Longinexx - The male enhancement pill industry has been in a funk for about five years. There have been a few products that raised the bar a bit (Xantho Rx, Dianabol) to name a few, but there has not been any real major developments to get excited about – that is until in late 2009 when Dartford Kent Laboratories introduced Longinexx! This pill is literally a game changer! Even we were surprised by the results we saw. It's the most exciting product we have ever seen, evaluated or tried in over 25 years in the business. If your goal is to get bigger, the kind of bigger that might make your lover gasp when she first sees how big you are or the kind of bigger that might even put the look of fear in her eyes – then this is the pill for you.
Sure there are many products on the market that use L-Arginine as the focal point of their formula, but Longinexx is very different. No it can't add 6 or 7 inches, but boy oh boy does this stuff work at making you bigger! We have received countless review sheets from not only men – but industry insiders and storeowners saying something is going on with Longinexx. First there were rumors that it must be secretly laced with some drug because it almost worked too well! Men were getting so big, so much faster compared to other leading products that there was speculation some sort of "steroid" or other chemical was in the pills. But nothing is in them, they are 100% clean and natural. It's actually just a result of state-of-the-art manufacturing and progressive formulation.
Ingredients: The secret is that they have loaded it with a variety of L-Arginine and got the exclusive rights to Butea Superba, the only natural PDE 5 inhibitor. It was awarded a U.S. patent. But the patent is not the key – the real secret is that they are taking a different approach to making you bigger and more responsive. The key is a combination of their private Vasobolic formula that consists of such compounds as DHEA, Butea Superba, Long Pepper, Long Jack, Cnidium Monnier and Yohimbe. The keys are Long Pepper and Butea Superba. Butea Superba is the only natural compound with a U.S. Patent and many international patents as a natural Viagra.
The only real negative about the product is the odor. When you open the bottle the capsules have an odd aroma. They smell strong and pungent. It's the Butea Superba. It is extracted at such a high degree it creates a powerful odor. Not exactly the most pleasant smelling stuff in the world. But it's a small inconvenience for the results it delivers.
Bottom Line: It's our choice as number one. It's new, cutting edge and extremely powerful. It's driven by the most sophisticated extended-release nitric oxide delivery technology we have ever seen (they call it Rapid Expansion Technology – but that's just a fancy name for delayed and extended release technology). But perhaps the most compelling evidence of Longinexx's superiority in the male enhancement category is the feedback from actual users. Customer surveys have consistently ranked Longinexx as the #1 product in the category since its introduction. It gets our highest marks and it's our unanimous choice as the Product of the Year. Whether you're 21 or 71 you are going to get some great results with Longinexx.
Longinexx is available at their website www.Longinexx.com or by calling them directly at 1-800-799-6384.
Zyrexin – With their exclusive rights to the wonder compound that makes it so amazingly effective, it is no wonder this five year old product is still so popular. Go into any Wal-Mart and chances are you'll see someone buying a bottle of this dynamite product. It has been the number one selling Viagra alternative at retail stores for three years in a row. Not even Activator-Rx which is a fantastic product can deliver results quite as good as these and heres the best part, somehow they managed to make this stuff affordable unlike Activator-Rx which is quite expensive. No other product sold at retail stores, online, or anywhere else for that matter comes close to being as effective as Zyrexin. It was the king of the hill in 2009 and has only cemented its position as the leader of its catagory by a wide margin over the course of 2010. Not even the Activator-Rx which placed 2nd has been able to challenge Zyrexin's place as champion. Zyrexin seems poised to remain undisputed through 2011 though you never know what breakthrough might be around the corner.
Those wanting to try Zyrexin can get it at Wal-Mart, CVS, Rite Aide, GNC and over the Internet at www.Zyrexin.com or you can call them at 1-800-301-4027. They ship world wide so you can experience the power of Zyrexin no matter what country you live in.
What is Zyrexin?
Zyrexin is all-natural male enhancement supplement that utilizes the only ingredient ever awarded a United States patent. We did the research and poured over of the science behind it and we can say for sure it is an amazingly powerfull compound that, when combined in their scientifically engineered formula with the other carefully chossen ingredients such as xanthoparmelia scabrosa and cnidium monnierin , makes Zyrexin by far the single most effective product in Viagra Alternitives catagory. According to Zyrexin, the pill begins working in less than an hour, making it easier to maintain an erection without needing additional assistance. That's not all, though – it also makes your erection bigger, harder and more rigid, making sexual intercourse more pleasurable.
Does it Work?
Absolutely. Not only is their unique patented ingredient rich in prostate-boosting sterols, such as beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol, there is also plenty of REAL hard evidence supporting its ability to improve erectile function. According to a study reported on PubMed.gov, the National Institutes of Health's medical study database, over 82% of men who took it for three months experienced significantly better erectile function, which helped improve erection strength and rigidity. The study also concluded it was not toxic, with no side effects noted by any participants.
Xanthoparmelia scabrosa and cnidium monnier are also both identified as potent libido boosters in Chinese medicine, backed up by plenty of anecdotal evidence. It's not clear how it works, but men who took both ingredients noticed a significant increase in libido, improving their performance in the bedroom. An increase in libido also improves sexual stamina, reducing the symptoms of premature ejaculation.
Is it Safe?
Yes. No known side effects or contraindications are associated with any of Zyrexin's ingredients, including its unique patented compound. It also does not cause any dangerous reactions with other drugs or supplements.
Grade: A+
Not only is Zyrexin effective, it's virtually free of any side effects—something you won't hear from Viagra or Cialis. It's also one of the fastest working supplements—it literally goes to work in less than an hour to improve erectile function. Zyrexin earns an A for using high quality ingredients that are proven to reduce erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation, something over-the-counter enhancement supplements can't do. You can get it at Wal-Mart, CVS, Rite Aide, GNC and over the Internet at www.Zyrexin.com or you can call them at 1-800-301-4027
Dapovar - This brilliantly designed product stands alone at the top of the heap of the products designed to delay your orgasm. It represents a quantum leap in science as it is the first over-the-counter pill that actually works. You don't have to slap on some cream or gel, and hope your partner doesn't notice. Dapovar are simple capsules filled with Selective Serotonin Reuptake (SSRI) that you take to modulate the serotonin level in your body. After about a month or so you will notice that you last longer. The increase in performance time is sensational.
