Are you a 40+ man ? Then chances are....

Hi there,

You might be suffering from this condition and it is adding to your stress load which in turn aggravates the problem, so don't stress. Also start thinking along the lines of treating the cause and not the symptom, which seems to be the trend.

According to research on a certain patent medication that's suppose to improve your ability to urinate. The researchers indicated that the molecule isosorbide dinatrate works by improving the production of nitric oxide, a substance that relaxes vascular and other smooth muscles.

In the men they studied they found that the flow improved and that the resistance to that flow decreases.

Did you know that that is exactly what the natural amino acid L-arginine does, plus, plus it improves erectile dysfunction(ED), now ain't that neat?

In reality L-arginine is useful for all sorts of vascular diseases because it improves blood flow by dilating your blood vessels.

When using L-arginine for ED you may need to take 3 to 6 grams at a time for sexual enhancement. Regular L-arginine reaches peak levels around 1 to 2 hours, so it is best to take it 2 hours "before" for best results.

All the best
