When I went to check the mail last week down at our clubhouse, as soon as I opened up the mailbox this fell out.
Normally I just throw these letters away, but since no one was around I decided to open it up and take a look.
The letter read like a cross between a porn site and a sales letter for a sex magazine.
It had pics of huge d#$ks, hot women getting nailed in the rear, and of course it wouldn’t be complete without a doctor standing in a white coat with his arms crossed and a stethoscope over his shoulder.
Apparently there’s been a revolutionary breakthrough in male enhancement technology, one that will make you stiffer, harder, thicker, and wider, INSTANTLY.
The name of this product is none other than Evoxa.
So does this shit really work, or is it all just B.S.
Well you’re about to find out, read our comprehensive review below:
What is Evoxa Male Enhancement?
According to the pamphlet that I’m reading, Evoxa is the European secret to turning every man, age 18 – 108, into a chick magnet.
You see, girls don’t care about things like money, cars, flashy jewelry, or a big house.
They crave one thing and one thing only, a BIG c#$k.
At least that’s what they’re telling me here.
I can tell you from my 36 years of experience dating women that there is some truth to that.
The apparent benefits of Evoxa are vast, and include:
A bigger penis in just days
Up to 3+ inches wider
Stamina to go all night
STIFF as a board
Reload in minutes
Immediate and Long-Term results
That last part intrigued me…
Were they saying that this was a “cure” for ED?
Am I going to get permanent size gains from taking Evoxa?
Lots of unanswered questions here, let’s keep reading the pamphlet.
Who is Pierre LeFleur?
There’s a lot of mentions of a guy named Pierre LeFleur, who is the guy dressed up in the doctors costume.
However, when I did a little digging, unfortunately it’s a bit of a mystery. I tried several google searches trying to find out who this Pierre LeFleur guy is, and came up short.
When I tried searching his name straight up, Google kept asking me if I meant to search for “Pierre LaFleur”.
I also tried searching “Pierre LeFleur Evoxa labs” and “Pierre LeFleur executive health director evoxa labs” and came up short as well.
So who is this “Pierre LeFleur”, and why is he so special.
Well, they cite him several times throughout the pamphlet.
While they don’t address him as a “Dr.”, they sure allude to the fact that he is with that white lab coat he’s wearing.
Something was strange about this photo. It looked, familiar….
I did a little digging, and with absolutely no surprise at all, this supposed “dr.” is simply a stock photo.
My guess is this “Pierre LeFleur” doesn’t really exist, they just made it up to add credibility to Evoxa.
What about the reviews?
I searched far and wide for credible Evoxa reviews online, but unfortunately came up short.
There are literally 2 websites talking about it, and to be honest I wouldn’t trust a thing either one of them say.
The first one doesn’t even talk about Evoxa, it actually just redirects to a totally different supplement.
The second one, let’s just say has about as much credibility as your average cable news network.
Really the only reviews we could find for this supplement were on the back page of the pamphlet, and they read like this:
“It’s amazing. Here I am, an ordinary guy suddenly transformed into a sexual dynamo.
The first week I tried Evoxa male enhancement, I had a different girl in the sack every night. Not bad for a 59-year old, huh?” B.T., Austin, Texas
“Who wants to slow down in the bedroom? But, like most guys, you do or you soon will! This stuff not only stops you from slowing down, it makes you the biggest guy on the block! Thanks Evoxa!” D.W.
Tacoma, Washington
“I’ve suffered from soft erections for most of my life. I tried just about every male potency product there ever was and they were all rip-offs. Nothing worked. Then, my friend suggested that I give Evoxa male enhancement a try. In just a few days, it completely changed my life. I have big hard erections now and the ladies are loving it.” T.A. Las Vegas, Nevada
“When you’re married as long as me (57 years), sex is a once in a while kind of thing. Evoxa changed all that. My wife and I made love like it was the first time! Last night, we climaxed SEVEN times! We’re both in a state of shock, but nobody’s complaining! W.P Buffalo, New York
Most of these reviews just talk about how well their performance went up, but one guy noted a MASSIVE increase in size.
From the pamphlet:
Title: A Soft 5″ to A Rock Hard 11.5″
“This stuff is like nitroglycerine for your penis. A few days after trying Evoxa it was like an explosion in my groin. My penis just erupted. I couldn’t believe it! I had this swagger about me that no woman could resist. I’ve had more sex in the last 6 months than in the last 20 years. Thanks LeFleur, you’re a genius!”
T.S.
Dayton, Ohio.
Of course, there’s really no WAY to independently verify the authenticity of these reviews, but that’s all we have at this time.
Frequently Asked Questions (as reported by them)
What Makes Evoxa Male Enhancement Different?
The simple answer, according to them, is that it just works. They correctly note that there are a TON of very UN-satisfying products on the market that by and large don’t work.
I know this, because I’ve tested a good percentage of them.
Will it grow your penis? And if so, by how much?
This is a direct quote from the brochure:
Every man has a limit of how big he can be. Evoxa increases penis size at LEAST 6″. But some men may grow 6.5″ or even 7″ bigger. However big you end up, be assured that Evoxa is completely safe.”
Those are some pretty bold claims, and certainly not the first time I’ve heard them.
In my personal experience testing these supplements out, 100% of them that claim any sort of size gain don’t deliver.
At least on their own.
However, you do have some options (more on that later).
Where To Buy
As of this review, the only place I’m seeing this for sale is via mail order form or over the phone.
How much should you buy?
Well, that all depends on how big you want to get? (according to them at least)
If you want a 3 inch growth, but one trial for $34.95 +$8.95 S&H.
If you want a 6-inch growth, buy a 21-day course for $99.55.
If you want more than 6 inches, buy a 28-day course for the low price of only $119.55.
If you want a 15-inch penis, buy a year supply for only….well, you get the point.
They essentially allude to the point that, the more Evoxa male enhancement you take, the bigger you’ll get.
It’s literally that simple. (or is it?)
Conclusion / Recommendation
Don’t buy into the hype, fellas.
It’s all complete and utter non-sense.
I’ve been testing these supplements for close to 10 years now, and not ONE of them that claimed size gains ended up living up to their promises.
If you’re looking for TRUE size gains, you have a few options:
#1: Use a water based pump called the Bathmate. I have a VERY extensive review on it, check it out here.
#2: Use an extender device called the Phallosan Forte. I’ve used about a dozen extenders over the years, and the Phallosan was by FAR the most comfortable (and effective).
#: Perform penis enlargement exercises with your hands. I’ve been doing PE exercises for years now, and I can tell you from experience that they REALLY do work.
You just need to be committed to doing them.
If you are just looking for something to help you in the sack, I would recommend you use either a supplement called Vigrx Plus, or a pill called Hardon Helper.
They are 2 of the most EFFECTIVE supplements I’ve ever used, and I’ve used a lot.
I won’t get into the nitty gritty details about each of them here, but you can check out my reviews for a more in depth report.
Kratom, a substance originating from a plant that’s found in Thailand and southeast Asia, has moved into the national spotlight in the United States as well as Europe.
As an increasing number of people see the benefits it can have in their life, they also wonder if there are potentially negative side effects stemming from its use.
The Kratom Debate
There are a few big reasons kratom is being discussed so much right now, despite the fact that the people where it grows natively have used it for thousands of years.
First, its legal status is being hotly debated in the U.S. and Europe, and the DEA has gone back and forth quite a bit recently.
Initially, in 2016, the DEA backed off their plans to change the legal status of Kratom.
At the end of 2017, the FDA stepped in and said they would be working on the legal status of the herbal supplement because of what they described as its risks, including the potential for abuse and addiction.
However, proponents of the herbal supplement say it is safe and is also an excellent treatment for conditions ranging from chronic pain to depression.
It’s also an especially relevant conversation right now because of the opioid epidemic that’s sweeping the U.S.
Opioids, which are a class of drugs that include heroin and prescription pain relievers, have led to a surge in overdose deaths in communities throughout America, and it’s proving to be a nearly impossible battle to win.
Kratom has shown some promise for many people as a way to stop using opioids, and to help with opioid withdrawal symptoms.
It’s also been shown as a VERY effective alternative to benzodiazepines like Xanax, Ativan, and
Opponents of kratom say there’s no proof that it’s safe, and admittedly scientific research is limited, but antidotally, kratom does seem to have benefits for people who use it, with a relatively low risk profile.
One particular area people have concerns about with the use of kratom are testosterone levels.
Men in especially question if kratom has the potential to reduce testosterone and trigger the accompanying side effects of having low T levels.
How Does Kratom Work?
Kratom is often wrongly identified as an opioid, which it’s not in the technical sense.
When someone uses opioids, whether its heroin or a prescription painkiller, the drug crosses the blood-brain barrier where it binds to certain opioid receptors.
As a result of this, the person using the drug has reduced levels of pain, but the functionality of their central nervous system also slows as a result.
This can lead to drowsiness, and it can also cause respiratory depression.
This depression of the CNS and the respiratory system is what leads to overdoses and deaths related to the use of opioids.
While kratom does activate some of the same opioid receptors as opioids, it doesn’t trigger respiratory depression, which is one of the most severe and often deadly side effects of opioid use.
Kratom affects not just the opioid receptors but also serotonin, which is why it can have an uplifting effect on the mood of the user.
Kratom is also unique because its effects vary depending on the dose a person takes.
At low-to-moderate doses, which usually range from one to five grams, the effects are stimulant-like.
In fact, low doses of kratom have been traditionally used in Southeast Asia as a way for workers to stay awake and alert for longer periods of time.
At doses considered moderate to high, people tend to see more of the effects similar to opioids, such as relaxation, a reduction of anxiety, and a sense of euphoria.
At very high doses, which is typically more than 15 grams, people may experience sedation, also similar to using high doses of opioids, without respiratory depression.
Opioids and Testosterone
It’s not uncommon to incorrectly classify kratom as an opioid, because of its opioid-like effects.
That’s likely one of the primary reasons there is an assumed link between kratom and low testosterone levels in men.
Testosterone is produced in the adrenal glands and testes in men, and in the ovaries in women. Testosterone is responsible for helping people have a healthy libido, maintain their muscle mass, and for the maintenance of energy levels.

There is documented research about the effects of opioids, particularly their long-term use, and low testosterone.
Testosterone is produced through various activities of the body’s endocrine system, and having altered levels of testosterone can lead to sexual dysfunction and loss of sex drive, and also have effects on muscle mass, aggression, and stress.
One research study found that testosterone suppression was present in nearly half of men using opioids who participated.
There was no distinction between different types of opioids for this particular study.
Results like these are believed to be linked to the ways chronic opioid use interrupts the normal functioning of the endocrine system.
Specifically chronic opioid use suppresses GnRH, indirectly reducing testosterone production.
This leaves people wondering, is this effect the same with the use of kratom?
Kratom and Testosterone
There is a lot of discussion online by people who want to know the effects of kratom, including its potential impact on testosterone.
There’s pretty limited scientific research on the topic, which is likely why it’s discussed on forums in order to see what other people’s experiences are.
For example, on a thread on Reddit relating to kratom and testosterone, some people say that they’ve heard kratom reduces testosterone, and as a result, they believe it also lowers libido and the ability to build muscle mass.
There seems to be mixed information if you’re looking at antidotal reports about kratom and testosterone.
For some people, they believe that kratom may have lowered their testosterone at least somewhat, but for others, the feeling is that it had the opposite effect and while they might not have a specific measure of their testosterone levels, they do feel they have an increased libido since they started using it.
Others report that when they initially started using kratom, it did have a diminishing effect on their libido, but that over time that effect was diminished and they felt like they returned to normal.
In other discussions of the topic, people report perceiving varying effects based on not just different dosages of kratom, but on different strains, as well as initially having libido problems when using kratom, but then finding that the side effect dissipated once they cut down on their dosage or changed the strain.
What’s so difficult when you’re relying purely on antidotal evidence as to the effects of an herbal supplement, there’s no way to determine what’s really responsible for the effects a person is experiencing.
For example, if someone takes kratom and feels their libido is lower than normal it could be related to so many other factors in their life.
It’s also interesting to note that historically kratom was used by the people of Southeast Asia not just as a way to stay awake for longer, but also as a sexual stimulant, particularly at lower doses.
Differences in Kratom Strains
Borneo, Bali, Indo and Maeng Da are all strains that users feel have positive effects regarding pain relief, and these are also strains frequently used to alleviate the symptoms of opiate withdrawal.
For psychological effects, such as the relief of symptoms related to depression and anxiety people often opt for Green Malaysian, Thai or Maeng Da strains.
Green Malaysian and Thai strains have anecdotally been helpful for improving cognition including energy and focus.
For stimulating effects, usually Thai variations with white and green veins are preferred.
The red vein Borneo strain, on the other hand, is believed to be most potent as a pain reliever, and also as a sedative.
So what can be derived from all of this information?
Does kratom have a negative effect on testosterone?
There are a few things to consider.
At high doses, since kratom does tend to act much like an opioid, what could be happening for people who feel like they’re experiencing low libido is that they’re actually just having lower overall levels of physiological arousal.
This would likely be a temporary side effect of using kratom, and the higher the dose, the more its sedative effects and the more likely you are to have a lower sense of overall arousal, not just as it relates to libido and sex drive, but to all areas of functionality.
You’re probably also more likely to have this side effect occur not just with high doses, but with strains like Borneo.
There is also some research showing that any substance that’s opioid-like in that it acts on certain opioid receptors can change something called gonadal function, which can then lead to lower levels of testosterone production.
For people who feel like they could be experiencing these side effects, changing the strains of kratom they use or lowering their dose is often adequate to reduce these symptoms or eliminate them.
Pay attention to your body and what it’s telling you and be careful about not exceeding the recommended dose and taking as guided.
Summing Up—How Does Kratom Affect Testosterone?
It can seem like there are mixed ideas as to whether or not kratom can affect testosterone production, particularly in men.
This is because of the significant differences in individuals but also because of how the effects of kratom can vary based on the dosage and type.
There is also no scientific evidence available currently indicating that kratom affects testosterone.
At lower doses, since kratom acts as a stimulant, not only is it unlikely to affect testosterone levels, but it is also possible that it could increase libido and sex drive in people.
It could also indirectly affect libido, by making a person feel happier and more social because of how it affects certain brain chemicals like serotonin.
At higher doses kratom acts more as a sedative similar to an opioid, and while people may have lower libido and energy levels when they take it at high doses, it’s very unlikely that they’re actually experiencing a reduction in testosterone production.
Instead, what could lead to these effects is the fact that the kratom is depressing certain functions of the user, which is a temporary effect that will ultimately subside, especially if someone lowers the dose they’re taking or uses a different strain.
It should also be noted that the National Institute on Drug Abuse doesn’t name sexual dysfunction, reduced libido or lower testosterone production as possible side effects of kratom.
The NIH National Institute on Drug Abuse describes kratom as being used for its mood-lifting effects, for pain relief and even as an aphrodisiac.
There’s still a lot of research that needs to be done on kratom in a clinical setting in order to determine its specific effects based on controlled variables, although antidotally some people feel like it’s a miracle herbal supplement that can help alleviate mental and physical symptoms ranging from anxiety and depression to chronic pain.
It has many benefits that even its prescription strength and more dangerous counterparts do not have and is generally quite low risk.
The fact that kratom doesn’t appear to cause respiratory depression is leading many researchers to look at it as part of battling the deadly opioid epidemic, but the herbal supplement likely has promise beyond just helping reduce opioid usage, despite some regulatory pushback.
Necessary for both men and women, testosterone is a sex steroid hormone that is especially important in men’s health. It promotes fat burning, supports muscle building, ensures that libido is high, and keeps you happy, among a variety of other benefits.
Testosterone has become a hot button topic lately because more and more guys are being found to have a lot less of it.
Even the guys that do have healthy levels want more.
A dip in testosterone levels can come with age, periods of inactivity, certain medications, changes in diet, medical issues or even treatments for cancer and most of those reasons are treatable and can be changed without too much change to your lifestyle.
