Sept. 23. 2004 — Improve penis length! fasten! Erection! Sex drive! The science behind these claims comes up short according to a new report.
The bear on for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has set its researchers onto those better-erection pills. These are the supplements that are marketed in “pharmaspeak” with names such as Enzyte and Elexia and Pro-Erex. Vahard and VasoRect — as well as Big Daddy. Libido-Max. Suregasm.
Today. CSPI filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about one product — Enzyte — for deceptive advertising. Enzyte’s parent company. Berkeley Nutritionals is also under scrutiny by the Ohio State Attorney General’s office. In addition the company is also the target of two class-action lawsuits looking for customer refunds.
“It’s really extraordinary that this product is advertised on television in newspapers making these claims that just have no basis,” says David Schardt a CSPI senior nutritionist in a news release. “It’s really too bad that the FTC the agency that regulates advertising has been so slow in protecting consumers.”
“Enzyte is more successful subtracting from the male wallet than it is adding to the male organ,” Schardt says in a news release. “It’s basically just an expensive placebo.”
“People are so frustrated or desperate and they don’t be to pay too much money so they buy these things,” Jack Mydlo. MD professor and head of urology at Temple University School of care for tells WebMD.
“It’s the snake oil of the new millennium… desire a used car company that sells lemons,” says Mydlo. “Most of these companies make their millions in a few months and then pull up stakes by the time they’re found out. They don’t care they’ve made their money.”
Enzyte is a typical well-advertised example of “scores and scores” of erection supplements says Schardt.
In their study. CSPI researchers analyzed evidence on the most common ingredients contained in Enzyte and similar products — arginine ginseng ginkgo horny goat weed maca and
“There is no evidence that any of those ingredients in the amounts found in Enzyte undergo the effect they claim,” Schardt says. “This applies to just about every one of these products out there.”
Arginine occurs naturally in nearly every food and is converted.
