At least some of the ED drugs work basically by enhancing nitric oxide availability, as I understand it.

It turns out that pomegranate juice also enhances nitric oxide availability. There is a growing body of research documenting the relationship of pomegranate juice and nitric oxide, and at least one study involving pomegranate elements and ED in rabbits, though I didn't think rabbits suffered from ED.

You can read what medical research has to say (or try to read it, the language is pretty technical) by going to our free Government web site PubMed Home and searching for " nitric oxide AND pomegranate ", and then clicking on the list of authors (in blue hypertext), to get view an abstract of the paper (if there is one). I just did the search and got 11 hits. Here are excerpts from the one that seemed closest to the ED issue (the one with the rabbit research). Usually the introductions and conclusions of these studies are written in language that is easy to understand.
