If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction and have either tried Viagra or are just exploring your options, perhaps seeking alternatives and you want to know what they are, read on.

Viagra alternatives include herbal concoctions, other erectile dysfunction drugs including prescribed and over the counter, and attempting to find out what is causing the erectile dysfunction and correcting it.

Weigh out the options, Viagra is effective and responds very quickly. Within an hour you can have a firm and rigid erection but some men do not like medications and want to see if it is possible that they might enjoy an herbal solution for their erectile dysfunction. There are plenty obtainable, Gingko Biloba, Arginine, DHEA, and Yohimbe. What do you know about these alternatives? Well, Gingko Biloba is usually taken to enhance memory function, it does this by increasing blood flow, blood flow is necessary for an erection as well. Many believe that Gingko Biloba would be best for a patient that is on antidepressants. Arginine is an amino acid that also increases blood flow. In a study of 50 men at Tel Aviv University, 31% of those with impotence improved after six weeks of taking Arginine. The ones who might benefit from it are men who have circulatory disorders that may be contributing to sexual problems (IGN, 2008). You should not take Arginine if you are on any heart medication, especially nitroglycerin, because it could cause a drop in blood pressure.

DHEA is a supplement used most by men who suffer from low levels of the hormone. It assists the male body in making testosterone and estrogen. Yohimbe is an herb that was thought to cure impotency but the problem is that it can cause a significantly dangerous rise in the blood pressure and it can also cause anxiety. In the purified form this herb is FDA approved to promote purity and potency.

More alternatives include an array of various herbs that come by some very funny names, are available at the health food stores. None of these have any evidence that they work at all. Most are made with a combination of the aforementioned herbs above. Before you decide to purchase any of these herbal remedies check to see what is in it and how much of each herb is in the product. This may give you some idea of the products effectiveness. You might decide that you would be better off with one specific ingredient rather than a mixed assortment.
