THE VIRILITY-ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM: THE GINSENG EFFECT

As I mentioned in Chapter 2, ginseng has already been shown to have an amazing ability to enhance erections. This herb contains many gensenosides, also called panaxosides, which are biologically active compounds thought to be responsible for its physiologic activity. If you have access to an Asian market, buy whole ginseng roots or “tails,” which are pieces trimmed off from the main root. The natural product is expensive, selling for as much as $20 to $30 an ounce, depending on availability. The roots and tails can be chopped, and the pieces steeped in hot water, to make a herbal tea.

How much or how often ginseng should be taken depends on personal need. For men who are thirty-five to fifty-five years old and in good health, small quantities—about one eighth of an ounce of prepared or whole root—may be taken regularly as a tonic. For older men, this dosage can be doubled to one fourth of an ounce taken daily.

A much easier solution is to buy commercially prepared ginseng tonics, powders, and capsules; health food stores and pharmacies stock them. Be sure to check labels for gensenoside or panaxoside content. Price is another indicator of quality; look for higher-priced products manufactured by a reputable company. To get maximum results, follow the label directions.
