Herbal viagra supplements give same boost, but without the pharmaceuticals (or the cost)

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

There's an alternative to viagra that works far better at a greatly reduced price: medicinal herbs. These herbs -- like yohimbe, horny goat weed and rainforest herbs like catuaba and muira puama -- produce strong aphrodisiac effects, but without stripping your wallet bare.

Let's face it: Viagra is popular because it's backed by a hundred million dollars in advertising, promotion and hype. But it's not the only way to get it on, nor is it the best way. In fact, most men who take Viagra actually need something far different: better nutrition, strength training and cardiovascular exercise. Nothing boosts the hormones like a good round of lifting weights, technically speaking. And outstanding nutrition -- instead of all the junk food and refined sugars most people eat -- supports a healthy libido.

There's something else, too: many men needing Viagra are actually suffering from side effects of other prescription drugs. Statins, for example, interfere with the body's ability to manufacture cholesterol, and cholesterol is the precursor to sex hormones. If you take statins, you're practically giving yourself a case of impotence.

The solution, of course, is to stop feeding yourself an endless chain of prescription drugs to correct biochemical imbalances. Instead, drop all the drugs and start taking care of your health. Healthy men who follow good nutritional habits, who work out and who engage in strength training maintain their mojo well into their 60's and 70's. Yet many people taking Viagra are in their 40's and 50's.

Drugs are not the answer, but if you think you need Viagra, try herbal viagra instead. It's far cheaper and just as effective.