The science is obviously taken directly from the pharmaceutical drug Dapoxetine, which is a premature ejaculation drug that was recently approved for sale in several European countries, including Finland, Sweden, Portugal, Austria and Germany. Dapoxetine is also being considered for approval in other European countries and in the United States, where it is currently in phase III of the approval process with the FDA. The statistics on men who ejaculate too quickly is staggering. Over 30 million men in America suffer from some sort of Erectile Dysfunction (E.D.), but over 60 million men suffer from Premature Ejaculation (P.E.).
When Dapoxetine, which is sold under the trade name Priligy is approved for sale in America it is going to be a bigger revolution than Viagra. But right now, Dapovar is cleaning up the market as their natural product seems to mimic Dapoxetine flawlessly. This is undoubtedly because of the formula. The key to the drug Dapoxetine is that it is a SSRI, which is the key to preventing P.E. Check out the lab tests and see how the 5-HTP levels in Dapovar are significantly higher than those of the other natural P.E. pills.
The product is manufactured by a company based in Amsterdam and sold through distributors in the United Stated and Canada. Some men report lasting longer after taking the pills after just 10 days, but we have found real results start after about 3 to 4 weeks. The only negative that we can find with Dapovar is the time. It's not like a top cream that you can use the very same day, Dapovar does require you to take the pills every day for about a month until you start lasting longer. But it's well worth the wait. The results are nothing short of amazing. Men who never last more than 60 seconds are suddenly finding they are lasting over 7 minutes. On average! The impact on their confidence might be the biggest impact, that being entering a bedroom knowing that you won't be embarrassed with a "minute man" performance and that you'll be able to control yourself. Out of all the products we have evaluated, in all categories, this product is clearly the one that represents the most revolutionary change. We are happy to report the days of not having a way to overcome premature ejaculation have come to end! A product ahead of its time. Sensational.
Dapovar is available at their website www.Dapovar.com or by calling them directly at 1-800-817-2976.
Naturally Huge – This natural supplement is one of the more impressive products we have evaluated. It was clearly the obvious choice as the number two most effective product in the entire "Get Bigger" category. The "Get Bigger" category is the biggest, and the most competitive category, with companies starting to use more sophisticated blending techniques, higher grade herbs and compounds, and most importantly more are starting to use delivery systems normally only used in the past by pharmaceutical companies.
For starters it scores high with its very impressive and compressive formula. Too many products in this category are "one dimensional" – those days are long gone if a product wants to make it to the top of the heap! Men have submitted surveys and documents citing dramatic increases in erection size and fullness as a result of using the Naturally Huge formula. The stories of praise for this formula can be attributed to its key complex. This proprietary blend is dominated by the natural combination of pharmaceutical grade ingredients they call Vasodex. The two key components of Vasodex are the Hemodialators: L-Arginine and L-Citrulline.
It is now understood that Citrulline converts to Arginine thereby producing more Nitric Oxide in your body and thereby expanding your circulation capacity. Sidney J. Morris, Jr., of the Department of Molecular Genetic and Biochemistry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine explains it "The conversion of citrulline to arginine occurs via the sequential action of argininosuccinate synthase and argininosuccinate lyase." More nitric oxide means greater expansion which citrulline contributes to.
By naming their proprietary blend Vasodex, Bio Vita Labs, the Palo Alto, California-based company behind Naturally Huge, is clearly trying to imitate or trying to glean some of the success of the leading supplement in the category, Longinexx. Vasodex sounds very similar to Vasobolic. They do a pretty good job of shadowing the famous Longinexx formula, but ultimately come up short on both potency and effectiveness. Incorporating L-Citrulline indicates a level of pharmacological sophistication few in the industry possess and its benefits are obvious. The formula is just under 1900mg per dosage and consists of 19 compounds. It is highlighted by Yanhusuo Extract, Long Jack, and Tribulus Terrestris Extract.
One of the few negatives related to the product is its name. Men have indicated they do not like to go to a store to buy Naturally Huge and even feel uncomfortable having it in their medicine chest at home. The old adage you shouldn't judge a book by its cover is true here. It's a semi-silly name, but an extremely complicated, well designed, multifaceted supplement that is the second best we have evaluated. If you want to make your penis bigger, this can do the trick. But be patient, remember the claims companies make of pills add enormous size in 30 days – its bull. Plan on 6 to 10 weeks for Naturally Huge to produce any significant results. Just like lifting weights – you don't lift weights for 3 weeks and turn into Arnold. Great product, great company!

Stamina-RX – You don't sell over 100 million tablets if your pills don't work. You don't sponsor a NASCAR if your pills don't work. Well this great product put out by Atlanta based formula genius Jared Wheat of Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals has been a top five product for close to 10 years!
Jared was the first formulator in America to combine Cnidium Monnier and Xanthopharmeia Scabrosa, and the results speak for themselves.
Stamina-RX is the real deal. Even though the formula hasn't changed in 10 years, and new developments have been made in sexual supplements, Stamina-RX still gets the job done like a champion. Not in the same league as Zyrexin, it's still a great product. One word of caution however, since it has been so popular for so long, there are a number of Stamina Rx counterfeits and imitations on the market, so look for the Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals name on the bottle or blister pack.
They also has a Stamina-RX liquid and a Stamina-RX drink called "Sex on The Beach." Both are innovative well-made product. The "Sex on the Beach" tastes just like the cocktail. Available nationwide a retailer like Rite Aide, and GNC and at thousands of gas stations.

What is ArginMax?
