Is Veggie Viagra Coming Next?
Researchers in Germany are testing a vegetable-based Viagra alternative that they say works even better than the famous impotence treatment for some men. The treatment only uses natural ingredients, which include tribulus terrestris, a root vegetable found in the Andes called maca and grape juice extract.
"In clinical trials, 50 men had much better sex afterwards, more fun in bed and just generally felt better about themselves," the Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily cited Olaf Schroeder from Berlin's Charite hospital as saying.
"Their libido was even higher than the control group taking Viagra," he said.
Some of those tested had unwelcome side effects.
"Two of the subjects had bad diarrhoea," added Schroeder.
The treatment is called Plantagrar and is expected to be available sometime in 2010.
