| X-treme V for Natural Male Enhancement May 24, 2009 | |
| X-treme V Review Summary ------------------------------------------------------ X-treme V is advertised as being a natural approach to augmenting “male virility, vitality, and pleasure”. It uses a sublingual delivery system that is placed under the tongue 15 to 45 minutes prior to sexual activity. Some people really like this kind of delivery method, but at this time it has not been shown to be effective with all herbal extracts, which may limit a product’s overall effectiveness. It uses a wide variety of basic extracts, which the developer claims were selected to give “maximum sexual performance”. They also indicate that a “large amount of research has been carried out for each ingredient”, but we find this claim is made by many developers. We believe it is only through carefully reviewing a product’s formulary that we may ascertain its possible effectiveness. Ingredients at a Glance ------------------------------------------------------ X-treme V contains a proprietary blend consisting of some of the following elements: Androstenedione, Yohimbe Bark Extract, Panax Ginseng Extract, L-Phenylalanine and L-Arginine. Ingredients in Focus ------------------------------------------------------ X-treme V uses two potent sexuality enhancers – Yohimbe and Panax Ginseng Extract. Each of these extracts has a unique ability to augment different areas of sexuality, which is why they are often included in formulas that use a multi-level approach to sexuality. Yohimbe Bark Extract has been used worldwide to boost erectile functionality. The reason it is so effective is that it is an alkaloid monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor, which means that it may block adrenergic receptors. This mechanism dilates blood vessels in the body, but especially in the penis. In a review of a dozen scientific studies published in the Journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, Yohimbe was found to boost sexual performance and increase erection quality in terms of hardness and longevity. Panax Ginseng Extract has a long history of being used in a variety of holistic medical systems to increase the male libido. This ability has been borne out by modern research, which shows that it stimulates the central nervous system. It also contains phytochemicals, which may ease erectile fatigue and increase sexual stamina. It also contains ginsenoside, an element which may enhance the effects of nitric oxide, in order to enable the artery walls to relax and let more blood in, thereby increasing erection hardness. Sexual Lifestyle ------------------------------------------------------ The one concern we have about this formula is its use of Androstenedione, which is a common precursor of male and female sex hormones. Androstenedione was used in a supplement called Andro, which was banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, and hence from the Olympic Games. Andro was subsequently deemed a controlled substance in the U.S. by the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004. We find it odd that Androstenedione is used in this supplement. We feel we can’t suggest using it due to its propensity for side effects, which includes acne, hair loss, facial hair growth in women, aggressiveness and irritability. Also, men have been known to develop enlarged breasts due to its ability to increase estrogen levels. However, its most concerning side effect may be that it has also been shown to potentially boost the risk of certain types of cancer. Positives ------------------------------------------------------ •Contains Yohimbe and Panax Ginseng Extract Negatives ------------------------------------------------------ •Contains Yohimbe and Panax Ginseng Extract Final Thoughts ------------------------------------------------------ We feel we may not suggest using X-treme V, due to the fact that it contains Androstenedione, which may have some really serious side effects, such as breast enlargement in men and an increased risk of cancer. In reality, we see little need to use Androstenedione when there are other potent, yet safe, extracts available. For instance, Tribulus Terrestris is a potent testosterone booster, which studies show may increase sex drive, virility and libido. It increases testosterone by increasing luteinizing hormone, which lets the body know it should naturally increase testosterone production. It has been so effective that in clinical studies, it has been shown to increase sexual endurance by 75%, and libido and sexual performance by 80%. Original Article Reference: | |
