alleviating cramps. It also has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents.

Ginkgo Biloba

For over two thousand years, ginseng has been used as a tonic and restorative to promote health and longevity. The tonic and adaptogenic activity of the herb is thought to translate into enhanced physical performance, including sexual stamina.

Ginkgo Biloba appears to benefit the central nervous system and vascular conditions by improving blood flow through capillaries throughout the body. The circulation is probably improved due to decreasing blood viscosity and regulating the tone of vascular smooth muscle.

Zinc

What is it? Zinc is an essential mineral that is found in almost every cell. It stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body.

A Healthy Immune System

Zinc supports a healthy immune system, is needed for wound healing, helps maintain your sense of taste and smell, and is needed for DNA synthesis. Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.

What foods provide zinc?

Zinc is found in a wide variety of foods. Oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other food, but red meat and poultry provide the majority of zinc in the western diet. Other good food sources include beans, nuts, certain seafood, whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals, and dairy products. Zinc absorption is greater from a diet high in animal protein than a diet rich in plant proteins (2). Phytates, which are found in whole grain breads, cereals, legumes and other products, can decrease zinc absorption.

Horny Goat Weed

Many species of Epimedium are alleged to have aphrodisiac qualities. According to legend, this property was discovered by a Chinese goat herder who noticed sexual activity in his flock after they ate the weed. It is sold as a health supplement; usually in raw herb, tablet, or capsule form and sometimes blended with other supplements. The over-exploitation of wild populations of Epimedium for use in traditional Chinese medicine is having potentially serious consequences for the long-term survival of several species, none of which are widely cultivated for medicinal purposes.

The "active ingredient" in Epimedium is icariin, which can be found in standardized extracts from 5% up to 60% potent. Strengths above that are usually reserved for lab use.

Icariin is purported to work by increasing levels of nitric oxide, which relax smooth muscle. It has been demonstrated to relax rabbit penile tissue by nitric oxide and PDE-5 activity. Other research has demonstrated that injections of Epimedium extract directly into the penis of the rat results in an increase in penile blood pressure.

Like sildenafil (Viagra), icariin, the active compound in Epimedium, inhibits the activity of PDE-5. In vitro assays have demonstrated that icariin inhibits PDE-5 with an IC50 of around 1 micromolar, while sildenafil has an IC50 of about 6.6 nanomolar (.0066 micromolar) and vardenafil (Levitra) has an IC50 of about 0.7 nanomolar (.0007 micromolar). Measured differently, the EC50 of icariin is approximately 4.62 micromolar, while sildenafil's is .42 micromolar. The amount of oral administration of Epidemium extract necessary to achieve these relative concentrations is unclear from the literature.

A recently published Italian study modified icariin structurally and investigated a number of derivatives. Inhibitory concentrations for PDE-5 close to sildenafil could be reached. Moreover, the most potent PDE-5 inhibitor of this series was also found to be a less potent inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-6 (PDE-6) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate-phosphodiesterase (cAMP-PDE), thus showing it to have more specificity for PDE-5 than sildenafil.

Epimedium has been shown to up-regulate genes associated with nitric oxide production and changes in adenosine/guanine monophosphate balance in ways that other PDE5 inhibitors do not.

Niacin

Pronunciation: (nye' a sin)

Trade Name(s): Nicotinic acid, Nicotinamide

Why it is prescribed: Niacin, a vitamin, is used with diet changes (restriction of cholesterol and fat intake) to reduce the amount of cholesterol and certain fatty substances in your blood. Accumulation of cholesterol and fats along the walls of your arteries decreases blood flow and, therefore, the oxygen supply to your heart, brain, and other body parts. Lowering your level of cholesterol and fats may help to prevent heart disease, angina, strokes, and heart attacks. Niacin also is used to prevent and treat pellagra i.e., niacin deficiency, a disease caused by inadequate diet and other medical problems.

When it is to be taken: Niacin usually is taken two to four times a day, preferably with meals.

Tribulus Terrestris

Tribulus terrestris has long been a constituent in tonics in Indian ayurveda practice, where it is known by its Sanskrit name, "gokshura."

It is now being promoted as a booster for the purpose of increasing sex drive. Its use for this purpose originated in Eastern Europe in the 1970's. It was popularized in America by 1970's strong-man Jeffrey Petermann. Independent studies have suggested that Tribulus terrestris extract slightly increases hormone levels, though leaving them in the normal range.

Medicinal uses.

Some have compared the tonic properties of Tribulus terrestris to the effects of ginseng, but these occur due to entirely different mechanisms. It is also claimed that Tribulus terrestris increases testosterone by increasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone with gonadotropic adaptogen compound contained in Tribulus terrestris (GnRH) which in turn stimulates the production of LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Testosterone, besides its role in muscle-building and raising fertility and libido, is known to have a positive effect on bone marrow activity (for red blood cell production) and the immune system.

Animal studies in rats, rabbits and primates have demonstrated that administration of Tribulus terrestris extract can produce statistically significant increases in levels of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone, and produces effects suggestive of aphrodisiac activity. On the other hand, one recent study found that T. terrestris caused no increase in testosterone or LH in young men, and another found that a commercial supplement containing androstenedione and herbal extracts, including T. terrestris, was no more effective at raising testosterone levels than androstenedione alone.

The active chemical in T. terrestris is likely to be protodioscin (PTN), a cousin to DHEA. In a study with mice, Tribulus was shown to enhance mounting activity and erection better than testosterone cypionate. This however, is not as convincing as one might think. Although an OTC supplement outpacing a pharmaceutical is big news, testosterone cypionate is a synthetic ester of testosterone engineered for its longer activity. To be effective, its level must build up in the system of the animal using it. This process usually takes 2–3 weeks.National Institutes of Health, http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?id=2268, retrieved on 15 November 2007 The proerectile aphrodisiac properties were concluded to likely be due to the release of nitric oxide from the nerve endings innervating the corpus cavernosum penis.

Adverse effects from supplementation with Tribulus terrestris are rare and tend to be insignificant. However, some users report an upset stomach, which can usually be counteracted by taking it with food. Another rare side effect which has been reported is gynaecomastia, which while potentially problematic does tend to support the purported androgenic-anabolic effects of this plant.
