| Herbal Ignite for Natural Male Enhancement January 23, 2010 | |
| Herbal Ignite Review Summary ------------------------------------------------------ Herbal Ignite is a sexual enhancement product designed to “boost natural virility and promote a better sex life and sense of well being in men and women.” This herbal supplement claims to “increase testosterone naturally, restore natural virility and energy, and reduce that tired, stressed out-feeling.” We are unclear as to precisely why a woman would desire to “increase testosterone,” or “boost virility.” Although this product claims to be suitable for both men and women, we cannot help but feel that its mechanism caters more to male needs. In addition, we feel that this product’s ingredient list is somewhat incomplete, despite the inclusion of a few quality components. We will review this product for its ability to equally enhance the sexual experience for both genders. Ingredients at a Glance ------------------------------------------------------ This formulation may contain some of the following ingredients: Tribulus Terrestris, Avena Sativa and Horny Goat Weed. Ingredients in Focus ------------------------------------------------------ Tribulus Terrestris is reputed to be one of the more effective sexual enhancement ingredients currently available. This herbal component is known to naturally enhance testosterone and increase potency. While both of these effects would certainly be of benefit to most men, we wonder how they may be useful to women. The ingredient, Avena Sativa, which is the scientific name for oats, is not proven as a sexual enhancer at this time, despite its historic use for this purpose. One expert states, “Avena sativa has been used medicinally since the Middle Ages, yet I have not come across any reference to any aphrodisiac benefit that has ever been noted or documented in several hundred years of use.” We also would have preferred to see some other, more targeted ingredients that are known to enhance male sexuality, such as Yohimbe, Panax Ginseng and Damiana. We wonder if perhaps these ingredients have been excluded due to their male-specific sexual mechanisms. If this is the case, we feel that this product ultimately dilutes and compromises its potential by attempting to cater to both genders. Sexual Health ------------------------------------------------------ We are concerned with the sexual and health impacts of testosterone-promoting ingredients on women. Because it is a predominantly male sex hormone, too much testosterone in women may lead to side effects such as acne, hair growth and irregular menstrual cycles for some. It has also been reported that too much testosterone may make women “irritable.” It is our belief that perhaps women would benefit more from a sexual enhancement product that is tailored specifically to women and their unique physical needs. Positives ------------------------------------------------------ • Contains Tribulus Terrestris • Claims to be appropriate for both men and women • Oats are generally considered healthy Negatives ------------------------------------------------------ • Testosterone increases may not be desirable to women • Oats are not a proven sexual enhancement ingredient at this time • Does not contain Yohimbe • Website does not include testimonials as of review Final Thoughts ------------------------------------------------------ We feel that ultimately, in trying to “please everyone” with its unisex formula, this manufacturer has devised a product that is not maximized for either gender. We have seen much more targeted, potent gender-specific formulations that are designed with unique hormonal needs in mind. For men, we have heard very positive data regarding supplements containing ingredients like Yohimbe, Panax Ginseng and Damiana. These ingredients are known to increase penile blood flow, enhance turgidity of erections and promote sexual stamina and endurance. We would encourage individuals to seek out products whose manufacturers provide consumer testimonials. We feel honest reviews by other satisfied customers generally provide excellent guidance and information. We would also emphasize the importance of purchasing products with a money-back guarantee.
