Erectile dysfunction—two little words that can make even the most confident man’s knees go weak. At the very least, when the conversation turns to topics below the belt, most men become noticeably uncomfortable. Yet, even though it’s the most common male reproductive condition in the United States, less than 25 percent of men with erectile dysfunction seek treatment. Those who do visit their doctor often walk out with a prescription for sildenafil citrate (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis). But, despite the pharmaceutical industry’s prediction of “better loving through chemistry,” those trendy prescriptions aren’t a cureall and can have major side effects.

Fortunately, there are natural alternatives that can, when combined with healthy lifestyle choices, enhance your performance and boost your zest for life.

So turn the page and learn how to get your love life back on track, naturally!

ED

If you are having a performance malfunction in the bedroom, you’re not alone! Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects an estimated 20 to 30 million American men at some point in their lives. In fact, mild to moderate ED affects approximately 10 percent of men per decade of life. For instance, according to the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, 40 percent of men in their 40s suffer from ED

6

and nearly 70 percent are affected by age 70.

But, while age seems to be the strongest factor for developing ED, there’s a worrisome trend that was reported in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. During an Italian study published in the journal, researchers found that one in four men seeking help for ED were under the age of 40! Plus, nearly

Educational B O O K L E T Series half of the men surveyed suffered from a severe case of the condition, compared to just 40 percent of men over 40. This puts a new face to findings from an early study— the National Health and Social Life Survey—which found that sexual dysfunction was more likely among men in poor physical and emotional health, regardless of age.

But there is plenty you can do to prevent becoming one of these statistics at any age. And it starts here.

To simplify this intricate process, let’s compare your erection to a rocket launch. Here’s how it works: Think of your brain as the mission control center for erections. Once mission control receives data— an erotic fantasy, a seductive photograph, even a particular scent—it sends tiny messengers called neurotransmitters to the launch pad, better known as the penile nerves. This reflex action is helped along by the male hormone testosterone.

After your penile nerves have been aroused, other neurotransmitters trigger the release of nitric oxide (NO). This, in turn, increases To really grasp the cause blood flow to your penile of ED, you first need arteries, causing them to understand what to expand. As your happens inside penile tissue your body when grows in width things go and length, the of all men experience right.

more often. When they do go wrong, it can send a man into an emotional tailspin.

Perhaps this is why, until recently, most doctors thought that ED was primarily caused by psychological factors.

And, while fatigue, stress, or the uncertainties of a new relationship can cause a temporary loss of erectile function, medical science now estimates that between 80 and 90 percent of ED cases are caused by underlying medical problems and lifestyle factors.

But taking a proactive approach can help reduce your risk. Eat smart, ditch those bad behaviors you picked up in college, and see your doctor at least once a year to make sure all systems are a go. Not only will this help you perform at your best in the short-term, you’ll be healthy and vibrant for many years to come.

The Cardiovascular

CONNECTION ED can definitely cause heartache—in more ways than one! In fact, ED can be an early warning sign of hidden heart disease. According to an Australian study that appeared in the journal PLOS Medicine, even men with a mild case of ED and no known heart issues face a major risk of developing cardiovascular problems. And as ED worsens, so does the risk.

During the study of 95,000 men, age 45 and up with no signs of heart disease, those with moderate to severe ED were 50 percent more likely to be hospitalized for cardiovascular problems than men without ED. While having ED isn’t an automatic ticket to the cardiac unit at your local hospital, if you are having problems in the bedroom, it’s wise to check with your doctor.

CHAPTER 2

Botanicals for BETTER

PERFORMANCE If you’ve been diagnosed with ED, you might think that your options are limited to prescription drugs, hormone therapy, or mechanical erectile “aids.” Fortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Modern science has found an ancient remedy that is a safe, natural, and effective alternative to pharmaceuticals and devices that can enhance both your performance and your energy, in and out of the bedroom.

Discovered nearly 5,000 years ago in the Northern mountain ranges of Manchurian China, ginseng has a long history as an aphrodisiac and has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat sexual dysfunction, low libido, and infertility. Studies have found that the key compounds in ginseng— specifically Korean red ginseng— protect against oxidative stress in the blood vessels and penile tissue to help restore normal function.

