Ben Greenfield explains how nicotine causes vasoconstriction that leads to erectile dysfunction, even as young vapers seek ED treatments. He recommends beet juice, pomegranate juice, and supplements like L-citrulline to boost nitric oxide production, and warns that antiseptic mouthwash blocks the conversion that makes this work.
It's actually kind of paradoxical that so many young men are vaping, well, filling out the form on a little blue pill website or getting their hands on some erectile dysfunction treatment, when in fact they're directly inducing, via oral or vaping, administration of nicotine. The very vasoconstriction that could be leading to the issue in the first place. What are some things you can do? Well, some of these things you probably are familiar with. Some of them might be new for you, but I'm going to go through a quick list for you first. Maximizing nitric oxide production is important because that is your vasodilation. What kind of things can do that? Beet juice, pomegranate juice. These are nitrate rich foods that convert into nitric oxide. If you are simultaneously keeping a super clean mouth with in particular mouthwash and fluoridated toothpaste, then you will limit the ability of these nitrates to convert into nitric oxide. A couple of ingredients that you'll find in many pre workouts. These can double up as sexual performance enhancing aids or ways to combat erectile dysfunction, namely L citrulline and L arginine.
