Can a compelling compound extracted from the juice of this surprising vegetable, commonly found in supermarkets, help create breathtaking erections? Unexpectedly, the answer is yes! In this article, I will explain this impressive secret weapon for erectile dysfunction. Is it better than sildenafil the ED drug?
You might have eaten this amazing vegetable, because it is used in many dishes like: Burgers. Risotto. Hummus. Cakes. Soups. Borscht, a traditional soup in Ukraine and Russia.
What exactly is this awesome plant? The scientific name is beta vulgaris, but you see it in the supermarket as beetroot!
So how do know that you have actually eaten beetroot and not something else? Well, weirdly, eating beetroot will make your pee and your poo turn red! But don’t be scared! It doesn’t mean that you are bleeding inside. Beetroot has a pigment called betanin that comes out into the toilet.
By the way, a lot of olympic athletes believe in the miracle of the beetroot juice. We will get to why in a minute.
Now, you might be wondering: what does the beetroot have to do with the penis? Well, in order for your penis to get hard, it needs a lot of blood to go into it. It’s like a balloon. The more blood in your penis, the harder it gets. But to open your blood vessels and let blood gush into the penis, you need your body to make something called nitric oxide.
And according to this scientific review, nitric oxide is made in a chain of reactions from something called nitrates. It turns out that beetroot has a ton of nitrates, which turn into nitric oxide that then improve blood flow to your penis. Basically, if you eat a lot of beetroot, you will have a lot more nitrates in your body to make nitric oxide that makes the penis hard.
Okay, some of you might not care so much by all this scientific explanation, and just want to know one thing: is there evidence that nitric oxide actually work for erections? The answer is yes! That’s according to this study from 2022.
Also, the researchers in this study believe that when your body doesn’t have a high enough level of nitric oxide, you may have problems making an erection. What it means is that you need enough nitric oxide to have a good erection.
Besides erectile dysfunction, did you know that beetroot is the breakfast of champions? Apparently, many Olympic athletes are drinking beetroot juice just before their race to win gold metals. For example, according to The New York Times, quote: beetroot juice is reportedly a staple among British track and field athletes at the Olympics, including Mo Farah.”
How beetroot astonishingly boosts the athletes’ performance is the same as how it improves erectile dysfunction. According to this study, experts suggest that eating nitrate-rich foods like beetroot can amplify your power during sprints. In other words, the nitrates in beetroot become nitric oxide that significantly enhances blood flow to your muscles.
So it looks like nitric oxide does work to boost erections and exercise performance.
But, you might ask: if nitric oxide is so good, why not just take it directly instead of going through the trouble of eating beetroot? Well, the problem is that nitric oxide is a gas at room temperature, so it’s difficult to take it. The best way is for your body to make it on its own from foods containing nitrates.
What about sildenafil ? How does beetroot compare to sildenafil ? Well, I didn’t find a study that compared the two. So, I don’t know. But I do know that if you don’t want to use a drug like sildenafil , I think beetroot juice is a great choice to try. If you have tried both, please leave a comment and let us know which one is better!
Okay, some of you might not be 100% convinced by beetroot, and might want to learn more about other non-medical methods to achieve a better erection. In fact, there are also other effective compounds you can consider.
