Treat: Recommendations
My most powerful interventions:

Supplements I Use
- Neo40

When do you use Arterosil?
I will try Arterosil with all patients. Men with sexual health concerns are desperately seeking improvements, and I want to help them. Arterosil is unique as the only endothelial glycocalyx supplement backed by research.
In men with erectile dysfunction, three factors that lead me to recommend Arterosil include:
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Processed food diet
Arterosil Dosage:
Initial Dose: 1 tablet twice a day
Maintenance dose: Same
Discontinue: At least a six month trial
Measure: Progress Monitoring
I’m looking for improvements in the following measurements in men:
- EndoPAT improvements
- ADMA improvements
- Nitric oxide production improvements
Results:
My patients have had improved success, with or without erectile dysfunction medication.
Engage: Patient Compliance
Educate up front about the reasons, the anatomy, and the importance of endothelial health.
