Vitamin B3 also works like Viagra

Every day a familiar dose of vitamin B3 (active ingredient Niacin) works to improve erectile function in men with high cholesterol levels, a new study reveals.

One study found that 80 men with erectile dysfunction were moderate and serious, after taking Niacin, the condition was improved very well. 80 other lighter men were treated with placebo, with no changes in symptoms. These lipid and cholesterol levels are the same for them.

The author of the study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, Dr. Chi-Fai, of the University of Hongkong commented: "A surprising finding. Niacin is a very familiar, safe and Good use now adds a new use: can be used to treat erectile dysfunction '.

According to Chi-Fai, in cardiovascular patients, Niacin works to bring the lipid and cholesterol levels back to normal. So it is not surprising that it cures impotence due to cardiovascular problems and erectile dysfunction, since both diseases have the same cause.

Dr. Howard Hermann, of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (USA), who has been studying this issue since 2006, confirmed the above and further explained: "It is not entirely the two diseases that have the same cause but rather , both diseases have the same expression. '

According to Dr. Hermann, the heart disease, atherosclerosis . is caused by high cholesterol, hinders the delivery of blood to the penis, resulting in erectile dysfunction. Thus, helplessness is also a consequence of cholesterol.

A new study on Niacin also showed that people who used Niacin stalks not only achieved good results in improving erectile function but also reduced lipid content (fat) in the blood.

For the treatment of erectile dysfunction, it is necessary to take the medicine a few hours before sexual activity. Most patients reported that with these drugs, erectile function only improved in a short time. Dr. Chi-Fai affirmed: "Using Niacin is better. You only need to take it once a day and can have sex at any time if you want."

In a new experiment, Niacin was used as a slowly soluble tablet, to gradually release into the blood throughout the day. Men at first should only take Niacin with a daily dose of 500mg, to ensure there are no side effects, then increase the dose to 1,000mg and then 1,500mg.

Dr. Hermann said that there were still some problems, temporarily allowing them to use this substance to treat erectile dysfunction in men. The results are only shown in men with both high cholesterol and impotence, but the scientists say they also want to find out how Niacin affects patients with only tangles. Erectile dysfunction only.