The supplement industry has jumped on to the research for testosterone boosters, peddling a mix of both effective and unproven t-boosters.
One of the most famous testosterone boosters within the bodybuilding crowd is 6-OXO.
Can this compound skyrocket testosterone levels as many people claim?
Or is it just another hyped up snake oil?
What is 6-OXO?
Held to a very high standard among pros and amateurs alike, 6-OXO is considered one of the most effective testosterone boosters and aromatase inhibitors.
Placing it within a specific category is tricky for companies as some consider it a pro-hormone, others a testosterone booster, and even more an A.I. (aromatase inhibitor).
I’m of the mindset that because its supposed testosterone boosting effects come from the blocking of aromatase, which is the mechanism behind your testosterone being converted to estrogenic compounds, 6-OXO is best described as an A.I.
How Does 6-OXO Work?
4-Androstene-3,6,17-trione, commonly known as 6-OXO, has been the subject of studies since the 80s.
Back then, the focus was on its ability to bind to the aromatase enzyme and disable it from converting testosterone into estrogenic compounds, which had very important implications for men suffering from estrogen dominance.
Why is this important?
Testosterone vs. Aromatase
If you’re a man with low testosterone levels, you’re going to be experiencing a lot of negative symptoms including weight gain, muscle loss, depression, and man-boobs.
Low testosterone is a vicious cycle and one that’s hard to break out of.
Once your body increases the production of estrogen, your current levels of testosterone are more likely to continue to be converted into estrogen, pushing your t-levels further and further down. 6-OXO was thought to be an effective way to pull the plug on this conversion while promoting natural testosterone production.
Theoretically, the result would be testosterone levels that return to normal and aromatase that is permanently blocked from causing its mayhem. Sounds great, right?
What does science have to say about 6-OXO?
What Does Science Say about 6-OXO?
1. Increased Testosterone
A small-scale study involving 16 men had subjects supplementing with either 300 mg or 600 mg of 6-OXO for eight weeks.
During 5 blood samples, levels of the following were checked: total testosterone, free testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, estradiol, estriol, estrone, SHBG, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, growth hormone, cortisol, and FT/estradiol.
For many of these key variables, there wasn’t a big difference between the two groups; however, when it came to testosterone and DHT, this is where there was a dramatic difference.
Free testosterone levels had increased 90% for the 300 mg 6-OXO group and 84% for the 600 mg 6-OXO group.
As for DHT, which is a far more androgenic hormone than testosterone, levels increased 192% with 300 mg and 265% with 600 mg. (1)
A few important things to note about this study:
Body composition did not change in any of the subjects.
This may be due to the fact that the subjects were not taking part in a resistance training program.
I’ll talk more about the implications of the increase in testosterone and DHT below and how you can use this to your advantage.
Another important thing to note is that aromatase was not completely inhibited.
The implication here is twofold: First, while testosterone and DHT did increase significantly, there may be more room for improvement as the aromatase activity was not completely shut off.
The way to completely inhibit – if it’s possible at all – may be through manipulating the dosage level or length of the time you take the supplement but again, this is only speculation.
Secondly, since the aromatase action was not complete disabled, you may have to watch out for active conversion of the testosterone into estrogen. Supplements respond different for everyone and depending on the active aromatase in the body, testosterone gains may come and provide fuel for estrogen conversion.
I’d recommend getting your testosterone and estrogen levels tested regularly while going through your first cycle with this supplement to see how your body responds.
Since human studies are lacking, what follows is based on the implications of higher testosterone and DHT levels along with user reports.
As always, results may vary.
2. Increased Lean Muscle Mass
With a dramatic increase in free testosterone and DHT, your body will be supporting a highly anabolic environment, which may prompt muscle growth.
The catch is that you need to be using 6-OXO alongside a well-constructed workout program.
You can’t just take 6-OXO and assume you’re going to look like Arnold in eight weeks.
3. Anti-Catabolic
Higher levels of testosterone and DHT may be helpful to prevent protein breakdown or catabolism.
Since both are highly anabolic, lean muscle tissue may be safe especially if you are performing high intensity training, trying intermittent fasting, or both.
4. Increased Strength
One of the primary benefits that users report is the boost in strength levels during their workouts.
This makes complete sense as the anabolic environment that may be present while supplementing with 6-OXO may heighten recovery, which in turn will benefit muscle and strength.
Again, I cannot stress enough that you must be using this supplement as a part of a resistance training program.
How to Take 6-OXO
As demonstrated in the study, you can maximize the benefits by taking 300 mg of 6-OXO each day for one cycle of eight weeks.
Following the cycle, allow your body four weeks to recover.
Is 6-OXO Prohibited?
Absolutely.
While 6-OXO is readily available on a number of popular websites, it is not a supplement that is allowed in performance and sports-related competitions.
Ironically, the sport that it’s most popular with – bodybuilding – is also one that tests for it and will ban competitors who test positive.
Obviously, 6-OXO is easily detected in urine tests so be aware of this if you plan to use it.
You also won’t find 6-oxo for sale in any stores like GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Walgreens, Walmart, or CVS, so don’t even bother searching for it there.
Where To Buy
The most popular brands that you can obtain (online of course), would be:
Ergo Pharm 6 OXO
E-Control RX
Acheter 6-oxo
Side Effects of 6-OXO
The number one side effect of 6-OXO has to do with estrogen suppression. Seems like a good thing, right?
Not exactly.
Just because you’re a man doesn’t mean your body runs on only testosterone.
Estrogen, believe it or not, is just as important for your health as testosterone.
Since 6-OXO is an aromatase inhibitor, which blocks the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. If levels of estrogen get too low, the side effects will mimic that of low testosterone!
Symptoms of low estrogen include:
Fatigue
Mood swings
Low libido
Muscle loss
Fat gain
With that said, I must stress again that if you’re going to try 6-OXO, then you should get your testosterone and estrogen levels checked throughout the cycle.
Other common side effects from the increase of DHT while using 6-OXO include
Hair loss – You can remedy this by taking saw palmetto
Acne
Prostate issues – Again, saw palmetto will be helpful here
Highlighted Benefits of 6-OXO
Shown to promote the following:
Dramatic increase in testosterone
Boosts dihydrotestosterone (DHT)
May help to trigger the following benefits:
Protection from catabolism
Lean muscle mass growth
Increase in strength levels
Support for fat burning
Conclusion
6-OXO is a proven testosterone booster and estrogen blocker.
If you have confirmed low testosterone levels, then 6-OXO may be a great alternative to expensive medical treatments.
Be warned though, if you have healthy t-levels, taking 6-OXO may cause estrogen suppression, which produces the same side effects as low testosterone.
Have you used 6-OXO (4-AT)?

You might have heard the rumors about Tim Allen getting fired from ABC because of controversial comments he made during an interview with Megan Kelly about his struggles with erectile dysfunction.
Apparently, it was an issue Allen had dealt with for years until he eventually found a magical cure.
He supposedly spoke freely about it during their conversation.
Kelly was said to be bothered by the topic, and it was even claimed that she had some harsh words for Allen.
That rumor was spread around by an article titled “Was Tim Allen Fired After Shocking On-Air Confession To Megyn Kelly About Erectile Dysfunction Pills?”
According to the article, Allen’s time at ABC came to an abrupt end because of the infamous interview.
Allen’s angry outburst after hearing the news his show had been canceled played in the article’s favor.
“Stunned and blindsided, to say the least!
This is the network I thought of as my home for over 5 years,” Allen tweeted after hearing the news.
When I actually took the time to watch the interview, it turned out Allen never said anything about erectile dysfunction during his interview with Kelly.
The TV star never even took the conversation towards that direction.
By the time I found out the story was made up. Thousands had already been duped.
The reluctance of ABC’s executives to disclosed a clear reason for firing Allen didn’t help.
When prodded for the reason why Allen’s show was canceled, ABC executives were not able to come up with a straight answer.
The show had extremely high ratings, so there was clearly a large audience that enjoyed the content.
The rumor continued spreading like wildfire.
ABC president Channing Dungey was tight-lipped when asked about the cancellation, stating it was one of the toughest decisions she has had to make.
She never mentioned Allen’s controversial interview with Kelly.
So, what was the real reason Allen’s show was canceled?
Allen himself is not sure about the answer to that question.
“I have no idea why they did what they did.
You couldn’t have handled this worse… Second biggest show, (ABC) hadn’t won a Friday night in 15 years,” Allen explained. “They put us out to pasture on Friday and we won Friday. Big night for us. Big night for them. I would have put Roseanne after us.
Use us just to launch shows, if nothing else.”
According to Allen, it might have been his right-leaning political views and that of the character he played that really did him in.
“Archie Bunker pushed boundaries, but Carroll O’Connor was not that guy at all.
I am a version of that guy,” Allen explained. “But there is nothing more dangerous, especially in this climate, than a funny, likable conservative character.
He is mitigated on the show by a family of women who had a difference of opinions, but Mike Baxter was a likable guy and a principled guy about work and ethics and all this stuff, I think.”
While Allen’s politics might have had something to do with the cancellation, ABC’s claim that it was simply a business move does have some merit.
Generally speaking, as shows become more popular, the cost of production goes up as well.
That is because the show’s cast and key staff members gain popularity with the show.
That gives them the leverage to make more demands like bigger paychecks.
Many other popular shows have also been canceled due to increasing production costs.
After five seasons, if a show isn’t a hit (like Game of Thrones for example), subsequent seasons become harder to produce despite the show’s popularity.
That is because when a new show is created, the producers typically do not generate enough money to cover all their expenses until the third or fourth season.
Last Man Standing was able to secure lucrative cable deals and syndication with various networks, and their viewership was steadily increasing.
There was one big issue though.
ABC does not have ownership of the show, so they do not get any of the additional revenue generated from international broadcasts, reruns, and streaming services.
All that revenue went to the producers of the show, Fox, while ABC basically only made money from advertisements
That means despite the show’s success, the money being generated was not enough for ABC to justify renewing their contract with the producers who wanted more money.
Business wise, the decision makes lots of sense.
So there you have it.
Tim Allen was not fired because he talked about erectile dysfunction during his interview with Megan Kelly.
The Culprit Behind the Rumor: Biogenic XR
Ironically, Biogenic XR was not created with erectile dysfunction in mind.
It is actually a performance enhancer that was designed for people looking to gain muscle mass.
Its manufacturers claim it’s made from all-natural ingredients, and it helps you build muscle by increasing your testosterone and nitric oxide levels.
Having a stronger sex drive and being able to keep erections longer are simply side effects of having increased nitric oxide and testosterone levels.
As you get older, your body creates less testosterone which is why it becomes harder for you to get and keep erections.
Your testosterone levels are at their peak during your teenage years.
Biogenic XR claims their product will help keep your testosterone levels where it should be which makes it a lot easier to put on muscle and perform sexually.
The nitric oxide boost you get from this pill also helps you down there.
Nitric oxide dilates your veins, leading to improved blood flow and delivery of nutrients to your muscles and penis. Remember what your high-school biology teacher told you?
An erection is simply blood rushing to your penis when you are aroused.
Biogenic XR is also supposed to:
Boost your confidence
Increase the size of your penis
Improve the quality of your sex life
The science behind Biogenic XR makes a lot of sense.
A product that contains the right doses of testosterone booster and nitric oxide would be very beneficial to people with erectile dysfunction.
The problem is, Biogenic XR doesn’t do anything its manufacturers claim it does.
It’s actually one of those scams pills that give legitimate erectile dysfunction pills a bad name.
Steer fully clear of it if you don’t want to waste your money on something that not only will have zero effect on your erectile dysfunction, but also uses quite shady techniques to try and swindle customers out of their money.
Using scams like that involving celebrity endorsements that never actually happened are all too common these days spread across the internet so commonly that you can stumble across them without even trying, but either way they are just plain dumb.
Background / Bio: Just briefly tell us about yourself. Where you grew up, went to school, any records you hold, competitions you’ve won, stuff like that.
Any credentials or membership to professional organizations?
I grew up as a very skinny athletic growing up in Southern California and I went to a high school in La Verne, California where I played basketball and ran track.
I was one of the fastest guys in Southern California in high school.
I graduated as the 2nd fastest guy in the history of my high school called Damien High School.
I won Sprinter of the Year and Co-MVP of the track team.
And I also played basketball in high school.
I went to Cal State Fullerton on a track scholarship where I ran the 100, 200 meters and 400 relay.
I had an opportunity to play basketball and track in college and be a two sport athlete.
But I realized that this would be difficult to do both and juggle academics and still be successful.
So I chose to just focus on track.
I was the school record holder in the 100, 200 meters and 400 relay and I was Co-athlete of the year at the university.
I placed Top 5 in the 100 and 200 meters in the Big West Conference 2 years in a row.
I first started lifting weights consistently was when I was 17 years old right after I graduated from high school and entered college.
What inspired you to get into bodybuilding?
What inspired me to get into fitness was sports because I felt that the stronger I was and the more lean muscle mass I had the better athlete I would be in sports.
Also I was a really skinny kid growing up so lifting weights really helped me fill out the shape of my body.
I used to get made fun of when I was growing up because I was so thin.
So that motivated me to lift weights and the positive results of that gave me more confidence in myself.
Because I was a tall lanky guy my transformation wasn’t one of those that happened over night.
It took a lot of time, patience and many years of working very hard in the gym. But with consistency I was able to build a really lean, natural and athletic physique which helped me as an athlete in college.
And also has helped me as a successful health and wellness professional.
What inspired you to write “The Cut”?
TheCut came from the transformation of Hollywood A-lister Actor Morris Chestnut.
I got Morris Chestnut in the best shape of his life for a Universal Pictures movie called The Best Man Holiday which came out November of 2013. I helped him lose 33 pounds in 12 weeks for that movie as he was playing a Professional Football player in the movie.
He came to me in the worst of his shape and I got him in the best shape of his life at 44 years old.
While he was doing a national press tour promoting his movie all the daytime talk show hosts seem to ask him more questions about his ripped physique than the movie.
I am at home watching him all over national TV doing this Book Tour and I was taken back by all the attention on his body.
So a lightbulb came into my head about that he and I should do a 12 week diet and exercise transformation book together.
I asked Morris we should be a book together and he was like I am game.
But I didn’t want the book just to be about Morris’s diet and exercise program.
I wanted the diet and exercise book to be about transforming the average person over 12 weeks to get in shape not just about the transformation of a celebrity.
We ended up signing a major book deal with the third largest book publisher in the world called Hachette.
We did a huge national book tour April of 2017 as we were on national daytime talk shows such as Rachael Ray, Dr Oz, Wendy Williams, Steve Harvey, Kelly Live, The Chew, Home & Family on the Hallmark, The Today Show and many others.
After the book tour the book became a best-selling diet and exercise book.
You can watch all of those interviews below:
Were you born ripped, or did you have to work for it?
I was born very skinny/string bean and I really didn’t have any lean muscle mass to start with so I had to work so hard in the gym to build my physique.
I graduated high school at 167lbs at 6’2” and now I weigh 205 to 207 at 5 ½ to 6% body-fat walking around every day.
What gets you going? More importantly, what’s keeps you motivated to keep going?
What motivates me is knowing that so many people look to me for inspiration to be better health and fitness wise.
So that alone will force you to never let yourself go physically whatsoever.
And also I am motivated to maximize my potential in business, career and health. I want to attempt to be the best in everything I do and it’s not saying that I will be the best.
But my intention is always to put in the work to try to get there.
What is your personal fitness routine in an average week?
Feel free to break down a typical week of exercises here (I.E.
Monday: Back/Bi’s Lat pulldowns 4 X 12, One arm DB rows 4 X 10, etc.)
