"Pork consumption improves sexual activity," Mrs Kirchner informed a gathering of business people at a meeting at the presidential palace.
"This is not a small detail," she said at the gathering to announce a reduction in the price of pork.
"Besides, some nicely grilled pork is much more gratifying than taking Viagra."
Mrs Kirchner said she and her husband, Nestor Kirchner, the former president, had enjoyed a pork roast over the weekend at their retreat in Argentina's southern Patagonia region. The president assured her audience the meal had yielded "impressive" results.
"We were in high spirits the whole weekend," she said.
"I'm a pork fanatic," she added, "and I'm not saying this just to impress you, or for self-promotion."
The head of the association of pork producers, Juan Uccelli, on Thursday backed Mrs Kirchner's claims.
He claimed that people in Denmark and Japan, where pork consumption is high, "have much more harmonious sexual lives than us Argentines have."
Argentines, by contrast, are the world's most voracious eaters of beef, with an annual per capita consumption of about 70 kilos (150 lbs).
Mrs Kirchner has been the target of fierce criticism lately for seeking to remove the head of the Central Bank, Martin Redrado.