ArginMax is an all-natural male enhancement product that helps reduce erection problems caused by erectile dysfunction (ED), which affects nearly 30 million American men each year. It works by increasing blood circulation to the corpus cavernosum, the spongy material inside of the penis that creates an erection. The result? A stronger, longer-lasting erection, which stays erect even without additional physical stimulation. It's essentially herbal Viagra without the harmful side effects.
Ingredients:
ArginMax contains l-arginine, ginseng, ginkgo, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B, selenium, zinc and niacin.
Does it Work?
Yes. The effectiveness of l-arginine on male sexual health is paramount—according to a study reported in the British Journal of Urology, 31% of men who took l-arginine supplements doubled their nitric oxide levels, significantly reducing erectile dysfunction. According to a similar study conducted on lab rats, consumption of water laced with l-arginine increased penile hardness by up to 148%, with an increase in nitric oxide levels by 100%.
According to LovetoKnow expert Mike Johnson, vitamins A, C, and E also increase sex hormone production, improving a man's sex drive and penile strength by strengthening the veins leading to the penis. It also helps increase sperm count, essential for improving fertility.
Is it Safe?
Yes—but be careful if you have a pre-existing heart condition, liver or kidney disease. L-arginine can cause low blood pressure or affect the blood's electrolytes, causing heart or blood pressure problems. Overuse of l-arginine—which won't happen if you use ArginMax as directed—may also cause cramping, nausea or stomach discomfort.
Grade: B
ArginMax contains safe, effective ingredients that help reduce the symptoms of erectile dysfunction, increasing penile hardness and rigidity. It's also safer than other prescription medications, such as Viagra or Cialis. This is an excellent product for reducing erectile dysfunction safely and naturally.
Betterman –Excellent product that made it into the Top 15. The Chinese formula is over 50 years old and was brought to the U.S. by Peipei Wu Wishnow, Ph.D., a founder of Massachusetts based Interceuticals. A research scientist, Wu Wishnow was born in China where she perfected the art of preparing remedies. The formula consists of 18 pure Chinese herbs. The two active ingredients in the formula are Wu Wei Zi, a dried fruit, and Yin Yang Huo, a dried plant, both of which are non-toxic. The recommended dosage is to follow two 20-day cycles – one capsule twice a day for 20 days, followed by a three-day break followed by another 20-day cycle. Reports have been positive. Best results usually require three twenty days cycles. Results and reports have been positive. GRADE B+
What is Betterman?
Betterman is a male enhancement supplement that helps reduce urinary frequency and erectile dysfunction (ED), two common problems that affect American men over age 40. Using a variety of Chinese herbs and extracts, it naturally improves blood circulation, sexual function, and the strength of blood vessels, making erections easier to maintain. Betterman is taken in cycles to ensure the body is constantly stimulated by its ingredients, with results seen within weeks of use.
Ingredients:
Betterman contains ginseng root, yam rhizomes, white peony root, epimedium, deer antler, astragalus root, poria fungus, morinda root, cornus fruit, wood cotton bark, dong quai root, wolfberry fruit, rehmannia root, Szechuan Lovage root, schisandra fruit, Siberian ginseng, cynomorium and cinnamon bark.
Does it Work?
Probably. Ginseng is a very popular—and effective—herb for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, which currently affects nearly 30 million men in the United States. According to one study conducted by Yonsei University in 1995, 60% of men who took ginseng regularly significantly reduced erectile difficulty, making it easier to maintain an erection without additional support.
Yam rhizomes also contain vitamin C, which helps strengthen veins leading to the penis, increasing penile rigidity. Strong veins also make it easier to get an erection, eliminating the symptoms of erectile dysfunction.
Is it Safe?
Yes. It may cause negative interactions with other drugs, however, including phenelzine and coumadin. It may also worsen the effects of digoxin for people suffering from congestive heart failure. If you suffer from congestive heart failure, seek medical advice before taking Betterman.
Grade: B
Betterman contains several key ingredients that help reduce erectile dysfunction, increasing penis rigidity and hardness without the use of harsh chemicals. Over time, Betterman may reduce your symptoms of erectile dysfunction. This is an excellent product for improving your sexual stamina and power.
Climatrol - Here is another natural pill that is using the same science used by Dapoxetine, the prescription pill approved for sale in many European countries. Climatrol has been on the market for awhile with a nice mixture of 5 HTP and other compounds including kava kava, folic acid, passion flower, and vitamin B6.
The 5 HTP comes from an extract of graffonia seed, also know as graffonia simplicifolia which is an extract of seeds from a natural plant found in costal West Africa. Increasing serotonin levels with natural herbal products like Graffonia mimic the effects of SSRI's without adverse side effects. Important byproducts most commonly associated with SSRI's are delayed ejaculation and delayed orgasm.
This product works and many men have reported that they are lasting longer by taking Climatrol. The only downside is like all natural pills designed to end premature ejaculation, they take some time to work. You must take the pills for a bout a month until you start to notice a difference. The upside is that is woks and once you get past the 30 days or so it takes for it to work for you, then you are good to go from that point forward. No need for a cream or gel
Grade: B
While the formula is very good, its' not as strong as we would like to see. It is better than all other pill we have tested other than Dapovar. Expensive at over $100 a bottle – but they get it because it works. Good solid product.
Cobra – One of the original natural male performance products. It is a product that must be taken for months before any real difference can be experienced. It has a nice base of top quality herbs that are good for overall male health, but it's a formula that is outdated. Much new advancement has taken place since this product was created years ago.The Formula includes 11 herbs including Kola Nut, Oat Straw, Nettles, Muira Pauma, and Damiana. It can give someone with a slight energy or circulation problem a boost, but don't expect dramatic results with this product. Some have said it's like a wooden golf club, they were once the best around, but those days are long gone. GRADE C
What is Cobra?
Cobra is a all-natural male enhancement supplement containing muira puama, better known as Brazilian "potency wood", which improves sexual performance. Other ingredients, such as ginseng, also supposedly improve energy and endurance during lovemaking, reducing common sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction (ED) or premature ejaculation. Positive reviews from Amazon.com and GNC have made it one of the most popular male enhancement supplements available today.