A typical exercise routine:
Monday– Chest/Biceps- Flat Dumbbell Press, Butter Fly Chest Machine, Incline Dumbbell Press and Chest Cross-Overs. 4 sets of 10-12 reps
Wednesday- Shoulders/Back- Shoulder Dumbbell Press, Shoulder Shrugs, Dumbbell Upright Rows and Dumbbell Front Raises. 4 sets of 10-12 reps
Superset- Shoulders and Back
Back- Pull-Ups, T-Bar Rows, Seated Low Rows, Lat Pull-Downs- 4 sets of 10-12 reps
Friday– Legs/Triceps– Hack Squats, Leg Press, Seated Curls, Lying Down Leg Curls, Seated Calf-Raises and Calf Raises on Leg Press Machine. 4 sets of 10-12 reps.
They are both equally important and without good nutrition it is very hard to maintain or lose weight and/or even build lean muscle mass.
Nutrition and supplementation is one of the most integral building blocks to maintaining an adequate and athletic high body composition.
They work hand in hand and neglecting one over the other is like taking a shower without soap.
What advice do you give to people trying to break into the Fitness Industry / Competition?
Try to be authentic, honest, ethical and credible and create a brand that is unique and not like everybody else.
With social media and if you are saavy enough you can really create a brand without ever really accomplishing anything.
So if you create a formidable platform make sure you study and read everything on exercise science and nutritional science.
Don’t be one of these fake fitness experts and fitness professionals who post daily images of themselves but don’t know the difference between a Whey Protein and BCAA. Don’t just be an influencer who has lots of followers but has no substance, no education or no credibility.
Most people with any common sense can recognize who is a legit fitness professional and who is a fraud fitness professional.
What do you think is the most overrated exercise in the gym? Most underrated exercise?
I think the most overrated gym exercise is bench press because it doesn’t really work your chest that much.
It works the shoulders more than your chest and it’s not a functional exercise at all.
When will your back ever be flat on the ground in that benching position.
It is a non-functional exercise and people always seem to ask the most common silly and stupid question which is, “How much do you bench?”
When cutting, down do you prefer to use HIIT or just normal cardio? What’s your favorite cutting exercise?
I prefer to do HIIT cardio because if you incorporate it when you are cutting down you are able to maintain your lean muscle without losing lean muscle mass.
Because HIIT training is an anaerobic workout and anaerobic workouts tend to build and maintain lean muscle mass.
My favorite cutting exercise would be doing sprints.
What is your diet like?
My diet consists of chicken, turkey, steak, baked potatoes, apples, oranges, unsalted nuts, oatmeal, etc.
What is your supplementation like? Any particular favorites?
My supplementation is the following: I take a Whey Protein, Fish Oil, Pre-Workout and a Heart Healthy Supplement.
In fact I just started my new supplement brand called Obistrong Nutrition that just launched December 31st.
Because Ive been so unhappy and distrustful with many supplements brands in the fitness industry I decided to start my own brand with some very smart business partners of mine.
The supplement brand is a science based brand that actually will do what it is says it is supposed to do.
I teamed up with one of the best formulators in the country to create supplements that has 3rd party validation testing to each ingredient in our products.
We have no stimulants, no ephedra, no synephrine in our pre-workout whatsoever which is called Obi-Stim.
Our Whey Protein called Obi-Whey is a gluten free whey protein with 20 grams of protein per serving which is a lot of protein.
No fillers and if it says 20 grams of protein there is 20 grams of protein in there.
A second phenomenal component of the whey protein is the whole food form complex carbs which helps make you more fuller because of the extra fiber component.
After taking the whey protein it really sustains you and makes you feel more fuller.
And you don’t feel that you have to eat a meal right away.
We have a healthy heart supplement called Obi-Heart that helps to improve blood flow to the heart and also blood flow to the sexual organs.
Any I don’t think anybody will complain about that part…LOL.
It also prevents oxidative damage to cells which is one of leading causes to aging and age related conditions.
And it does a great job on giving you incredible mental and physical energy which is a great post workout type of product. I typically advise people to take the healthy heart supplement after they workout.
And most importantly we have a very powerful appetite suppressant/metabolism booster supplement called Obi-Slim that helps to reduce appetite and support weight loss.
Many people don’t have self control late at night because they binge but the Obi-Slim will prevent late night binging or overeating while also helping to speed up your metabolism.
The first 5000 people that purchase any of our Obistrong supplements will receive a free 12 week 90 page exercise e-book created by me.
You can check out our products at obistrong.com.
I guarantee you that if you try them out that you will love them and won’t try anything else.
If you were starting over right now, what would you do differently?
If I was starting all over again I would have put more energy, time and effort on pursuing mainstream opportunities a lot earlier in my career. As opposed to putting the effort and time so much later on in my career.
What’s the best training advice you’ve ever received?
The best training advice I’ve received is be patient as you can’t a build a beautiful temple or building overnight.
And that is the best advice that I’ve ever received.
I pass that same advice to other young fitness enthusiasts that want to get in better shape.
When people ask you what your secret to cutting is, what do you tell them?
The best advice to cutting is what you put into your body nutritionally. The quality of foods you eat will help tremendously in dropping body-fat.
So there is really no deep secret to cutting honestly.
But the high quality clean foods that you will never go wrong are fish, tilapia, chicken, broccoli, sweet potatoes, asparagus, egg whites, oatmeal, etc.
Favorite cheat meal?
My favorite cheat meal is eating fried chicken at Popeyes or KFC which is something I rarely do because it is so fattening.
But once in awhile I will eat it and by the way that is a severely bad cheat meal.
What has been your biggest accomplishment in the fitness field?
It is really difficult to figure out what my biggest accomplishment in the fitness industry because my career isn’t over yet and it is still going very strong.
But one of the highlights of my career was co-authoring a diet and exercise book with an A-lister Actor in Morris Chestnut.
The book was a best-seller and it was ranked as high as #12 on Amazon for all books in all genres.
And it was ranked #1 and #2 in the exercise and diet genre on Amazon which was such a tremendous honor as a first time Author.
And then being a guest on every major national daytime Talk show across the country promoting the book.
Very very few fitness professionals from the fitness industry have ever had the opportunity to do that.
So I feel blessed in being able to achieve that.
Also being metrically selected as one of the Top Ten Most Influential Fitness Experts on the Web by Dr Oz’s Sharecare.com site.
Is there any final things you would like to say in the interview?
I want to thank Rob for giving me the opportunity for this interview.
Also I want to let everybody know that I will be on NBC’s Access Hollywood giving health and wellness tips on January 3rd in the early morning time so check your local listings.
And I will also be on Access Hollywood promoting and plugging the Obistrong supplement nutrition brand.
Also my best selling diet and exercise book TheCut can be purchased at thecutbook.com

As a rule of thumb, many things that sound too good to be true, often are just that.
However, it’s almost 2018….and skeptic or not, you have to admit that some of the revolutionary drugs we’ve seen, we wouldn’t have believed just a few years ago.
Fixing bad vision with lasers? Reversing cancer?
Healing chronic pain?
It’s all been done.
So is it that outrageous that a male enhancement drug could live up to the hype it claims to deliver?
Specifically, one of the buzziest supplements out there today is Titanax, which, as the name might suggest, not only promises to deliver insane growth rates, titanic amounts, one might say, but also graces the every day man with allegedall night endurance in the sack.
If you’ve perused any adult entertainment sites as of late, you’ve no doubt seen this product blowing up the sidebar advertisements with their outrageous claims and tantalizing hints of this “shocking” new supplement.
Let’s pull back the curtain on this drug and see just exactly what we’re dealing with.
The Claims
Have you seen ads like these?
If so, you’re not alone in wondering just how much fact vs. fiction lies behind these claims.
Let’s dig in and uncover just that.
Ads for Titanax are a dime a dozen on the internet, and all basically ensure that if you take this supp, you’ll enjoy increased libido, performance, and pleasure during the act, a longer lasting erection, and increased sexual confidence.
Not that much unlike many of its competitors, I know, it is a slew of claims that you and I alike are all too familiar with at this point.
What’s not to love, right?
Not just that, but Titanax’s site boasts that their drug delivers revved up levels of testosterone, for both drive and better erections, “on command.”
Thanks to this firing-on-all-cylinder’s-approach, their product promises to leave your partner “gasping for more.”
The master scheme this supplementuses for sucking you in is a multi-step process.
First, if you frequent adult entertainment and porn sites, you may have already seen these ads, which frequently pop up, alluding to this “shocking” new supplement rocking the male enhancement world.
If you were to click on that ad, it would take you to the following image, which shows the Titanax label.
These faux ads sprinkled throughout porn sites don’t stop there.
Once you click on one, you’re taken to a length ad with numerous “real” testimonies and supposed reviews from raving couples.
The headline claim is that taking Titanax will result in a growth rate of 1.5 inches per week.
Finally, they boast, the great secret formula that is Titanax can be shared.
What’s the problem?
Before we delve into the reviews, supposed benefits, or ingredients of this alleged “#1 best selling” drug, let’s point out just a few obvious issues with these ads.
Not only does this product fall short, as we’ll unpack below, but this exact ad has been used before.
As in, the exact same outlandish promise, that you’ll be able to grow at a rate of 1.5 inches per week.
The identical text, and images are not only associated with Titanax, but numerous other similar, competingproducts, when you dig a little further.
For example, the same exact bologne ads have been used to try to swindle buyers into ordering Erectize, a testosterone-boosting drug.
Not just that, the same ad claimed the same benefits can be yours from taking Andro Enhance, yet another libido and erection-enhancing drug, as well as Xynafil—same exact promises.
Starting to seem a little fishy yet?
First, the header of the website has the Men’s Health Life banner, leading you to believe you’re on the official Men’s Health website itself.
It’s a common tactic within the shady supplement world to lead potential buyers to believe they’re safe in the hands of a legitimate, trusted site.
However, if you look beyond the recognizable font and “Men’s Health” look, you’ll see the URL is that of the porn site’s itself.
A cheap Photoshop job is probably all it took.
Even if you can see past this glaring example of B.S., read on and you’ll uncover more sleazy tricks.
All are designed to make you trust the product, as long as you don’t look too closely.
A whole section of the ad is designated to supposed testimonies and proof from sexologists and specialist doctors.
The main man in the spotlight is Dr. Zavier DeWeilder, the supposed creator of this miracle drug.
A section of the fake ad is written as though it’s by him, though we’re given zero background or actual information on who he is, his credentials, or anything beyond total fluff.
The ad simply says that “as doctors, we recommend Titanax.”
So who is this elusive supposed creator of Titanax? Who knows!
Not even Google!
Search for the man behind the miracle, and you’re going to come up empty-handed and just as clueless as before.
No actual information or even a Wikipedia page exists for this fictional man, and all the top results simply lead you right back to pages about Titanax.
Any legitimatedoctor would have at the very least a basic website for their practice, or medical reviews.
With this guy though, good luck finding a single shred of evidence that he’s a real doctor.
As the final nail in the coffin in this train wreck of suspicious B.S. lies in the comment section of the ad.
After you read past a slew of testimonies (complete with photographic “proof” that the drug delivers what it promises), you’re taken to a comment section.
It would stand to reason then, you’d be able to leave an actual comment, right?
Think again.
The site doesn’t’ allow you to leave a comment even if you tried.
You’re simply supposed to believe that the other “real” comment left by “actual users,” got there by magic.
Suffice it to say, we’re not exactly buying it, but good try.
Benefits Of Titanax
Sketchiness aside, let’s take a look at the actual supposed benefits of this drug, just to be fair.
From the Titanax site, we see the supplement is designed to specifically target male “virility, vitality, and vigor.” By targeting a trifecta of areas for sexual health, the pill should leave users with ramped up sexual stamina, endurance to “go all night” as many of the ads claim, and a spike in sexual confidence, as would be expected if you’re growing at a rate of 1.5 inches per week!
Ingredients of Titanax
Anyone can order Titanax sans prescription, thanks to its blend of all-natural ingredients that make up the supplement.
Here’s what you’ll find in a bottle.
Yohimbe: An African plant, this has been used for centuries as a natural aphrodisiac to boost sexual health, circulation, and energy.
Korean Ginseng: Another from-the-earth ingredient, this type of ginseng can be used to treat sexual dysfunction, increase sexual confidence, performance, and overall reduce stress while boosting your mood naturally.
Maca: A buzz-worthy ingredient in lots of supplements lately, this Peruvian herb has a laundry list of health benefits, one of which is renewing a sluggish sex drive and libido, plus upping your sperm count and production.
Fenugreek: Another plant with many benefits, Fenugreek has been shown to reduce all-over inflammation, but also boosts reproductive function and improves your sex life.
Ginkgo Bilboba: This herbal remedy is widely known to improve circulation all over, particularly to the extremities, and helps mental focus as well.
It’s interesting to note that a simple Google search will lead you to many other pages that list differing ingredients in Titanax.
In fact, almost every site we came across listed out slightly different ingredients than found on the main Titanax web page, further lending to this murkiness of this product.
At the end of the day, it’s basically impossible to find out from the internet alone exactly what you’d be putting into your body by taking this supplement.
How It Works
According to the official Titanax website, the supplement operates on a “dual action formula.”
This is designed to target two common facets of male supplementation—boosting levels of testosterone in the body while also increasing blood flow, meaning harder and more impressive erections.
The site seems to imply that results are nearly immediate, since it mentions these “on command” erections that the drug delivers.
Reviews of Titanax
If all you read was the ingredient list and overview of how it works, you might buy it—Titanax doesn’t sound half bad.
Start digging for reviews though, and you’re going to come up a little empty-handed.
Though their official site has one (only one!) review from a “real man,” claiming his sex life was forever improved thanks to Titanax, that’s all you’re going to get.
We have no way to know if this one review has even a shred of legitimacy or was just flat up constructed by Titanax creators.
Similarly, out of the entire first page of Google search results for “Titanax,” only one review we saw seemed to have any type of teeth to it.
The vast majority had boilerplate, robotic sounding language that anyone, expert or not, could have written.
Quite likely, they seem to be cranked out by the manufacturers themselves, and offer no real discussion of pros and cons, and only glowing praise.
Hilariously, with many of the supposed reviews, we don’t get any real people leaving comments, or even names attached to the article.
Many are simply by “author,” or give credit to supposed doctors, whom we have no way of knowing if they’re real or not.
Many other reviews show that they gave the supplement less than a 5-star rating, some as low as 2.8, but then if you read the article, they have nothing but amazing things to say.
Where to Buy it and Who Makes it
Like many supplements in the male enhancement world, if you still want to give Titanax a shot yourself, you’ll have to order it straight from their site, and it’s available to U.S. residents only.
An order form is found front and center on their site, where you plug in your contact info to take advantage of one of the only 265 order they alleged mail out per day.
New customers are able to get a “free trial,” meaning the product itself is free, and you pay a mere $5 for shipping and handling.
As for the manufacturers behind the product, aside from the fictional Dr. Zavier Deweilder, there’s scarce info on this as well.The site doesn’t share anything about who makes it, and their contact form just gives a mailing address in Phoenix, Arizona–no manufacture name at all.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, just like we began this review with, if it seems too good to be true, it oftentimes is.
Titanax’s web presence, ads, and supposed reviews are riddled with B.S., from start to finish.
From a scam doctor to a rigged ad making it look like Men’s Health endorses the product, to a dead-end comment section you can’t leave a comment on, Titanax is a product that reeks of foul play, at every turn.
Do all-natural ingredients like ginkgo biloba and maca do a body harm? Not likely.
But will they revolutionize your sex life?
Doubtful…highly doubtful.
We lost respect for this product thanks to their tangled web of faux reviews and suspicious gimmicks designed to hook in the unassuming buyer and make them fall for these promises.
It is just a bad business model and basically just leaves a sour taste in my mouth for good as far as how I feel about their products.
Why go to such lengths to trick your consumer, if you were dealing out a legitmate product?
The answer is simple—these kind of shady tactics mean that no doubt, the product is a total sham.
Baywatch, Hercules,andBallers,are just a few of his recent works, but in every shot and every scene, he makes us feel guilty for eating some popcorn or candy while we watch his movies.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, is in such great shape that people are starting to spread rumors like it is impossible for a man his age to be in excellent physical condition.
