L-arginine is an essential amino acid that improves blood flow and circulation. It’s converted into nitric oxide in the body, which causes your blood vessels to open wider. This is especially helpful for men with erectile dysfunction because the opening of the blood vessels in the penis is what allows for an erection to occur. L-arginine may also help to improve conditions that often lead to sexual dysfunction, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and inflammation.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is most often characterized by the inability to achieve and/or maintain a reliable, firm, prolonged erection that is adequate for sexual activity. For some men, problems with erections are isolated or situational, while others experience chronic ED due to an underlying condition or mechanical abnormality. Oftentimes, ED is multifactorial, meaning there is more than one factor contributing to the patient’s symptoms. Some of the most common erectile dysfunction risk factors and causes include: Hormone imbalance/low testosterone Andropause Age Poor circulation Heart disease Obesity Certain medications Drug/alcohol use Psychological factors Stress/anxiety Trauma Previous surgery/prostate surgery
While many cases of ED are caused by medical conditions that can’t be cured, various treatment options can help restore sexual function.