Ingredients:
Cobra contains kola nut, yohimbe bark extract, oatstraw, nettles leaf extract, eleuthero, horny goat weed, catuaba, muira puama, Korean ginseng, damiana leaf and saw palmetto.
Does it Work?
Yes—and it's effective. PDRHealth.com, a leading resource for physicians in the United States, lists muira puama as an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) and low libido, improving erection quality with regular use. It also contains anxiogenic properties, which increases energy levels quickly without causing any significant side effects.
Korean ginseng was also identified as an effective aid for ED in a study conducted by Sao Paulo University's Urological Division in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Taking Korean ginseng before intercourse improved erection quality, increasing the length of intercourse.
Don't leave out yohimbe bark extract either—it also contains an alkaloid called yohimbine, which helps reduce ED and a condition called orgasmic dysfunction, or an inability to orgasm while being sexually stimulated.
Is it Safe?
Not entirely. Yohimbe bark may cause high blood pressure, insomnia or skin flushing, making it potentially unsafe for people with heart or blood pressure conditions. It also increases a person's risk for panic attacks. There are few side effects associated with the rest of Cobra's ingredients.
Grade: D
Although it isn't as effective as Zyrexin, its ingredients are proven to attack ED at its core, making it easier to maintain an erection without additional physical stimulation. If you're looking for a great alternative to Zyrexin or Actra-RX, consider giving Cobra a try.
Cockstar- Taking their logo from the popular energy drink Rock Star, this capsule can get the job done! With such a graphic name they have not been able to get mainstream distribution in the Wal-Marts and GNC's of the world. However, this solid product, sold only in two pill blisters is sold both online and at many adult bookstores across the country.
Grade: B
The formula can be hit or miss depending upon the harvest of the herbs, but more often than not it's a winner. Sometimes it is too strong which can result in a headache, but that may be a small price to pay for an erection that resembles a baseball bat! Cock Star may sound like a gimmick, but it works.
Deferol - This well made product is contains five ingredients designed to help you delay or "defer' your climax. The key ingredients is graffonia seed, also know as graffonia simplicifolia. It a natural plant found in costal West Africa, and it is the extract of the seed that produces 5-HTP.
Deferol is a natural alternative to the super blockbuster taking Europe by storm called Dapoxetine. Dapoxetine is sold under the trade name Priligy and it stops premature ejaculation because it neutralizes a chemical messenger in the brain called serotonin, the neurotransmitter also affected by antidepressants such as Prozac.
Grade: B-
This product is very similar in design to Climatrol, but lab tests showed it's ingredient levels were not as strong as Climatrol, not to mention Dapovar. A one-month supply is only about $29. This is a relatively new product and the makers have done a fine job for their first product. With just a few adjustments to their formula this could be a top 5 product in the future.
What is Enzyte?
If you're a regular TV viewer, you're probably familiar with "Smiling Bob", the happy-go-lucky spokesperson for Enzyte, a male enhancement product. The sprinkling of sexual innuendos in each Enzyte commercial alludes to its biggest supposed benefit—its ability to increase penis length and girth. According to Enzyte.com, however, it doesn't just make men bigger down there—it also improves sexual performance and stamina. With over 10 million boxes sold worldwide, it's hard to argue the popularity of this all-natural male enhancement product.
Ingredients:
Enzyte contains ginkgo biloba, horny goat weed extract, Korean ginseng, tribulus terrestris extract and L-arginine.
Does it Work?
Maybe. Both ginkgo biloba and Korean ginseng increase blood flow to the penis, making it easier to get an erection. Korean ginseng also increase nitric oxide levels, having a positive effect on the pleasure centers in the brain. Hypothetically, this should improve sexual satisfaction and libido, making sex more pleasurable.
But these ingredients don't play a role in Enzyte's supposed ability to increase the penis's length and girth. Although increased libido may strengthen the hardness of an erection, which may increase length, this isn't a permanent fix. Once the erection disappears, so does its length.
Is it Safe?
No. Enzyte contains bee pollen, which can be harmful for people with pollen allergies. It may also cause hypotension, or low blood pressure. People with diabetes, heart disease or Parkinson's disease should not take Enzyte because it may worsen these conditions. People with a history of schizophrenia should also avoid taking Enzyte because it contains Korean ginseng, which reportedly causes increased agitation in schizophrenics.
Grade: C
Enzyte may not give you a fuller, longer erection, but some of its ingredients may improve libido, stamina and erection strength, improving sexual satisfaction. It's not the cure for erectile dysfunction, however, and is not completely free of harmful ingredients. "All-natural" is not necessarily an indicator of safety in this case.
What is Extenze?
Extenze is a male enhancement supplement that claims to naturally boost the length and girth of the penis by nearly 27% making intercourse more pleasurable—and more exciting for their partners. It also supposedly reduces problems associated with erectile dysfunction (ED), which makes it difficult to achieve an erection. A nationwide TV advertising campaign made it initially popular with American men.
Ingredients:
Extenze contains folate, zinc, micronized DHEA, prognanolone, black pepper, piper longum, ginger, yohimbe extract, tribulus terrestris extract, Korean ginseng root, cnidium monnier, eleutherococcus extract, xanthroparmella scarbrosa, gamma-aminobutryic acid (GABA), velvet deer antler, horny goat weed, damiana, muira puama extract, pumpkin seed, stinging nettle root, astragalus root, licorice extract, L-arginine, Ho Shou Wu extract, hops extract and boron.
Does it work?
It might. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), there is enough clinical evidence showing yohimbe extract effectively treats problems caused by erectile dysfunction. There is also some anecdotal evidence it may increase the sex drive, although studies showed it wasn't very reliable.
The Journal of Urology also showed Korean ginseng, or red ginseng, helped treat erectile dysfunction by improving penile rigidity and strength, making it easier to maintain an erection.
But none of these ingredients cause temporary penis enlargement, which Extenze claims to do.