So, how does he do it?
Article 1
The first story I located on my search to find out how The Rock does it, I caught two things that didn’t sound quite right.
Those things wrapped into one is that Dwayne was kicked off the set ofBallersbecause he was caught taking performance-enhancing drugs. That caught me by surprise.
Dwayne and Mark Wahlberg just dealt with the lawsuit about the actual show, why would they kick him off the set?
So, with that question in mind, I dug a little deeper.
In this same story, I found another rather ridiculous statement that they “quoted” Dwayne saying his doctor recommended some supplements for him to take to bulk up forBaywatch andFast and Furious 8.Is it normal for a unknown doctor to suggest Trembolex Ultra and Vigor Enhance?
Well, if you instinct and gut is doing you any favors and working well, it’s probably telling you “no, it’s not normal.”
I can’t confirm or deny this, but that put a huge red flag in the story for me.
Article 2
Further research into the topic of Dwayne and how he stays in shape, I found a different article about Dwayne once again speaks about some supplements he is taking to help him with staying in excellent physical condition.
This is a quote from him, supposedly.
I have searched, and I have not found anything to say either article at this point is right on him taking any supplements, and “if” he is, what he is taking.
But I have one BIG question about that, how come he has “taken” so many supplements?
I also was curious about the articles themselves.
If they interviewed Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, former WWE wrestler and actor, why only ask one question or quote the one statement?
I mean, if I spoke with him, our conversation would be recorded and all over the palce with me asking a ton of questions.
Article 3
This article they mention a set of supplements as “the ultimate steroid alternative.” I have to admit; this article is a little too much for me.
They say, trainers, celebrities, and bodybuilders, but yet they don’t have a single quote or endorsement to back them up, that is official.
I also found they have different supplements to The Rock supplement diet.
The article says that they have done unique research on these supplements, well they are not uncommon results at all, they record the same information that the others have provided.
Well, how can that be possible, when all three articles are speaking of Dwayne taking them, but none of the names are the same? Confused?
I know I am.
These stories, rumors, lies, are just that. False information.
They are trying to draw in more sales and have you believe that taking any of the supplements will help you build muscles like Dwayne, who is apparently not taking these supplements.
How do I know?
The Truth
I know Dwayne is not taking any of these supplements for many different reasons.
I have already pointed out that these articles look like advertisements, not an informative story.
Another thing you need to think about when you think of Dwayne Johnson. How long has he been this big?
After reviewing the information I found on the topic, I found enough evidence to know he isn’t using any enhancers or supplements.
I have seen interviews where he discussed his work out, diet and how his typical day goes and there is no mention of any supplements.
I looked into the reasons behind the rumors of him possibly leavingBallers, which has nothing to do with performing enhancing supplements.
Earlier, I mentioned the story that has a quote of Dwayne stating that his doctor recommended these so-called supplements.
Well, most people who work with celebrities take pride in helping them, so why didn’t he mention his doctor’s name?
In a different article, he says his trainer, Aaron Williamson, who has a website with The Rock as one of his client’s.
The above article has the workout Dwayne did to get his body for the newest movie, Jumanji.
Convinced?
After researching, and reviewing all the information, I was able to locate regarding this matter, I am convinced.
I feel I have built a pretty good case to help you understand that, No, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, is not and does not take supplements to stay in shape.
But he is spending hours every day working out, putting in the effort and energy to earn his post-WWE superstar body, that everyone envies.
So unlike some, The Rock is all natural!
If a celebrity endorsement of a product seems like it is fake, especially if it is found on the ever so often untrustworthy internet, then chances are it is a fake.
Note: I’m going to keep this review SUPER short, mainly because everything I’m about to say I’ve already said before about a dozen times.
If you want to read why I believeViral RX is a complete and utter scam, then Click Here to read my full review of another supplement called PXL / VXL male enhancement.
In my professional opinion,ViralRX is EXACTLY the same thing as PXL and VXL, and you’ll find out why in that review.
So I’m scrolling through an adult film site late this afternoon when I come across the following ad:
I’ve seen this ad countless times in the last 6 months or so, and the names change faster than I can keep up with.
At first I thought it was a joke, but apparently this is a sexual enhancement supplement that’s designed to help improve erection quality, control, and duration.
Viral RX pills do this through a blend of ingredients that includes the following:
L-Arginine
Muira Puama
Asian Red Ginseng
Horny Goat Weed
Saw Palmetto berry
Gingko Biloba extract
Bioperine
They call this a “premium testoboron formula”, whatever that means.
This EXACT same formulation can be found in countless other supplements, including PXL, which I mentioned above.
Why IsViral RX A Scam?
Because I’ve seen these EXACT same ads being used to promote completely different sounding supplements, which all end up being the EXACT same product.
Let me explain….
When you visit theViral RX site, you’ll see this:
When you go to the VXL website, this is what you see:
When you go to the PTX male enhancement website, you see this:
I could literally show you DOZENS of examples of this.
They are ALL the same company, selling a slightly different product, and scamming the HELL out of 1,000’s of guys.
How do they do this?
Well, it starts off like this:
They create a supplement, like Viral RX, throw up a fancy website, and start throwing ads all over porn sites.
They sucker 10,000 guys into thinking they’re going to grow their penis with their supplement, and convince you to put in your credit card information to pay for the “shipping” charge.
2 weeks later they bang your credit card for an ENORMOUS amount of money.
After a few months, the product name gets “burned” and they rinse and repeat the process.
I’m not a betting man, but I would be willing to bet that in a few months time, you won’t be hearing about Viral RX again.
Conclusion
Don’t waste your time with Viral RX. All they’re trying to do is get you to sign up for their free trial, which ultimately will end up billing you close to $100 if you don’t call to cancel your trial within 15 days.
They are far from the only business that practices business like that, but that does not make what they do any less sinister or off-putting as far as actually making anyone want to give them their patronage, which I personally recommend against strongly.
If you don’t believe me, then go ahead and order it.
Just don’t be surprised to see a huge credit card charge and wonder wtf is going on.
And definitely don’t come to me asking what happened!
In general, free trial scams are huge all over the internet and are not exclusive to the male enhancement supplement community, but take it from me that they are quite prominent and I personally would recommend avoiding them unless you know for sure that it is a reputable company that you are dealing with.
From a high school sweetheart to the muscular superstar that challenged Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, everyone is wondering how in the world did he get so, muscular?
Did “The Rock” Tell Him To Take These?
In one article, they speculated that Zac took some supplements to help him get big quick.
Not only did they say he took these supplements, but they “quoted “ him saying he received them from his co-star rival in Baywatch.
I never heard, nor was I able to locate this “ exclusive interview” where Zac Efron was recorded saying these words.
After further digging into the situation, I found another issue with their statements about Zac.
I located more than one article that says, Zac is currently taking muscle supplements to build muscle and to give him the ability to star in movies like Neighbors and Baywatch, as the hunk every man wants to be and every woman want to be with.
But with each story comes a different supplement or group of supplements.
Here is one where he is Trembolex Ultra and Vigor Enhance:
Reading through that article, I found that they repeatedly say he takes these supplements, then go into detail about the actual supplements, not more about what “else” Zac does while taking these supplements to help him lose weight.
Another False Story
In this story, Zac is taking Testo AmpX and Muscle AmpX.
These sound a little too outlandish, and I wouldn’t trust them myself.
But I believe in my screenshot there is supposed to be a quote from him, verifying that he volunteered to be a guinea pig!
I know he is a celebrity, but is that safe?
Celebrity or not, that sounds like a huge liability that really shouldn’t be published if it were true.
Again with the Lies
In another article, yes, there are more lies about Zac and these supplements, he is taking a different set of supplements. I have to admit; this one went down a different road to accuse Zac of taking these supplements.
They do say he takes N.O Capsules and testosterone.
They describe the schedule in which he takes them, but they don’t exactly tell us, what it is he uses by name.
They don’t mention any exclusive interviews with Zac.
I was a little confused with this website and their article about the topic.
I was not convinced they believed he took these supplements.
I mean how many supplements can they claim one celebrity uses to bulk up muscle or lose weight?
Come to find out; they did not believe the story’s they read either.
I saw a link on the website:
After clicking on this link, my browser took me to a page which describes the REAL way; Zac Efron gained the muscle we all have seen in the movie Baywatch.
So do they believe Zac took the muscle supplements?
Reading the article further on, I feel they don’t, but the same website and the same author spoke of the lie and the truth.
Maybe they don’t know what to believe.
The Truth of the matter
I know Zac Efron did things the old fashion way with exercise and diet.
Now, I know you are wondering why I know this and trust me you will get the information I have.
First, I would like to point out that after reading lie after lie about Zac Efron and these supplements, I came to realize, they mention his name and toss in a “quote” made by him, then continue to speak about the supplements in detail.
These articles are mostly advertising. They are trying to make a sale.
They are driving people to these story’s then try to convince people to buy the supplements, by throwing in a celebrity, that I pointed out, every man wants to be and say, he did it, so can you.
Another reason, I am positive, he is not using these supplements, is the fact that with every story, the supplements are not the same.
I know some people take a lot of medicines prescribed by their doctor, so that is typical, but all of these testosterone pills in one person, cannot be a good thing.
Why are we not hearing of him going on angry rampages yet?
Now doesn’t this sound like a real person who is on a diet? For me it sure does.
I like my salads and kale, but not enough to get excited, and on top of that, I understand the science behind how the mind and dedication work to get this sort of reaction.
Just be honest with yourself, not on a diet, would you crave that?
Another reason to believe he did it the old fashion way is the mention of his trainer, Patrick Murphy.
Any reputable trainer would do the job right rather than give their trainees supplements.
After researching information about his trainer I have located a video with his trainer discussing their training days and other things Zac Efron along with a few more famous names:
Looking into another story about the real way Zac got his muscle, I found the little bit of information above, and I remembered my days of being in peak physical condition.
I worked out hours a day, most of the week and sometimes more than once in a day, which makes sense to what Zac did and with extreme exercises as mentioned above, results will happen, and they will be noticed.
If anyone did this for a month with changes to their diet, anyone would see a big difference in themselves. And that is what this guy did.
He reached out to Patrick Murphy, Zac’s trainer at http://www.murphyfitness.com/, and decided to follow Zac’s exercise plan with a modified diet plan strictly tailored to him.
If the video, a story of a reporter doing the “Baywatch” diet, and successfully having his body transformed, and a website to Zac’s trainer.
Along with the advertising feel of the other articles are not enough information to convince you that Zac worked hard and dieted, I don’t know what else to tell you!
Of course, all people are different and nobody should ever expect to get big and significant gains that stick unless they are just as diligent and dedicated to putting those hours in at the gym that count and sticking to a diet that is aimed at turning all that fat and those calories that you are burning daily into muscle and pairing it with a supplement regimen that maximizes the chances to keep them.
In an article recently published online, they mention that Tim McGraw uses a “muscle supplement” to help him lose 40 pounds in 4 weeks and he endorsed this product!
According to them, the muscle supplements he took were called Trembolex Ultra.
Let me reassure you that they are just putting words in a celebrity’s mouth so that they can get a sale!
As many of us know, when something is underlined as such, if you click it you so go to another page. So why put words in the mouth of someone such as Tim McGraw?
They do it because he is famous!
Another article that says Tim is taking their muscle supplement
Another article just like the one before, says that he uses two different types of “muscle supplements.” Apparently, he endorses those also?
Even though I must admit, they focus more on this article on what the supplements are and what they can do for you.
Which happens in an advertisement, but they throw the songwriter’s name in there to get the search and to draw those leads.
So for them, it is all fun and games, who cares if you spread rumors about a celebrity.
Just because he has transformed his body, doesn’t mean he is doing something he shouldn’t.
Unlike the first article, where they try to keep the focus on the celebrity, this article focuses on these so-called “supplements.” That has me thinking they are just trying to advertise the supplements, and spread the word, to get more sales!
And again with the muscle supplements.
In this article, they say that yet still, Tim is taking muscle supplements.
But this time the supplements are different from the last couple of articles. (Is it me, or are they running out of advertising ideas?) This time apparently he is taking Power Testo Blast and Power Muscle Blast.
With all these supplements, it cannot be suitable for his body at this point.
Article after article, lies, and rumors keep on spreading about Tim McGraw and this transformation.
How do we know these articles are lies?
Well just to begin, the process of helping you understand that these are all nothing but lies starts with the obvious.
These three articles alone, how many muscle supplements is Tim taking? Way too many to count.
Secondly, when did these interviews with Tim McGraw take place and why do they seem only to ask the one question?
Unlike his meeting with another where he talks all about his fitness, how he got started, and why he began the journey of getting healthy again.
If he didn’t use supplements, how DID he do it?
In an interview conducted by Men’s Fitness, Tim and the interviewer, discuss, what motivated him to begin exercising, when he started his fitness journey, what he does to stay fit on the road, his new start in the world of fitness, and many things about his career.
He always speaks about how he works with his longtime trainer, Roger Yuan.
In another article, an interview with Tim they once again talked about his fitness, career and they even quoted him on what he did and why it changed his life, that leads him to fitness.
There is an interview conducted with the famous personal trainer, Roger Yuan, where he speaks of how hard Tim works when they do a session together.
He points out that he has to tell Tim to dial it back on pushing himself, as he might hurt, or overdo it.
So not only do these stories contradict the rumors, they just prove that Tim, lost the weight the right way, with hard work.
He focuses on his diet, eating the right things, and spending many hours every day doing different physical activities that will improve his overall health.
If this isn’t enough to convince you that Tim is not taking supplements, how about you watch the YouTube video, where Roger Yuan, his trainer for 7 or 8 years, talks about working with him.
In this video, Roger speaks of working not only with Tim, but two other celebrities and one of those is an all-time action actor, Jackie Chan, known for doing his stunts.
Now it really can’t get more convincing than that.
The most effective conversation done with Tim McGraw is the one done with The New York Times.
In this interview, they dive deep into the process Tim has established and the amount of time him and his crew, yes his crew, spend hours working out together.
These interviews have convinced me that the first few articles, were lies and just an awful attempt at leads or sale of these supplements.
They spoke of nothing more than the supplements, and they provided links to take you to the place to purchase them online. They went into detail about them, and nothing else came up.
The scientific proof of this, and that, with no proof from the celebrity himself.
It is simply a ploy to dupe potential buyers into associating a celebrity that they are familiar with results that they are probably not going to get and the whole thing seems like a bit of a sham.
Final word, Tim McGraw does not take muscle supplements!
It’s almost 2018, and if there’s a quick fix pill or magic bullet solution to any health woe, you can bet someone’s made it and put it on the market.
And nowhere is this more evident than in the male enhancement world.
All you have to do is take a quick once-over of our site to realize that perhaps no niche of the supplement industry is more flooded with supplement options, each promising to out-deliver the rest.
Vaso Blast is just one of many of these drugs.
In 2017, you certainly can’t believe everything you read though, with supplements from pre-workouts to multivitamins coming under fire for questionable ingredients and additives.
Let’s unpack the promises and hype behind this drug, take a look at the ingredients, and see if it’s one worth shelling out the bucks for, or another quick fix promise that fall flat.
Benefits of Vaso Blast
Head to Vaso Blast’s website and you’re immediately hit with a glowing overview of all this drug has to offer.
The Cliffnote’s version is that by taking Vaso Blast, which targets two erectile chambers in the penis, men can “almost immediately” expect a wider and longer shaft, 31% growth on average, increased nerve sensitivity, and better ability to better satisfy their partners.
The site brags that it’s nothing like Viagra—which only increases erections, but does nothing for size itself.
How Vaso Blast Works
The website for Vaso Blast isn’t what anyone could call subtle.
In fact, it straight up proclaims that their supplement works in revolutionary ways, unlike any other competing products in the marketplace.
What sets it apart from the crowd?
In short, Vaso Blast is allegedly on a stage of own thanks to a new scientific approach, which uses the “reverse nitric oxide pathway,” to increase penis size faster than other brands do.
