| Viriya Review Summary ------------------------------------------------------ Viriya is male sexuality formula which was engineered to assist men who are having erectile issues achieve a far better level of sexual performance, and have harder, longer lasting erections. It uses an herbally based formula to combat the modern day stressors that this developer says may lower an individual’s sex drive. Aging is also said to play a role in lowered virility in men, because as we age, our testosterone production starts to ebb. This is important, because testosterone drives male sexuality. Viriya is suggested to combat all of the issues that negatively impact male sexuality, so let’s taka a look at its formulary to see what it may have to offer. Ingredients at a Glance ------------------------------------------------------ Viriya’s developer says that it uses many harmonizing and tonifying herbal extracts, but the only one disclosed at this time is Tongkat Ali, which is also known as Eurycoma Longifolia. The fact that only one extract is disclosed makes us wonder if it may be the only sexuality enhancer used in this formula. The fact that this developer suggests that tonifying and harmonizing extracts are used does not necessarily ensure they are sexuality enhancers. Ingredients in Focus ------------------------------------------------------ Part of the mythology of Viriya is that its name is derived from “a word from the ancient spiritual language of PALI”, which is used to “express the essence of energy, determination and vitality, manliness and perfection”. While this mythology is colorful, we believe it is the essence of a product’s formulary which ensures its success. As noted above, Tongkat Ali, or Eurycoma Longifolia, is the only element disclosed for this formulary as of review. It is actually found in many formulas these days that are geared toward addressing male sexuality and building muscle mass. This is because it has been alleged to have some testosterone-enhancing properties. As noted above, testosterone is believed to play a vital role in male sexual function, as well as muscle development, bone health, hair growth and mood. In South East Asia, Tongkat Ali has traditionally been used as an antimalarial, antipyretic, antiulcer and cytotoxic, as well as an aphrodisiac. We have no qualm with its aphrodisiac abilities, but its testosterone producing abilities remain in question at this time. In some animal-based studies, it has been shown to enhance their sexual characteristics and performance, but the same results have not been proven to be in play with humans. Sexual Lifestyle ------------------------------------------------------ However, there are herbal extracts that have testosterone enhancing properties which have been proven by science. For instance, Tribulus Terrestris has been shown in clinical studies to increase the body’s production of the luteinizing hormone (LH), which is responsible for letting the body know it needs to produce more testosterone, thereby augmenting virility, sex drive and potency. In one study, it was shown to increase the LH levels in men with ED, which significantly increased their testosterone levels and sexual performance. Positives ------------------------------------------------------ •Quite expensive when compared with other male sexuality enhancers Negatives ------------------------------------------------------ •Does not disclose its entire formula at time of review •Does not contain Tribulus Terrestris •Currently no research posted Final Thoughts ------------------------------------------------------ Viriya is advertised as being a cost effective “alternative to Viagra”, so we had to ask ourselves if this is true. In reality, we could not find any similarities between Viriya and Viagra® in terms of increasing a person’s sexual performance or pleasure. Also, Tongkat Ali, the main ingredient in Viriya, has not been shown to increase erectile performance, regardless of what this developer would have us believe. In fact, it may not increase vasodilatation the penis, nor may it increase cGMP levels, both of which are augmented by many pharmaceutical-grade medications. The one herbal extract that we know of that will do this is Yohimbe, which is not used in this formula. There are formulas currently available that include this all-natural ingredient, which is backed by clinical research. Original Article Reference: | |
