This formulation may contain some of the following ingredients: Dong Quai, Fo-Ti, Schisandra, Chinese Knotweed, Panax Ginseng and Epimedium Brevicornium.

We are pleased to see that this formulation includes the ingredients Epimedium and Panax Ginseng, which are known to be two of the most powerful herbal sexual enhancement components available. These ingredients are said to enhance blood flow to the penis and promote sexual endurance. However, we are alarmed to see that this formulation also contains Schisandra, a plant extract that is said to mimic Estrogen in the body. We have some serious reservations about introducing an Estrogen-mimetic into the male body.

In addition, the ingredient Dong Quai, which is touted as the “female Ginseng,” has been called into question by the scientific community. According to one expert, “There is little human evidence supporting the effects of Dong Quai for any condition.” It appears as though this formulation contains many such ingredients for which there is very little scientific evidence. We would have much preferred to see the inclusion of proven sexual enhancement components, such as Yohimbe, Tribulus Terrestris and Damiana.

We believe that some of the better ingredients in this formulation could potentially enhance sexual function. However, we feel that some of the weaker ones, particularly the estrogen-mimicking Schisandra, could actually detract from male performance. We generally feel that the better sexual supplements are gender-specific, addressing the unique needs of the individual sexes. We are additionally concerned that this product does not appear to come with a money-back guarantee. The return policy we find states that opened bottles of product are not accepted for return. We believe that the truly confident manufacturers invite individuals to return their products after they have tried them. Finally, we feel that the manner of consumption for this product – mixing it with drinks three times daily – may become tiresome to some people.

• Contains Panax Ginseng
• Includes Epimedium
• May be mixed with beverages

• Schisandra may have estrogenic effects
• Dong Quai is not proven to be effective as of review
• Product does not appear to come with a money-back guarantee
• Some people may find “drink mix” regimen to be tedious

While this product may have some promising aspects, it also appears to have some rather unseemly effects. In addition, we would have preferred to hear more detail about how this product works, other than moistening the vagina and darkening the hair.

We believe that targeted sexual supplements with the most specific mechanisms of action generally do the best job. For men, we have heard of great results with the ingredients Yohimbe, Damiana, Epimedium and Tribulus Terrestris.
