It doesn’t matter what you call it—getting a boner, a hard-on, or wood—internet searches for stronger erections won’t stop. That’s especially true for people who are living with erectile dysfunction. It’s no surprise that the market for erectile dysfunction treatments is expected to reach 5.1 billion dollars in revenue by 2026.
There’s a big market for erection-boosting medications including Cialis and Viagra, especially given how easily you can access generic versions of them via a prescription from your doctor and via telehealth companies like Hims and Roman that have them delivered to your door. But what about other options, like those over-the-counter supplements for a better sex life you see advertised on television or through random Instagram ads? Are those safe supplements for better sex and stronger erections?
Of the many supplements out there that claim to boost your erection and give you a better hard-on, many are dubious. There are significant dangers when it comes to “herbal Viagra,” explains Jamin Brahmbhatt, MD, a urologist and sexual wellness expert at Orlando Health. This term is used to describe the natural supplements advertised to boost your erection.
