Medications used to treat erectile dysfunction by amplifying the normal nitric-oxide–cGMP vasodilatory pathway.
The short answer: there is no reliable evidence that drinking or applying a mix of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and salt will acutely produce an erection or “make your cock hard” . The idea circul...

Viral claims that ingesting baking soda delivers rapid relief for erectile dysfunction lack credible clinical evidence and can cause real harm such as metabolic alkalosis, high sodium load, and worsen...
is treated with a stepped approach: lifestyle and addressing underlying disease, first-line oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is), then local mechanical or injectable therapies, and final...
Randomized trials exist for each modality—PDE5 inhibitors (PDE5i), vacuum erection devices (VED), and intracavernosal injections (ICI)—and several randomized studies and systematic reviews report bene...

Supplements marketed as “herbal” or “natural” for sexual performance are frequently found to contain undeclared prescription PDE‑5 inhibitors (like sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) or unapproved ana...
Clinical trials and meta-analyses show that oral L‑arginine—an amino acid precursor to nitric oxide—has produced modest but statistically significant improvements in erectile function in men with mild...
