@redsun is r5p the same as riboflavin or is riboflavin better for what you are saying it's good for?

Chris masterjohn has a video comparing R5P and riboflavin and thinks riboflavin is actually probably better then R5P.

Tradozone can cause priapism due to it's anti-adrenergic qualities for example, but they claim only 1 of 6000 gets that, the priapism is claimed for clitoris also.

Priapism is caused by proerectile neurotransmission that can't be turned off. Either by increased nitrenergic neurotransmission (pde5 inhibitors) or antagonism of adrenergic system (Trazodone). I didn't find the numbers for priapism by Viagra just now but 1/6000 doesn't seem that bad. Maybe priapism caused anti-adrenergic medication is harder to treat as the antidote medication competes for the same receptors.

It seems likely that there would be a therapeutic window for ED for any substances that can cause priapism as it is not possible without proerectile transmission. Some people on TRT forums have used anti-adrenergic drugs in adjunction to nitric oxide stack but there are not a lot of research or anecdotes for their use in ED. They can also cause retrogade ejaculation.

I wonder if just fixing cold hands would also make a difference.

Cold hands can be related to poor vasodilation. If vasodilation is improved through various means, it could improve vasodilation in erections. Or may not.

@redsun Right now, my attention / focus is divided in 3 areas:
  • sexual drive & libido
  • energy levels
  • mental state
I'll have to prioritize some supplements over another for budget reasons.

  • Niacinamide: The B complex I have has Niacin in it, so I'll have to order this separately.
  • Folic Acid. I have Folate, but as I understand, it's very different.
  • Vitamin C: this one is cheap, are you talking about the standard Vit. C pills, right? Though I should be getting plenty from juice,s shouldn't I?
  • Still, I will buy high-dose Vit. C tomorrow and start taking it
As for the meat, I now eat 1 serving of meat / day. Much less than when I was Carnivore, and less than I usually ate over the past 2 years.

Did you try any thyroid pill now or at past? what is your average pulse rate? throid lab tests can be ok, but Your brain can be very hypothyroid, you can try 1/4 tiromel or 1/4 bitiron with 100 gr honey and 3-4 eggs.

Keep in mind I am emphasizing B2 and folic acid specifically. Niacinamide will help as well. No need to do crazy doses of vitamin C, but you can take C, this is not going to be the determining part. High dose B2 and folic acid will be the determining part. This will help start back up nitric oxide and should start to remedy weak erections, and mentally I am sure it will help you when your erections improve. Meats provide lots of arginine, eggs or dairy provide very little keep this in mind. You want to input everything needed for NOS for maximal results.

B2 as plain riboflavin is the best and is very cheap and is the first thing I am recommending you get. If there is only room for one thing to get first, get B2. It usually comes in 100mg tablets. You can take 100mg once a day or, chop it up in half or into fourths and do 2x a day (breakfast, lunch) at 50mg or 25mg. Generally it is not recommended to take at night as some people get too stimulated by it. Helps a lot with energy personally for me as well as others who have used it B2 gets used up very quickly as it plays a role in activation of most of the other Bs. These high doses are very safe and very necessary to replete B2 stores as it takes time and consistency to build it back up but it should work quickly regardless.

Is folinic acid ok in place of folic acid? I know folate isn’t.

Might have to give it a try but also don't like how it can cause light sensitivity .

Never get light sensitivity from B2 which I have been taking for quite a while. But have from B6. And easily get light sensitivity if I take P5P at high enough doses in a short time.

@redsun I got Vit C 1000 mg and Folic Acid 5mg. Will start taking it today.
Could not find B2 at the local pharmacies.

Yeh idk if you have a vitamin store nearby where you live. Otherwise it would have to be gotten online. Let us know how things work out.

I started taking Folic Acid 10-15 mg and Vit. C 1-2g over the weekend, at @redsun recommendation. Coincidence or not. I got a full, strong, proper erection, as it hasn't been the case in months. Will do a 2-weeks trial and draw conclusions at the end.

@GreekDemiGod That's great news, hope the effects continue.

10 - 15mg folic acid seems like a huge dose? Most folic acid I'm seeing is sold in 400mcg doses?
Are you taking both before bed?

Any reason for the megadoses?

Don't get me wrong as I'm intending to try it too but everything I'm reading suggests it's not something many people following the advice here are likely to be deficient in? OJ, liver etc..
