The fruit is considered an aphrodisiac, by some, and its high concentration of beta-carotene makes some believe that it can help with erectile dysfunction.
That’s because beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A, something that some studies have shown men with erectile dysfunction to be deficient in.
Although the bright orange-red berries are native to China, you can buy them in most health food stores now just about anywhere.
Viagra: A clear winner in the fight against erectile dysfunction
If you’re looking to immediately address your erectile dysfunction, feel free to skip the goji berries and head right to your doctor’s office to get a prescription for Viagra.
Viagra has been found effective for more than 80% of men with erectile dysfunction, and it’s one of the few FDA-approved erectile dysfunction drugs available in the United States.
The brand name for sildenafil, Viagra comes in 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg tablets. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis and usually starts to work within 30 minutes to one hour, although you can take it up to four hours before sexual activity. Don’t worry about getting a sudden uncontrollable erectile. Viagra requires sexual stimulation to work.
Who shouldn’t take Viagra?
There are some men who shouldn’t take Viagra, including those who take nitrates, poppers or guanylate cyclase stimulates (e.g., riociguat), among others.
Your doctor will also need to decide if you can take Viagra based on certain health conditions, such as low blood pressure, previous heart surgeries, pulmonary hypertension, current or past heart problems, a deformed penis shape, sickle cell anemia, leukemia or other issues.
Although Viagra does have some common side effects— headache, stuffy or a runny nose, flushing, upset stomach, abnormal vision, back and muscle pain, rash, nausea, and dizziness— most men find these symptoms tolerable enough to continue taking Viagra.
