There is new research indicating that increased antioxidant usage may play a role in treatment and prevention of erectile dysfunction.
What causes ED?
Although originated by the nervous system, an erection is achieved due to the effect of increased amounts of Nitric oxide released from the endothelial lining in the blood vessels within the penis, whereby increasing blood flow.
Maintaining an erection, obviously depends on this increased blood flow and studies have shown that endothelial function is inhibited by free radical damage and oxidative stress, which is caused by many factors in our daily lives, such as poor diet, smoking and stress, to name a few.
Latest studies have shown that increased antioxidant usage can reverse this oxidative stress. They do this by neutralizing the free radicals responsible for oxidative stress and endothelial damage in the relevant blood vessels.
