Recent research from the University of Maryland Medical Center shows how antioxidants work. After being fed one high-fat (50 grams of fat) breakfast, the blood vessel function of twenty healthy hospital employees between the ages of twenty and fifty-four was found to be impaired for as long as four hours. Blood flow had been significantly restricted in the process.
On another day, the test subjects were given twenty times the recommended vitamin doses—they took 800 international units (IU) of E and 1,000 mg of C—prior to eating the same fat-laden meal. This time, the dangerous adverse effects caused by triglyceride-heavy lipoproteins were avoided. The megadose of antioxidants allowed blood to flow smoothly. That smooth blood flow is crucial for good penile health. A simple way to get it—and keep it—is by taking vitamins E and C. Although this was a relatively small study, further research with larger groups may one day prove that it will be beneficial to take the C and E combo just before eating any fat-rich meal.
