Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a difficult ailment to deal  with not because it does not have any type of treatment but because  those who suffer from it are usually not comfortable in talking about  it. The inability to get or sustain an erection is something very  embarrassing for most men but what many do not know is that ED is very  common and affects approximately 30 million men in the US alone. It's  just the severity of their ED that varies.
Levitra is one of the  most popular drugs prescribed for those with ED for them to enjoy their  sex life like they used to however aside from Levitra, there are other  remedies that one can take a look at.
L-arginine
For those who wouldn't want to take drugs or treatments that are not  naturally occuring, there are a number of natural remedies you can use.  The no.1 in the list is L-arginine. This amino acid helps in relaxing  blood vessels, increasing blood flow along the way. Relaxation of  muscles in the penis will allow men with ED to get an erection. This  amino acid can be found in dairy, meat, fish, and poultry. L-arginine is  in fact deemed as the naturally occurring sildenafil.
Gingko
Although used as a natural remedy for a number of ailments, gingko is  a particularly popular treatment for erectile dysfunction. Experts say  however that the herb is most effective for men whose ED is an effect of  taking antidepressant. In a study of 60 men with ED, it showed that  gingko has 50% success rate.
Propionyl-L-Carnitine
Another natural remedy is Propionyl-L-Carnitine. According to a  study, this naturally occurring chemical enhances the effectiveness of  sildenafil - the generic drug for ED and is also a good supplement for  men with diabetes who also suffer from erectile dysfunction. This amino  acid is produced by the body. It is used for the treatment of  intermittent claudication because of poor blood circulation and ipso  facto also a very good alternative to improve blood circulation for  those who have erectile dysfunction. Aside from ED, this amino acid is  also used for the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome, low  testosterone levels, congestive heart failure, and atheorsclerosis.
Zinc
Remember when your doctor told you that you need all types of  vitamins i.e. from A to Zinc? Well you should take this seriously  because a significant depletion of this mineral in the body can cause erectile dysfunction.
