Chapter 1: Understanding the market for potency
- 1 Normalization of terminology: dietary supplements, potency and erectile dysfunction.
In the field of health of men, concepts are often found that require a clear definition. Biologically active additives (dietary supplements) They are concentrates of natural or identical to natural biologically active substances, designed for direct intake with food or introduction into food products. They are not drugs and, therefore, do not go through strict clinical trials as pharmaceuticals.
Potency – This is a man’s ability to commit sexual intercourse. It includes libido (sexual attraction), an erection (filling the penis with blood), orgasm and ejaculation. A decrease in potency can manifest itself in a decrease in sexual desire, weakening of an erection, premature ejaculation or absence of orgasm.
Erectile dysfunction (Ed) – This is a persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. ED can be caused by various factors, including physical diseases (for example, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases), psychological problems (for example, stress, depression), taking certain drugs and bad habits (smoking, alcohol abuse).
It is important to distinguish between dietary supplements for potency and drugs for the treatment of ED. Medicines, such as Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis) and Wardenafil (Levitra), are FDE-5 inhibitors (type 5 phosphodesturas) and are released according to the doctor’s prescription. Potency dietary supplements, as a rule, contain plant extracts, vitamins, minerals and other substances that, according to manufacturers, can improve sexual function. However, their effectiveness and safety are often not proved clinically.
- 2 The prevalence of problems with potency: statistics and risk factors.
Problems with potency are a fairly common phenomenon. According to various studies, ED occurs in 10-20% of men under the age of 40, in 30-40% of men aged 40 to 60 years and in 50-70% of men over 60 years. However, these figures can vary depending on the research methodology and the geographical region.
Risk factors for the development of ED can be divided into several categories:
- Age factors: With age, the level of testosterone decreases, the blood supply to the penis is worsening and the risk of developing chronic diseases increases, which can lead to ED.
- Physical diseases: Diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, obesity, metabolic syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and other diseases can negatively affect erectile function.
- Psychological factors: Stress, depression, anxiety, problems in relationships, low self -esteem and other psychological problems can cause or aggravate ED.
- Bad habits: Smoking, alcohol abuse and drugs can damage blood vessels and nerves, which leads to ED.
- Taking drugs: Some drugs, such as antidepressants, antihypertensive drugs, antipsychotic and others, can cause ED as a side effect.
- Life: A sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy nutrition and lack of sleep can contribute to the development of Ed.
