There is no strong medical evidence that baking soda and apple cider vinegar can treat erectile dysfunction.
Some people claim that baking soda and apple cider vinegar offer health benefits, and they have been studied for effects like improving exercise performance or managing blood sugar and cholesterol in specific groups. However, the research available does not show a direct benefit for erectile dysfunction. Studies on baking soda have mainly focused on its potential to improve physical performance in athletes, not on sexual function. Similarly, while apple cider vinegar has been examined for its effects on blood sugar and lipid profiles in diabetic patients, there isn’t evidence to suggest it helps with erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is a complex condition typically related to factors like blood flow, nerve function, hormonal balance, or emotional health. If you are experiencing ED, it is best to discuss medically proven treatments and lifestyle changes with your healthcare provider rather than relying on home remedies that have not been supported by sufficient scientific research for this condition.
