Tribulus Terrestris: A type of puncture vine, Tribulus terrestris has been reported to enhance men’s libido and promote reproductive capacity. A clinical analysis published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology indicated studies suggest that tribulus terrestris can help reduce erectile difficulties and boost libido. Vitamin C + Vitamin B12 + Niacin – This trio of essential vitamins can provide direct erectile and sexual wellness support and numerous other benefits. Vitamin C may be vital to promoting the hormonal balance men need for optimal sexual wellness. A 2024 study of 302 men suffering from fertility issues concluded higher vitamin C (ascorbic acid) intake was associated with improved androgen profiles. A 2021 study of 184 men suggested low vitamin B12 levels may contribute to erectile difficulties. A study including 160 men dealing with erectile problems reported participants ingesting niacin showed improved erectile parameters after 12 weeks. Beet Root – Beta vulgaris, or beetroot, was used to help promote blood flow as far back as the Roman Empire. These vegetables contain a high concentration of nitrates that can be converted into nitric oxide in the human body. A clinical review concluded that beetroot juice consumption “increases nitric oxide (NO) levels, which serves multiple functions related to increased blood flow.”
