Good sources of vitamin A include eggs, milk, liver, leafy green vegetables, tomatoes, fruit, and vegetable oils. You can get vitamin E through dairy, liver, eggs, fortified margarine, and oily fish. A good one-a-day supplement will also contain a good dose of antioxidants.
ZINC.
Have you ever heard of oysters being the ultimate aphrodisiac? Well, oysters’ high concentration of zinc is the reason. The prostate gland contains a high amount of zinc, and it is known to impact testosterone levels. High concentrations of zinc can also be found in the bone, eyes, liver, kidney, and pancreas.
The recommended daily intake of zinc is 11 to 20 milligrams. Besides oysters, excellent sources of zinc include baked beans, cereals, cashews, chicken, chickpeas, fortified cereal, peanuts, and toasted wheat germ. Zinc chelate is the most absorbable form of zinc if you are looking for a supplement.
L-ARGININE.
L-arginine is an amino acid that helps the body make proteins. Intake of the amino acid is also a requirement for the production of nitric oxide, a signaling molecule that helps promote and maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. Some research shows that regular l-arginine intake may help with erectile dysfunction (ED) in males and low sex drive in females.
Sources of l-arginine include dairy, fish, legumes, red meat, poultry, and seaweed. The recommended daily intake of l-arginine is 2 to 3 grams, three times per day. The efficacy and safety of l-arginine supplements are unclear, so opt for an organic or vegetable-based supplement.
