Gummy ED Tablets And Traditional Pills: Which Is Best?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common type of sexual dysfunction that affects millions of men around the world. [1] ED makes it difficult for you to get or maintain an erection, which can have an effect on your relationship and self esteem. 

For many years, oral tablets have been the go-to solution, but now, modern alternatives like chewable mints and gummies for erectile dysfunction are becoming available. Let’s take a look at why some people are choosing to make the switch.

Why choose chewables?

Chewable tablets and gummies provide the same active ingredient found in regular ED pills, such as sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis). These ingredients, known as PDE5 inhibitors, improve blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping you achieve and maintain an erection. [2] You may be wondering — if the ingredients are the same, what’s the difference? Here’s what some men have to say.

1. Easy to use

Some people struggle to swallow pills, or have certain health conditions which may make it more difficult. Chewables solve this problem, offering a hassle-free way to take your medication.

2. Convenient and discreet

Chewables are small, portable, and don’t require water, making them a more discreet option for on-the-go use.

3. Better taste

Unlike traditional pills, chewable ED options often come in flavors like mint, which can help mask the sometimes bitter taste of the drug.

How do chewable and gummy tablets work?

The active ingredient in chewable tablets and gummies works by relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow to the penis when you’re aroused. This increased blood flow is essential for achieving and maintaining an erection.

Like standard pills, chewables are a solution for anyone who experiences erectile dysfunction due to issues like low sexual desire, stress, or performance anxiety. However, they are not an aphrodisiac, which means you’ll need sexual stimulation for them to work.

What are compounded gummy ED treatments?

Some people prefer compounded medications, which are custom-made by pharmacies. They aren’t reviewed or approved by the FDA, but they offer a customized approach to erectile dysfunction treatment. They can be a good option when conventional first-line treatments haven’t been effective. 

Benefits of Compounded Chewables

• Dosages: Standard ED medications come in fixed strengths, but compounded chewables allow for customized doses that meet your unique needs. Compounding pharmacies can also adjust inactive ingredients to accommodate allergies or sensitivities.
• Flavors and textures: Compounded medications may be available in flavors you prefer, such as fruit or mint.
• Availability: If ED medications are not widely available, compounded versions can provide the same effective treatment option.

Are chewables safe?

Chewable ED medications, including compounded ones, are generally safe when prepared by a reputable pharmacy like ZipHealth and used under medical advice. Our medical professionals make sure the medication is suitable for your specific health conditions and doesn’t interfere with other drugs you may be taking.

What are the potential side effects?

Like traditional ED pills, chewables can cause side effects, such as:

• Headaches
• Nasal congestion
• Stomach discomfort
• Muscle pain

If you experience more serious side effects, such as changes in blood pressure, chest pain, or a painful erection that won’t go away, seek immediate medical attention. 

Is gummy medication right for you?

If you’ve tried conventional ED treatments without success, you have trouble swallowing pills or need a more discreet treatment option, chewable or gummy ED tablets might be the right fit. To get started, start a consultation with medical professionals to determine if this is the best solution for your ED symptoms and overall health. They can recommend chewables based on your lifestyle, health conditions, and preferences.

Is there any evidence behind CBD supplements and extracts?

While you may have seen suggestions of this in the media or online, there's no clear evidence to suggest that cannabis gummies or CBD extract can improve your erectile function. For the best results, stick to science-backed, quality-tested treatments recommended by a licensed healthcare provider.

Ready to take control of your sexual health?

With benefits like convenience, and better taste, chewable and gummy tablets are a modern alternative to traditional pills.
