According to Chinese Medicine, Cuscuta is believed to increase male fertility. Cuscuta contains five key molecules: beta-sitosterol, d-sesamin, 9(R)-hydroxy-d-sesamin, d-pinoresinol and daucosterol, that protect the sperm’s membrane; preserve its acosomic structure; shield the mitochondrion function; and defend the sperm from free radical (ROS) damage.
Cuscuta is often included in erection-enhancement formulas because of its ability at increasing the production of Nitric Oxide Synthease (nNOS and eNOS) and intra-cavernosal pressure (ICP), helping achieve a harder and fuller erection.
