What ingredient in 100% pomegranate juice increases my libido so much? After drinking a glass, I have an erection with just any slight thoughts of sex...

It can't be its test raising effect because it happens within an hour of ingestion.

There's an article in this month's Muscle and Fitness or Men's health, sorry I forgot which. It covers food that supposedly have these types of effects and they have all been tested to be placebo. At least according to the article so take it with a grain of salt.

Pomegranate's biological Interaction with the prostate gland = Increased libido

What?

[William Sterog]

I have experienced the same with the juice, but not with an extract standardized to 40% punicalagins.

I ate 2 pomegrenade apples, peal included, all I did was puke.

 

Seriously if foods increase your libido, its just because you are correcting nutritional deficits.

[Mr Serendipity]

I've experimented with everything from A-Z when it comes to herbs, drugs, vitamins, and supplements.

 

If you want high libido and great erections, just take sea kelp. Increased iodine works a treat.

 

Obviously for people who suffer from thyroid disorders, this isn't recommended.

 

The next best thing I found is l-carnitine (not the acetyl kind) and 1g or more of vitamin C (increase NO production a lot).

 

But Sea Kelp is where it's at!

Like I said: nutritional deficits.

 

There is nothing biochemical about vitamin C or amino acids, that could possibly increase your sex drive.

 

Here is simple diet, that will be superior to any kind of combination of such supplements:

 

Eat 500g pure muscle ultra-fresh ultra-welfared-pig meat fried in olive oil no longer than to barely turn it from red to pink-ish inside, 1-3 barely fried eggs, a 500g bowl of green beans, spinach and legumes that you can steam from frozen to finished as long as you fancy in your microwave, as well as several raw chili peppers with a raw garlic toe, plus 300g natural yogurt for dessert - in the evening. Two slices of brown bread with cheese, butter and ham during the day as well as an optional glass or two of butter milk. Drink a cup of English breakfast tea with every meal, make it strong in the morning weak in the evening, always add several grams of vitamin C for taste, no sugar.

 

Do this some 3 days and consistently eat nothing else without exception, but maybe a pickle, cucumber or some 30g of nuts. Any kind of nutritional supplement, algae or what not isn't a CNS-active drug, will cease to have effects, because this diet flawlessly corrects all nutritional fuckups of your body and behavior.

 

 

In that sense, this is the most extreme libido booster in existence.

Here's from the International Journal of Impotence (no, I'm not a subscriber...lol)--

 

"Although overall statistical significance was not achieved, this pilot study suggests the possibility that larger cohorts and longer treatment periods may achieve statistical significance."

Also, here's an article about the dangers of mixing pomegranate juice and viagra--

 

"http://www.ergo-log....ood-thing.html"

 

"The doctors have two theories about the way in which Viagra and pomegranate have a mutually reinforcing effect on each other. One is that the bioactive ingredients in pomegranate juice block the enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. Another – and we're more inclined to go with this one – is that the erection-enhancing effects of pomegranate and Viagra reinforce each other."

Pomegrante is contraindicated with viagra in the same sense that rhodiola is with selegiline.  Potency aside it's not as powerful; gallons and gallons of pomegranate concentrate will still yield to a single tablet from the pharmacy.

 

And with the first study, the result was NOT significant!!  Plus it's hard to control for the placebo effect.. have you ever tasted pomegranate juice?  Bitterly awful and hard to replicate (even for a chemist).
 

,,, daily pomegranate juice for at least 28 days did not improve one’s erection regardless of whether one was in the first or second treatment group. This study highlights the fact that not all bench findings prove clinically efficacious and demonstrates the necessity of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. The authors are to be congratulated for publishing these negative but important findings.

It's also touted as a supreme antioxidant, but lots of things are.  And they don't have to taste like raspberry starburst

I took iodoral for a few days but I think it was too much, 1 pill is 15mg of iodine. Made me cold and killed my appetite. But it improved my mood and creativity a great deal. No effect on libido. I'm currently trying kelp. Bought it a couple weeks ago but was reluctant to try it again due to the cold chills and appetite suppression I got from pure iodine. Took a 900mg of kelp earlier today, so far my mood has improved since taking it. Too early to tell.  No effect on libido tho.. 

[Junk Master]

Yup, I don't make much of the Pomegranate study either!

 

I did kind of like it added to cranberry juice and soda with vodka and a lime back when I was drinking.

[kurdishfella]

it could really be just placebo if your libido is controlled by your mind. when we were young we didn't look at anything in a sexual way just fun etc and thats the way it should be. if you need a drug for your libido somethings wrong.
