Let's Talk Sexual Health Arginine as a Vasodilator

August 30, 20222 min read

Sexual dysfunction is more prevalent for women (43%) than men (31%). It can be a frustrating, challenging condition, but it's nothing you should feel ashamed of or embarrassed about the current chapter of your life. If, however, you'd like to try and take back your sex life and get your health back on track, L-Arginine could be just the extra support you need.

How Can L-Arginine Help Me?

L-arginine is an amino acid responsible for building protein in the body. It plays a role in ridding the body of waste. It may also combat fatigue and boost the immune system. But the essential role that L-arginine plays in the body is the production of nitric oxide. Because nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels, L-arginine may be beneficial in certain circumstances, including:

  • Treat high blood pressure

  • May decrease symptoms of angina

  • Relieve leg pain connected to poor blood flow

  • Assist wound healing and recovery after surgery

But L-arginine has another effect that people don't often discuss - how it helps sexual health. Its enhancement of blood flow may address erectile dysfunction in men and has an especially dramatic impact on sexual arousal in women.


Erectile Dysfunction

L-Arginine directly combats the lack of blood flow by dilating blood vessels in your body. Veins and arteries widen, allowing more blood to move to your extremities, including your genitals.


It Works for You Too, Ladies

Taking L-arginine can expand both sexual excitement and desire. Once it gets in your body, L-arginine enhances sexual responsiveness by intensifying sensation and increasing the flow of oxygenated blood.

The Pregnancy Boost

Fertility is also essential to sexual health, and L-Arginine has you covered. L-arginine is capable of increasing both the amount and motility of sperm. The increased blood flow can do wonders, especially for sperm and egg cell production. For women, L-Arginine can increase cervical mucus.


Increase your L-arginine levels and feel the positive effects!

It's not well known, but our body naturally produces L-arginine under typical circumstances. However, wounds, infections, and other health issues can lead to a deficiency. In turn, it can cause sexual health problems. A great way to improve your sexual health is to change your diet. It's important to note, however, that although Arginine is found in food, supplements can be a convenient way of ensuring you're getting an adequate intake.


Make Your Sexual Health Great Again

Your sexual health is very important. Whether you're male or female, 30 or 60, there's always a way you can put the fun back into your bedroom as well as improve your overall health. L-Arginine is a fantastic way of naturally helping to remedy those problems.

If you're still not sure about the benefits of L-Arginine on your sexual health, never be afraid to ask for help. Visit Westplex Integrative Healthcare for a consultation!
