Scientists Say Watermelon is as Good as Viagra

A recent study reveals the effectiveness of watermelon for enhancing male libido.   Scientists discovered  an ingredient in watermelon that mimics the action of Viagra.

Watermelon contains citrulline which boosts erections.  In the liver, citrulline is converted  to      arginine.  Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide, which increases men’s sexual strength, by  relaxing blood vessels to facilitate blood flow to the penis.  This is exactly what happens when men take Viagra.

After arginine is converted to nitric oxide, the nitric oxide is later converted to citrulline, which is then recycled back to arginine, and hence doubles the production of nitric oxide.

But citrulline is much more effective than arginine. Studies show citrulline to be more effective in producing nitric oxide, since the body easily absorbs citrulline.  This makes the blood plasma level more concentrated after taking citrulline (or eating watermelon), than after taking arginine.  Watch out for the seeds.
