Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I understand your concern.

To answer your question, I advise to follow this general rule:
- when trying to find an over the counter supplement for ED, you should look into its ingredients. Make sure it contains the following ingredients:

- gingko
- Panax ginseng
- Maca, or Lepidium meyenii
- Yohimbine
- Mondia whitei or White’s ginger

Generally, Chinese or XXXXXXX supplements have shown effectiveness in helping with ED.

However, the very first thing I advise my patients before trying anything is to identify why you are having ED:
- hormonal problems?
- emotional/psychological problems?
- or organic problems with: muscles? nervous system? or other chronic body problems?

Then, supplements can be of great help if you treat the main problem first.

Hope they will work for you.

Most supplements contain Larginine. Is that not critical to the effectiveness?

Thank you

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Thank you for following up.

Apart L-arginine, have you gone through the other ingredients? I believe they are not containing L-arginine only but other ingredients too.

L-arginine can turn into nitric oxygen in our body that will help relax blood vessels ( vasodilation). More blood is supplied to penis to keep a longer erection.

That's fine. However, as erection includes various components, including organic and psychological components for which the other ingredients will help.

Take care.