Other research shows that these compounds, called ginsenosides, increase blood circulation by promoting the production of NO. 10

Together, these two actions boost blood flow throughout the body, including the penis.

SCIENCE SAYS . . .

Because of these actions, a growing number of studies are pointing to Korean red ginseng as a safe and effective alternative to pharmaceuticals. During one double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 60 men with mild to moderate ED, more than 66 percent of those taking Korean red ginseng reported improved erections.

Those in the ginseng group also experienced greater rigidity, more effective penetration, and more ease maintaining their erection compared to the men in the placebo group. This study appeared in the Asian Journal of Andrology.

Another study in The Journal of Urolog y found similar results.

Among the 45 participants taking part in this trial, 60 percent of those taking Korean red ginseng scored significantly higher on the International Index of Erectile Function than those taking a placebo. These men reported a notable improvement in penile tip rigidity, improved erection, penetration, and maintenance.

An additional investigation of 86 men with ED published in the Asian Journal of Androlog y, found that those who were treated with Korean red ginseng for eight weeks had marked

Educational B O O K L E T Series improvement in their erections.

The men also reported an uptick in overall sexual satisfaction. The men taking a placebo, however, didn’t experience any of these benefits. The researchers in this particular study credit ginsenosides for the improvement in ability and performance.

So what exactly are these magical performance-boosting ginsenosides? They are protective phytochemicals that are produced by the herb in response to stressors like predators or extreme climate changes. There are more than 50 different ginsenosides in ginseng, the vast majority of which aren’t absorbed well by the body. To be effective, they must be converted to “noble” ginsenosides by the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Once this happens, these noble ginsenosides are more easily absorbed and more bioavailable than the original ginsenosides.

Unfortunately, however, much can be lost in translation during this conversion process.

HRG80 is composed of 100 percent whole Panax ginseng roots cultivated in Belgium under the strictest environmental and social European standards. The ginseng is grown hydroponically using high-tech vertical farming to reduce the crop’s environmental footprint.

Traditional ginseng takes up to six years to mature, although it increases

A BETTER GINSENG What if there was a form of ginseng that delivered noble ginsenosides directly—no middle man required?

in potency with age. For example, 10-year-old ginseng is more powerful than 6-year ginseng— and 20-year-old ginseng is very powerful. HRG80 takes a mere six months. Because of this radically accelerated growing process, the potency of the resulting ginseng is equivalent to 20-year-old wildharvested ginseng!

regulating the growing temperature and by simulating stressors like insect attacks. Once harvested, the hydroponically grown ginseng undergoes a processing protocol that respects the plant and naturally fosters a high noble ginsenosides content. It’s the perfect marriage of new and old—and the ultimate beneficiary is you!

Once harvested, the ginseng is steamcooked using traditional Korean methods. The resulting ginseng root powder provides a considerably more concentrated source of noble ginsenosides than typical Korean red ginseng supplements—seven times more concentrated!

CREATING A CLEAN GINSENG

This novel method of growing Korean red ginseng is possible thanks to groundbreaking technology that simulates a “perfect spring.” This is obtained by

LIFESTYLES

While ginseng has been cultivated for medicinal use for centuries, modern agricultural practices— including heavy pesticide and fungicide spraying as well as irresponsible processing—have undercut the herb’s efficacy and safety. As a result, it’s been increasingly difficult to find ethically grown and responsibly processed ginseng with enhanced

absorption and bioavailability.

Most Panax ginseng used in supplements is teased out of the root using harsh solvents. The problem is, this method can only extract a fraction of the active beneficial molecules and bioactives. What’s missing? Fiber, protein, and a host of minerals and vitamins that provide added health benefits. Of more concern, solvent extraction can hide adulterations—things like the inclusion of leaves or other parts of the plant, or even other species like Panax quinquefolius (also known as American ginseng). Solvents can also hide poor-quality or irradiated ginseng or pesticide contamination. Some products that are processed this way can even carry solvent residue!

