There are tons of herbs / supplements to consider. I can't possibly begin to say which work. For better or worse, I take quite a few daily. I'll be getting labs soon after a few mos of this aggressive use, so we'll see. But I do wonder, maybe I shouldn't ingest things daily that only help when sex is immediately in the offing (though I may be having daily sex soon enough so in that sense it's moot!!). These are the things in my stack directly related to sex:

L-arginine
L-citralline
Yohimbine
Dopa Mucuna
Horny Goat Weed
EDIT: Weed itself (now how could I forget that one!?)
Longjack (aka Tongkat Ali as mentioned by DTWarren42 below)
Korean Ginseng
Ginkgo
Fenugreek
Boron (boosts free testosterone further even if your testosterone is good)
Beet root extract
Maca Powder
EDIT: DHEA
EDIT: L-Carnitine
EDIT: Extra strength garlic oil (per SteamFitter below)

The ones I think are more for imminent sex are: L-arginine, Horny Goat Weed, Dopa Mucuna, Yohimbine. But I haven't looked into background vs on-demand use of these all that much. Maybe somebody has?

I've been pondering the same thing, since last week. I saw some "sexual activity" boosters being sold, that are entirely herb based.
Was wondering if there's ANY actual benefit of that or it's pointless. I do consider herbal treatments a real thing, but it's obviously extremely limited, primitive and years away from chemical medication.
Still, the good side is that they are, usually, completely harmless. But, not free... so, anyone got actual, confirmed, results from using any herbal solutions to treat ED?

Here's one article from Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/erectile-dysfunction/in-depth/erectile-dysfunction-herbs/art-20044394. But it doesn't get into much about ingestion modality.

I'd forgotten about DHEA and L-Carnitine, which I'll consider. L-Carnitine is crazy stuff if you've ever used as part of a pre-workout. Take too much and your entire body especially face will get these sharp prickly pains. It's not harmful but super annoying.

one thing you might try is cracked wall pine pollen it works for me

I have tried most of those, they have helped to varying degrees. It also depends on when you take them, how many times you've ejaculated in the last 48 hrs (less=they will have more effect), and how advanced your ED has become. You need to experiment and see what works for your body.

I am a huge fan of antioxidants, they are the healthiest thing ever and a true fountain of youth.

I have no doubt they also improve sexual function. In fact, several clinics prescribe a combination of Viagra + Vitamin E for increased efficacy.

I tried yohimbe once but side effects were unbearable (headaches, insomina, restlessness), l-arginine seems to worsen my hair loss.

Maybe our friend Simbarn can share his opinion on antioxidants, he's an expert on the subject.

I would say extra-strength garlic oil is probably the single best supplement I've taken for ED.

I'm going to add cannibis to the list because for so many it enhances sex. It's probably more an indirect catalyst - that is I don't think it gets a lot of airplay as an ED aid when used alone.

One top urologist recommended product Prelox. I have not tried it.

Before my ED became severe, I found that tongkat ali and l-arginine taken several hours in advance of intercourse helped, but I still needed PDE5.
