This is certainly an interesting thing you've brought to my attention and I'll surely be keeping an eye out for further developments on this. But i will need a lot more molecular mechanism explanation to be convinced on how this works to be honest. >Viagra helps the production of cGMP. Actually, no. Viagra (sildenafil) is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor, predominantly an inhibitor of PDE 5. PDE is the enzyme that breaks down cGMP. So viagra merely prevents the breakdown of the _already existing_ cGMP. It doesn't increase the production of cGMP. But nonetheless, thanks for bringing this research article to my attention. This will be wonderful if it goes through a successful human trial phase. ![Mentor_3.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWPdXSwgcwQV5uuTRybUZH3vUZ6pTw4ESZmDT7Ey7DXbW/Mentor_3.png)

ah, interesting. Thank you for the correction. In what I was reading it was said roughly that it increases the amount of cGMP. So I assumed that means increases its production.
