Zoraxel Attacks Central Nervous System
(Tues, 27 Dec 2011)
The words erectile dysfunction pill and PDE-5 inhibitor are nearly synonymous. Viagra, Cialis and Levitra all belong to this category of chemicals, which temporarily treat erectile dysfunction by affecting enzymes to increase genital blood flow. The newly trademarked impotence drug Zoraxel, on the other hand, is something else entirely.

Originally developed to increase antibiotic effectiveness, the active ingredient in Zoraxel has now been patented by Rexahn Pharmaceuticals for use against erectile dysfunction in men and as a libido improver in women. What makes Zoraxel different from its major competitors is that it effectively ignores the physical act of the erection and acts directly on the brain.

(Tues, 6 Sept 2011)

Exercise To Lose Weight And Improve Sexual Health
(Mon, 15 Aug 2011)
Obesity has long been linked to other conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes and impotence. If you are currently carrying a bit of excess weight, you are probably tired of hearing about it. But, there is good news to be had: if your erectile dysfunction is a by-product of high body fat, even a small weight loss can increase sexual function. Those are the findings of researchers at University of Adelaide, which were published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine this month.

Scientists are not quite sure why, but it has long been known that obesity damages the endothelium, a thin layer of cells found throughout the circulatory system that reduces turbulence and allows the blood to keep its momentum and reach even the most remote blood vessels. Because an erection is basically a cardiac event - the penis hardens due to increased blood flow into the erectile tissue - endothelial health is a crucial factor in erectile health.
