Watermelon Viagra?
July 2, 2008 by Dr. Chris Axon
Who would have thought? Scientific study done at Texas A&M shows that watermelon contains a high quantity of good for you nutrients. The one that it the most intriguing is citruline.Citrulline is known to have the ability to relax blood vessels, much like Viagra does.
When watermelon is consumed, citrulline is converted into the amino acid arginine, which is greatly beneficial to the heart and circulation system and maintains a good immune system
Watermelon may not have a direct effect to the “organ in question” but has been shown to have a lasting effect on the male libido when eaten regularly and it has no “Drug”side effects.
The highest concentrations of citrulline are found in the rind of the watermelon. So get those teeth into the rind. Your partner will love you for it!

Yeah, well not exactly doc. The report says that watermelon MAY get a guy living large, if you know what I mean. But it doesn’t quite yet substantiate the claims because the research isn’t there… yet.

I never said eating watermelon was a sure fire way to increase “function” and yes the article in question is speculative as it relates to watermelon. However Citrulline is documented to have this effect on the heart and circulatory system. I personally have known about it for over 15 years and have been recommending Citrulline as a supplement for years. I just never knew that Watermelon contained it. So like said in my post. Why not get those teeth into the rind it certainly won’t hurt your sex life?
