My Top 5 Supplements That Are As Potent As Viagra [Almost]  

I have tried and experimented with almost any ‘sexual’ supplement under the sun.

And here is the ugly truth: Most of them are a complete waste of time and money. 😡

But I have found supplements that work. Really freaking well! 👍

And in this guide, I will reveal my favorite 5 supplements (actually 6 – I have added a bonus) and I will explain exactly how they help you ‘get it up’ and ‘keep it up’.

But not only that, I will tell you how to take them, when to take them, and I will even give you links so you can go and purchase the exact supplements that I use.

These supplements not only make it easier to ‘get it up’ (like Viagra), but they have 2 additional amazing sexual effects.

Let’s start by understanding these 3 sexual effects.

Not only do these supplements produce firmer erections, but they can also make sex even better.

Meaning, what some of these supplements do is to increase the pleasurable sensations I experience when having sex.

In other words, these supplements amplify and intensify the joy and bliss from having sex, by making the sexual sensations stronger and more pronounced.

They take sex to a new level. 👍

So if sex could be measured on a scale from 0-10 before, when taking some of these supplements, the scale (for me) is increased to perhaps 0-12.

Dopamine is important for two main reasons:

Firstly, it is critical in order for you to have a libido.

Let’s say you see a beautiful woman walking down the street and she catches your attention.

You look at her again. What just happened?

Why did you look at her? Why did you stop, turn around and look at her again?

What happened was that a burst of dopamine was produced in your brain, and this dopamine motivated you to have sex with her.

Yeah I know, it sounds crazy. But it is really what your brain wanted you to do.

Btw, hopefully you didn’t run up to her to try to have sex with her. 😆

Secondly, dopamine is paramount in order for you to get erections.

Meaning, in order to get an erection in the very first place, you need a certain amount of dopamine.

When you are stimulated sexually (by a touch, a kiss, a thought, etc.) dopamine is produced in your brain.

This dopamine then travels to the back of your brain, down the spinal cord, to the nerves in your penis and finally to the corpora cavernosa in your penis.

There dopamine instructs your blood vessels to produce nitric oxide.

And we already learned that nitric oxide is paramount in order for you to get an erection.

We now know the 3 sexual effects these supplements can have (erections, sensations, libido), and we know the pathways through which they produce these effects (testosterone, nitric oxide, dopamine).

Let’s now understand the 3 critical ‘things’ you need to know in order to make these supplements work for you: Quality, timing and dosage.

I have learned that most supplements are a waste of time and money. Most of them, despite good intentions, simply don’t work.

Therefore:

Based on hundreds of experiments, I have learned that there are three really important aspects to succeeding with these supplements:

As I mentioned, I have experimented with almost any ‘sexual’ supplement under the sun, and these are my 5 top ones.

Below, I will explain how each of them work, which of the 3 effects they produce for me, and also how much I take of each of them.

In addition, I will talk about one bonus supplement that has amazing properties.

Let’s start with L-arginine.

Let me explain from the beginning:

The inner lining of your blood vessels are covered with cells that are called endothelial cells.

Inside these endothelial cells sit a group of enzymes, called nitric oxide synthase.

These are the ‘factories’ that produce nitric oxide.

And they produce nitric oxide by stealing a nitrogen atom from L-arginine, and combining it with an oxygen atom from molecular oxygen.

And as you supplement with L-arginine, you will have more ‘fuel’ to create nitric oxide.

I also mentioned L-citrulline above. The two molecules are super similar, but I prefer L-citrulline.

Let me explain:

Why?

Because it does not undergo transformations in your gut or liver (or at least to a much smaller extent).

And:

When it reaches your kidneys, it is transformed to L-arginine.

Which means that essentially all the L-citrulline is converted to L-arginine, which is then available for nitric oxide production.

This is what you want.

Although L-arginine and L-citrulline can be amazing at helping you get erections, they will typically not increase your libido nor increase your sensations from sex.

ZMA has impressive effects on my sexual abilities.

It helps me get erections more easily, it slightly increases my libido, and it also makes the sensations from sex even more enjoyable. 😉

How?

Scientific research has demonstrated that ZMA can do this by:

What is ZMA?

ZMA is a synthetically designed supplement which is normally used by athletes and bodybuilders to increase performance, and as a recovery aid after exercise.

The ZMA formula is composed of the following ingredients:

The reason zinc comes in aspartate and monomethionine form, and magnesium in aspartate form, is because these forms have a very high absorption rate in the body.

Zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 are all critical for energy production, cell metabolism, protein synthesis and muscle function. 

Although this supplement was intended for sportsmen and sportswomen, many men (me included) have noticed improvements in erectile function and sex drive from taking ZMA.

Let’s look at how ZMA can help you get better and stronger erections, and how it may also improve your libido. 😊

ZMA has in research studies, either via findings on ZMA itself, or its individual components (zinc, magnesium and B6), demonstrated an ability to increase testosterone production through the following pathways:

All of the above will normally help increase your testosterone production.