Most male enhancement products use the standard Nitric Oxide pathway, which is where Vaso Blast attempts to set itself apart from the crowd.
If you buy into the promises, then not only should you get results that dwarf those from other brands, but you should see permanent changes.
Read the full FAQ page and you’ll learn that results are supposedly almost immediately noticeable, and only get better with time.
A few days in, you’ll notice a fuller feeling, with significant gains in the first month, give or take.
It’s not until month two though, that the drug is reported to work at its full potential.
The drug is designed to not just give you temporary impressive results, in other words, but create lasting change over time.
Ingredients in Vaso Blast
One of the primary selling points of Vaso Blast is its makeup of natural ingredients.
When stacked together, this ingredient profile is designed to jointly target multiple areas of sexual health and performance, by boosting free testosterone levels in the body, cranking up sexual vitality and energy, and revving up libido.
Let’s take a deeper look at some of the star players in this ingredient list.
Arginine Alpha – Ketoglutarate: An amino acid, this ingredient boosts blood flow thanks to vasodilator abilities.
It’s also used in many workout supplements since it helps the body crank up nitric oxide, which aids muscle growth.
L-Citruline: This is a non-essential amino acid that has been proven to be helpful not just for metabolism, but also shows up in a lot of male enhancement drugs for its vasodilator properties.
We all know more blood flow and circulation means more blood to the penis during erections.
Long Jack: This natural compound, originally from Asia, has been widely used for pro-fertility and as an aphrodisiac and powerful stimulant for sexuality.
1,3 Dimethylamylamine HCL: We’ll discuss this one much more in depth below, but honestly it was shocking this was included on the list, tucked in between other natural and harmless ingredients.
Though it was once commonly featured in energy/performance boosting athletic supplements, this ingredient is banned by the FDA and categorized as potentially hazardous.
Known as DMAA, it’s on the prohibited list of supplements by The World Anti-Doping Agency, banned by the military, and generally known as a poison due to high blood pressure and cardiovascular health concerns.
More on this, below.
Maca Root: This superfood ingredient is cropping up in all sorts of supplements and health foods lately, but it’s also been used for sexual health and to encourage erections among its other benefits.
Long Pepper: This little-known vine from Asia has a claim to fame for a laundry list of ailments it’s supposed to help heal—everything from migraines to heart conditions.
It’s also known to help boost overall nutrient absorption in the body.
Muira Puama: This Amazonian ingredient is also known as “potency root,” and is used as something of a sexual cure-all by indigenous people.
Tribulus terrestris, Avena sativa, & Tribulus aquaticus – Are three natural ingredients that are all three commonly used in alternative medicine to boost natural testosterone levels in the body
Trichopus Zeylanicus– In addition to helping treat liver disease and fatigue, this plant, native to India, has been shown to kick up libido, ramp up sexual performance, and help with endurance during the act.
Vitis Vinifera– A strong antioxidant, otherwise known as grape seed, Vitis Vinifera is used to direct more blood to the penis and helps boost erections.
Arginine Nitrate: Think of it as a natural energy booster, vasodilator, and pump-up ingredient all in one.
Zooming out and taking a larger look at this ingredient list as a whole, what’s to make of it?
There’s no doubt there are many natural ingredients and superfoods making an appearance in Vaso Blast—always a good thing.
No one’s claiming plants like maca or long pepper will do a body harm.
But will this ingredient list deliver the 31% growth rate the site promises?
It’s one thing to pop a pill that marginally increases your overall health, and quite another to assume that a smorgasbord of healthy ingredients equals the total revolution in your sex life and satisfaction levels that the drug promises.
If it was that simple, everyone would be taking it.
Natural ingredients aside, there’s a more troubling issue at play here.
You wouldn’t take a multivitamin without scanning the ingredient list, hopefully, so why would you pop a pill without doing the same?
Vaso Blast lists out the above ingredients, sure, what are there other additives or inactive ingredients?
And in what proportions are you getting these?
Who knows, since Vaso Blast glaringly fails to provide even a basic breakdown of how much of each ingredient you’re getting, meaning there’s no way to assure they’re in effective or even safe amounts.
We’ve saved the biggest issue for last though, and this is the inclusion of 1,3 Dimethylamylamine, or DMAA.
Breeze through the ingredients list on Vaso Blast’s site, and it’s interesting to note that when they get down to this ingredient, instead of explaining what it is, the site launches into a totally off-topic tangent of how erections work.
Is this supposed to distract us from the inclusion of this ingredient?
Likely, as it’s banned by the FDA for several alarming reasons.
We could talk all day about how it can cause severe cardiovascular problems and serious health concerns, but bottom line, it’s illegal and banned the FDA, so the fact that it appears here at all is enough to make us dismiss Vaso Blast and question the company as a whole.
Where to Get it
Like many supplements of its kind, to snag a bottle of Vaso Blast for yourself, you’ll have to order through their website.
A few options exist, ranging from a one bottle, 30-day supply from $39.99 all the way up to a complete four bottle option, which includes 3 freebies, for a 7-month dose.
Who Makes It
Interestingly, tracing who’s actually behind Vaso Blast is a little bit of a wild goose chase.
If you believe the fine print on the bottom of their homepage, Vaso-Blast seems to be a “registered trademark of Cytozyte Technologies,” but on other pages on their site, credit goes to Bio Vita Labs.
And good luck finding any solid info on either of these companies…
A quick google search of either leads you right back to the Vaso Blast page itself, and no information on the brains behind this product.No address exists for the company either, lending to their sketchy-at-best presence even more.
Reviewsof Vaso Blast
Scan through a sampling of reviews on google of Vaso-Blast, and what impression will you come away with?
Anything from, “this is poison,” to claims that it’s the best quality supplement on the market.
Don’t fall for the glowing reviews.
A quick read reveals they’re mostly fluff.
Far from subjective, science-backed reviews, most of these review sites include sparse if any actual customer reviews, and embedded links right in the text to order Vaso Blast.
Don’t expect to see any factual information, research-backed claims, or true testimonies of the product, as most reviews simply rave how Vaso Blast is the best and safest supplement around.
These tooth-less claims and fluff seem to be taken either straight from the website or written by the company itself.
The writers of some claim to present an “unbiased” review, but with no research backing their claims, which could have been written by anyone, their reviews are completely useless.
Even more confusing, even though many reviews show a 5 out of 5-star rating for the product, some include the word “warning” right in the review title.
However, read on, and you’ll find nothing but completely-fictional sounding testimonies, stock image ads from supposedly thrilled customers, and no actual unbiased information on the product.
Out of the first page of google results, only one product review site comes right out and calls BS, warning readers about the dangers of Vaso Blast, specifically the questionable inclusion of an FDA-banned ingredient.
This one review seems to be the only that’s written by someone without a vested interest in selling the product they’re reviewing.
It points out that not only is DMAA, one of the top ingredients in Vaso Blast flat out banned by the FDA due to dangerous side effects and deaths, but any supposedly “legit” reviews from customers are all straight from the Vaso Blast website.
This review also points out that no where can you find a standard ingredient label with a breakdown of the amount of each ingredient included.
So are you getting a safe or effective dose of L-Citruline, for example?
Who knows.
Another review also noted the murkiness around the company supposedly behind this product.
They point out how troubling it is that with no address, phone number, or any contact info to speak of, customers would be hard pressed to actually contact the manufacturers with any question or concerns.
To summarize?
Fake reviews abound, and the less-biased and scammy of the reviews we came across seemed to all hone in on a couple bottom-line troubling things about this product: A total lack of reviews from real human beings, other than those alleged customers probably completely fabricated by the makers of Vaso Blast themselves, the troubling presence of DMAA, and the wild goose chase of pinpointing the manufacturers.
Shark Tank Scam?
Earlier this year, word on the street was that Vaso Blast had been featured on the show Shark Tank, garnering praise from every single judge, and ultimately landing the biggest deal in Shark Tank history.
Fake “news” articles and photoshopped doctored images were a dime a dozen with this concocted story, which showed completely fictional “Fox News articles,” images of investors discussing the miracle product, and the likes.
They claim that two sisters, sometimes named Yoojin Kim and sometimes Anna and Samantha Martin, landed some huge deal on the show.
Read the above articles for a thorough debunking of this scam story.
Bottom line: Vaso Blast was never featured on Shark Tank, and this was yet another publicity move, designed to mislead and push product.
Conclusion
At first glance, Vaso Blast might appear to be the single greatest male enhancement supplement money can buy.
Glowing “customer testimonies,” totally natural ingredients, shocking results—what’s not to love?
The simple fact is the supplement industry as a whole is largely unregulated by the FDA, and the male enhancement niche is essentially the wild west—anyone can write any claim, glowing review, or promise, with zero science backing it up.
Vaso Blast is just the latest installment in a parade of snake-oil remedies meant to lure in men who will shell out any money at the promise of extra inches and satisfaction in the bedroom.
Not only will Vaso Blast not make give you a bigger penis—which no product can do—it could spell serious health concerns, due to the inclusion of an FDA-banned ingredient.
No amount of natural herbs and adaptogens ultimately can soften the blow of such a huge misstep—a downright dangerous one.
Bottom line?
Save your money, and your health, by avoiding this product.
Increasing your testosterone level doesn’t just allow you to pump heavier weights in the gym.
It also allows you to perform better in the bedroom.
There’s a reason why you woke up with a woody every morning during your teenage years, your T-levels are through the roof during that phase of development.
As you grow older, your body produces lower amounts of testosterone, making it harder for you to get quality erections.
Other negative results of low T-levels include:
Nervousness
Difficulty keeping fat off
Baldness
Low self-esteem
Fortunately for you, the days of you having to suffer in silence are long gone.
There are a wide range of testosterone boosters available on the market.
It is only a matter of finding the right brand that works for you.
What makes Max Robust Xtreme different from the competition?
Max Robust Extreme is a male supplement that boosts testosterone production.
It is manufactured by a company called Nathan’s Naturals.
Its manufacturers claim it will help you become stronger, larger, more powerful, and more ripped when used in combination with a well-structured weight-lifting routine.
Max Robust Xtreme does this by stimulating lean muscle growth and improving the endurance of your muscles, allowing you to get more reps in at the gym.
Unlike many of its competitors on the market, Max Robust Xtreme is an all-natural product.
There are no chemical additives, chemicals, or low-quality ingredients added.
That means you can enjoy the many amazing benefits of this male supplement without having to worry about unpleasant side effects.
Expect exponential muscle growth
One of the biggest benefits of taking Max Robust Xtreme is the massive muscle gains that supposedly come with it.
You can thank certain ingredients that stimulate the production of testosterone and nitric oxide for this.
These two compounds are essential for muscle growth and a deficiency in either will reduce the gains you get in the gym.
By taking this all-natural male supplement, you ensure that your nitric oxide and T-levels are up to par or even higher.
The more testosterone you have in your body, the more substantial the muscle growth you experience will be.
One thing that must be stressed about this product is the fact it isn’t some kind of magical muscle building pill.
You still need to put in work at the gym and follow a proper diet to enjoy significant gains.
How it all works
Earlier, we explored how Max Robust Xtreme worked by increasing your body’s testosterone and nitric oxide production.
To get a better understanding of what this supplement is and how it works, we will need to take a closer look at how these compounds help you build more lean muscle.
Nitric Oxide
This is a naturally occurring compound in your body.
It helps with vacillation and muscle development.
However, most men have natural nitric oxide levels that are too low to stimulate muscle growth, which is why nitric oxide supplements are so popular in supplement stores.
By increasing the dilation of your veins, your muscles get an increased flow of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients which are obviously essential for muscle growth.
The benefits of nitric oxide don’t stop there.
Having adequate levels also:
Speeds up the recovery process
Improves endurance
Increases energy
Lowers the fatigue you feel while lifting
Leads to more efficient use gluten
It is the combination of these benefits of nitric oxide – along with the T-level boosters – that lead to noticeably improved gains in the gym.
It is important that you consistently use this product on a daily basis so that you can keep your body’s nitric oxide at optimal levels.
Testosterone
This is universally considered to be one of the most important hormones for muscle development.
It’s also one of the hormones that your body produces less of as you age.
That is the reason why you hardly see pictures of muscle-bound old men from a few decades ago.
Back then, testosterone boosters were virtually unheard of.
What makes Max Robust Xtreme stick out from its competitors is the fact it boosts your testosterone levels using all-natural ingredients.
Another major difference is the fact there is no “loading” period with this supplement.
You begin to feel its effect the first day you take it.
Some of the other ingredients in this male supplement include:
Arginine Beta Alanine
Boron
Magnesium
Vitamin B6
Zinc
Each of these ingredients is extracted from naturally occurring forms, typically from plants.
The not so great side of Max Robust Xtreme
While the manufacturer of Max Robust Xtreme claims there are no negative side effects since it’s made from all-natural ingredients, Arginine is known to cause nausea in some when consumed regularly.
The manufacturers do not have enough concrete data available to back up all of their claims.
The labeling could be a lot better.
It takes a lot of research just to find out what the actual ingredients of the product are.
User reviews
Most users who have tried Max Robust Xtreme have had positive experiences.
Nowadays, it isn’t uncommon for firms to use paid reviews to boost the reputation of their product.
Simply browsing through work for hire sites reveals this truth.
That’s why we took the time to filter through the reviews so that we could narrow down the feedback that was left by genuine users who had actually tried the product.
Bodybuilding sites are very useful when you are on the hunt for this type of feedback since these are communities with users who are genuinely trying to figure out what the best supplements are.
One thing that quickly stuck out during our review was the fact most users had noticeable gains within only a weeks of using the product.
Something else that really stuck out was there was no one reporting any negative side effects.
That was particularly surprising given the fact the product contains Arginine which is known to cause nausea for some when consumed regularly.
The fact there were no users reporting feeling nauseated is a testament to how well blended the ingredients in this product are.
When it comes to the actual muscle gains users experienced, the results are mixed.
Some users reported gains without changing their workout routines, claiming to have added lean muscle and reduced their body fat at the same time.
A few claimed that Max Robust Xtreme is the first product that has actually helped them accomplish their fitness goals, while others claimed it allowed them to increase their lifts.
There were also many reviews that talked about the noticeably decreased recovery time they experienced while taking this male supplement.
Virtually every review said something about their improved sexual performance.
That’s the type of thing we normally notice when reviewing male enhancement products, not workout supplements.
Purchasing and Shipping
The only place you can purchase this supplement is on the official website.
When you order Max Robust Xtreme, you will be pleased to find out it comes with free shipping.
That is a huge break for people who do not live anywhere close to the Netherlands since international shipping costs can quickly add up.
The items are sent out using the Dutch Royal Mail which has many partners all over the world, allowing them to get shipments to international destinations.
You will be given information about how your order is being transported once it has been processed.
Generally speaking, your mail will be handed to your national postal service by the Dutch postal system.
If you don’t feel like waiting for your supplement to arrive, you have the option of having it sent by express mail.
Of course, you will be responsible for the shipping costs if you decide to go that route.
Your exact rate will vary depending on your geographical location.
To request expedited shipping, just contact customer service prior to placing your order on the site.
They will then provide you with additional details.
Safe order processing
When you make a purchase, your information is safeguarded by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.
That dramatically reduces the odds of your data being intercepted while you are making a purchase.
Of course, if you are paranoid about making international purchases online, you can always purchase a pre-paid Visa or MasterCard debit card at your local grocery store.
That way, there’s no need to even worry about your personal information being stolen by would-be hackers in the first place.
Professional customer service teams
The Max Robust Xtreme is located in the Netherlands.
Users are instructed to voice their comments, questions, and complaints via email.
While there are more efficient ways of handling customer feedback than email messages, most reviews indicate the company’s customer service team is very responsive.
You can expect to get a response to your message within 24 hours for the most part.
The customer service team can be a lifesaver if there are any issues with your order as they have the ability to change any information that is wrong.
Max Robust Xtreme does not currently sponsor any professional team, so there are no additional places to go if you are looking for more information about the product and the results those who have used it have experienced.
