L-carnitine for low libido

Do L carnitine supplements reverse low libido in males?

Propionyl-L-Carnitine is sold as an aid for impotence. Reports do exist that men who take l carnitine do have improved erectile function and better sexual satisfaction. La carnitine has also been shown to work in individuals who have failed to respond to Viagra or ciali.

Orientals have been using ginkgo for erectile dysfunction for many decades and there are isolated reports that it enhances blood flow to the penis. However, the effects of gingko are unpredictable and occur in less than 10% of people. Moreover, all the well-controlled studies to date have shown that ginkgo is no better than placebo at treating impotence. I think both ginkgo and L-carnitine are bullshit therapies.
