12 Best Food Proteins for Penis
These muscle-building foods are rich in nutrients that can make you a superstar in the bedroom.
Science has identified a number of nutrients that are vital to the penis and all it can do. Four of those seem to be more helpful than others:
• Zinc boosts testosterone levels and helps enable erections and healthy sperm.
Health Food or Not?
• A deficiency of Vitamin B12 has been linked to erectile dysfunction, Harvard researchers found. The vitamin is crucial to cell metabolism and the production of blood.
• Arginine is the Marvin Gaye of amino acids: It relaxes blood vessels and enables blood to flow, helping you get and keep an erection.
• Magnesium decreases inflammation in blood vessels, increasing blood flow, which speeds blood to extremities, increasing arousal, and … well, you get it.
Of course, protein not only builds the lean muscle that helps you end up in bed with company in the first place, but it's also the most basic building block of tissue, dense in the amino acids that promote sexual health. (Men should be getting at least 56 grams daily; women, 46.)
So we consulted the USDA database to identify the top dietary protein sources of zinc, B12, magnesium, and arginine. Some of these foods that increase libido showed up near the top of multiple lists; we put them in the Hall of Fame. Read on to find out which nabbed the crown.
VITAMIN B12
1. Salmon
Vitamin B12 amount: 6.4 µg in 1/2 filet (198 g) (106% DV)
Aside from having a full day's worth of B12 in a serving, salmon packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which spur the creation of nitric oxide, helping you stay hard. The fish is also incredibly high in protein at 40 grams a serving and is rich in vitamin B-6, which aids healthy blood production—good for muscles above and below the belt. Plus, a study in the International Journal of Impotence Research found that eating a Mediterranean-style diet rich in produce, fish, whole grains and healthy fats (like omega-3s) can improve erectile function in men with metabolic syndrome.
2. Blue Mussels

Vitamin B12 amount: 20 µg in 3 oz serving (333% DV)
These chilly-sounding mollusks can help heat things up, with more than three times the recommended daily value of B12. A 3-ounce serving also has 20 grams of muscle-boosting protein, with only 4 grams of fat and 150 calories. Like clams, they're rich in iron, which helps ensure that your blood flows everywhere it needs to. They're also high in magnesium, a natural erection enhancer.
3 Herring

Vitamin B12 amount: 25 µg in 1 filet (417% DV)
This IKEA-cafeteria staple will help you put things together in the bedroom. In addition to packing four times your daily requirement of B12 in one average-sized filet, herring is also a good source of magnesium (59 mg in 1 filet), which boosts testosterone and keeps sperm healthy and viable. On top of that, oily fish like herring are sky-high in vitamin D, which can help you get and keep it up. In a recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, Italian researchers examined 143 men with ED; 80% had suboptimal levels of the nutrient, and the men with severe ED had a 24% lower level of D than those with a mild form of the condition. The theory is that low levels of D promote dysfunctional blood vessels and a shortage of nitric oxide.
4. Sardines
Vitamin B12 amount: 8 µg in one cup (333% DV)
The oily, protein-packed fish is good for weight loss, plus it's one of the best sources of vitamin B12 and dairy-free calcium out there. Look for varieties canned with the bones, which are soft and completely edible. Though the idea of eating fish bones may be a bit hard to swallow, they're the part of the fish that packs all the calcium. Downing them is non-negotiable if you want to reap the benefits. Bonus: Sardines are more hydrating than Gatorade. More than half of its body weight is water.
In case you need to pause to hydrate or something.
5. Mackerel
Vitamin B12 amount: 15 µg in 3 oz serving (625% DV)
Oft-overlooked for more glamorous fish like salmon and tuna, mackerel has twice the amount of heart-healthy, inflammation-reducing, cancer-fighting omega-3 fatty acids as salmon, making it one of the healthiest fish at the restaurant. What's good for your heart is good for your part.
6. Clams
Vitamin B12 amount: 84 µg in 3 oz serving (1,400% DV)
Sea pistachios are one of the richest food sources of B12 you can find. The boner-boosting bivalves are also high in L-arginine, which aids the formation of nitric oxide. (NO is so powerful it's used medically to treat erectile dysfunction.) Additionally, clams are high in muscle-building protein and low in fat, which will help you look better naked.
MAGNESIUM
7. Brazil Nuts
Magnesium amount: 500 mg per cup (119% of DV)
Brazil nuts are one of the highest sources of magnesium out there per serving, and they also boasts a good amount of selenium, a mineral that's important for healthy hormones. You only need a tiny bit for healthy sperm, but a tiny deficiency can be catastrophic for reproductive health. In one study, men who had lower testosterone and were infertile also had significantly lower selenium levels than the fertile group. Supplementing with the mineral improved chances of successful conception by 56 percent!
8. Amaranth

Magnesium amount: 479 mg per cup (114% of DV)
Quinoa isn't the only ancient grain that comes loaded with health perks. Amaranth, a naturally gluten-free seed, is a good source of digestion-aiding fiber, as well as calcium and bicep-building iron and protein (it has 4.6 grams of the latter per cup). Sub it for quinoa or brown rice as a side dish before sexy times.
9. Teff
Magnesium amount: 355 mg per cup (85% of DV)
With 26 g of protein per cup (which counts as two servings), teff has is also loaded with fiber, essential amino acids, calcium and vitamin C — a nutrient not typically found in grains. Like amaranth, it makes a great pinch hitter for your usual favorite grains.
10. Cashews

Magnesium amount: 356 mg per cup (85% of DV)
Cashews' high magnesium content lends them a myriad of health benefits, helping your body relieve constipation, insomnia, headaches and muscle cramps, as well as regulating the immune system and supporting brain function — all net positives in bed.
ARGININE
(Note: The USDA does not assign a recommended daily value to arginine.)
11. Chicken Breast
Arginine amount: 4.1 g in one piece
The classic dietary staple's health benefits continue to stack up. In addition to a hefty amount of arginine — only turkey has more — a 3-ounce cooked chicken breast contains only 142 calories and 3 grams of fat, but an impressive 26 grams of protein. That's more than half of the day's recommended allowance. Plus, it has less than half a gram of saturated fat in one serving and is rich B vitamins to rev your metabolism and energy levels. (And if you're looking for harder erections, those B vitamins definitely don't hurt.)
12. Lean Pork Loin

Arginine amount: 14.3 g in 100 g serving
Despite bacon-based criticism from the health world, pork can now proudly boast a healthy image. In fact, it's earning a more frequent spot on dinner plates thanks to its waist-whittling ability. Scientists asked 144 overweight people to eat a diet rich in fresh lean pork in a study published in the journal Nutrients. After three months, the group saw a significant reduction in waist size, BMI and belly fat, with no reduction in muscle mass! The researchers believe the belly-trimming effect is due to pork's amino acid profile—yep, including arginine—which may contribute to speedier fat burning.Source: https://www.eatthis.com
