watermelon viagra

Men desiring for some excitement in their sexual love you may desire to jump the hamburgers and beer at the barbeque and eat plenty of watermelon.

Watermelon may be a natural Sildenafil citrate, says a investigator. That's because the popular summer fruit is plenteous than experts believed in an amino acid called citrulline, which unbends and dilates blood vessels much like Viagra and other drugs intended to treat male erecticle dysfunction .

"We have known that watermelon has citrulline," says Bhimu Patil, PHD, director of the Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center at Texas A&M University, College Station. Until recently, he tells WebMD, scientists thought most of the citrulline was in the watermelon rind. "Watermelon has more citrulline in the edible part than previously believed," he states.

How could watermelon be a natural Viagra? The aminoalkanoic acid citrulline is changed over into the amino acid arginine, Patil tells. "This is a precursor for nitric oxide, and the nitric oxide will help in blood vessel dilation." .

So, the burning question : How much watermelon does it take? .

"That is a good enquiry," Patil states. Alas, "I don't have an answer for that." .

He does know that a distinctive 4-ounce serving of watermelon (about 10 watermelon balls) has about 150 mgs of citrulline. But he can't say how much citrulline is needed to have Viagra-like effects.

He's promising that someone will pick up on his enquiry and study the fruit's effect on penile erections.
