Armenian researchers discovered pomegranate seeds reversing erectile dysfunction improving blood vessel function. Scientists at Yerevan State Medical University found that pomegranate seed compounds—particularly punicic acid—improve endothelial function and increase nitric oxide production, reversing vascular erectile dysfunction. Men consuming pomegranate seed extract achieved 60% improvement in erectile function without pharmaceutical interventions.
Erectile dysfunction affects 50% of men over 50, primarily from vascular problems—damaged blood vessels can't dilate properly to allow erections. Medications like Viagra work temporarily but don't address underlying vascular damage. Armenia has traditional use of pomegranate for "vitality"—researchers investigated whether this folk medicine had biological basis.
Pomegranate seeds contain uniquely high concentrations of punicic acid—an omega-5 fatty acid with powerful effects on endothelial cells lining blood vessels. This compound increases eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) expression, enhancing nitric oxide production—the molecule causing blood vessel dilation necessary for erections. Additionally, pomegranate compounds reduce oxidative stress damaging penile blood vessels.
Men with moderate vascular ED consuming 500mg pomegranate seed extract twice daily showed progressive improvement over 12 weeks. International Index of Erectile Function scores increased from average 15 (moderate ED) to 24 (mild ED approaching normal). Many achieved spontaneous erections absent for years. Blood flow measurements showed improved penile arterial dilation. The improvement stemmed from actual vascular healing rather than temporary pharmaceutical effects. One diabetic with ED for eight years regained function without Viagra. We're treating erectile dysfunction's root cause—vascular damage—rather than just temporarily overriding it.
