there does seem to be a scientific basis for the increase in erectile function
A story that keeps on popping up in now and then is that by drinking a glass of pomegranate juice every day you could help to stave off erectile dysfunction in the long term.
The research that was carried out by the University of California based in Los Angeles looked at over 50 men who suffered from very mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. The men were asked to drink 8 fluid ounces of the pomegranate juice everyday for a month and then after that month they were told to switch to a different fruit juice so that their erectile function could be compared in different months.
Just under half of the men said that during the month of drinking pomegranate juice they had definite improvements in their erectile function. Interestingly however 31 percent of the men who were drinking the other fruit juice also said that they had noticed an improvement in their erectile function which means that the placebo effect came into play significantly.
Other research that we have done at Ukmedix News shows that the placebo effect of erectile dysfunction medication is extremely big, much more so than normal medicines. Some experts say that with erectile dysfunction medication the placebo effect can be as much as 40 percent and this is why impotence remedies such as ground tiger bone sold in China is still popular as it appears to work for almost half of all users.
Nevertheless with pomegranate juice there does seem to be some scientific basis for the increase in erectile function as it is extremely high in antioxidants that in turn can help the body manufacture the all important nitric oxide that is an essential component of good erectile function.
At Ukmedix News we feel that more research needs to be done on pomegranate juice before we can definitely declare it as an erectile function booster for men. However if you are down at the supermarket and you see on the shelves there is absolutely no harm in drinking it… who knows maybe it will work for you! ( :
