Brief Answer:
Male sexual problems like
erectile dysfunction...
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Argipreg Plus is a supplement which contains the following composition:
L-arginine 3 g
Proanthocyanidin 75 mg.
In men, it is used for the treatment of sexual problems like erectile dysfunction. I am explaining below how this medication works and is helpful for such problems:
L-arginine is an 'amino acid' which has been found to be useful in increasing blood flow in blood vessels. It acts by producing a chemical called Nitric oxide. Now, Nitric oxide improves blood circulation by causing the blood vessels to dilate.
In men, sexual problems like erectile dysfunction is known to be caused due to poor blood flow in the penis. So, Argipreg plus can improve the blood flow to the penis and thereby, improve erection.
It would be interesting to note that medication like Viagra also increase the release of the chemical Nitric oxide (but through a different mechanism) and help in improving the blood flow to the penis.
For this same reason (of improving blood flow), Argipreg plus has also been used in treating heart problems (where the blood vessels have become narrowed) or in treating
hypertension (where again, blood vessels are constricted) and even in
pregnancy (to improve the
amniotic fluid circulation and help in the growth of the baby).
Proanthocyanidin, the other component of Argipreg Plus, belongs to a class of chemicals called 'flavanols'. There is some evidence that this chemical has a role in imroving blood circulation and also has 'anti-oxidant' properties (which is important to prevent
cell damage).
So, this is the detailed explanation for the use of Argipreg Plus in men for the treatment of sexual problems like erectile dysfunction.
I hope I have answered your query satisfactorily...
Wish you good health.
