Nocturnal Erection Recovery

[djohn051]

Since I have began to supplement potassium, magnesium, vitamin D, and B-complex, I have seen a 100% recovery in my nocturnal erections for about 1-month. Unfortunately I have seen no increase in my libido or spontaneous erection function, and a possible worsening of my frequent urination symptoms.

I figured I would still share this for the sake of people who have zero erections. If anything, I think being able to have daily erections (in any capacity) is a good thing for reducing structural issues with penile tissue.

Did you try adding in aminos yet?

Not yet, I wanted my digestive system to get used to the magnesium in particular. What is your thinking in relation to aminos? Are some more important than others?

I noticed a similar thing when we did the electrolyte protocol trial. Woke up with (sometimes weak, sometimes ok) morning wood like 75% of the time. Normally it's once every few months if I'm lucky.

There must be some validity to it then! It's a shame it does nothing for my actual sex drive nor my sexual erections.

Yeah that's something I haven't seen any improvement in either

Check what joekool is doing. Interesting.

You need all really in higher doses but mainly focusing on one's like histidine, cysteine and arginine. Also how come you are taking vitamin D, that kills my libido, even too much Mag kills my libido too.

Could you provide a link please

I will purchase those aminos for supplementation. Vitamin D is apparently useful in dopamine synthesis, as well as increasing T. It's hard for me to comment on the effect it has had on my libido because my libido has been at 0% for years.

I would find a supplement that has all aminos though so u stay balanced you need more than just those if you read the protocol. Something like this supplement has all aminos in good active forms with histidine being in HCL form

@HS would you recommend this in addition to the ARL supplements? Or should all that be included in ARL?

Isn't that pretty low dose on the aminos? I used to take Whey protein and it had exponentially larger servings than this does.

I agree, those doses are teeny tiny. I use this:

yeah but you just open the capsules and put it in water so just do multiple capsules. The serving size is just one pure capsule plus they don't use fillers so everything you are getting is just like pure powder if you open the capsule

You are missing ariginine, Alanine, taurine , citrulline etc and all the other amino acids though those are only EAAs unless you want to buy them all the missing aminos separately...plus we don't even know what "dose" is the most effective yet

 

[MNK99]

There should be like 18 amino acids or so? My whey has 18... Allmax 90% whey. Lean 120g zero sugar zero fat (near it at least), 27gp. -it has all those + methionine, etc.
-Also Beef Liver caps?... have a lot too, but may not be good for some (also California proposition 65 IIRC states may cause reproductive harm (may be bs, but just in case)).
-Also good amino selection there rite? have not used those in 4 yrs, plus that law tripped me out. -Even if it does not apply to Liver, It did scare me and discontinued use after Effexor thing. -Friend said no big deal, others said get rid of it.

Yeah, I get arginine, taurine, citrulline, and a few others separately in 500mg caps. The complete amino caps with <50mg of most AAs always seemed super underdosed, since even 1 serving of egg or whey protein has about 10x that amount. EAA powder plus caps for the few missing AAs ends up being a lot cheaper than taking 10+ of the complete amino caps.

Heavily hydrolyzed whey protein isolate is I guess next best thing to a complete free-form amino supplement, but I have a hard time finding domestic (U.S.) whey protein isolate that's actually undergone thorough hydrolysis and doesn't have fillers/flavoring.

So you are taking 12 amino acid supplements separately (there are 21 amino acids) on top of the NOW EAA? Whatever aminos you are not taking, the others will push each other out of balance. That is what I'm saying that the caps are balanced so you can just increase the dose even more without worrying about things getting out of ratio, and like I said you just open up and empty the capsules out into water its the same as pure powder if you really wanted to crank up the dosage. So every time you take a serving of NOW EAA, you need to take arginine, for example otherwise lysine will cancel out the arginine and this goes all for other aminos since they act on ratios. Seems easier just to take the aminos in good forms that are balanced than take 12+ different capsules a day along with a big jug of powder with you.

Also, we already know that you don't need that much of histidine or cysteine to be effective (some people respond less than 100mgs).

I agree though that whey or egg white protein powder can work too, but it requires an extra step since your body needs to digest and break the protein down first and then absorb the aminos. If your digestion and metabolism are shit you won't be getting much of it (let alone the amino forms in whey aren't in HCL form, which are superior in absorption).

Edit: and if you find and a full spectrum amino supplement in powder form, let me know as I would be interested and think we could add it electrolytes protocol as it would simplify things much easier (that is why I like the caps now)

Is there a product with all Aminos in it or not? I guess not after reading the lines above, right? What is best? NAC?