Then, there’s the fact there is no forum on the website where users can share their experiences and workout tips with one another.
It’s a relatively simple thing that could have been done to improve user experience.
Sure, there is lots of useful information about the product on the website, but it could have been better organized.
There’s also room for improvement when it comes to how the information on the website is laid out.
A lot more could be done to clear up the lack of information about what the actual ingredients are, and it would also be nice to have some actual data on performance tests conducted by the company.
That would go a long way in terms of showing people exactly what the product does.
Money-back Guarantee
Another great thing we noticed during our Max Robust Extreme Review is the 30-day risk-free trial period.
That’s right, you have 30 days to try the product, and if you decide to return it for any reason whatsoever, you get all of your money back, minus shipping and handling costs.
That is a rare policy to have in the supplement industry since it’s a lot laxer than what you will find with many of its competitors.
Refunds are processed by a company called Nathan Naturals which is affiliated with the British manufacturer, Nathans Natural.
The return process is very straightforward.
The first thing you should do is contact the company to notify them that you will be making a return.
You will receive an email shortly after stating your refund is being processed.
You will also be given an address where you should send the remaining product.
Make sure you use registered mail for this so that you have proof you returned the supplements.
That ensures you are covered if the product ends up getting lost in the mail.
Wrapping up
Max Robust Xtreme is an excellent product to use if you are ready to get the most out of your workouts.
It is a nitric oxide supplement that includes well-known ingredients that do provide the results the manufacturer claims.
Having a clearer picture of what the other ingredients are would have been a plus, but, of course, there’s the issue of intellectual copyrights so it isn’t that surprising that the manufacturer would like to keep some of these ingredients a secret.
The product is sold out of the Netherlands, so make sure you use a browser like Chrome that allows you to translate the text into your preferred language.
You will notice a difference the first day you take it, and it comes with a risk-free trial.
It can also be used with creatine supplements for maximum gains.
As I’ve discussed several times on this site, male enhancement pills can be divided up into 2 categories.
Category 1: Involves pills that are designed to work over time.
You take them for several weeks / months, and over time the results gradually build up.
Vigrx Plus is a perfect example of this, and is actually the best overall pill I’ve ever tested.
The benefit to this is, while it’s a pain in the ass to have to take them everyday, once they kick in you can basically generate an erection “on-demand”.
Category 2:Involves pills that are designed to work FAST.
There’s no waiting around for it to kick in, you just take the pills when you’re planning on having sex (hence the name “sex pills“), and they start working immediately.
I’ve always preferred slow acting male enhancement pills to fast acting ones for a variety of reasons:
1.) While they usually do work, they often give you a TON of side effects.
2.) With fast acting enhancers, you have to remember to take them. This usually eliminates spontaneous sexual encounters.
3.) Slow acting male enhancement pills tend to be cheaper on a per-pill basis.
With all of that said, there are a good percentage of guys out there that are simply looking for something they can take on an as-needed basis.
Here are the 4 best pills to get you hard fast that I’ve personally tested.

If you’re looking for a REAL solution to your ED issues, check out the guys over at Hims.
They sell a highly effective erectile dysfunction tablet that is by FAR the best ED remedy on the market.
Click Here to read my full review of Extenze. I’ve written about Extenze pretty extensively on this site.
I’ve probably been taking it on and off for the last 6 years, and it is by FAR one of the best fast acting male enhancement pills I’ve ever used.
Unlike Vigrx Plus, which can take several hours to kick in, Extenze starts working in about 30 minutes.
It can actually work even faster if you have a high metabolism or take it on an empty stomach.
The principle ingredients behind Extenze that make it work so quick are a combo of L-Arginine and Yohimbe, 2 ingredients that are found in a ton of other male enhancement pills that work fast.
Click Here for a snapshot of the Extenze Plus label.
The combination of L-Arginine and Yohimbe has actually been clinically studied and proven effective to help with erectile dysfunction issues. (Study 1, Study 2)
However, in most cases, some of these other supplements either put too little L-Arginine OR too much Yohimbe in their products.
The upside to this is that they work well.
The downside is, most often the side effects make it not even worth taking. This isn’t the case with Extenze.
Extenze uses just the right combination of L-Arginine and yohimbe to give you a smooth erection, without the unnecessary side effects.
You can purchase Extenze online on their official website, www.BuyExtenze.com.
A 1-month supply retails for $49.95, but as I mention below, this can actually last you way longer if you’re not taking it every day (which I recommend you don’t).
You can save a bit of money if you decide to purchase a larger quantity. For example, if you buy a 3-month supply, the total comes out to $124.95, which is a savings of $25.
If you opt for the 6-month supply, you’ll save $50. The more you order, the more you’ll save.
One Quick Note
If you look on the label, or even on their official site, they say you need to take it once a day.
I’ve had literally 1,000’s of guys ask me about this, and the simple answer is no, you don’t have to take it everyday.
Can you take it everyday?
If you want a raging boner everyday, then yes, have at it.
But can you just take it when you need it.Yes, and as a matter of fact, I’ve noticed that it tends to build up a tolerance if you take it every day.
#2 – Hardon Helper
Hardon Helper is NO LONGER IN BUSINESS!
Click Here to read my review of Blue Chew, an effective erectile dysfunction tablet that is by FAR the best ED remedy on the market.
This supplement literally came out of nowhere.
You won’t find it in stores like GNC, Walmart, Walgreens, or even gas stations (at least not yet).
I was actually contacted by the guys over at Hardon Helper back in November of 2017.
They sent me an email asking if I would like to try out their product, so I said sure go ahead and send them over.
Keep in mind that I get a TON of these supplements sent to me, and in most cases I never get a chance to try it out.
In fact, it was sitting on one of my many big boxes of supplements for a couple of months.
Just a few of the samples we’ve received.
One day I just said f#$k it and decided to take one of the pills.
What followed was one of the BEST erections I’ve had in years.
The funny thing about Hardon Helper was, while it kicked in relatively quickly, it didn’t actually hit me until about 2 hours after I took it.
I happened to be in the gym doing a squat workout, when all of a sudden out of nowhere I got this massive erection.
When I say massive I mean MASSIVE erection.
It was the kind of erection that you get when you were in your 10th grade math class, and then the teacher asks you to come up to the board to solve the problem.
Yeah, that kind… 🙂
I actually had to do a sort of ninja-like tuck into my pants so noone in the gym would see it, it was that bad.
Then, on my way home from the gym it hit me again.
All I can say is, I rubbed one out as fast as I could when I got home, and it was one of the most pleasurable experiences I’ve had in a long time.
So What’s In Hardon Helper That Makes It So Effective?
Rhino 7 is a product that I tested out a few years back, and I can tell you from experience that it’s definitely one of the fastest male enhancers on the market.
One thing I did notice when I took it was, it felt suspiciously like I took a Viagra pill.
Why do I say this?
Well, because I indeed got a great erection and improved libido.
HOWEVER, I also got had a ridiculously bad headache, felt like I had a cold, and got this weird tingly feeling throughout my body.
No Headache My A$$!
Do you want to know why this was the case?
Well, it turns out that nearly ALL of the Rhino products contain a hidden ingredient called Sildenafil. (Source)
Do you know what the active ingredient in Viagra is?
And do you know what the chief side effects of Viagra are?
That’s right: flushing, headaches, and runny or stuffy nose. (Source)
You can find Rhino 7 in gas stations, as well as online, but the FDA released a voluntary recall of the product after it was found to contain sildenafil.
Is it worth taking it?
That really depends on your individual body chemistry.
If you have heart or blood pressure issues, it can be VERY dangerous to take drugs like Sildenafil. (Source)
Check with your doctor if you’re unsure.
Where can I buy Rhino 7?
Despite the FDA warning, I’ve seen ALL of the Rhino brands for sale in gas stations.
I’ve seen it in Shell, Exxon, BP, Chevron, Flying J, Marathon, Pilot, Sunoco, and Getty.
However, you will not find it in the big chain stores like Walmart, so don’t even bother looking there.
You can also find it on Amazon, where it’s literally sold for a penny.
Of course, you will pay a much higher price for shipping, but it’s still cheaper than Hardon Helper.
Click Here to read my full review of 72HP. This is another fast acting natural ed pill, that REALLY is all natural unlike Rhino 7. Unlike Extenze, we don’t really know what the ingredients are in this supplement. The label says it contains:
Korean Ginseng
Tribulus Terrestris
Cinnamon bark powder
Ginkgo Biloba
Proprietary blend
The “proprietary blend” is just that, proprietary.
That means we don’t know what’s in it.
However, I can tell you from experience that it really does work, and it REALLY is all natural.
I know this because I can tell when a supplement contains a synthetic ingredient like Tadalfil or Sildenafil.
Just like with Hardon Helper, it seems to take a bit longer to fully kick in.
The label says to take 1 capsule 30 minutes prior to sex, but to be on the safe side I would recommend you take it AT LEAST 2 hours before, if not longer.
It still works WAY faster than slow acting supplements like Virectin and Anaconda XL, and better than them as well.
Frequently Asked Questions

If you haven’t heard of intermittent fasting then you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years.
Celebrated as a safe and effective way to increase weight loss while improving overall health, intermittent fasting has become the subject of the question:
Can intermittent fasting be a potential way to increase testosterone levels?
Let’s review what intermittent fasting is, benefits of intermittent fasting, and what science has to say about intermittent fasting increasing your testosterone levels.
Alternatively, men who continued to fast after sunset saw a decrease in testosterone.
In that same study, women saw decreases in testosterone and researchers suggested that fasting may be an ideal way for women with high testosterone levels to decrease their t-levels.
In short, there were a variety of factors at play here, including the fasting taking part as a part of a holiday and not a daily routine.
The numerous variables make it difficult to determine the exact cause of the small and temporary boost in t-levels.
A very recent study published in the Journal of Translational Medicine placed resistance trained men on the 16:8 fasting schedule.
At the conclusion of the study, all subjects had lower levels of testosterone and IGF-1. The bright side of the study was that subjects did not lose any muscle tissue. (6-8)
Intermittent fasting is a way of timing your meals to maximize the benefits associated with the act of refraining from eating for a specific period of time.
Intermittent fasting isn’t about randomly avoiding food for a few hours then eating at sporadic times; rather, it is a set schedule of fasting with a feeding window.
There are two common types of intermittent fasting that have been getting a lot of positive attention in the fitness industry.
The 16:8 schedule requires you to fast for 16 hours each day and then follow your normal diet during an 8-hour feeding window.
For those who are just starting out with intermittent fasting, there is the option of performing the 16:8 schedule five days per week, eventually moving up to fasting every day of the week.
While you can begin your feeding window at a time most convenient for you, most practitioners of intermittent fasting find it to be easiest to begin their fast at 8 p.m. and conclude the fast at 12 p.m. the next day.
From 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., you would have the opportunity to eat.
Once your feeding window expires, you would begin fasting again.
During your fast, you are allowed to drink water and calorie-free beverages such as black coffee and tea.
Studies have demonstrated that the 16:8 schedule is an effective way to increase fat loss, maintain muscle mass, and improve certain health markers such as cardiovascular health. Below, I’ll expand more on these benefits and what happened to testosterone levels.
As the name implies, you refrain from consuming calories for an entire 24-hour period.
Normally, this type of fast would be performed once or twice per week.
While this may seem easier than the 16:8 schedule, many beginners find it difficult to abstain from food for an entire day and then have to make it through the night without food.
This is why I recommend starting with the 16:8 schedule, allowing your body to adjust to fasting, then trying the 24-hour schedule.
Just like with the 16:8 schedule, you can begin your 24-hour fast at any point but most begin at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m.
You would not consume any calories during this time except for water and calorie-free beverages such as black coffee and tea.
Once 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. arrives again, follow your normal diet.
Studies have demonstrated that using the 24-hour schedule is a great way to promote a healthy weight management while reducing certain cardiovascular risk factors such as high cholesterol.
It should be noted that researchers mentioned how it would be equally as effective to simply cut your calories every day as opposed to abstaining from eating for a 24-hour period.
Let’s jump into more details about the benefits of intermittent fasting.
If there is one benefit of intermittent fasting that has been proven time and time again, it’s fat loss.
Whether you’re following a 16:8 schedule or fasting for 24 hours, both meal timing methods have been shown in a variety of animal and human-based studies to be effective at decreasing body fat.
During intermittent fasting, the body switches over to using stored fat as fuel as opposed to important fuel sources such as muscle glycogen. (1–2)
EPOC Levels
Continuing with the idea above, performing a fasted workout has been shown to be incredibly effective at utilizing stored body fat for energy.
Combining intermittent fasting with high intensity interval training can also help to spike EPOC (excess post oxygen consumption) levels.
After exercise, your body has an oxygen debt that it must restore.
In order to do so, it needs to continue burning calories and fat.
The greater your EPOC levels, the more calories you’ll burn. (1-2)
Muscle Building
Worried about burning too many calories and losing lean muscle mass? Don’t be.
Studies show that intermittent fasting triggers fat loss without the risk of losing muscle mass.
What’s more, intermittent fasting may be an excellent way to promote lean muscle gains due to its anti-catabolic properties and spiking of growth hormone levels. (9)
Inflammation
Interestingly, intermittent fasting has been shown to be an anti-inflammatory agent, helping to reduce disease causing inflammation throughout the body.
What’s more, it is suggested that intermittent fasting may reduce inflammation and therefore spike recovery rates post-workout. (3)
Brain Health
Intermittent fasting has also been shown to support brain health. Abstaining from food for 16 to 24 hours, depending on the schedule you choose, may be able to boost brain health and dramatically decrease the risk of illnesses such as Alzheimer’s. (4)
Longevity
Continuing with the idea above, intermittent fasting may significantly lower your risk for a number of diseases including cardiovascular disease and heart disease. (5)
While intermittent fasting does present an impressive set of health benefits outside of testosterone, for women these benefits may come at a cost.
One concern that experts agree on is how intermittent fasting can impact the hormonal levels and fertility cycles of women. Studies show that fasting can disrupt hormonal levels to the point where women begin missing their menstrual cycles and this is a big problem, especially if you’re a woman who wants children in the future.
Let’s say that you’re a woman who has no plans to have kids, intermittent fasting may still not be for you because of the potential hormonal disruptions.
For example, a significant drop in estrogen can seriously impact your mood, metabolic rate, and overall health.
With all that said, women can utilize intermittent fasting but perhaps not the systems that I mentioned above.
There is another fasting methodology that is considered fasting but does not involve cutting out all foods for a specific amount of time.
Rather, your day will be based on very low calorie consumption.
The 5:2 intermittent fasting system involves eating normally for five days a week and eating a very low-calorie diet for two consecutive days per week.
On the two days you eat fewer calories, you want to consume around 600 calories. Time is not an issue.
You can consume those calories in one big meal; however, must people find that it is easier to break up the calories into three 200 calorie meals.
Intermittent Fasting and Testosterone: The Bottom Line
Due to the conflicting research that is out there, I cannot confidently say that intermittent fasting is effective at increasing testosterone on a long-term basis.
It may increase fat loss and protect muscle mass but if your goal is testosterone then it may not be effective.
With that said, using intermittent fasting in conjunction with testosterone boosting activities such as heavy weight lifting and using testosterone supplements may allow you to reap the benefits of fat loss, muscle building, and testosterone boosting.

UPDATE:Hardon Helper is closed for business! I just received word that, effective immediately, they will be ceasing operations and are no longer selling their product.
I plan on writing a full article on what happened, and will post it soon.
Unfortunately, sometimes in the world of male enhancement supplements there can be a fairly big turnaround in brands and products on the market many simply not able to stick around for one reason or another.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for a REAL solution to your ED issues, check out a pill called Blue Chew.
When a representative of Hardon Helper contacted Supplement Critique a couple of weeks ago and asked if they could send their product over for review, I said sure.
But I wasn’t getting my hopes up…
I’ve been testing male enhancementand otc viagra products for probably about 6 years now, and I can tell you from experience that the vast majority of them are complete garbage.