Is it Safe?
No. According to a 2005 report by the Los Angeles Times, Extenze was fined $300,000 for making false claims about its product, which included using unsafe levels of lead—and not disclosing it to its customers. Although Extenze has removed lead from its product since the report, there are still major side effects associated with it, including heart palpitations, confusion, fainting and migraines. Because it may affect blood pressure, people with diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure should not take Extenze.
Grade: D
If some things sound too good to be true, it probably is—Extenze being no exception to this rule. Although its rich herb complex may improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction, it is not a cure for it.
Horny Goat Weed – The ads say "When in need Try this Weed". In need of what is a mystery. If you are dating a goat this might help you get lucky, but other than that it doesn't seem to offer much else. As one fellow wrote, when his date saw that he kept a bottle of Horny Goat Weed in his bathroom, she burst out laughing and walked out on him.
The formula is based upon 15th century folklore about an herb that was alleged to make men more virile. Also contains L-Dopamine which is most noted for appetite suppression, like amphetamines. Contains polypodium vulgare, which is another sort of ecdysterone.
Grade: C-
Data on ecdysterone specifically state that this compound has no effect whatsoever on male hormone levels at all. Pretty slim basis for increased sexual prowess.
Hot Plants - This is an extremely well-made formula from one of my favorite supplement companies - Enzymatic Therapy of Green Bay, Wisconsin. I take their product Cell Forte (IP-6 and inositol) every day to enhance and improve my immune system.
The product was formulated by Chris Kilham, a real researcher, who teaches Ethnobotany at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and who has trekked around the world searching out and testing numerous compounds reported to work for better sex. Intrestingly enough, Chris, is known as the "Medicine Hunter" because he has traveled the world from the rain forests of Malaysia to the mountains of Siberia seeking and testing sex-enhancing compounds.
His travels and research are chronicled his book, Hot Plants: Nature's Proven Sex Boosters for Men and Women. It's a great read and I highly recommend it. This six-compound formula is made up of Macapure, Togkat Ali LJ100, Rhodiola, Yohimbe, HGW, and Panax ginseng all in the form of high-grade extracts. My favorite is the 100:1 Tongkat Ali extract called LJ100.
Grade: C
I like this product and many other men will too I am sure. An extremely well-made product created by a top formulator- it makes my Top 15 List.
What is Lexaryn?
Lexaryn is an all-natural male enhancement supplement that claims to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), a common male dysfunction disorder. It even claims it is more effective than Cialis, an FDA-approved drug. But Lexaryn claims you'll get more than a decrease in ED symptoms: it also says it can increase penis length permanently, make erections harder, and safely boost the sex drive.
Ingredients:
Lexaryn contains yohimbe bark extract, epimedium, ashwagandha root, maca root, l-arginine, dimethylglycine (DMG), l-tyrosine, choline, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), tribulus terrestris and bioperine.
Does it Work?
It may work. Yohimbe bark has been shown to reverse symptoms of ED and other sexual dysfunctions, including orgasmic dysfunction and ejaculation dysfunction. Several clinical trials suggest it may be a viable alternative treatment for ED, although many health organizations don't currently recommend it--regular use can cause serious side effects, such as panic attacks and hallucinations.
Epimedium, more commonly know as horny goat weed, may also decrease symptoms of ED. According to a study reported in the Journal of Urology, rats who received epimedium injections displayed an increase in penile blood pressure, which improved their ability to have an erection. Researchers believe icariin, epimedium's active ingredient, increases nitric oxide levels, which improves erectile function.
Not all of Lexaryn's ingredients are proven to work, however. Ashwagandha root, maca root, choline and bioperine have not been shown to improve ED symptoms in any clinical trials.
Is it Safe?
No. Yohimbe bark can cause panic attacks, hallucinations, dizziness or changes in blood pressure. Physicians do not recommend taking any supplements containing yohimbe bark if you have a history of heart, blood, or psychiatric problems.
Grade: D
Lexaryn is definitely effective, but it also contains numerous side effects, including an increase in anxiety-like symptoms, such as panic attacks. If you have any pre-existing heart, blood or psychiatric problems, Lexaryn will aggravate these conditions. Speak with your physician before using this supplement to avoid additional side effects or contraindications.
Maca Man – Remember all the hype surrounding the release of the movie The Godfather III? Everyone loved Godfather I & Godfather II, and expectations for the third in the series were high. All the build-up, all the anticipation, and the end result was a bad movie.
Grade: D
The same is true of maca-based products. Manufacturers are touting maca like it's the Babe Ruth of herbs and yet it's a bust. To a tee every survey sheet we have received about maca products have been negative.
Magna Rx: This male enhancement system—in reality, it's a naturally-derived supplement, not a system—made itself known online by dominating the natural male enhancement market, featured on nearly every sexual supplementation store on the Internet. It claims to increase penis length by up to 5 inches within three weeks, enhancing sexual desire and stimulation—a key factor for improving sexual satisfaction. It also claims to improve the intensity of male orgasms with a proprietary blend they'll only call their "Orgasmic Thrust Activation Process".
Ingredients:
MagnaRX contains pygeum africanum bark, maca, horny goat weed, oat straw, oyster, catauba, oriental ginseng, L-arginine, stinging nettle, cayenne, muira puama, orchic substance, smilax officinalis, astragalus, licorice, pumpkin seed, terra alba, dicalcium phospahte, talc and cellulose.
Does it Work?
No. None of its ingredients are shown to increase penis length or width, although it may reduce the symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED). Anecdotal evidence from MagnaRX customers also shows it does not have a significant effect on penis length. It may improve blood flow to the penis, however, which helps improve penis rigidity and strength.
Is it Safe?
No, especially if you have a heart problem. MagnaRX is known to effect the heart's rhythm, putting you at risk for a heart arrhythmia. It may also affect your blood pressure, heart beat, or cause significant chest pain. Other side effects include digestive problems—pygeum africanum can cause nausea, constipation, bloating or diarrhea—severe mood swings, blurry vision, dizziness, migraines and excessive gas.