HRG80 avoids the extraction process entirely and never uses solvents. Instead, it relies on the traditional Korean process of steam cooking and drying. This not only concentrates the noble ginsenosides, it also produces an ultra-pure and environmentally responsible ginseng supplement that provides 80 percent noble ginsenosides. To ensure you’re getting a clean ginseng, check the front label for the words “whole root,” “full spectrum,” or “solvent-free.” Then check the ingredient label on the back for

Color

CONFUSION If you walk into any health food store to purchase your ginseng, you’re likely to find some products labeled American ginseng, some labeled as Panax ginseng (sometimes called Korean white ginseng), and still others labeled as Korean red ginseng. Confusing? You bet! Here’s the breakdown: American ginseng comes from a different species of ginseng called Panax quinquefolius and it may benefit blood sugar and the immune system—but it won’t do a thing for your ED. What about white ginseng and Korean red ginseng? Surprisingly, they come from the same plant! The difference between the two comes from the way they are processed.

As you learned earlier, Korean red ginseng is processed using traditional methods that include steam cooking the root and then air drying it. White ginseng, on the other hand, is dried immediately after it is harvested. This difference in processing is what gives each their unique health properties— and why it’s important to pay attention to the color of your ginseng, especially if you suffer from ED. HRG80. This will ensure you are getting a supplement that doesn’t contain pesticide or solvent residue or mycotoxins. It is also GMO-free and hasn’t been irradiated or been adulterated in any way.

from Head to Toe

As effective as Korean red ginseng is for erectile function, achieving optimal sexual health requires supporting multiple systems, including your cardiovascular system and your prostate.

ERECTILE ENHANCERS Although mechanics definitely matter when it comes to achieving and maintaining an erection, desire also plays a key role. Since humans first began procreating, mankind has been in search of the perfect aphrodisiac. That has led to some bizarre (oysters anyone?) and even dangerous practices. Fortunately, modern science has separated the hype from fact. One highly effective

herb to spark desire is saffron.

Often used in Spanish, Italian, and Indian cuisine, saffron is created from the dried, highly pigmented stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower.

According to researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, saffron can improve both libido and human sexual function.

Other preliminary studies have found that two compounds in saffron—safranal and crocin— possess aphrodisiac activity while also boosting performance.

GETTING TO THE “HEART” OF ED As you’ve seen, the health of your cardiovascular system is directly linked to your performance in the bedroom. Recent studies have found that certain polyphenols— antioxidant-rich micronutrients in plants that give them their color and taste—can protect the heart, enhance circulation, and promote healthy sexual function in men.

contribute to low testosterone levels and erectile dysfunction.

In one analysis of five clinical trials published in the Asian Journal of Andrology, researchers found that those men who were taking a popular statin drug to lower their cholesterol levels had measurably lower testosterone levels and a

greater incidence of ED. Another study evaluating nearly 3,500 men with ED found that taking a statin drug had doubled the risk of hypogonadism—a condition where men don’t produce enough testosterone. The researchers speculated that statins disrupt the pituitary gland’s messaging to the testicles, telling them to produce less testosterone.

inflammation, and a damaging process known as glycation.

If ignored, this triplethreat can undermine the health of your arteries, and that can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and yes, ED. Grape-derived polyphenols are also powerful antioxidants and vasodilators that increase NO synthesis by enhancing endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity in the cells that line your arteries and your heart.

This plays a major role in vascular and tissue protection, and enhances blood flow throughout the body.

If you’re suffering from high cholesterol levels, talk with your health care provider about more natural ways to bring it into a healthier range. Key nutrients like niacin and lifestyle changes like diet and exercise can be incredibly effective for both your cardiovascular health and your love life!

CHAPTER 4

Live Well,

LOVE WELL Supplements can go a long way toward improving your sex life, as well as your overall health. But when you pair targeted herbs and nutrients with healthy lifestyle choices, you boost your odds of living your best life.

EAT FOR SEXUAL SATISFACTION That cheeseburger you had for lunch. That beer after work. Those chips or wings while cheering on your favorite team. It’s no secret that highly processed and fast foods can pack on the pounds.

But these nutrient-devoid foods also promote inflammation that can negatively impact your love life. Time to trade in the typical American diet for foods that increase stamina, prevent disease, and foster a healthier weight.

16

When it comes to crafting a diet for reproductive health, macros matter.

That means protein, carbs, and fat.

High-quality animal protein—lean red meat, chicken, pork, lamb, fish, and eggs—can foster healthy hormonal balance, muscle support, and better reproductive health.

Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School found men who eat a low-protein diet often experience sexual problems later in life. Low-protein diets were found to increase sex hormone-binding globulin in older men, which sticks to testosterone, making it unavailable for use by the body.

Then there are carbohydrates.

Most people think that grains are the best way to get carbs. Truth is, fruits and vegetables are an

excellent source of nutrient-rich carbohydrates. Filling half your plate with produce at every meal provides vitamins, minerals, and unique nutrients called flavonoids, which are a diverse group of plant chemicals that—along with carotenoids—are responsible for the rainbow of color found in the produce section of your favorite grocery store. Research suggests that a diet high in flavonoids can reduce the incidence of ED by making arteries more flexible and thereby increasing blood flow.

Fats matter too. Trans fats and oxidized saturated fats, found in many processed and fast foods, can hurt both your heart and your ability to achieve an erection.

Healthy fats, on the other hand, can reduce inflammation and help improve your cardiovascular health. These include the fat found in olive oil, coconut oil, avocados, seeds, and nuts. The fat found in these foods is used to build cell membranes and is involved in the production of hormones, including testosterone. Just don’t go overboard when it comes to including healthy fats in your diet.

A handful of nuts, a quarter of an avocado, or a tablespoon of coconut oil will do the trick.

So what are you waiting for? No other change in your lifestyle will bring about such dramatic changes to your health, your looks, and your sexuality as a healthy diet.

SIZE Matters The size of your waist, that is.

A man with a 42-inch waist is 50 percent more likely to have erectile problems than a guy with a 32-inch waist. But it’s not just your waist circumference that matters. An overall BMI score of 28 (technically classified as overweight but not obese) was found in a California study to boost a man’s odds of developing ED by over 90 percent!

What’s behind these weighty findings? Surprisingly, it’s likely estrogen. Considered a “female hormone,” tiny amounts of this fat-storing hormone are also naturally present in men. While testosterone gets all the glory, low levels of estrogen regulate your libido, improve brain function, and protect your heart. When you gain weight, however, estrogen levels rise and testosterone levels drop. This can cause fatigue, a loss of muscle tone, decreased sexual function and desire, gynecomastia (man boobs), and in some cases, an enlarged prostate.

Losing weight may be one of the best ways to normalize your estrogen levels and restore healthy erectile function.

According to clinical research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, losing just 15 percent of your current weight may be enough to help reverse ED.

If you smoke, quit!

Nicotine narrows blood vessels, which can lead to damage in the arteries and veins. The small blood vessels in the penis are especially susceptible to this damage.

Educational B O O K L E T Series is definitely not good for either you or your sex life. Although a loss of libido or an inability to maintain an erection often occur during periods of stress, these episodes are usually transient. In most cases, once the stress has been reduced, full sexual function returns.

Chronic stress, however, can lead to recurrent performance issues.

Fortunately there are a number of options available that can help you decompress stress and learn to relax.

For long-term stress relief, try yoga or meditation. Both of these ancient practices change your brainwaves, rejuvenate your central nervous system, and help to reduce the risk of hypertension and heart disease. Massage can also lessen the effects of stress and, if done with your partner, may even set the stage for intimacy.

Try using an aromatherapeutic massage oil to further enhance your pleasure.

Address performance anxiety.

Choose an effective ginseng supplement.

First, be patient with yourself. It’s also important to be open with your partner. Finally, try getting intimate in other ways that don’t involve sexual intercourse.

Check labels to make sure you’re getting a “clean” ginseng like HRG80 that give you all the benefits you need without the contaminants you don’t.

Sugar and Your Sex Life Sugar is ubiquitous in our food supply—and that may be undermining your ability to perform in the bedroom! In fact, research from the Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins found that continually spiking your blood sugar with sweets and simple carbs could be a major factor in ED, especially if you’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

What’s more, a steady stream of sugary foods creates leptin resistance in the body. Leptin is the hormone that tells you when you’ve had enough to eat. But it’s also one of the hormones that regulates sexual desire. Sugar also negatively impacts testosterone levels, which could dampen your libido.

If that weren’t enough, sugar elevates your cortisol levels. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone, and it’s one reason you crave sweet or starch carbs when you feel stressed out. But the damage doesn’t stop there. High cortisol levels can disrupt your libido and have been linked to ED in clinical trials.