When I say vast majority, I mean somewhere in the 90 – 95% range.
It’s disappointing, but true.
So when I got my package of Dr. Seltzers Hardon Helper sometime last week, I threw it on top of my BINS full of sexual enhancement supplements that I’ve been sent over the years.
It almost got to the point of collecting a decent amount of dust when for some reason it just caught my eye.
I’m not sure what it was about it…
It could have been the fact that my sex life has seen a slight decline over the last 6 months or so, which I’ve attributed to low testosterone.
It could have been the “No Headaches” imprinted right on the front of the package, which I’ve seen countless times whose #1 side effect was….
You guessed it, HEADACHES!
Something about it was calling out to me to give it a shot.
So I did, and holy s$%t am I glad I did.
I’ll get to my review in a little bit, let’s talk first about the product.

What is Dr. Seltzers Hardon Helper?
According to the website, Hardon Helper does exactly what you would think it would judging by its name.
It helps you get a hardon!
It’s a fast acting sexual performance supplement that claims to help with premature ejaculation, sexual stamina, hard erections, and increasing sexual desire.
The homepage is a bit short on info, but from the label you can see here it contains the following natural ingredients:
120 mg of Epimedium Leaf
70 mg of Red Ginseng
70 mg American Ginseng
40 mg of Wild Yam
40 mg of Wolfberry Fruit
30 mg of Rou Cong Rong
30 mg of Chinese Raspberry
20 mg of Gordon Euryale Seed
20 mg of Schisandra Fruit
15 mg of Poria
15 mg of Longan Aril
30 mg of Xylitol
Click Here to see a picture of the ingredients label.
The packaging label doesn’t mention it, but they actually break down exactly how many mg of each ingredient there is for each ingredient.
Most of the time this information in sexual wellness supplements is hidden behind a “proprietary formula”, which is a fancy way of saying we’re not telling you what’s in this stuff.
Up until this point, I have to be honest I hadn’t heard of most of these ingredients.
I mean, I’ve seen Epimedium, Red Ginseng, American Ginseng, Horny Goat weed, and even Wild Yam in a few male enhancers I’ve tested over the years.
But what the hell is Rou Cong Rong?
And Longan Aril?
Never heard of these before, so I started digging and this is what I found out:
Wolfberry Fruit: This is basically a fancy name for Goji berries, a substance that is abundant in macronutrients, micronutrients, and antioxidants. It has abundant benefits, including cardiovascular protection, diabetes prevention, and even may help improve semen and sperm quality, which is no doubt why it was added to the Hardon Helper formula. Studies have also suggested that Goji berry may help with subjective feelings of well being, mood, and may also improve neurologic and phsychologic performance.
Rou Cong Rong: This is a chinese herb that may help with a wide variety of issues, including improvement in brain function, boosted immune system, and you guessed it, aphrodisiac qualities. In fact, one study concluded that Rou Cong Rong could increase the sex hormone levels by inducing testicular steroidogenic enzymes. That same study also noted that C. tubulosa also possesses vaso-relaxing activity, which results in increased blood flow during erections.
Chinese Raspberry: This is a subspecies of goldenleaf raspberry, which is native to China. The website Acupuncture Today notes that Chinese Raspberry contains high levels of carbohydrates and Vitamin C, both of which have been shown to impove visual acuity and blurry vision, as well as help with frequent urination.
Gordon Euryale Seed: The benefits of Gordon Euryale Seed, sometimes referred to as Euryale Ferox, are numerous. It’s been shown to help with vitality, weight loss, youthful looking skin, and even life extension. This ancient chinese remedy, which looks similar to an almond, has no smell and only a slight flavor.
Schisandra Fruit: Schisandra is a fruit that has been used for hundreds of years to help increase physical performance and endurance, and also works as a very potent aphrodisiac. (Source)
Poria: Considered a fungus, Poria has numerous uses, including memory loss, sleep problems, dizziness, and you guessed it, erectile function. (Source)
Longan Aril: This Chinese herb, which is derived from the Logan tree, is native to southeast Asia and has aphrodisiac qualities.
Xylitol: Looks and tastes like sugar, but has WAY fewer calories and doesn’t have any effect on blood sugar levels. I couldn’t find any information on how exactly it’s supposed to help with sexual function, but my guess is it may have been added as a filler.
Who is Dr. Seltzer?
There’s actually a pretty interesting story behind this guy.
He actually got his start by developing (and ultimately selling off) a product called the Hangover Helper.
The Hangover Helper was just that….a supplement designed to help lessen the effects of a hangover!
According to his official website, he was sitting around drinking with some buddies when he came up with the idea of producing and marketing a supplement that would help to relieve the symptoms of a hangover.
As a result, Hangover Helper was formed.
After selling it off for an undisclosed amount to a company called Rexall Drugs, he decided to move to South America to pursue his REAL interest….Women.
While he was there, he realized that he wasn’t getting any younger, and decided to start experimenting with various types of natural herbs to help his buddy “stand at attention” again.
As a result, the Hardon Helper was born.
My Personal Results
As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been having some minor issues with not being able to get a decent erection for the last 6 months or so.
I had my testosterone levels checked last month, and my free testosterone levels were a whopping 20% lower than they were less than 4 years ago, which was the last time I had them tested.
This is where they were at in 2014:
And here’s where they were at last October:
I don’t think I have to tell you that my libido has suffered as a result.
I’m not a huge fan of prescription medications, but the thought crossed my mind that maybe I should go to my doctor and tell her what’s up.
Right around this time is when I was contacted by Tim, who’s the operations manager over at Hardon Helper.
At first glance, I have to admit I wasn’t terribly impressed by their site and the product overall.
I’ve seen a lot of companies selling boner pills come and go, and most of the time their product didn’t do a damn thing.
In any event, I had a choice to make…
Do I bite the bullet and go to my doctor and tell her I’m having problems “down there”?
Or do I try and find something all natural to fix the problem?
The guys over at Hardon Helper sent me over a box of like 24 pills, and like I mentioned earlier, it sat collecting dust for a good month or so.
Then one day it hit me…
I said f$%k it and decided to try one.
I didn’t think anything of it for the rest of the day, and decided to hit up the gym for a mid afternoon workout.
Then it hit me….
I was in the middle of doing squats and right as I was finishing up my 3rd or 4th set, I started getting this massive erection.
When I say massive I mean a MASSIVE boner.
I had to kind of tilt away from the rest of gym and sort of tuck it under the top of my underwear so it wouldn’t be so obvious.
The thought crossed my mind about heading in the bathroom real quick to, uh, get rid of the boner.
But thought that was a bit nasty, so I decided against it.
I continued through my workout for the next 30 minutes or so, and thankfully it started to subside a bit.
Then, on the drive home, BOOM it hit me again.
MASSIVE erection, blood flow like you couldn’t believe.
I literally walked in the door, went straight to my office, and rubbed one out.
I can say with 120% certainty that it was one of the most massive orgasms I’ve had in a REALLY long time.
Fast forward about 2 hours later, and my wife gets home from a late afternoon Orange Theory class, looking pretty damn sexy in her yoga pants and tank top.
Within 5 minutes, BOOM, another Massive erection.
Since I’m sort of a clean freak, she ended up taking a shower and I waited (naked of course) in our bed.
Normally, I need to keep “pleasuring myself” in order to hold the erection, but this was NOT the case.
The boner just stayed there the whole time, I felt like I was an 18 year old looking through his older brothers porn collection again!
What followed was one of the most pleasurable sexual experiences I’ve had in years.
Does it REALLY last for days?
The label states that it 1 capsule will start working in 1 – 2 hours, and they also mention that it will last for days.
In my personal experience, Hardon Helper seemed to work for about a day and a half.
I would attribute this to a relatively fast metabolism, and also to the fact that I drink a TON of water everyday, so it likely got washed out of my system pretty quickly.
Some guys who use it may experience a much longer effect, but of course this will vary with each and every individual.
On that note, I would recommend you drink plenty of water. For whatever reason, it seems to dry me out a bit more so than any other male enhancement supplement I’ve ever tested.
Where To Buy Hardon Helper
Hardon Helper is no longer for sale! Will be updating this review shortly.
A single pack costs $9.99, and they offer discounts for larger orders:
6 Pack for $47.94, which breaks down to $7.99 each.
8 Pack for $55.92, which breaks down to $6.99 each.
12 Pack for $71.88, which breaks down to $5.99 each.
Obviously I’d recommend the larger order so you can save the money, but if you’re on the fence, just go with the single pack.
It’s $10, and you won’t be disappointed, TRUST ME!
Also, it’s worth noting that Hardon Helper is shipped discreetly.
It literally sales “Dr. Seltzer LLC” on the return address, so noone will know what’s inside of the package.
You can also find Hardon Helper in some Adam and Eve physical locations, but only in Florida as far as I’m aware.
Unfortunately, Hardon Helper is only sold in the US at this time. They were selling internationally, but packages apparently were getting held up in customs.
If things change I’ll update this review accordingly.

Pros and Cons of Hardon Helper
Pros
Works UNBELIEVABLY well at increasing sexual stamina, probably the best fast acting enhancing supplement I’ve ever tested (even when compared to Extenze, my usual go-to)
I didn’t experience ANYside effects
They break down the EXACT amounts of each ingredient, something almost NO ONE else does
Priced modestly when compared to other fast acting supplements I’ve tested
I can confirm that they are likely NOTpumping any illegal ingredients into it
The product ratings on Amazon are very favorable
Cons
Isn’t available in stores
Not a ton of information available on it, apart from their website
It’s only available in the US
Not evaluated by the food and drug administration (FDA). No supplement it.
Recommendation
I’ve been trying to find a decent fast acting, single use hard erection pill like this for a long time.
Sure, I’ve tried a bunch of other otc viagra pills like Rhino 7, Rhino 69, and Black Ant Pills, and they DO “work”.
However, almost every SINGLE one that I’ve tested over the years that “worked” ended up being recalled because they were caught injecting Sildenafil (which is the active ingredient in Viagra) into their products.
They were NOT using all natural ingredients, but rather synthetic drugs to make their product work.
If I wanted Viagra, I would have gone to my doctor!
While it didn’t seem to help much in the premature ejaculation department, Hardon Helper was just truly amazing.
I can say with 100% confidence that it’s easily the best enhancing supplement I’ve ever used.
I plan on stocking up on this stuff before they run out, because I guarantee you, once the public catches on to this it will sell out faster than a $20 hooker at a Navy Port.
Saw palmetto is often found in many commercial testosterone boosters but there is a clear divide by many in the fitness industry as to whether or not it should be used to increase t-levels.
While studies have shown that saw palmetto may be beneficial for men’s health, there is the question of whether or not it can be used as an effective testosterone booster.
Let’s take a look at what saw palmetto is, where it comes from, and what the science says about its reported benefits.
What is Saw Palmetto?
The supplement form of saw palmetto is an extract of the fruit with the same name.
Saw palmetto is a popular supplement that is marketed as a way to improve prostate health in a safer way than commercial prescription strength medications such as finasteride, which is known to cause several side effects.
Health Benefits of Saw Palmetto
Before I discuss the potential benefits as they relate to boosting your testosterone levels, let’s take a look at some other ways that saw palmetto may be able to better your health.
May Improve Prostate Health
In particular, saw palmetto supplements are commonly used by men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, more commonly referred to as an enlarged prostate.
Men with prostate cancer also take saw palmetto, which I’ll talk more about below.
Studies show that saw palmetto is able to block the conversion of testosterone into its far more androgenic counterpart dihydrotestosterone.
DHT has been linked to several male androgen issues including balding and an enlarged prostate. (1, 3)
May Decrease Risk of Prostate Cancer
Studies are still not in complete agreement about this but some experts believe that saw palmetto is able to reduce the risk for prostate cancer.
As mentioned above, testosterone is converted into DHT, which is suggested to play a part in the development of an enlarged prostate as well as prostate cancer.
Some studies show that since saw palmetto is able to block the conversion of testosterone into DHT, it may be able to decrease the risk of prostate cancer. (2, 3)
May Boost Urinary Tract Health
Most men who have an enlarged prostate suffer from difficulty urinating and needing to urinate more frequently.
Saw palmetto has been found in several studies to be a natural and effective way to decrease the frequency of urination.
It’s also been shown to support the urinary tract, allowing men to urinate normally. (4)
May Stop Hair Loss
When you visit your dermatologist at the first signs of balding, the doctor is going to write you a prescription for a DHT-blocker, typically finasteride or minoxidil.
The brands you’d recognize from these medications are Proscar and Rogaine.
While both have been found to be successful at halting hair loss, they also come with a longer list of potential side effects.
Saw palmetto is a natural alternative to these costly medications.
Saw palmetto has been shown to block the conversion of testosterone into DHT, which has been linked to male and female pattern baldness. (1)
Clinical Studies of Saw Palmetto and Testosterone
While saw palmetto clearly has benefits that are specific to men, what impact does it have on testosterone levels?
As discussed above, we know that saw palmetto can effectively block testosterone from being converted into DHT.
The more DHT you have, the greater your chances for hair loss, enlarged prostate, and urinary tract issues.
In theory, if testosterone isn’t converted into DHT, you should have higher levels or at least healthy levels of testosterone.
Does the science back this up?
In a study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, saw palmetto successfully increased testosterone levels while decreasing DHT levels.
What’s unique about this study is that it demonstrated that the usage of saw palmetto is not dose dependent.
In other words, you will get the same results if you use 1,000 mg compared to 2,000 mg. This makes it an affordable and effective way to support testosterone levels. (5)
In another study published in Prostate, this human-based study surrounding prescription DHT-blockers demonstrated a correlation between stopping the conversion of testosterone into DHT and higher levels of total testosterone in the body.
Since saw palmetto captures the same benefits of prescription DHT-blockers without the side effects, it is an excellent choice for a natural and effective way to increase testosterone levels. (6)
Does Saw Palmetto Decrease Testosterone?
No, saw palmetto does not decrease testosterone levels in men. It does prohibit the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, allowing you to avoid DHT-based conditions such as hair loss and an enlarged prostate while supporting healthy t-levels.
What are the side effects of Saw Palmetto?
Side effects of saw palmetto are rare.
The side effects that you’re most likely to experience are the following:
Dizziness
Headache
Nausea
Vomiting
Constipation
Diarrhea
Isn’t Blocking DHT a Bad Thing?
One of the primary reasons that many anabolic focused websites and resources swear off saw palmetto is due to the fact that is blocks DHT production.
DHT is more anabolic and androgenic than testosterone; however, this comes at a price.
High levels of DHT have been associated with hair loss, an enlarged prostate, urinary tract complications, and a higher risk for prostate cancer.
Testosterone, on the other hand, has not been linked to any of those conditions.
Also, just because you have higher levels of an androgen in your body doesn’t mean you’ll look like a bodybuilder overnight.
Higher levels of DHT may be useful for guys who are actively chasing after muscle building but, again, it’s not guaranteed.
Decreasing your levels of DHT to support healthier levels of testosterone shouldn’t be viewed as a negative.
You’ll have more hair, a healthier prostate, and the same chance at building muscle mass.
A decrease in DHT will not impact muscle building; however, having low testosterone levels will.
Saw Palmetto and Testosterone – The Bottom Line
If you want a natural way to support testosterone levels while avoiding androgen-based side effects from DHT, saw palmetto is the way to go.
Don’t listen to the bro-science about how a slight decrease in DHT will kill your gains.
With more testosterone and slightly less DHT, you’ll still be able to build serious muscle in the gym and you’ll have more hair to show for it.

Alpha Maxx is a male enhancement supplement made by Biosciences Nutritios and sold on Amazon.com and other online retail websites.
Promising to improve satisfaction and the overall sexual experience for both partners, it claims to work both immediately and over the longer term period.
We took a detailed look into the formula, the price, and a wide array of customer feedback to determine whether or not Alpha Maxx is a product you can feel good about purchasing and using.
