L-arginine
L-arginine has long been a favorite supplement for bodybuilders but there are many other health benefits to using this supplement. It is often referred to as "Nature's Viagra". L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid that is not produced naturally by the body. We must get l-arginine from our diet. L-arginine is found naturally in foods like fish, nuts, seeds and raisins.
Many studies have shown that L-Arginine is quite useful in supporting basic bodily functions like the secretion of hormones and boosting the immune system. It is also an outstanding anti-oxidant. L-arginine is at least partially responsible for the production of nitric oxide that runs through your body. It also helps veins expand or dilate (which is crucial for penis enhancement). Viagra is also expected to enhance the action of nitric oxide, which relaxes the muscles that surround the blood vessels that supply the penis. L-arginine must be taken every day to experience the full benefits.

C-nidium
Cnidium Monnier has been used for hundreds of years to stimulate the sex organs. Cnidium increases the amount of nitric oxide in the body, which ends up helping to produce cGMP which relaxes the muscles around the penis allowing it to swell. It also inhibits PDE-5 which helps to create longer lasting erections.
Cnidium is known throughout China as She Chuang Zi and is quite a popular herb throughout the world, known for it's health benefits and acting as a sexual tonic. The plant itself grows all throughout China. The seeds are known as she chuang zi and are yellow in color and smell slightly sweet. It also has been found throughout Korea, Mongolia and Russia. Recently, Cnidium has been found in a few spots in the United States.