Because of an increased risk for additional side effects, people with heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or a mood disorder should not take it.
Grade: F
There is no evidence that MagnaRX increases penis length—most of the ingredients promote ED regression instead, a key problem for men over 40. It's definitely not the male enhancement cure it claims to be—and it's definitely not safe for everyday use.
Nasutra – Also pulled off the market in both Canada and the United States for being laced with a Viagra analogue. Classic example of a Chinese supplier sending over a cheap synthetic chemical rather than an herbal extract. Remember, chemicals are much cheaper to manufacture than natural herbs.
Nasutra, is no longer being sold, however there have been reports of some stores still selling out their inventory. Of course it worked, but it is potentially deadly since the amount of chemicals and other ingredients in the product is unknown. If you are an older man and taking an MAO inhibitor, or if you are supposed to avoid PDE 5 inhibitors like Viagra and you take a couple of Nasutra thinking it's all-natural, you could end up dead.
There have been many reports from hospital emergency rooms across the country of men being rushed in with heart attaches and seizures from taking herbal sexual supplements that secretly contain a drug like Viagra, Cialias or Levitra. Some Nasutra is still out there so watch out if you are at risk.
What is Orexis?
Orexis is a non-prescription male enhancement supplement that works by boosting the libido shortly before intercourse to prevent erectile dysfunction (ED), or an inability to maintain an erection. Like other supplements, Orexis provides erectile support by increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps it stay fuller and more rigid when stimulated. This also causes an indirect benefit--increased stamina during sexual intercourse. To enable it to work, Orexis recommend using their supplement 45 minutes before beginning sexual stimulation to promote penis rigidity and fullness.
Ingredients:
Orexis contains a proprietary blend of horny goat weed, yohimbe extract, tribulus and other ingredients, which they aren't willing to reveal on their website.
Does it Work?
There is some evidence it may work. According to a report in the Journal of Urology, horny goat weed was shown to induce erections in rats, improving their copulatory performance. Other evidence also suggests it contains a compound chemically similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. Some researchers suggest it may be a viable alternative to Viagra, although it hasn't been approved for this use by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Yohimbe has also been shown to improve erectile function, although its reported effects are derived from anecdotal, not scientific, evidence. There is scientific evidence that it helps improve the libido, especially when combined with ginseng or l-arginine. But this comes at a huge risk--yohimbe is know to worsen anxiety conditions, and can trigger panic attacks and hallucinations.
Is it Safe?
No. Yohimbe extract can worsen anxiety conditions, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or social anxiety disorder (SAD). It can also cause hallucinations, panic attacks, flushing of the skin, dizziness, an increase in heart rate, high blood pressure and insomnia. People with heart, blood or psychiatric problems should avoid taking supplements containing yohimbe extract.
Grade: D
Orexis may reduce ED by improving erectile function, but this comes at an increased risk—some of its ingredients worsen anxiety and heart-related problems, such as rapid heart rate and panic attacks. If you have a history of heart, blood or psychiatric disorders, this is not an ideal supplement for you.
Paravol – From Palo Alto Labs, the Florida/Maine based company behind Aspire 36 Plus and Vazopren, this product is not designed to work in less than an hour, but is designed to work over time. You must take if for about two months for it to kick in as the ingredients are designed to work over time. And they do.
It tunes up your entire "male area" and can make a big difference. Only gets average marks here however because, as a Viagra alternative, most men desire a pill to work on-demand, in less than an hour. But if you are in no hurry, this might be the product for you. Some top products just take time to work.
In fact, the number one rated last longer product XanthoRX, takes a few months as well, but its worth the wait. Here too, the wait is worth it for many guys.
PE Control - Incredibility this product is sold in most drug stores around the United States claiming to offer a solution to those men suffering from Premature Ejaculation. That's a big audience! Over 60 million men the America alone suffer from P.E. Developed and manufactured by Universal products of Troy, Michigan, (The same company behind the very average male enhancement product The Men's Club) theses pill will not help you last longer in bed. It's impossible except for a placebo effect you may experience.
The only proven compounds that can make you last long are SSRI's. That means the only way for a natural pill to work at making you last longer, is for the pill to contain 5-HTP. This product does not. It's a simple powder blend of yohimbe, catuba bark, muira puame, maca root, cayenne and ginseng.
Grade: D
The product claims "Say Bye Bye to the two-minute man". Well not with this product. At the end of the day this product is a marketing gimmick that won't do anything to make you last longer. These herbs can help give you a slight boost to your libido, but that's about it.
Power V – This formula is a classic example of a top product being imitated and almost copied exactly. The power V formula is similar to Herbal V, the number one male performance product. The problem with knocking off popular supplement formulas, is you are often left with a product that is a much less potent version of the original.
Grade: D
Think of it like this. Have you ever eaten a $2 steak? The price might be great, but if the steak tastes like your shoe, did you really get a good deal? Survey sheets received on Power V mostly expressed dissappoinment. Power V dosen't offer to much to get excited about.
Pro Plus – With claims like "will enlarge your penis up to 4 inches" and "you can make that miracle happen" or "gives you the maximum potential you want in only two months," this company's advertising department is stretching things just a bit too far. Put aside all the advertising hype and hyperbole, and what you have is a mediocre product that seems to only produce mild results.
It does not contain any growth factors, but it does have a simple mix of six botanicals – Horny Goat Weed, Yohimbe (bark), Ginko Biloba, Ginseng, Saw Palmetto and Muira Puama all at 100mg levels. These ingredients have been proven clinically to increase blood flow. There is also a body of antidotal evidence that shows the ingredients result in more pleasure during intercourse. But the levels are very low, the yohimbe is in the less potent bark form rather than in the more expensive and much more potent extract form, and it contains no vasodilators.
Grade: F
Priced at $60 for a one month supply, Pro Plus is the middle of the pack at best. This Hollywood, California company should strengthen their product before making such outlandish claims.
