Introducing Affirm
GET BACK UP WITH AFFIRM!
AFFIRM helps men support strong and hard erections promoting healthy blood flow to their penis. When you get an erection, blood flows into your penis and is temporarily trapped there, creating pressure in the surrounding chambers that causes your penis to expand.
AFFIRM® is NATURAL and PURE with no additives or preservatives.
The dose recommended during treatment with Shock Wave Therapy is two pills twice a day. After treatment, the recommended dose is two pills per day with or without food.
Affirm Ingredients
AFFIRM contains four (4) natural ingredients:
- L-Citrulline: an amino acid that promotes the production nitric oxide, a natural compound that facilitates blood vessel health and maintains blood flow
- Beet Root: an antioxidant that is also a potent source of nitrates for nitric oxide production
- Asian Ginseng: used in many studies to support healthy erectile function
- Muira Puama: a Brazilian herb known as “potency wood”
L-Citrulline
L-Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid. Your kidneys change L-Citrulline into another amino acid called L-Arginine and a compound called Nitric oxide. These compounds are important to your heart and blood vessel health, and nitric oxide promotes circulation which is the secret to hard, firm, healthy erections.
You might be wondering why AFFIRM has L-Citrulline rather than L-Arginine.
For men looking to produce strong, hard erections. Scientific studies have proven L-Citrulline supplementation increases blood levels of L-Arginine more effectively than supplementation of L-Arginine alone. L-Citrulline also helps support a healthy vessel lining by activating another very important compound for growing blood vessels called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
VEGF maintains the function of the blood vessels throughout the body, including within the corpus cavernosum – the sponge-like regions of erectile tissue that contains most of the blood in the penis during penile erection.
It has been scientifically demonstrated that L-Citrulline supports erectile hardness in men promoting healthy penile blood pressures, and nitric oxide levels in rat experimental models.
L-Citrulline may affect the way certain drugs work in your body. Do not take this supplement if you are taking nitrates for heart disease.
Beet Root
Consuming beet root extract has three main benefits:
As a source of nitrate, ingesting beet root provides a natural means of supporting nitric oxide (NO) availability in the bloodstream, which promotes healthy blood pressure already withing normal ranges, and supports function of the endothelium (or lining) of blood vessels. Healthy blood flow into the penis means healthy erectile firmness.
Beet root is an exceptionally rich source of antioxidant compounds which protect cellular components from oxidation. They suppress free radical formation and directly scavenge reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. This protects against oxidative damage to DNA, lipid and protein structures. The antioxidant capacity of beet root juice is higher than almost all fruit and vegetable juices.
Beet root, a natural nitric oxide donor, has been explored as a nutritional approach to preserve endothelial function. Because NO mediates many of the endothelium’s functions it has great value, a depletion of NO availability that may occur with aging. Supporting nitric oxide production helps maintain blood vessel function with age.
Asian Ginseng
Asian Ginseng has been investigated to help maintain healthy erectile function. One pilot study using 60 subjects were given three grams of Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) in three daily doses of 1 gram with meals for 12 weeks. Korean Red Ginseng appeared to be effective, with 66.6% of the patients in the KRG group reporting healthy erections while the placebo group was not significantly different from baseline.
Another blind study with a larger sample (86) noted that regular Panax Ginseng over a period of 8 weeks, dosed at 1,000 milligrams twice daily (daily dose totaling two grams) found significant value in erectile function as assessed by the same rating scale.
A systemic review conducted on Korean Red Ginseng assessing seven randomized controlled trials found consistent benefits associated with Red Ginseng Extract, with doses ranging from 600 milligrams taken three times a day (totaling 1,800 milligrams) in four studies or 900 milligrams taken three times daily (totaling 2,700 milligrams) in two studies (one cited).
The conclusion was that there is a moderate level of evidence currently that Panax Ginseng has potential in helping erectile function and appears to be more well-researched than other herbs catered to promote erectile function – it still needs some stronger research though.
Muira Puama
The herbs Muira Puama (commonly known as Potency Wood) grows in regions surrounding Brazil and is said to help enhance sexual function, especially in older men. It has usage as both a vitality and sexuality enhancer as well as a nerve tonic by the Amazonian people.
Two studies on Muira Puama and sexuality in humans noted benefits, although conclusions drawn from these two are limited due to the inclusion of Ginkgo Biloba. Studies show a small to moderate benefits in sexuality in both genders affecting approximately 2/3 of participants.
One study conducted in men using 1000-1500 milligrams of a 4:1 extract of Muira Puama noted that 51% of respondents reported benfits in erectile function after two weeks of usage.
