Ginkgo

Ginkgo biloba extract has demonstrated specific mechanisms of action that counteract age-related vascular disorders, and there is some research suggesting that ginkgo may be useful in erectile dysfunction, due to its ability to stimulate blood flow to the penis. In one study of 60 men with impotence due to poor blood circulation demonstrated a 50% success rate after 6 months. In addition, some research suggests that ginkgo may be useful for impotence caused by drugs in the Prozac family as well as other types of antidepressant medications. While depression is often associated with decreased libido, modern treatments for depression may add to the problem. For instance, a recent study conducted in Europe estimated that about one third of all patients taking SSRI antidepressants suffered from some degree of drug-induced sexual dysfunction (Williams VS et al 2006). An open trial of ginkgo for the treatment of antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction concluded that an impressive 76 percent of men experienced improved sexual function after taking 120 to 240 mg ginkgo extract daily for one month. “Ginkgo biloba generally had a positive effect on all four phases of the sexual response cycle: desire, excitement (erection and lubrication), orgasm, and resolution (afterglow),” wrote the authors. They speculated that this effect might be caused by ginkgo’s ability to improve dilation of peripheral blood vessels or to modulate central serotonin receptor factors (buy levitra,Cohen AJ et al 1998). While gingko appears to be relatively safe, it should not be combined with blood- thinning drugs such as Coumadin (warfarin), heparin, aspirin, and Trental (pentoxifylline) aspirin, or other NSAIDs. Ginkgo may cause bleeding problems if combined with natural blood thinners such as garlic, phosphatidylserine, and high dose vitamin E. There have been some case reports of subdural hematoma (bleeding in the skull) and hyphema (bleeding into the iris chamber) with ginkgo use. Do not take ginkgo biloba if you have diabetes. Ginkgo biloba can cause allergic skin reactions, elevated blood pressure, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea
