cd998776 could you provide us a link/s to
long term scientific studies which could
indicate that extended use of borage oil
may cause liver damage or cause cancer
development ?
If this has been proven then I think it is
extremely important to all people who use
borage oil orally on long term basis.
Cheers !

I've been looking at alot of fish oil
lately...Most have about 33% epa/dha, and
every now and again I see one with about
55% (the 1 I bought).
I really haven't seen any 75-80%, can
anybody direct me to it?
Thanks
also gla and 20-24% seem to be the high
that i've seen.

Just google fish oil and 75% and you'll
eventually find them. I can assure you,
they are out there.

noticed the fish oil I gave isnt working.
Heres another link to the same one I use

24% is about the highest I have seen for
gla from borage oil... Unless anyone can
provide a purchase link here ....

i still don't see the "ratio" of epa on
that link you posted, just that there is
2300mg (alot!) but 9 grams of fat. How
is one to figure the % on that? Isn't it
like 25%? Please straighten me out on
that.
Learn4life, out of curiosity--where does
the 3000mg fish+borage and 1500mg
l-arginine recommendation come from?
I was reading ritz and he mentions gla but
doesn't say how much. Even mentions
evening primose, which I find at 9% gla
instead of 20-24% like borage.
Peace!

(r) actually cod liver oil has slightly
more dha to epa ratio than fish oil.
The ratio is somewhere like 55% dha 45%
epa roughly. I have benefited from this
brand of cod oil for a few years now. I
dont use this one for penile massage as I
find borage too be more effective over the
years.
I think cd998776 meant the 75% ratio of
the omega nutrients based on both. I
havent seen a 75% ratio of just epa on
fish/cod oils unless anyone can provide a
purchase link ???
Learn4life, out of curiosity--where does
the 3000mg fish+borage and 1500mg
l-arginine recommendation come from?
(r)
from my own experience and recommended by
Dr.Lin to my personal health and desired
effects at the time. I would recommend
people to start of with the minimal dosage
to see if this is enough and then
re-evaulate over a few weeks. The
l-arginine I started of with 1gram and
went away up to 5 -6 grams a day
gradually. No short term side effects
here but not sure on long term. The
higher doesage was an experiment to
produce a possible result.
I was reading ritz and he mentions gla but
doesn't say how much. Even mentions
evening primose, which I find at 9% gla
instead of 20-24% like borage.
(r) from experience on the evening primose
oils and borage oils, I have found borage
to be stronger in producing the elastic
hormone (pro-e1) around the body and
especially when massaged onto the dht
swelled up erection.
I would try taking 1000mg at first and
note effects if any and go up gradually.
You might benefit the desired affects from
the minimal dosage and therefore this way
would in turn give you a deeper pocket ;)
cheers and keep the questions comming !

My store sells cod liver oil but the label
doesn't say anything about gla, just gives
the vit. A & d content. Is there
good and bad cod liver oil?
When you say it has 55%dha 45% epa are you
saying that for 1 gram of omega 3 fatty
acid it has 550mg dha, and 450mg epa?
You want the most epa possible as opposed
to more dha?
Because I have been looking at total of
epa/dha (total omega3) divided by the
actual fish oil content.
Example: mine has 800mg fish oil (2
pills)
of that 800mg, 440mg is omega 3 acids.
Of those 440mg, 264mg epa and 176mg
dha.
So I have been assessing it as 55% omega
3.
That is a decent percent, right?
Does this question make any sense?
The reason I am asking is because my
stores here have many different brands, I
am looking for the best brand to purchase
it in the future. I prefer to buy stuff
online only as a last resort, bc in the
long term it becomes too much effort and I
will end up quitting.

But I still want to find out what's the

your asessment of the percentage of
epa+dha from the omega 3 acids are spot
on. The 800mg of fish oil from 2
softgels is very low. There should be
1000mg softge;s floating around in that
vitamin shop.
Gla is from borage/evening primrose oil
not fish/cod oils.
Btw how have you been getting on overall ?
Any improvements ?

Hello,
i'm 24 and have been having trouble
getting and maintaining an erection for
nearly one year now. As you might
imagine, this has greatly affected my
relatioinship with my girlfriend. I'm on
the verge of seeing a doctor, but before I
do that, I want to make sure i've explored
every avenue possible. Like many of you,
I don't want to believe that is 'in my
head'. I honestly do believe it is
something physical.
I've read that the combination of
l-arginine and pycogenol has improved
sexual health in men. I've been on 5g of
l-arginine and 100mg of pycnogenol daily
for about a week. So far, I have seen no
results. I hope that this is just because
I haven't been taking these supplements
for a long enough period. I was told that
since l-arginine is an amino acid, you can
take lots of it without any negative side
effects. In fact, some sources I have
read, state that bodybuilders often take
between 9-20g per day and have such
powerful erections that they must bend
over to urinate. Unfortunately, I have
yet to see those kind of results!
Anyways, i've been reading a lot of what
you guys have been saying about fish oil
and am keen to try it. Do you recommend
taking 1000g daily? Also, with the 5g of
l-arginine and 100mg of pycnogenol daily,
that's a lot of pills!! Any ways to cut
this down and still get results?
Thanks...

Many years ago I discovered that I could
increase the hardness of my erections by
taking phosphadityl choline. Before I
added the phosphadityl choline, I started
taking a zinc supplement with vitamin e.
When I started taking a zinc supplement my
gf could literally feel the difference.
These supplements are inexpensive and work
like a charm.
Later I discovered a wonderful herbal
supplement called rh sold by new body
products. I would take 1 or 2 rh
capsules the morning of the day that I
planned to have sex. Rh (rock hard)
contains damiana, sarsaprilla, slippery
elm, gotu kola, bee pollen, and
cayenne.
You can not buy it onlne as far as I
know.
The product is made by new body products.
I have an 800 number for a distributor in
georgia 1-800-841-2639

there are alot of times I think I do
notice an improvement, so I am continuing.
Hard to tell in the short term.
My big problem was a few yrs ago and it
was started by alcohol and sleeping pills
(haha, imagine that!) and developed into a
psych thing I couldn't get over. So then
I was hooked on viagra for awhile and
finally kicked that dependency.
Now that I am ok mentally it never hurts
to try and improve physical part.
I know it sounds like i'm a person trying
to do it while drinking and on sleeping
pills but I had a severe sleep disorder,
causing depression, etc... (the rest of
it is a long story!)

Rob_21,
thanks for the advice on the zinc. I
seriously think thats what made the
difference for me. I was taking
l-arginine 3x a day and pycnogenol 2x a
day, but when I added 50mg of zinc a day,
I went back to my old self! My erections
have been very hard and i've been able to
maintain them for long periods of time. I
could not believe it. I was struggling
for so long and was even about to go to
the urologist. I don't know if it's just
the zinc or the fact that I was also
taking the other supplements for a period
of time, but either way, i've had great
results! It's done wonders for me
confidence in a matter of days!

Pr11 - great to hear your doing well. Do
you think you could pm me or post on here
what exactly you were taking please.
Maybe even the make/brands if possible?
Also what was your situation beforehand?
Weak erections? How long did you have
them for?
Many thanks :)

rob,
for about 11 months my erections were very
weak and no matter what I tried, they
would not improve. I had put on about 15
pounds and have been under stress with
school so I thought that may be the
reason. But, even after I got back in
shape and lost the weight, I saw no
improvement.
A couple weeks ago, I read an old article
in men's health extoling the combination
of l-arginine and pycnogenol (an extract
from some sort of tree in france). It
stated that after 3 months of patients
taking l-arginine and pycnogenol, 92% had
had successful erection and been able to
maintain them.
So, I started taking l-arginine 1.5g three
times a day and pycnogenol 50mg twice a
day. The l-arginine was the gnc brand,
which I purchased through their website
and the pycnogenol is also under the gnc
name (preventice nutrition). I had read
that it takes time for sufficient levels
to build up, but I was getting anxious.
After about two weeks of taking these two
supplements, I read your response about
zinc, so I started taking 50mg every
morning (along with the l-arginine and
pycnogenol).
So far, the results have been phenomenol.
I could not be more satisfied. I can get
erections whenever I want and they last
for at least 30 min. I seriously thought
there was no hope for me to ever naturally
have an erection again.
Anyways, this is what men's health had to
say about the l-arginine/pycnogenol
mixture:
"pycnogenol, extracted from the bark of a
french pine tree, is aprecursor to
aspirin. It enhances blood flow to the
heart and to the penis. It also helps
restore elasticity and smoothness to the
skin by reinforcing collagen fibers and
strengthening the tiny capillaries, which
help nourish the cells. L-arginine is an
amino acid that is used by the body to
build protein. When l-arginine
supplements are taken in tandem with a
daily routine of physical activity, a
synergistic effect is produced that
markedly increases your production of
nitric oxide. This means greater blood
flow to all areas of the body, and
specifically to your penis."
let me know if you need any more info...

rob,
i was wondering if you knew of any side
effects to the zinc. Since i've started
taking it, the only complaint I have is
that I feel nauseous in the morning. Are
you supposed to take it with meals? I've
been taking it on an empty stomach.
Thanks...

hi,
ive been reading up on zinc and have read
on a quite a few websites that the zinc
levels have to be kept at a reasonable
level as, yes they can help with
impotence/ed but too much zinc can
actually cause impotence.
The rda (recommended daily amount is 15g)
for zinc. So your 50g a day is very high.
I would really try to cut down and see if
the effects are the same.
I also read just now that the ult (upper
level tolerance) is 40g. Which is the
most our bodies can take without having
bad effects.
There are also lots of other bad effects
linked with excess zinc. Heres a sample
from a website :
------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
excessive zinc intake will eventually
affect the balance and proper ratios to
numerous other important nutrients that
may include iron, calcium, selenium,
nickel, phosphorus, copper, as well as
vitamin a, b1, c, and others.
It may also cause, or contribute to
gastrointestinal problems, hair loss,
anemia, loss of libido, impotence,
prostatitis, ovarian cysts, menstrual
problems, depressed immune functions,
muscle spasms, sciatica, renal tubular
necrosis / interstitial nephritis,
dizziness and vomiting, among others.
cut down on it and let me know if
everything is still well! :) you dont
want to be cured by something that will
make things worse in the long run.
Rob :)
