Does Taking Pre Workout Supplements Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

Does basic pre-work out supplements cause erectile distinction. I have not experienced this but I was researching pre-workout (since I have been taking it for about a month) and this was a topic that came up. Specifically. I take optimum nutrition: gold standard pre-work out It is full of beta alanine, thiamin, niacin, folic acid, creatine monohydrate, L-citrulline composite, and others

Hello,

No, not exactly. You need to understand this. One of the side effects of pre workout supplements is high blood pressure. High blood pressure commonly causes the arteries to become thicker thus they may restrict blood flow to the penis. Some BP medicines also cause ED. Excess of anything is bad, control your intake of pre workout supplements. ED is basically caused by blood flow problems to the penis. Stay away from obesity, DM, high cholesterol, vascular diseases, etc. Cut on addictions (smoking, alcohol, etc). Exercises improve ED.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
