Sexual function in aged male decreases due to endothelial dysfunction (impairment of penile blood vessel and penile smooth muscle to relax) and increase in activity of bad enzymes like arginase and Rho-kinase. Cinnamon may be helpful in increasing sexual function by inhibiting action of bad enzymes and increasing penile endothelial smooth muscle.
As per a recently published article, methanol extract of Cinnamon increased sexual function of 2 year aged rat. Fifty percent of the aged rats had lost sexual function and another fifty percent of the rats had decreased sexual function. Cinnamon extract increased sexual function of aged rats those had low sexual function and increased sexual function of a rat that was unresponsive to sexual stimuli.
