A fairly recent study shows that people with low libido/erection problems taking red (korean or chinese) ginseng showed a marked improvement. Here's the page I found the link (actual link is too long) just scoll down to 'red ginseng': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginseng I've been feeling pretty low sexually of late (performance anxiety and all that) so, in the name of science, I'll start taking red ginseng and let you all know how it works out. of course, there is the placebo effect, but 60% is pretty impressive. Even Viagra only works 80% of the time and I've neevr heard of people dying of heart attacks from ginseng. I'm not really one for 'natural medicine' but I feel like this could work. After all, the Chinese have been using ginseng for 2,000 years and look how many of them there are (Kidding! Kidding!).
Let me just tell you something and Im going to say it happened to a friend of mine. My friend started taking Korean Red Ginseng. Oh boy.. it is definately not just 'placebo' effect either. In fact, My friends 'stamina' and 'Libido' went into high gear sometimes what seemed like alllll freaking day long. Yes, I dont know if it works for everyone but it DEFINATELY has a very very noticeable effect on my friend. He stopped taking it while he was single as there didnt seem to be much point in firing up the engines with nowhere to go.
Well, that's encouraging. I do have a girlfriend so it won't all be in vain. Tell me; how long did it take your friend to feel the effects?
About 48 hours later heh. I dont remember the dosage but it was Jamiesons brand you can find in a typical Supermarket. I think it was about three capsules a day. Korean Red is the 'notorious' variety for males in particular. Combine that with Vitamin E supplements. Siberian Ginseng is said to me a more 'mellowing' type but then I remember selling boxes of that to ladies who claimed it was to them what Korean Red is to Men lol. (in case youre wondering, I worked in a health food store for a while so hence the experimentation based on customers recommendations heh) Worth noting in same 'Libido' category: Jamiesons 'Power Vitamins for Men' which are actually a good multivitamin/mineral/herb supplement anyways. and Ginko Biloba (which actually gave me headaches but is claimed an enhancer too) Kava Kava (which I have never tried and is pretty potent stuff for your liver) L-Arginine, an Amino Acid said to be a huge benefit in male sexual strength. But all I know is that Vitamin E + Korean Red Ginseng = Blood Flow and Circulation. Those are two very safe natural supplements too.
I'm taking a multivitamin with vitamin E in it, but no other supplements in particular. The process starts tomorrow.
Ok, after a few days the effects were easily felt. I had more energy, les nervousness, and my erections were firmer than they'd been in months. Soon, the ginseng, vitamins, and hormones began to battle my nervousness and fear. It was pretty much an even contest. Last night, sex with my girlfriend went off much better than I had expected. Although the first time I came rather quickly (mostly, I think, due to my continued nervousness) the refractory period was very short and I lasted much longer the second time. It was a good feeling.
For men - take Tribilus or L-Arginine or BCAA (branch chain amino acids) or several other supplements to increase Testosterone production. You might also try an anti-estrogen supplement. Lots of things you intake, such as beer / alcohol increase estrogen production.
Thanks for updating us RB! Yes, the 'firmness' thing seems to be reported alot and Im told its because Ginseng is a 'vasodilator' which is simply something increasing blood flow to blood vessels. Good to know Ginseng works for so many guys out there.. and its natural and safe.
im a lurker but i just wanted to add to this thread that i started taking korean ginseng twice a day and chinese red once a day, so three pills a day and occasionally mix in some ginseng tea with my green tea. the reason for this was my memory seemed to be somewhat declining due to smoking the buda and i wanted to do something about it. that isnt the point tho, just thought id add i get raging boners all day and the ginseng is the only thing i have changed in my diet ;b so to all u guys out there who are lookin for a little extra kapow! then take some ginseng
Now I occasionally take Ginseng pills, and its called "Asian Ginseng (Korean White)". Will that have the same effects??
Siberian Ginseng was very popular with the female customers. One girl told me it had the same effect but is more 'lady like'. heh. What do you think of Korean White Butters?
