N-Control

As mentioned, the formula for N-Control consists of herbal extracts. N-Control contains Cnidium Monnier to help increase nitric oxide levels for a prolonged erection, Eurycoma Longifolia to increase sex drive, Xanthoparmelia Scabrosa to help relax the muscle tissues and promote blood flow.

No other ingredients are listed, and since the label information is not provided, it is assumed that these are the active, if not the only, herbal ingredients in N-Control.

Eurycoma Longifolia, also called Tongkat Ali, is a tree native to Southeast Asia that has been used traditionally as an aphrodisiac and is thought to increase sex drive. It is also thought to fight fatigue and increase energy. Many products that contain this herb boast that it can raise testosterone levels by over 400%, but no human studies support this. Side effects associated with use of this extract are restlessness and insomnia.

Cnidium Monnier is extracted from plant native to China. Traditionally used to treat skin conditions, it is also thought to be a libido enhancer and may have antihistamine properties.

Xanthoparmelia Scabrosa is a lichen that grows in parts of Asia, Australia and South America. It is thought to have aphrodisiac properties and has been used in Chinese medicine for this purpose. However, research has found the lichen to contain toxins and it has been suggested to avoid use of products containing it.

Men all over the world suffer from symptoms of erectile dysfunction, and there is not a shortage of products claiming to be the best source of treatment. Many men may turn to herbal alternatives because they are generally less harmful and equally as effective as pharmaceutical drugs, plus may provide supportive elements as well.

Like others on the market, N-Control claims to be an alternative to Viagra, and is promoted as being able to achieve the exact same results. The formula for N-Control appears to have elements of aphrodisiacs and may help support testosterone production, but as far as herbal supplements go, it is lacking the most effective herbal extracts available.

For men concerned with increasing testosterone levels, the plant Tribulus Terrestris has been shown to significantly raise production of the essential male hormone in clinical studies. This helps increase energy, sex drive and can help boost confidence. For the most supportive form of enhancing sexual function, a product containing this herb over Eurycoma may be a wise choice.

• Claims to be all-natural
• Available for a discount through Web site

• Slightly expensive
• Xanthoparmelia Scabrosa contains toxins
• Exact label information not provided
• Eurycoma could cause insomnia for some

N-Control makes a lot of promises in its advertising that it does not appear able to deliver from an assessment of its sparse ingredients. Not only is it lacking some essential elements, the herbs it does contain are not the most effective.

The inclusion of the potentially toxic lichen Xanthoparmelia makes the product seem just as potentially harmful as a chemically created drug, and the side effects of Eurycoma make the decision to steer away from the product even easier. The product’s advertising goes on about how much safer an herbal product is, and yet it contains herbs that could possibly cause damage for some.

We feel that herbal alternatives are actually a wiser choice than pharmaceuticals, but it must be the right combination and the highest quality extracts. Potent aphrodisiacs that have been used for generations in the Amazon rainforests with no known side effects are available in a variety of supplements, and as discussed, the herb Tribulus has been shown to support healthy testosterone levels, and the only sleep lost is caused by increased sexual activity. For men who wish to enhance sexual performance in the most beneficial and satisfying way, products containing Tribulus and other top quality herbal extracts are the best choice.
