Ingredients and their effects (studies)
1. l-arginine
The L-arginine in Volt Capsules Smart Formula is a semi-essential amino acid that is important for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) in the body. Nitric oxide is a key mediator in the relaxation of smooth muscle and dilation of blood vessels, which enables improved blood flow.
Improved blood flow can have a positive effect on erectile function. A study in the “Journal of Sexual Medicine” has shown that supplementation with L-arginine can improve erectile function in men with erectile dysfunction.
2. L-glutathione
L-glutathione is a powerful antioxidant found in the body. It plays an important role in reducing oxidative stress and improving the immune system.
Although direct studies regarding L-glutathione and male potency are limited, its ability to reduce oxidative stress indirectly supports blood vessel function and may support erectile health.
3. L-methionine
L-methionine is an essential amino acid that plays a role in many metabolic processes, including the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine, a compound that is important for mental health. While direct evidence for L-methionine and erectile function or potency is limited, its role in metabolism and mood regulation may have indirect benefits for virility.
4. L-citrulline
L-citrulline is an amino acid that is converted to L-arginine in the body and thus supports the production of nitric oxide. L-citrulline may even be more effective than L-arginine itself, as it is not as easily broken down in the gut and liver, thereby increasing the concentration of L-arginine in the bloodstream. Studies have shown that L-citrulline can improve the symptoms of erectile dysfunction.
5. ashwagandha extract
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb used in Ayurvedic medicine. It has been shown to reduce stress, increase testosterone production and improve performance in bed in men. One study found that supplementation with ashwagandha may improve sperm quality and increase serum levels of reproductive hormones in male participants.
6. raspberry ketones
Raspberry ketones are chemicals that give raspberries their characteristic odour. There is limited scientific evidence to support a direct link between raspberry ketones and improved male potency or intimate health. Most studies focus on their effect on weight loss and metabolism.
7. maca root powder
Maca is a plant that grows in the Andes of Peru. It is known for its health-promoting properties, including improving libido. Several studies have shown that maca can have positive effects on sexual function and sperm production without directly affecting hormone levels.
