Penis Enlargement Pill FAQs
What's in penis
enlargement pills?
See the
chart below to find out what is in your preferred brand of pill.
Most pills contain ingredients which have long been used in Chinese herbal
medicine and homeopathic medicine to treat male sexual problems. A few also
contain vitamins and/or specific amino acids which are known to assist in
improving male sexual health.
Do penis enlargement
pills work?
Despite the more lurid of the claims to be found on penis pill sites,
enlargement pills are best viewed as "natural Viagra" or "Viagra alternatives",
rather than as a means of permanently increasing your penis size. The vaso-dilation
and testosterone - freeing properties of the various ingredients to be found in
the average penis pill will indeed offer a temporary increase in size and
hardness of your erection in a similar manner to that offered by Viagra and its
sister substances, but these pills will not of themselves offer a permanent
increase in size. To permanently enlarge your penis, you will need
to use either a
penis exercise program (purchase of
ProSolution or
Volume Pills
also buys membership of the Penis Health program), or a
penis
enlargement device, also known as an extender, stretcher or traction device.
Unlike Viagra, enlargement pills have an ongoing effect on your sexual health,
and need to be taken daily in order to achieve best results.
Are penis enlargement
pills safe?
All of the pill brands listed below, with the exception of Magna-Rx, who
have not made their ingredients list available to the general public, contain
naturally occurring substances which appear on the FDA's GRAS ("generally
recognised as safe") list. This means that there is no ingredient which would be
deemed harmful by the FDA. In most cases, the ingredients used are plant-based
extracts which are used in homeopathic and chinese herbal medicine. As
such, they make an excellent alternative for use by those males who cannot, or
prefer not to use Viagra or Cialis because of pre-existing heart problems or the
associated side effects. However, as with any medication or supplement,
you should consult your medical practitioner before using herbal pills if you
suffer from a pre-existing medical condition. Known side effects for pills
ingredients are listed below. Most side effects are minor and temporary,
disappearing as you become accustomed to use.
You should avoid any pills which
contain the plant extract Yohimbe, as there is an increasing number of reports
linking its use to a range of serious
side effects.
You can double ensure the safety of the pills you
consume by limiting your purchase only to those brands which are manufactured in
cGMP certified facilities.
Has the FDA approved
any penis enlargement pills?
Since penis enlargement pills contain substances which are naturally
occurring, they are classified as "dietary supplements" and as such, do not fall
under the scrutiny of the FDA for approval or disapproval. However, the
substances in the pills listed below all appear on the FDA's GRAS list (see
above).
