Contrary to popular belief, amplified by media claims, sexual health is a lot more complicated than taking a pill for erections, which offers no pharmacological solution for women, and presents a 30% failure rate in all men. Cardiovascular health, overall fitness, mental health, nutrition, and hormone levels all influence sexual health of both men and women. Before you are able to treat or improve sexual function, you must first evaluate the cause of the sexual dysfunction. Only then can a treatment plan designed to improve sexual function, libido, sensitivity, and ability to achieve orgasm, be implemented.
In the case of erectile dysfunction, nitric oxide precursors such as L-arginine, L-ornithine, and L-citrulline can be used in conjunction with cardiovascular exercise, hormone balancing, and a diet which reduces glycation of proteins can be used to correct the effects. Women can also benefit from topical formulations in conjunction with diet, exercise and hormonal balancing to increase sensation and libido.
