SUMMARY
Male erectile
dysfunctions are composed of the dysfunctions of libido, erection,
ejaculation and orgasm. One medical approach to solve this problem is
the use of natural medicine, i.e. the use of compounds derived from
natural sources rather than those of synthetic origins. Here, we conduct
a clinical trial to test the efficacy of Libilov's protodioscin, a
natural compound derived from the extract of a medicinal plant Tribulus
terrestris. In this test, we study the sex drive, erection, ejaculation
and orgasm of 53 married men diagnosed with sexual dysfunctions. These
men were given Libilov at 3 x 2 tablets per day for 3 months.
We report that
statistical analyses suggest significant improvement in sex drive in the
majority of our trial constituents due to tribulus terrestris, without any evidence of adverse
effects. |
