Erectile dysfunction has gone nutty !

During the Canton Fair 2007 in Guangzhou in April, I first saw the new wonder-pill that is supposed to help erectile dysfunction and “enhance sexual ability”, just like what Viagra or Cialis has been doing for the hundred of thousands of men around the world.

This pill is not created from drug but from walnut kernel extract.

Today, in our local newspapers,The Straits Times, it printed a report by The Star newspapers of Malaysia that a team of Malaysian researchers has just developed a similar tablet name N-Hanz which is comparable to Viagra. Like the one I saw in China, this N-Hanz has to be taken 1 hour prior to sexual performance and will last for about four hours. This looks like going to outshine Tongkat Ali, the potent herb of Malaysia that was supposedly a safe alternative to Viagra.

The active ingredients they found inside the walnut which will cause the enlargement of the blood vessels and enhances blood flow in the male sexual organ is “arginine, an amino acid that is absorbed into the body and converted into nitric acid”

It was also said that “because it is not a drug, it is safe for those with hypertension or diabetes or (those) who have recently had heart bypasses”.My salute to those who recently had heart bypasses and still wanting to go for such sexual thrill! They can sure shout “I’m coming” because Heaven’s waiting.

What is amazing is that it said that “a person would need to eat about 3.3kg of walnuts for the same effect as one tablet”. I wonder if the Romans and French had been eating so much regularly to achieve such effect since one of the researchers said that he read about them which led him to conduct the research.

Did the Malaysian researchers know that the Chinese had launched the products 2 months before?
