Figure 3 Vasodilatation reflected by peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) was significantly higher after 5 days of ingestion of flavinol-rich cocoa, and also acutely after a single exposure on day 5 (both P<.01). The increase was almost completely abolished by an inhibitor of NO production, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (P<.004) (16).

Figure 4 In a group of infertile men, a combination of L-arginine and pycnogenol significantly increased semen volume, total sperm, % A motility, and % normal morphology (P<.001) (22). In men with erectile dysfunction, this same regimen significantly increased the serum levels of testosterone (P<.001) (23).
