What’s the most efficient way to diffuse sexual energy? Through the humble grapefruit, that’s what! For years, men have used this fruit as the basis of a medicine known as Viagra.
What’s the difference between a medicine and a food additive? The latter usually refers to flavors like cherry or orange that you find in pop or soda. A famous example is stevia, which is used to make Diet Coke and others sweeter. A food additive is generally recognized as safe while a medicine is not.
With food additives and certain supplements, the dose makes a difference. Take Viagra for example: one pill every day or one every two days may not be as effective as two or three pills per day. The exact same principle applies with stevia and other popular herbs like ginseng and yohimbe.
The point is that just because food additives are safe does not mean they’re without side effects. Like any medicine, mixing them with other substances or taking them at extreme doses can cause problems. For instance, combining grapefruit with yohimbé can cause severe kidney damage.
How Does It Work?
Let’s take a quick trip back in time to 1955, when the active ingredient in grapefruit was first isolated and identified.
Back then, doctors knew very little about how drugs worked. So, it wasn’t until 1957 that the first comprehensive study of grapefruit and its effects was published.
That same year, scientists in Europe reported that a substance in grapefruit effectively lowered cholesterol, especially the LDL kind. A few years later, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of grapefruit for lowering cholesterol. And since then, a wealth of research has backed up these initial findings. It’s now known that vitamin C, flavonoids, and grapefruit’s powerful combination of citrus and niacin may all play a role in lowering cholesterol and protecting the heart. So while we can’t promise that your heart will thank you for trying grapefruit, we can promise that it will not be offended by your efforts!
The Combination Of Viagra And Grapefruit
While traditional healers have known for centuries that grapefruit can help with a variety of ailments, science has only recently validated these claims. Since 1957, the use of the combination of Viagra and grapefruit has skyrocketed as people have sought out this synergistic herbal remedy for impotence and heart disease. Even today, with scientific findings supporting its use in so many ways, grapefruit is still considered by many to be the king of all fruits when it comes to increasing sexual vitality.
Why? Well, aside from the obvious fact that it’s delicious, grapefruit has been found to boost the sexual appetite of both men and women. Furthermore, it can also enhance the effectiveness of anti-impotence medications like Viagra. While grapefruit’s reputation as a heart healthy fruit might explain its popularity as a sexual booster, its efficacy in this area is not entirely clear and requires further study.
When Should You Take It?
Depending on your health condition, the answer to this question is rather complicated. As with any medicine, the dosage you need will vary from person to person. So, if you meet the following criteria, try taking grapefruit the same way you would a prescription drug:
- You’re in good health
- You’re not currently taking any medications
- You’re not allergic to grapefruit
- You want to try something new and different
In these cases, you can consume grapefruit daily or every other day to see the best effects. Remember, too, that the juice of this fruit is just as nutritious as its fruit counterparts and even more so when freshly squeezed.
So, if you think that you might benefit from consuming grapefruit, be sure to try some out. Not only will you not be disappointed, you may also discover a new fruit that your tastebuds will thank you for trying. And if not, you’ll still have a tasty and healthy snack to enjoy!
