  Objectives: Notwithstanding great progress in the management of erectile dysfunction (ED) by phosphodiesterase inhibitors, safety concerns hinder their routine use in men with mild-to-moderate forms. Several plant-derived supplements have been proven acceptable substituents of conventional anti-ED drugs. Most anti-ED drugs/supplements act through nitric oxide (NO)-dependent molecular pathways, due to NO-induced smooth muscle relaxation of the local Corpus cavernosum vessels. A randomised single-blind self-controlled clinical investigation recently showed that dietary supplementation with marine collagen peptides (MCP) in combination with selected antioxidants remarkably enhanced nitrite/nitrate plasma levels along with skin rejuvenation and general energising (hormesis-like) effects. This pilot study was designed to reveal possible clinical action of .. View More»