Also, both magnesium and vitamin B6 have in research studies demonstrated an ability to improve the production of nitric oxide.

They both do this by improving the endothelial nitric oxide synthase function.

In addition, all the ingredients in ZMA have in research studies shown that they are important for healthy dopamine production.

Researchers have found that zinc is one of the most important minerals that regulates dopamine.

It does this by regulating dopamine receptors. Therefore, in order for these receptors to work properly, they need zinc.

Studies have also shown that increased zinc levels are correlated with increased dopamine production.

Magnesium is also essential in order for you to have a healthy dopamine production, as it supports the functioning of the dopamine neuron.

In studies, treatment with magnesium has been shown to significantly support dopamine health.

Vitamin B6 is also important for production of dopamine, as it’s one of the ingredients needed in the dopamine production process.

Research studies have also shown that in individuals that have excess prolactin levels, administration of vitamin B6 can not only help to normalize the prolactin levels, but also normalize the dopamine levels.

Pine bark can be a very potent supplement for stronger erections, and it is one of my absolute favorites.

How does pine bark help you get firmer wood?

Pine bark does this through the following pathways:

Tribulus Terrestris can help you boost your erections. But not only that..

It can also increase your libido. And take sex to an entirely new level. 🙂

How?

Research studies have demonstrated that Tribulus Terrestris can do this by:

Several scientific studies have shown that this herb can increase the production of your testosterone. And as you have already learned, testosterone as the primary male sex hormone supports everything sexual that is happening inside you.

Therefore, in order to function well sexually, you simply need a healthy level of testosterone.

Tribulus can also increase your nitric oxide production, which you need in order for blood to flow into your penis and make it erect.

Antioxidants are great as they help preserve more of the nitric oxide that you produce.

Of all the herbal supplements, Tribulus is my favorite. It gives me such amazing effects that it is sometimes difficult to understand that a simple plant can do this.

When I take 7 grams of a high quality Tribulus supplement, and when I combine it with other supplements (more about that in a little), the results I experience are astonishing.

My erections are super firm and solid, and they last for as long as I want to have sex.

But perhaps the most amazing effect is how Tribulus boosts the pleasurable sensations I feel when having sex. This herb really takes sex to a new level for me!

Tongkat Ali can help produce very impressive erections. And it is one of my go-to supplements when I want a real boost.

This herb can also increase your sex drive. In fact, it may even take sex to  level you did not know existed before. 😊

But how does Tongkat Ali do this?

Garlic is an amazing vegetable that supports several functions in your body. But not only that. It also improves sexual health.

Really? How?

Garlic supports your sexual health via the following pathways:

The major biologically active component of garlic is something called allicin.

However, allicin is not found in healthy or ‘uncut’ garlic. The garlic plant produces this allicin when it is attacked by fungi or other soil pathogens. Allicin causes damage to the intruders, and is therefore the garlic’s defence mechanism against microbial pathogens.

When allicin is created, it turns into a variety of fat and water soluble sulfur-containing compounds. These compounds release hydrogen sulfide, which is part of garlic’s unmistakable smell and taste.

Hydrogen sulfide, a foul-smelling gas (found in rotten eggs for instance), has relatively recently been found to have vasodilating properties in penile tissues, similarly to nitric oxide.

However, while nitric oxide works via the cGMP system (which is also the target of PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra), hydrogen sulfide is known to directly open potassium channels, and therefore cause relaxation in penile tissue this way.

So it’s not only nitric oxide that can cause the blood vessels in your penis to open up and expand, but hydrogen sulfide can also do this.

Hence, both nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide can help you get erections.

Not only does garlic improve smooth muscle relaxation via hydrogen sulfide, but also via nitric oxide. In other words, garlic directly supports your erections from two angles.

Research studies have shown that garlic promotes what is called nitric oxide synthase (the enzyme that produces nitric oxide).

So when this enzyme is more efficient at producing nitric oxide, you will also have higher levels of nitric oxide.

One study on rats showed that garlic extract increased nitric oxide production by 30-40%, within 60 minutes of administration.

In studies on rats fed with garlic extract, researchers have also found a 25% increase in testosterone levels, compared to control groups.

The rats given garlic also demonstrated improved testicular integrity and function.

In addition, the rats administered with garlic also saw a significant increase in testicular weight.

Garlic is rich in zinc and selenium, and it has been theorized that these compounds could be responsible for the increase in testosterone.

If you have elevated levels of glucose and cholesterol in your blood, garlic consumption can help you reduce these levels.

This will make your blood thinner and make it flow more easily in your body.

Also, with less glucose and cholesterol in your blood, there will over time be less deposits of these components inside your blood vessels, and you will as a result have less clogging of your arteries, or atherosclerosis.

With thinner blood and less clogging, your blood is allowed to flow more freely through your veins. This will in turn help prevent or reduce erectile dysfunction.

In addition, research has also shown that garlic can reduce diabetes.

Would you like to use the exact supplements that I use?

As mentioned earlier, most of the supplements I have purchased have been a waste of money and time.

But some have worked exceptionally well.

