There was a time when I thought erections were all about testosterone.

And sure, testosterone helps—but what really makes or breaks the quality of your erection is blood flow.

That means your vascular system.

That means your endothelial health.

And that means your vasodilators are either firing on all cylinders… or you’re running on fumes.

Most men think of “blood flow” as some abstract circulation thing. But it’s not vague at all. It comes down to real, measurable molecules that relax smooth muscle, expand blood vessels, and fill the penis with blood.

Six in particular:

  • Nitric oxide (NO)

  • Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)

  • Adenosine (and to a lesser extent,

  • Prostacyclin

  • Carbon monoxide

  • Anandamide

If these are high—and your oxidative stress is low—you’ll be in “steel mode.”

But if they’re low… or being rapidly broken down by inflammation and free radicals… good luck.

The good news? You can eat your way to better vasodilation. Not with gimmicks, but by strategically choosing foods that:

  • Supply the precursors to make vasodilators

  • Provide the cofactors to activate them

  • Prevent their breakdown with antioxidant support

This article breaks it all down—with zero fluff and maximum impact. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll discover:

  • The 3 main gas molecules your body uses for rock-solid erections (and how to produce more of them naturally)

  • The overlooked nutrient that determines whether you make nitric oxide or oxidative stress

  • Why certain foods outperform most supplements

  • How to protect your vasodilators from breakdown and destruction

  • The role of anandamide and carbon monoxide in blood flow and sexual pleasure and how to boost them

  • A categorized list of the most powerful erection-enhancing foods

  • Plus: Easy meals and recipes to implement it without overhauling your life
