So I was watching the TV series Ratched, and there was a scene where a psych hospital patient complains to the nurse that he's had an erection for 3 days, and she says "Oh, that's the Niacin we give you. It affects some guys that way." She then proceeds to jerk him off, but that has nothing to do with this post.... Curious, I googled treating ED with Niacin, and sure enough there is an NIH study that examined just that. It said that test subjects who took 500 to 1500 mg of Niacin (an OTC available dietary supplement you can get from any drugstore) for 12 weeks experienced improvement in their erections, especially those with more severe ED. I didn't pay attention to the actual numbers quoted though, sorry.
I've been taking 1000 mg of Niacin a day for about 8 weeks so far, and there is a small improvement in my erectile ability. I have REALLY severe ED though, so I'm probably not a good test subject. A more normal man would probably get a bigger bang from it, maybe. Anyway, if there is any significant change after 12 weeks, I'll update this post. Meanwhile, I'm still using injections to get the job done. I'm on Super Bi-Mix now, and it seems to be working pretty well.
