  • Connective tissue supplements

    Thought I should bring this up. May have used the wrong search terms, but couldn't find anything on this when I searched.

    A lot of people ask about supplements and circulatory enhancers are most often mentioned.
    Many people say to take protein and this may help, but the penis is mostly connective tissue, so things for tendons, ligaments, and cartilage are a good idea. You need vitamin C, bioflavinoids, Vitamin D, and try adding Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin, and MSM.

    Stay away from strong anti-inflammatories like ibuprofin and aspirin. I leaned this from an osteopath after dislocating my collar bone. I went in for prolotherapy and he gave me a document explaining the healing process because I had to be off anti inflammatories for 3 months. Basically, inflammation is the body's way of triggering a healing response. Taking OTC anti inflammatories will stop the healing cold. This is why people with dislocations have loose joints afterwards. Current medical treatment is aimed at the symptoms, not the healing process. Doing some research and talking to acupncturists with a martial arts back ground, they said exactly the same thing.

    There is a small amount of anti inflammatory compounds in Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin, and MSM, but the mechanism is different and they will encourage healing.

    So since exercises cause a minor amount of localized inflammation in the penis, you want to encourage the healing process not stop it. Hence the correct supplements. And BTW, heat speeds the healing process of connective tissue. Gee whiz, you think that may be a reason so many people harp on making sure you warm up long enough?

      Just an addendum here, I lift a lot and played competitive sports and have had multiple serious injuries to both my knee (torn meniscus) and shoulder (slap tear) so I take joint supplements every day.

      For a multivitamin, Orange Triad is by far my favorite. It contains a complex with the above mentioned Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM. It also contains Bromelain and Hyaluronic Acid.

      Additionally, I take fish oil which is very underrated, imo. And I also take a supplement called Joint Help which contains Cissus and an additional compound. It's fantastic.

      It sped up my rotator cuff rehab significantly and combined with joint/ligament training, I can lift heavy pain free. I have less pain now than I did in high school when I was injury free!
