Erector XL

Erector XL contains a blend of vitamins, amino acids and herbal extracts. These include the B vitamin riboflavin to support various cell functions, Tribulus Terrestris to help increase testosterone levels, DHEA to enhance memory and Chrysin, which may inhibit estrogen production. The amino acid L-Arginine is believed to increase nitric oxide levels and is often used in male health products.

Tribulus Terrestris is a potent plant extract thought to improve and restore libido, prolong the duration of an erection and support overall reproductive health in men. Use of this herb has been clinically shown to increase testosterone levels, and it is often included in formulas designed to address symptoms of erectile dysfunction.

L-Arginine is often included in male enhancement formulas for helping to increase nitric oxide production, which is necessary for erections to occur.

DHEA is the most abundant steroid in the bloodstream, mainly produced by the adrenal glands. It is the biochemical building block of other hormones, and has been used to support the immune system, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis and anti-aging symptoms. However, taking DHEA supplements could cause the prostate to enlarge and could potentially stimulate the growth of tumors on the prostate for some individuals.

As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline. This decrease in production could begin as young as age 25 and may decline by 10% every decade. While all men are affected differently, this depletion could be responsible for a loss of energy and decrease in muscle mass; it has also been linked to symptoms of impotency, so using a product such as this may help increase sex drive as well. While the inclusion of such extracts as Tribulus and Chrysin can address the problem, the overall blend might not be strong enough.

The herb Yohimbe is often included in male enhancement formulas for its powerful effect on addressing symptoms of impotency. Yohimbe, extracted from the bark of a tree native to Africa, has been used as an aphrodisiac traditionally and has been shown to effectively increase blood flow to the penis. This has an impact on the strength of the erection, so for men who wish to improve sexual performance, supplements that contain this extract may be more effective.

Use of a product like Erector XL may be an appealing alternative for men seeking an herbal remedy for addressing symptoms of erectile dysfunction who are opposed to swallowing pills. Letting a tablet dissolve in water and then drinking it may be preferable for some, although, the taste of the product is not described.

In fact, very little information on this product is given – we have seen no customer testimonials, no medical research and no specific instructions for how the product should be used. It is not clear if the product should be used daily, or strictly before engaging in physical activity. We feel this information is important for consumers to have before making a purchase.

While it contains many herbs and the amino acid L-Arginine to increase nitric oxide levels, it does not contain the herbal extract Yohimbe. As discussed, Yohimbe has been shown to be effective in increasing penile blood flow, greatly enhancing the firmness of the erection. Yohimbe also increases stamina, allowing for a greater staying power. The extract is also used by athletes for the energy it provides. For men concerned with symptoms of impotency or feel their erections have become somewhat weak, products that contain this potent herb will be most beneficial.
