The common questions that came up whilst researching our extenze reviews
This is perhaps the best and the worst part of our extenze review. As we've mentioned they actually get a lot of the ingredients right, they've just managed to under dose everything so much that they're all completely and utterly ineffective.
Yohimbe - Not a great ingredient, Yohimbe has only really been shown to work in animal studies, this isn't replicated in humans and it has a number of side effects, including high blood pressure, rapid heard beat, and stomach problems [5] meaning this could be the cause of any extenze side effects.
DHEA - A lot of debunking studies for it's use in men, does actually seem to help post menopausal women though. But, that's not really helpful here. [6].
GABA - GABA is fine, but under dosed [7].Niacin - Vitamin B3 is fine, nothing to see here.
Velvet Bean - A totally fine inclusion, but again it's not possible that this supplement could contain an appropriate dose. [8] It's also not something that we'd put into an ideal enhancement pill. But, not a fail either.
Tonkat Ali - So there's a lot of good here, the problem once again is the dosage, it needs to be at least 200mg [9] But, it can help reduce stress (the leading cause of ED) as well as raising testosterone levels.
Tribulus Extract - Tribulus is good for libido in both men and women, and seems to have some benefits to treat ED symptoms and sexual dysfunction specifically [10]. It's a good ingredient, but all the studies show it as needing doses of 400mg. More than the entire Extenze supplement.
Damiania - Fine, but also under dosed (not the best studied, but not a terrible inclusion).
Panax Ginseng - Great ingredient as we've already mentioned the problem is that extenze pills can't possibly contain enough for it to function.
Folic Acid - Another B vitamin, deficiency can cause problems, but it's incredibly rare, it will have some benefit, and it's likely to actually be in the correct dosage as that's relatively small, but a vitamin b pill or most energy drinks and pre workouts contain these B vitamins.
L- Arginine - Some evidence it can boost testosterone levels, and help raise libido, fine inclusion too low dosages again...
Muira Puama - Shown to heighten sexual stimuli, which will of course increase satisfaction and reduce the risk of you dropping off half way through. But, and we're getting sick of typing this the dosage is only a fraction of what is needed to be effective. [11]
Chrysin - A decent amount of research to show it helps improve blood flow to the penis. Whilst blood flow isn't usually the main issue that we're looking for in sexual function supplements, it is still an important one. But, you guessed it, there isn't enough of it in extenze. [12]
It also misses out on Maca and a few of the better ingredients for improving sexual function, but seeing as nothing on here is in a high enough dosage it seems pointless to pick Extenze apart much further.