What is Prolixus?
Prolixus is a natural penis enlargement supplement that claims to widen and thicken the penis instead of lengthening it--a common claim made by male enhancement companies. According to Prolixus, lengthening the penis is impossible, but beefing it up--akin to building arm or leg muscle--is possible due to its ingredients, which include niacin and epimedium. To promote thickness, they utilize a technique called the tissue stimulation transport system, which transports these key ingredients to the cells inside the penis, causing immediate enlargement.
Ingredients:
Prolixus contains niacin, epimedium, ginkgo and ginseng.
Does it Work?
It could. According to one study, ginseng has been shown to stimulate the gonadal tissues with regular use--this essentially means it makes it easier to have an erection. Other evidence also suggests it also has strong aphrodisiac properties, and helps promote stamina during intercourse. Epimedium, better known as horny goat weed, has also been shown to be an effective aphrodisiac--it promoted reproductive properties in animal studies. Epimedium also contains a chemical called icariin, which is chemically similar to Viagra's active ingredient, sildenafil.
But these ingredients aren't completely safe—some of them increase the risk for gastrointestinal disorders and bleeding. Both gingko and ginseng increase bleeding, and can be potentially dangerous for people with bleeding disorders.
Is it Safe?
No. As mentioned above, both ginkgo and ginseng increase bleeding, and is not a safe supplement for men with bleeding disorders. People who take anticoagulants should also seek medical advice before taking Prolixus. There is also an increased risk for gastrointestinal upset, nausea and vomiting.
Grade: F
The evidence clearly shows Prolixus contains some strong aphrodisiac properties, but there's also an increased risk for bleeding, which can be potentially dangerous—or life-threatening—for men with bleeding disorders. There is also no evidence it can increase penis length, and may be ineffective for this use.
Stamanex - The manufactures behind this is Sterling-Grant, a solid company with a good reputation. This product is not one of their best however. Trying to capitalize on the success of the 100 millions tablets sold by Stamina Rx, this is an obvious attempt to try and steal their thunder.
While it does have a nice mix of ingredients, it's lab report was only average. This explains why the results are, basically average. Some older men seem to like the fact that it is very subtle formula that works over time, meaning weeks. With all of the new advancements in super critical extraction processes, with extracts being stronger, this formula needs to be updated to get into the Top 20.
Vazopren – You probably have seen this advertised in the sports section of your local paper or in USA Today's sport section. Their ads always feature a hot girl and an offer to try the pills free. This is one of those companies that gives you a free trial and then sends you a shipment automatically every month unless you cancel. Some guys hate the auto-shipment program, while other guys love it. Nothing wrong with it, in fact is saves you money and the hassle of calling all the time. But just know that's the "catch" behind the free bottle offer.
But enough about the billing – how about the pill? It works, no question. They couldn't give it away free if it wasn't good or else no one would ever buy it again. Imagine owning a pizza shop and you give away free slices to promote your store and the pizza stinks. No one would re-buy and you'd be out of business right? Of course. So these pills work.
They are not as strong as our Top 5 but they are pretty darn good. They come in a liquid cap to increase the extraction process and allow more active ingredients. Sounds like a gimmick, but its actually excellence science. It does make a difference. Compared to the same formula in a dry power the difference is night and day. Good product that can make a lot of men happy campers!
Veromax – One of the original products to incorporate L-Arginine into its formula starting back in 1998. Formulated by Maryland based urologist Melvin Duckett, the product has not changed since its introduction.
It is not a bad formula but it has surprisingly low levels of L-Arginine. 100 mgs of L-Arginine are in each serving, which, according to published clinical trials, is well below those levels required to be effective.
Grade: B
It takes a long time to see results from using this product based on what I have heard from people, but it's still a decent product. And don't forget, Dr. Duckett did a great job of spreading the awareness of the sexual benefits associated with L-Arginine use.
Vigor-Rx – Often confused with VigRx and Vigor 25, but there is a world of difference between the three. Most important – Vigor Rx hit the jackpot when it came to designing a top formula. One of the top five Viagra alternatives in the world. One of the keys to its effectiveness is its use of the compound Belizean Man Vine. This is a very rare compound that is legendary in Belize – but difficult to harvest and source.
These guys apparently have the hook up because it really works. Just two capsules and in 30 minutes you are ready to go – super hard and for a long time. Many have complained that their ads and direct mail pieces brag too much that it's a turn off or almost seems like bull. Well we can tell you they can do all the bragging they want because this pill works!! Great product. Available at retailers nationwide including many GNC stores.
What is Vitrix?
Vitrix is a male performance aid that claims to elevate testosterone, the male hormone responsible for promoting mass muscle gain, hardness and libido. Unlike other bodybuilding supplements, Vitrix doesn't need to be cycled in order to maintain its effectiveness. They credit this natural enhancement to tribulus terrestris, an all-natural plant extract rich in saponin and protodioscin.
Ingredients:
Vitrix contains German tribulus terrestris and a liquid proprietary phyto-nutrient blend of vitex agnus castus, avena sativa, eqidmedium and eurycomo longfolia jack.
Does it Work?
It's unclear. Tribulus terrestris hasn't been proven to facilitate muscle or testosterone growth--many studies returned varying, unstable results. Numerous studies also failed to raise testosterone levels in men. The verdict right now is that tribuls terrestris is not an effective supplement for increasing testosterone levels.
But tribulus terrestris isn't completely ineffective. One study, conducted by National University Hospital, suggests it contains aphrodisiac properties--including an increase in ejaculation, sexual desire and libido. Although researchers observed these results in animals, not humans, it strongly suggests it may be a viable sex aid for several sexual dysfunctions, including erectile dysfunction.
Is it Safe?
Almost--except for one major problem. Tribulus terrestris can cause a condition called gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement. This condition is not reversible. Drugs and surgery can correct some of the breast growth, but it isn't guaranteed.
