Protein shake causing erections to be weaker?

[White_Hawk Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close White_Hawk]

Hey everyone,

About a month ago, I started going to the gym. Some guy I know recommended me a "real good" protein shake he said, with 0 fat and all protein. So, I have been trying it out at about 2 shakes per week. Recently, I've been noticing new veins popping out while erect. I thought it had to be the cardio. Until last night... I could barely keep an erection... as soon as I hit 100%, my body felt like it couldn't keep it anymore and I lost it. I tried today again, same thing. Keep in mind that I have NEVER had this type of problem before and I'm young (27). Now, I am convinced that it might be the protein shake. Of course I'm stopping it ASAP. However, take a look at the ingredients here:

Could anyone with experience tell me if there could be something in there that could cause ED? Note: the ingredients are in English and french, as this seems to be a Canadian product.

And also... What do you guys think I should do now in order to not freak the @*$! out???


Thanks a bunch!!

No, that is just silly. Your ED is being caused by something else.

The ingredient list does not list the ingredients first of all, it just says "flavors" so that is a major concern, they obviously don't want you to know what's in it. Unless of course by "flavors" they mean chocolate or vanilla extract. What is your daily protein intake?

It's not likely that it's the shake's fault. Do you do PE? Are you stressed?

I haven't done PE in over 2-3 years. The shake is vanilla flavored, so maybe that's what they mean by "flavors"? I googled the "WPI 90" protein that is also listed under ingredients to see if it actually could cause ED, well it looks like it doesn't.

And yes I'm stressed, but not that much... But now this is making me really stressed!! :S

Do you know you blood pressure? How much do you weigh? And what does your diet look like?

No, that is not the cause of the ED. Have you switched up anything different, like physically, or been watching porn / masterbating? The stress COULD be the cause, but it could be other factors as well.

DUDE this happened to me im so happy i could share this with someone. I am a huge fitness guy and i use whey protein creatine and l arginine almost daily.. i noticed my erections were like a struggle to keep and i thought it was because i was working out so hard and sometimes twice a day at the gym.... i decided to get off supplements for a few days to see how i felt.... a few days later me and my girl had sex... I CAME AND THEN IT JUST STAYED HARD like when i was a teenager... so i did it againa nd came and then finally came a third time. it was weird and i havent taken supplements since.. i dont know what it is but something they put in these can effect some people dude i get random erections all the time now.

Hmm no, I don't know my blood pressure :S .. And I'm 5"10 and I weigh about 80 kilos. My diet: I eat a lot of middle eastern food for dinner (like kebabs, shawarma, shish taouk, etc), usually some toasts or cereals for breakfast and a lot of apples and bananas...

And like I said, I've only been taking this shake twice a week for about a month now. However, I didn't take any last week, and re-took some this week.

Other than regularly going to the gym, I haven't changed anything...

It's not the protein shake, it's your workout. You doing a lot to tax your nervous system and your erections are a sign you need rest.

Ok thanks, I will be sure to get some rest. I will keep you updated.

Omg, this is exactly what is happening to me!! It's actually getting difficult for me to get to the hardness level, and when I get there, my body can't find a way to maintain it properly. However, it's been a day and I'm still like this. I hope a few days rest will do the job for me.
