Compositions and methods for treating, inhibiting the onset, and slowing the progression of erectile dysfunction including naturally occurring age related erectile dysfunction

摘要

Compositions for treating erectile dysfunction (“ED”), including age related erectile dysfunction (ARED), comprise in a preferred embodiment ginger and an amino acid. Preferably the amino acid is L-arginine and/or L-citrulline. Additionally, the compositions may comprise guarana (Paullinia cupana), Muira puama cortex Magnoliae officinalis (CMO) and/or Fructus aurantil immaturus (FAI). The compositions of the present inventions are administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount to treat erectile dysfunction. Essential ingredients in formulations of the present inventions for treatment of ED and ARED are ginger (or ginger derivative) and L-citrulline or L-arginine. A daily dosage of at least about 250 mg ginger and at least about 400 mg L-citrulline or L-arginine for a sufficient period of time will result in improved IIEF scores in a substantial number of patients.