Grade: C
Just because it's all-natural doesn't always mean it's safe or effective--Vitrix being a perfect example of this. Tribulus terrestris can also increase male breast growth, which can be emotionally difficult to deal with. There is definitely some evidence it can improve the libido, but this only targets one part of sexual dysfunction—erectile function and sexual desire are more important factors.
Vivaxa - This product works by helping to soothe the hypersensitive skin of your penis without completely numbing it, so you can last longer. Also it does a nice job of not numbing her like some of the desensitizing lubricants on the market. One of the big problems with the products like Man Delay and many of the "stay hard" creams is that they are basically pure benzocaine which practically puts your penis to sleep it can be so strong. Here, Vivaxa does a great job of desensitizing your penis just enough so that you can last longer, while not making you or your companion too numb. The product has a nice pleasant smell as well which is a plus. It doesn't smell like you are wiping medicine onto your penis!
It is definitely one of the top 5 orgasm control gels on the market. It is made by Barmensen Labs, the same company that makes Maxoderm and Vazomyne. As you know we are not impressed with Maxoderm at all, and Vazomyne is a good solid product, but Vivaxa is clearly their best product. It is extremely difficult to create a cream or gel that walks that fine between making you too numb so that is wrecks sex, and giving you the right amount that makes you a little desensitized so that you can last longer and still enjoy sex, while also not alerting your lover that you have a bunch of medicine goop on your penis. Joins Xantrin, Hightenz, and Zyrexin cream as the only lotions that actually work.
Ingredients:
Propylene Glycol, Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate, Isopropyl Myristate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Stearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Menthol, Xanthan Gum, Arginine, Lactic Acid, Niacin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Laureth-3, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, Hexapeptide-17, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea.
Many men have reported delaying their premature ejaculation by minutes with Vivaxa. Their website might be filled with a bunch of hype, but the product is good and the hype is not that far off. You can expect a little puffery and exaggeration from most marketers, but Vivaxa is a product that works. Sold in many retailer drug stores and Target stores nationwide for about $25 for 2 ounces. Good Product that can help you last a little longer.
Xantho Rx - Pronounced Zan-Tho, is this brilliantly designed product works well at increasing the size and fullness of erections and improving sexual pleasure and function. It scored very well in all forms of analysis we subjected it to. An analysis of the ingredients of these pills makes it instantly apparent why many men like it. The key ingredient is Xanthoparmelia Scabrosa (Xantho) – thus the basis for the name " Xantho Rx". It uses their own extracted, high potency extract form of Xantho. It also features a very high level of L-Arginine HCL, yohimbe at an 8% alkaloid level, and not just one but two different forms of Cnidium Monnier – the active coumarin Oosthole" and a proprietary extracted form of Cnidium Monnier seed. The combination stimulates the release of massive amounts of nitric oxide in nerve endings and cells inside the penis. Very impressive because the formula also inhibits the enzyme PDE 5- the erection killing enzyme as it's known – with greater precision resulting in greater expansion and size of the penis.
This capsulated formula also addresses pleasure, something often overlooked by others. It heightens nerves endings sensitivity thus magnifying the pleasure one experiences during intercourse and orgasm. This feature alone makes it worthwhile and intensifies sex. There is no question Xantho Rx was engineered upon cutting-edge scientific and clinical data which has resulted in it being one of the top 5 products in this category. Not quite as powerful as Longinexx and a few of the other, but still well engineered.
Comapany studies show men experience best results when on the Xantho Rx program for three months. A very high percentage of survey responses also note much harder erections with these pills. At the end of the day, all of the ingredients put together have a cascading positive effect on male sexual enhancement. It is a must try product that will have a significant impact on the size of your erections and dramatically improve your sex life and make you very, very happy. Well done. XanthoRx is available at www.xanthorx.com
Xantrin - If you prefer to use a cream or gel to help you last longer, then Xantrin is our selection as the top cream on the market. Keep in mind we still believe the strongest science and the best results in the long run are achieved with pills that affect the serotonin levels in your body, but some creams and gels can make you last longer and can make sex better – no question. And as mention at the top of the charts for making you last longer is Xantrin. It is an odorless cream that does a perfect job of slightly desensitizing the extremely sensitive areas of your penis, while not making you numb.
That is the trick scientists and product developers must content with – how to not make your penis too numb. Xantrin seems to have found the answer with a process they call "Neurotransmitter Signaling Delivery System." NSDS is some fancy scientific mumbo-jumbo that basically means the cream goes to the areas that are the most sensitive in different amounts than it does to areas of the penis that are less sensitive. How exactly it works isn't really that important – the key thing is that it actually works! Out of the 40 or so creams that we have tested only a handful actually provide any benefit; Xantrin does more, much more.
Now that Dapoxetine, the premature ejaculation pill from Johnson & Johnson has been approved for sale in many European countries, the science that leads to its success has been published. As a result of the previously secret scientific research now being made public as the drug is approved for sale, scientists not involved in its development now can see the research. These competing scientists and competing companies are able to copy much of the research and use it to tweak product they had been developing, or to create entirely new products that can also provide the same benefit. In the area of creams the most studied cream is one out of Asia called SS Cream. While some of the research has been leaked, the cream is not yet available. Industry insiders are telling us that the makers of Xantrin, may have copied the SS Cream formula and have actually brought it market quicker than SS Cream, which is supposed to be a blockbuster. However they developed the product, and where they started their research (much scientific research is referenced on their website) is really not that important. All that matters from our standpoint is that it is safe and works great.
Many men have reported lasting 5 to 7 times longer on their very first use of Xantrin. It's actually extremely exciting if you are used to last under a minute to suddenly be banging your partner for over 7 minutes! It can make all the difference in the world. Manufactured by Dartford Kent Labs, this product is sold over the Internet and in Adult bookstores across the country. Normally a 4-ounce bottle goes for around $39 to $49 depending on where you get it. At the end of the day if you want the immediate result that only a topical solution can provide, Xantrin is the most outstanding product on the market.
Xantrin is available at their website www.Xantrin.com or by calling them directly at 1-800-798-1436.
