Cnidium Monnier

Description
Cnidium Monnier is derived from the Chinese plant Cnidium Monnieri. Its seeds are used for a variety of applications in traditional Chinese medicine. You can find the seeds in bulk in most Chinese pharmacies and health food stores.

• Cnidium Monnier is considered a natural libido booster and responsible for dilating the blood vessels allowing for firmer erections.

Theory
Cnidium Monnier has been used in Chinese medicine for over a thousand years in natural libido boosters and treatments of skin problems. Cnidium Monnier naturally increases nitric oxide (NO) and inhibits PDE-5 in the body. NO is a vasodilator (causing the blood vessels to relax) that increases your body’s ability to deliver blood to working muscles. When taking a nitric oxide supplement, men can expect increased muscle size, strength, endurance and quicker recovery times.

Scientific Support
Preliminary studies show some of the compounds in cnidium may have anti-histamine, anti-itch, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial effects, as well as a beneficial influence on the pituitary-adrenocortex axis. Additional studies on rodents indicate that cnidium may improve bone strength. In rabbits, a compound found in cnidium called osthol or osthole was found to help relax the corpus cavernosa of the penis, which would potentially help with blood flow and erections. Cnidium may also have anti-cancer properties.

Safety
No contraindications or toxicity at these levels.

Value
Cnidium Monnier has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-histamine properties. The ample anecdotal evidence suggests its value in male libido enhancement. However, more studies need to be made.

Dosage
Safe amounts for all natural male enhancement range from 30mg to 300mg.
