Viagra (sildenafil)
Viagra (sildenafil) is the first and most popular remedy for improving potency. I think any man knows what Viagra is and what it is used for. Viagra was originally invented and patented by the American company Pfizer. Years later, the patent for the active substance – sildenafil, ended, and a variety of companies began to manufacture Viagra, which had a positive effect on the price of the drug (it decreased).
A detailed description of the drug can be found here (link will be later). In short, I will say that Viagra (sildenafil) helps men achieve an erection and keep it when sexually aroused for a long time (up to 6 hours). Viagra helps girls and women to achieve and prolong orgasm sooner too.
Effective dosages of Viagra (sildenafil) for men and women range from 20 to 50 mg at a time.
Cialis (tadalafil)
Cialis (tadalafil) is the most effective remedy for improving potency. Cialis appeared on the market recently, because it was invented only in 2000. The active ingredient of this supplement is tadalafil. This substance is slightly different from sildenafil (Viagra), its main advantage is a longer action (up to 36 hours). I will talk about the differences between Viagra and Cialis below.
A detailed description of the drug can be found here. In short, Cialis allows men to achieve a stable erection and keep it for a long time. The main condition for these effects is the presence of sexual arousal. For girls and women, Cialis helps to achieve, prolong and intensify orgasm more quickly.
Effective dosages of Cialis (tadalafil) for men and women range from 20 to 50 mg at a time.
Differences between Viagra and Cialis. What to choose?
At its core, Cialis is a supplement related to Viagra. The actions of both drugs are based on increased blood circulation, and not only in the pelvic organs (which leads to an erection), but throughout the body. However, Cialis (tadalafil) in comparison with Viagra (sildenafil) has the most important benefit – an increased duration of action.
Cialis can act on the body of a man or woman for 36 hours. Imagine how beneficial it is, one tablet of the drug provides you with almost two days of great sensations. Moreover, the action of Cialis is much softer. Cialis does not cause erection like Viagra does. To achieve an erection with Cialis it is necessary to have a stimulus (touches, kisses, thoughts, etc.). This is really an excellent and working drug, but if you need a powerful effect “here and now”, then Viagra is better suited for these cases.
Viagra and Cialis Generics, what is it? Do they work?
As I already said, the company that invented the drug can patent it. That is, in other words, as long as the patent for the drug is valid, only this company can produce it and sell it at the price it wants. However, patents are not eternal and tend to end.
The Pfizer company, which invented (discovered) Viagra, namely the active substance – sildenafil, had a patent for this drug. This patent has now expired. Therefore, Viagra (sildenafil) can now be produced by any pharmaceutical company, and all these drugs will be generics. The main advantage of any generic is its low and affordable price.
The same applies to Cialis, which has the active ingredient tadalafil. It was discovered by Icos and Ely-Lilly, they had a patent for this drug for a long time. Now the patent has expired and Cialis can be produced by any pharmaceutical company.
All this applies not only to Cialis and Viagra, but in general to all pharmaceutical preparations. Whether it is loperamide for diarrhea, or paracetamol for fever. Take a look at the shelves of any pharmacy, you will find a dozen paracetamol tablets from various manufacturers and at various prices. But the active substance in each of them will be the same. This means that they will work in the same way as the previously patented paracetamol.
Similarly with Viagra (sildenafil) and Cialis (tadalafil). Why overpay three times or even more, if the working active substance is the same?
Benefits Cialis (tadalafil) for bodybuilding and men
Well, here we come to the most important part of the article. Since this website is dedicated to fitness and bodybuilding topics, I will tell you about the benefits that tadalafil (Cialis) can bring to bodybuilders. So, let’s begin.
1) Cialis (tadalafil) improves blood circulation throughout the body (not just below the waist). Increased blood circulation gives bodybuilders several pluses at once: accelerated delivery of nutrients to the muscles (and cells), their better filling and a more powerful pumping effect during training.
2) Cialis (tadalafil) allows you to lower the levels of C-reactive protein, and hence the inflammatory processes in the body. This means that we can recover faster after hard training, and heal microtrauma faster.
3) Cialis (tadalafil) allows you to reduce aromatization (the conversion of testosterone into the female sex hormone estrogen). Regular intake of Cialis can reduce the amount of estrogen in your blood by a quarter, and increase the amount of testosterone by exactly the same amount.
4) And of course, the most important effect, for which Cialis can be used not only by athletes, but in general by all men – a more stable erection and a strong penis.
How to use cialis (tadalafil) in bodybuilding purposes?
Here it is worth bringing some clarity. If your main goal is to increase erection then for such cases, the effective dosage will be 50 mg of tadalafil at a time. The same dosage applies to sildenafil (Viagra).
If you are engaged in fitness or bodybuilding and will use Cialis (sildenafil) for the benefits described above, and you will use it regularly, then 10 – 20 mg of tadalafil at a time will be an effective dosage for you. Since the time of action of Cialis is almost 2 days (36 hours), it can be taken (for these purposes) 1 time in 2 days.
Well, that is it for today. I say goodbye to you, and I wish that all my readers have a strong erecrion up to 100 years! =)
