M’sian researchers create nuttier Viagra alternative

KUALA LUMPUR—
Malaysian researchers claim they have created a nutty, healthier alternative to
Viagra based on walnuts. Researcher Kim Kah Hwi, who headed the team from the
University of Malaya, said he was inspired to look into walnuts after reading
about their use in history, The Stardaily reported yesterday. “I read articles
about the Romans and French having eaten walnuts for this purpose. I thought if
it had been documented that long ago, there surely has to be something there,”
he said. It took Mr Kim and his research team two years to develop N-Hanz,
tablets which contain walnut extract and have shown positive results on 40
volunteers against erectile dysfunction. “It takes about an hour for the effects
to set in and lasts for about four hours,” he said. “Furthermore, as it is not a
drug, it is safe for those with hypertension or diabetes, or (those) who have
recently had heart bypasses,” he added. Some volunteers had undergone bypass
surgery, he said. The active ingredient in the tablets is an amino acid called
arginine, which is absorbed into the body and converted into nitric oxide. “This
enlarges blood vessels and enhances blood flow to the penis,” Mr Kim said. The
newspaper said N-Hanz had won a gold medal for best invention at a recent
technology and invention exhibition in Malaysia, while Mr Kim said it had been
approved by Malaysia’s health ministry. --AFP

read the above article in monday, 4 june's edition of today. note the active ingredient, the amino acid arginine. which the body processes into nitric oxide. omg! thats like the supplement im comtemplating on taking lah. i dont take much of these supplements anyway. but good friend MV was saying that the protein powder were taking isnt really formulated to improve recovery. so guess we need something more. haha. but none of my research yielded the above discovery leh!!! its promoted to improve recovery by supplying more blood to the muscles to provide increased nutrients and to flush away wastes. bonus effect is the muscles looked pumped up. but noone realised the effect will be similar to some other muscle? hur hur! or is it just another "added benefit" that everyone knows but noone mentions? ;)
