In a study released in 2012, a nutritional supplement made of propionyl-L-carnitine, L-arginine and niacin was tested for its potential effects on erectile dysfunction. The results show that men with erectile dysfunction experienced a small yet significant improvement in erectile function after 3-month supplementation with this nutraceutical. Up to 40% of patients improved erection while 77% of patients partially responded to the treatment. The authors suggest that this nutritional supplement may be used as first-line or adjunctive treatment to PDE5 inhibitors to treat erectile dysfunction.
