Another method for erections.

Glad I have stumbled upon this. I’m one of the fools that gets bad aches from Viagra. If it’s doing that from me, it can’t be good.

So, I’m a preventative type of guy. Everyone I know at work is on some type of statin. Or 50% of my workplace. So I stumbled upon Linus Pauling. 50% say he’s a quack, 50% say he’s a genius. I say genius.

I started a regular regimen of 3-4G vitamin C a day / 2-3G L-lysine a day and I’m having the best wood I’ve had in years at 41.
Do some research on Linus Pauling. I did some research recently and stumbled upon a bunch of folks that reversed heart problems, hardening of the arteries, and other related issues with the Linus Pauling therapy. Doesn’t get any cheaper than Vitamin C and L-lysine.

Hm. I’ve been doing 2G of vit C a day (based on instruction from my optometrist) but notice more effect if I use more, which usually happens if I miss a dose. Maybe I’ll up it to 3G. Vit C doesn’t build up right?

kfarrelldba, I believe you take some other supplements, can you actually narrow down your erection improvement to this regimen?

Genius, he won at least two Nobel Prizes in Science IIRC.

Vitamin C and E combo is an must for athletes and I do take L-Arginine and L-Lysyne as a combo for training . Until recently I was taking E 1000IU for growth in connecting tissue

More than 2 grams of vitamin C per day can be harmful.

I’m seeing different: Vitamin C - Wikipedia

We’re talking about 4 grams… for people that are likely at least 50 kg.

So it doesn’t appear to build up either.

Oh hold it.

So. I don’t think I’m doing more than 3 grams.

There were reports that too much Vit C slows gains from weight training though. Look for it on t-nation.

Has anybody else seen the benefits from this? Wondering if I should invest in this or not

VITAMINS FOR ERECTIONS

Vitamins for Varicose Veins | Healthfully

At some point in a man’s life, he will almost certainly be concerned with his ability to achieve and maintain an erection. For some, this is part of the aging process but for others it can happen earlier in life and can be cause for concern. While drugs like Viagra, Levitra and Cialis can help men sustain an erection, some individuals may want a more "natural" approach to the problem by taking a vitamin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that can protect healthy cells from free radicals. From a sexual perspective, Vitamin E can protect and support sexual and reproductive organs. Vitamin E is often referred to as the "virility vitamin." Vitamin E will improve the blood flow in the blood vessels in the penis.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has characteristics to improve the immune system and is an antioxidant. Vitamin C promotes health in general by providing protection from viral diseases. Nobel prize-winning scientist scientist Linus Pauling took up to 25 grams of Vitamin C every day and he lived to be 96. Vitamin C also has the ability to help a man achieve and maintain his erection.

Zinc

Zinc is vital to the production of testosterone, which is required for sexual potency. It is also a key factor in sperm motility, the key determining factor in a man’s ability to get a woman pregnant. Zinc has certain antiviral and antibacterial properties and it plays a key role in man’s ability to have sex to completion.

I don’t really take anything else except zinc, magnesium and b6 at bedtime.

500mg of maca in the am, fish oil, that’s about it.

I use to do lots of raw ginger but have been lazy lately.

See the UL for adults.

Are you still getting similar results from from vitamin C/Lysine mix?

Don’t remember where I read it, but a couple doctors in Europe have tried mega-doses of Vitamin-C to help reverse/slow/treat inoperable stage-4 cancer patients with some surprising success. I’m talking intravenous doses of 100-150 grams per day. None of the patients showed signs of additional sickness or poisoning from the insanely high amounts of Vitamin-C.

Hmm.

So the UL seems to be 2 grams (thanks marinera)., but 100 grams a day doesn’t seem to harm anything. How long of a duration was it?