To help you and other men who want the tried and tested high quality supplements, I have put them all in one place. Here you can purchase them off either Amazon or Ebey.

You find the supplements here.

I have also mentioned that I prefer to take most supplements in powder form instead of capsules or tablets. This is the case for all of the ones mentioned above except for ZMA and garlic.

ZMA I take in capsules, and garlic I eat raw.

There is one problem with taking 3 of these supplements in powder form (Pine bark, Tribulus Terrestris and Tongkat Ali):

They taste absolutely awful! 😆

What I did initially was to mix the supplements in water and drink them. But the taste was often so bad I wanted to scream!

So what I do now instead, is that I put these 3 supplements in capsules (using a capsule making set). When I swallow the capsules, there is zero taste.

You find capsules and a capsule maker set here, but you can also simply go to amazon or any other online retailer and search for capsule maker set + capsules and you should find it.

However, this is a bit of a hassle, so perhaps the first time you try these supplements, you just want to be brave. Meaning, mix them in water and drink it up.

What I did after drinking them, was to already have a teaspoon ready with honey. And as soon as I had swallowed the supplements mixture, I ate the honey. Wasn’t too bad. 👍

I have mentioned that the effect of these supplements can be even more astonishing when combining several of them at the same time. Let me explain:

After I had my epiphany with Tribulus Terrestris and then later experimented with more supplements in high doses, I started combining various supplements.

And the effects I got from this were even more amazing.

The combinations were even more reliable than taking just one supplement. And these combinations normally produced astonishing results pretty much every time.

The effects were also stronger and more intense.

Why is this the case?

Well for starters, when I take a combination of 4 supplements instead of just 1, I take a larger volume of supplements, which should improve the effect.

But also, many of these supplements work in different ways. Meaning, they impact the body via different pathways.

For instance, one supplement may increase nitric oxide via one pathway, while another supplement may make the enzyme nitric oxide synthase more efficient at making nitric oxide.

Just like one supplement may increase testosterone via one pathway and another supplement may increase testosterone via another pathway.

Therefore, by taking more than one supplement at the same time, I can impact several production channels of these three key elements. Hence, I can get increased total production, and also, they can support each other and thereby have synergistic effects.

The end result: Effects that are even more intense and more reliable, than taking just one individual supplement.

The first supplements I combined?

L-arginine and Pine bark.

I wanted to try because I had read research studies about this combination, and the reported effects were impressive.

And the effects I got were really good! Particularly my erections were firmer and harder.

I then added one more supplement to the mix. And then another one.

And I then experimented with several combinations of these supplements.

What I have learned is that combinations work really well! 👍

And what I have found is that a base combination of three supplements, L-citrulline, Pine bark and ZMA + one herbal supplement, typically works incredibly well for me.

So for instance, if I take L-citrulline (7 grams) + Pine bark (7 grams) + ZMA (0.5 grams) + Tribulus Terrestris (7 grams), I normally get amazing effects.

Normally my libido increases.

My erections come super easily. They are also normally super hard and full, and don’t fade during sex.

And the pleasurable sensations I experience when having sex are significantly more intense than normal.

It normally doesn’t matter too much which herbal supplement I take (of the two mentioned above), because they both normally work really well.

And the effects I normally get when combining supplements this way are not just great, they are to me fantastic!

I will go as far as to say that when taking supplements in these combinations, my erections are so hard and so firm, that they are on par with the erections I got from pharmaceutical drugs such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.

But..

To me these supplements are much better than Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.

Because these combinations also give me two effects that pharmaceutical drugs don’t give me: They increase libido and amplify the pleasurable sensations from sex.

And not only that, but pharmaceutical drugs typically give me bad side effects such as a flushed red face, stuffy nose, blurred vision and sometimes headaches.

I have never gotten any negative side effects from supplements.

In fact, many of the supplements have several positive side effects. Meaning that they have other positive effects on your body, other than the sexual ones.

Some supplements contain lots of antioxidants, are antibacterial, restore hormonal imbalances, cure illnesses, etc.

So I have had great results taking large doses of supplements and even combining large doses of several supplements.

But is this safe?

Is it safe to take these supplements in the doses that I have been taking?

In the combination I mentioned above, there would be 3×7 grams + 0.5 grams, which is more than 20 grams.

Is this not too much?

The answer is that I simply don’t know. I am also not aware of any reputable studies that have looked into these supplements in large doses.

Neither am I a doctor. I am just a guy that has done a lot of experimentation. 😀

What I can say however, after having taken supplements in these doses for several years, is that I have never noticed any negative side-effects or experiences.

Even when I have taken them 3 times a week, I noticed no negative effects.

However, it’s of course possible that there could be accumulated negative effects that will only present themselves in time.

Also, even if I have never experienced any negative effects, that does not mean that these are 100% safe. I simply don’t know.

Should you want to try these supplements in these doses, it is possible that your body will react differently. It is therefore possible that you may experience negative side effects.

Therefore, if you choose to take any of these supplements, you do this 100% at your own risk.

All the best and good luck,
Johnathan
