Viagra may soon not be the only solution to solving erectile dysfunction. Developed by a team of researchers from the Faculty of Medicine at University of Malaya, a researcher claimed that N-Hanz is the new invention that is highly comparable to Viagra.

However, the content of N-Hanz is very different from Viagra. Instead of being labelled as a drug, the main ingredient is basically walnuts, thus making is safe for people with hypertension or diabetes, and others who has just gone through heart operations. The active ingredient that make up N-Hanz was arginine, an amino acid.

The effect of this substance is to enlarge blood vessels and thus enhance blood flow in the body. A single pill is equivalent to eating approximately 3.3kg of walnuts.

Better news to come; the new medicine has been approved by the Health Ministry (in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). N-Hanz is probably expected to take over Vigra as safer alternative for a more exciting sexual relationship.
