Sildenafil is a popular enhancer of erectile function in men (sold under the brand name Viagra), but recently this drug has found wider use in both medicine and bodybuilding. It does not affect the level of nitric oxide, but promotes the expansion of blood vessels in the muscles and pelvis. Sildenafil blocks the enzyme called PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase-5), which breaks down nitric oxide in the bloodstream, so its concentration begins to increase, thus promoting vasodilation. The drug has a high specificity for the pelvic organs, but is active throughout the body, as it was developed to treat cardiovascular problems.
There are dozens of benefits that make the use of Viagra in bodybuilding profitable and efficient. The drug slightly lowers blood pressure, has a positive effect on the heart, effectively improves blood flow in the muscles and causes a minimum of side effects. One of the short ones is an unprecedented pump that leads to mechanical stretching of muscle vessels, fascia and indirectly contributes to the growth of the trained target muscles.
Please note that some people mistakenly believe that taking Sildenafil causes a permanent erection, but this is not the case. In the absence of sexual arousal (stimulation), erection never occurs. A study published in the journal Clinical and Translational Science suggested that sildenafil might increase muscle protein synthesis and reduce muscle fatigue. So, in conclusion, it could “represent a potential pharmacological strategy to improve skeletal muscle function”.
