Red Yeast Rice For Erectile Dysfunction
High Cholesterol Linked to Erectile Dysfunction
When a doctor reviews the complications brought on by high cholesterol, he usually mentions the most prevalent issues: heart disease, loss in vision, and increased risk for stroke. While individuals with high cholesterol are more prone to these issues, men can also suffer from erectile dysfunction caused by cholesterol.
Men can start to see erection quality dip. Morning erections will disappear. Sex can turn into a quick, five-minute ordeal because of the heightened sensation felt in the penis, while maintaining an erection can be near impossible.
What It Is Formulated To Do:
- Improve weak erections or impotence symptoms caused by bad cholesterol (LDL)
- Reduce plaque formation by increase HDL and lower LDL
- Rejuvenate nerve ending
- Increase blood flow to the penile tissues
- Help to sustain firmer erection
- Improve the health of corpus cavernosum smooth muscle & endothelium
- Increase nitric oxide production by restoring endothelial function
Lowering Cholesterol & Raising Erectile Firmness
Yes, a proper diet and exercise regiment will lower your cholesterol naturally. But will a proper diet and exercise routine help your erections return to normal? Yes, overtime, but certain herbs can also help the body regain it’s balance faster. Research has shown that the synergy brought on by the herbal blends can lower cholesterol and raise erectile firmness. Here's a brief overview as to how each herb works:
- Butea Superba enhances erectile strength.
- Cuscuta increases nitric oxide synthease essential for a harder and fuller erection.
- Maca improves anti-oxidant levels while lowering LDL levels. Thanks to lowered LDL levels, men can regain control of their cholesterol levels and combat their impotence issues.
- Morinda can enhance sexual stamina while improving blood flow essential for a healthy, strong erection.
- Red Yeast Rice contains monacolins that helps lower high cholesterol.
Together these herbs help erectile functions while repairing damaged endothelium layers essential for reducing inflammation and controlling the passage of vital nutrients to cells. After mere weeks of taking this herbal blend, men reported seeing harder morning erections and quality erections during intercourse.
Red Yeast Rice Benefits
Red Yeast Rice, a well-known Chinese remedy, comes from rice fermented by red yeast. Chinese medical textbooks have documented the effectiveness of Red Yeast Rice in the treatment of indigestion, poor blood circulation, and diarrhea.
Research published by Dr. Becker from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine revealed that, “In the Red Yeast Rice group, LDL cholesterol decreased by 1.11 mmol/L (43 mg/dL) from baseline at week 12 and by 0.90 mmol/L (35 mg/dL) at week 24.” [1]
LDL (Bad Cholesterol)
| Indications
|
| Less than 100 mg/dL | Optimal |
| 100-129 mg/dL | Near optimal |
| 130-159 mg/dL | Borderline high |
| 160-189 mg/dL | High |
| >190 mg/dL | Very high (Very high risk of heart attack) |
Note: Cholesterol levels are measured in milligrams (mg) of cholesterol per deciliter (dL) of blood
Other recent research has found that the molecules (monacolins) in Red Yeast Rice can naturally inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol. For example, monacolin K can inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that has a major role in the production of cholesterol in the liver. [2] [3]