Alpha Maxx Benefits
In this respect, Alpha Maxx is similar to most products of its kind.
By taking it regularly, you’ll improve both overall and sexual health, with particular emphasis on:
Boosted libido.
Increased natural testosterone production.
Bigger, harder erections.
Lasting energy and stamina.
How Alpha Maxx Works
Alpha Maxx focuses on three main areas of improvement – Testosterone, Nitric Oxide, and Aphrodisiacs.
As men get older, our bodies produce less testosterone than they did when we were younger.
Less testosterone translates into less energy, less vitality, reduced sex drive, and sometimes even difficulty getting and maintaining erections.
Some of the ingredients in the Alpha Maxx formula are aimed at increasing your body’s natural testosterone.
We’ll talk a little more in the ingredients section about how this actually works.
Nitric Oxide is a chemical made within your body.
It opens up blood vessels, increasing the amount of blood that flows through.
This is important to healthy, strong erections since essentially what an erection is is blood rushing into the penile tissue.
The more blood that enters and stays there, the better your erection.
Aphrodisiacs increase your libido and drive, producing obvious benefits to your sex life.
Alpha Maxx Ingredients
The Alpha Maxx formula is made up of 17 ingredients, some of which make up a proprietary blend.
The 4 individually listed ingredients are:
Tongkat Ali (400 mg) which is believed to increase the amount of free testosterone in your body by inhibiting the action of SHBG, which binds itself to free testosterone, making it effectively useless.
Maca Root Extract (250 mg) which is an ancient herbal aphrodisiac from Brazil, long used to increase libido and improve mood.
L-Arginine (250 mg) which is a precursor to nitric oxide, which as we explained above, opens up blood vessels so more blood can flow through for better erections.
Ginseng (125mg) which boosts energy and like l-arginine, may improve blood flow.
The remainder of the ingredients are all found in a 745 mg proprietary blend.
They include:
Sarsaparilla which may contain chemicals that can be converted to testosterone in the body.
According to WebMD, however, this has not been proven.
Pumpkin Seed which contains several minerals (zinc and magnesium in particular) that are crucial to the body’s testosterone production process.
Muira Puamawhich is known as an herbal aphrodisiac.
Oat Straw which is believed to increase free testosterone levels.
Nettle which supports the health of the prostate.
It used to be believed to help improve testosterone levels as well, but this is no longer the case
Cayenne Pepper which improves circulation in much the same way as nitric oxide, leading to better erections.
Astragalus which may support healthy testosterone levels.
Catuaba Bark which is another herbal aphrodisiac, commonly used to boost libido.
Licorice which depending on who you believe can either increase or decrease testosterone levels.
Tribulus Terrestris which has long been believed to increase the body’s natural production of testosterone.
While scientific evidence doesn’t support this, it does support its effectiveness in the male enhancement arena. (LINK TO )
Orchic Substance which comes from the testicles of bulls and is believed to increase testosterone.
Oyster Extract which contains an abundance of zinc, used by the body in the chemical process of testosterone production.
Boronwhich has been shown to increase testosterone levels in rats, but the studies have not been successfully repeated in humans.
The Alpha Maxx formula is a lot like that of many of the supplements we test.
It contains a well rounded list of components that may very well improve your sexual experience.
On the other hand, the ingredients amounts within the formula may not be at high enough levels to be effective. Take Maca Root Extract, for instance.
The daily dose within Alpha Maxx is 250 mg, while the standard recommended daily dose is between 1500-3000 mg.
This is a big difference and likely means that you won’t achieve the full potential benefit of the Maca in the formula.
L-Argnine is another striking example.
The daily recommended dose for erectile dysfunction is between 3 and 5 grams per day, which Alpha Maxx delivers just 250 mg per day.
The 745 mg proprietary blend is made up of 13 different ingredients, making it a strong likelihood that some of the components come up short as well.
Alpha Maxx Customer Feedback
Alpha Maxx is sold on Amazon, and that means Amazon customer reviews.
At the time of this writing, the count is at a whopping 572 reviews, with an average of 3 ½ stars.
Here’s how that breaks down:
As is often the case, this is a love/hate set of reviews, the vast majority being either very much in favor of the product or very much against it.
When we see this type of breakdown, it’s important to drill deeper and see what it is about Alpha Maxx that customers are loving or hating.
A look at the 5-star reviews shows most of them are short and sweet, simply saying that the product works as expected:
You’ll note that most of these 5 star reviews come from “Verified Purchases” meaning that the people who submitted the reviews are verified to have actually purchased the product.
The 1-Star reviews are very similar in that they are also short and to the point, mainly just simply stating that it did not work as expected.
These are also verified purchases:
This disparity in customer results is actually very typical.
Certainly no supplement can work for everyone.
There are lots of different causes for erectile and sexual dysfunction, so it stands to reason that one supplement would not necessarily have the ability to address them all.
A customer’s perception is also often based largely on their expectations of the product.
Since most of the reviews we’ve seen are from verified purchasers, we’ll assume they’re valid and chalk up the differences to “you can’t please all the people all the time”.
Where to Buy
As we’ve noted, you can purchase Alpha Maxx through Amazon.
A one-time purchase of a single bottle containing a one month supply costs $21.95, which is at the low end of the range of this type of product.Also available is the “Subscribe and Save” option price which requires a monthly commitment and costs $20.85 per month.
Currently, Amazon is the primary distributor of all Bioscience Nutrition products.There appears to be a website in the works, but at this time, it’s listed as “under construction”.
I’ve also seen Alpha Maxx being sold at eBay for about $25 a bottle.
Alpha Maxx Pros and Cons
Advantages of Alpha Maxx
The complete ingredients list is available and made up of all natural components.
The price is reasonable, even without needed to sign up for a subscription.
The vast majority of customer reviews are favorable.
Disadvantages of Alpha Maxx
Some of the ingredient amounts are too small (well below the clinical dosages) to be considered effective.
A significant number of Amazon customers have found Alpha Maxx not to work for them.
Alpha Maxx – The Bottom Line
Alpha Maxx uses a well-rounded collection of effective ingredients to boost male sexual performance.When compared with other products I’ve researched and tested, it falls solidly in the middle of the road.
Most users are happy with their results, stating it has improved their performance and pleasure.
Others have not had such positive results, but the majority clearly has.
The price point is another notch in Alpha Maxx’s favor.At just over $20 (and available for Prime Shipping), it comes in well below many products of its kind.
Taking these two points together – reviews and price – Alpha Maxx gets my recommendation as a good supplement to try.While you may fall into the category of users that doesn’t get your hoped for results, the $20 point of entry means the financial risk of trying is relatively small.But judging by the majority of reviews, chances are you’ll see some real benefit.
Everyone wants to know the truth about male enhancement supplements.
If you’ve ever been curious enough to look for information online, once you begin your search, you can scarcely check your Instagram or Twitter feed without coming across an advertisement or link pointing you to an amazing new pill or product guaranteed to exceed your wildest dreams.
Bombarded with all this “information,” it’s tough to know who or what to believe.
I get these exact 2 questions from readers every single day:
By taking the time to examine the promises, break down the formulas, and curate the feedback, we help you achieve a far better understanding of what works, what’s junk, what’s true, and what’s hype.
Sifting through the possibilities on your own without being able to test a wide variety of performance supplements and know what makes for a good one is tough unless you have endless time and means.
Which brings us to Votofel Force, a male performance enhancement supplement I’ve seen popping up on social media over the last several months. Does it work? What’s in it? How much does it cost? And is it worth it in the end?
These are the questions we’ll answer about Votofel Force, and when you’re finished reading, you’ll be armed with everything you need to make an informed decision.
What is Votofel Force?
They call it the “Triple Intensity Male Enhancement” pill to boost “the 3 S’s of Sex – Size, Stamina, and Satisfaction”.
Most performance enhancement supplements either work instantly or by taking them every day, over time the ingredients build up in your system, allowing you to be prepared any time.
Votofel Force claims to work both ways:
You get that instant surge in libido and performance ability
And it works over time on the root causes of your dysfunction, so you make continual improvement.
Both near and longer term, the benefits you can expect include:
Bigger, harder erections for more pleasure all around.
Increased libido and sexual energy.
Greater confidence in your vitality and sexual abilities.
How Does Votofel Force Work?
Aside from the fact that Votofel Force claims to work both immediately and in the long run, it’s claims are very similar to most other male enhancement pills.
So let’s focus on its dual action and how that works.
Votofel Force claims to use a unique rapid absorption technology combined with an extended release mechanism to achieve the dual action results.
How it accomplishes these goals is also a dual action proposition, working in two ways.
First it increases testosterone, more specifically free testosterone.
Testosterone is the primary male hormone, responsible for many of the characteristics we think of as traditionally male.
These include, facial hair as well as muscles, and male sexual characteristics as well.
After about the age of 25, our testosterone levels begin to drop.
It’s not noticeable at first, but after declining for about 10 years, you begin to see the telltale signs.
A drop in libido and weaker erections are among them.
Votofel Force helps your body produce more natural testosterone and also helps maintain those higher levels in the form of free testosterone
Free is all you can use, making this the important number.
Votofel Force claims to increase levels of free testosterone, helping to increase libido, drive, erection quality, and performance ability.
Second, it increases your body’s production of nitric oxide, which opens up blood vessels, allowing an increased amount of blood to flow through to help create firmer, harder erections.
This is called vasodilation, and is a very common claim with performance enhancement supplements.
In fact, it’s used by pre workout pills and powders as well because increasing blood flow can help build muscles as well as erections.
Votofel Force Ingredients
Finding claims about how Votofel Force works and what to expect from it turns out to be much easier than finding out what’s in the formula.
As it turns out, the Votofel Force website may not exist at all anymore. (We’ll talk more about that later).
There are plenty of webpages devoted to discussing Votofel Force, so I decided to check a few of these for an ingredient list.
The problem with this method is that over the several sites I checked, there were several different lists.
One site talked about: L-Arginine, Muira Puama, Nettle, and Tribulus Terrestris.
Another cited: Horny Goat Weed, Tongkat Ali, L-Arginine, and Panax Ginseng.
Still another showed a different list: Tribulus Terrestris, Muira Puama, Ginseng, and Fengugreek
Yet another lists the formula as: Oat Straw, Cayenne Pepper, Vitamin E, Ginseng, Saw Palmetto, and Hawthorn Berry Extract.
Website number 5 lists: Maca Root, Horny Goat Week, Long Jack Extract, Korean Ginseng, and Tribulus Terrestris.
That’s five different review websites with 5 different ingredient lists!
Clearly we cannot determine the actual formula through these conflicting reports.
The most important thing to note about the lists is that when taken together, there’s really not much difference, or to put it another way, the lists provided are very similar to each other, and they’re all very similar to most online male enhancement supplements like Votofel Force.
So, while it’s tough to nail down just how well it works based on this information, we can surmise fairly certainly that it works about as well as similar supplements sold in the same way.
Free Trial Scam?
This brings us to how and where to buy Votofel Force, which also has an air of mystery to it.
Turns out, it was once available through a “free trial offer”.
If you’re in a hurry and you just want the rough outline, here’s how it works:
Votofel Force entices you with all the above promises, then you find out it’s available to try for “free”.
You sign up by paying just $4.95 in shipping charges and $1.95 in package protection charges, and they send you a full one month supply.
The trick is that most customers think it ends there, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Unless you take specific action to cancel, in a couple weeks, they will charge you for your “free” bottle and they’ll begin sending you a new bottle every month from here on out, at full price.This won’t stop until you eventually realize what’s happening and contact them to cancel the repeat charges.
Even then, it can be tough to get through to these companies and make it known that you don’t want to have anything to do with them anymore.
The whole process can be extremely frustrating, but perhaps the most frustrating thing about it is that it’s perfectly legal.
As long as they list the terms of the deal somewhere on the website or even hidden in a document available from the website, they’re in the clear, legally.
So while tens of thousands of customers are pissed off, they don’t have much recourse.
Where Did Votofel Force Go?
It’s true that Votofel Force used to be available by signing up for their free trial.
It’s also true that it was one of the few free trial products available worldwide.
It was even available in South Africa, when the vast majority of supplements are not – free trial or no free trial.
Currently, every single link I used to reach their actual website to place an order has been cut off or rerouted to a different product.It appears as though, at this time, Votofel Force is no longer available. It may come back; it may not.
My money says they won’t come back, at least not under the same name.
Here’s what often happens.
Companies using the free trial scam start to get a negative reputation with customers (for good reason).
Unhappy customers write negative reviews and/or contact the Better Business Bureau with their complaints.
Eventually it starts to catch up, and the company pulls the product… sort of.
What they usually do is keep the formula, change the name, and put the same old product in a new bottle.
They change the name in all the existing advertisements, and they’re back in business.
So under the name Votofel Force, it no longer exists, at least not that I can find.
Votofel Force – The Bottom Line
The whole free trial supplement scam game has been around a long time, and many companies have it down to a science.
The best ones list ingredients on their websites, make their terms easy to find, clearly list their contact information, and are responsive to customers when they do call to cancel.
Votofel Force doesn’t do any of these things.
Not revealing ingredients has led to many conflicting lists all over the internet, and it’s impossible to find the actual product website at all at this time to know the terms of the deal and the contact information for the company.
One of the most prevalent issues with these free trial scams is that so many of the companies slap together a shoddy product, create a label, rework a boilerplate website, and start selling their mediocre product without much oversight or quality control.This seems to have been the case for Votofel Force, and at this point, it’s completed at least one cycle of existence.
It may come back under a different name at some point.
When it does, we’ll review that one too, and probably come to the same conclusion – that it’s not worth the hassle.
I grew up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches so I have lead an active lifestyle enjoying this beautiful area.
I have been an athlete my entire life and have had abs since I was 16 from rollerblading at an extreme level, as well as skiing, snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding.
It’s not about aesthetics to me- it’s about being truly functional and feeling good J
Competition Title wins
INBA State Title 2010
IFBB State Title 2010
ANB Asia Pacific Fitness Model Title 2011
IFBB National Title 2011
IFBB State Title 2011
WBFF World Title 2nd Placing 2013, Pro Status earned
WBFF Pro Debut 2014
I am about to embark on a new chapter with the goal of studying law, so 2018 is going to be busy!
What inspired you to get into bodybuilding?
Exercise has always been my happy place- my escape from stress & anxiety.
People always asked me when I was competing because of how lean I was, and I had no idea what they were talking about!
I just looked that was as a result of my love of being fit & healthy.
I became curious into what competitions they were referring to and looked into it in early 2010. I started competing before I started “proper” lifting, my physique came from years of functional fitness and my love of yoga & Pilates.
After placing 3rd in my first show, I was hooked and did 6 shows within 5 months of each other, winning 2 Sate titles & placing top 3 in the other 4 shows.
After a year of competing, I wanted to take my physique to new levels, so I that is when I started lifting weights 5 x weekly, and I loved the changes that came about.
However, it was not until 2013, when I became my own coach, and started strategically implementing more carbs into my diet, that my physique truly evolved.
That is when I went on to place 2nd in the world & earned Pro status with the WBFF.
How did you do in your first show?
As mentioned above, I placed 3rd in my first show, in a line up of around 35 girls.
It was the ANB Sydney Physique Championships, and it was on my Birthday, May 23rd.
Back in 2010, there were no height classes or ‘Novice/first timers ’categories.
I was thrown in the deep end with seasoned competitors and girls much taller than me!
I was stoked to place, I was not expecting it, and it would have still been a memory I will cherish forever if I had not placed.
What a rush!!
What gets you going? More importantly, what’s keeps you motivated to keep going?
My drive to constantly improve and my desire to feel fit & healthy definitely get me going and keep me going.
What is your personal fitness routine in an average week?
This will most likely change soon as my injuries are gone and I am ready for a new level, but the past 6 months this has been the right balance for my body:
Monday: 1 on 1 Clinical Pilates then an all over body weights w/ my PT
Tuesday: Body Balance class
Wednesday: Rest Day
Thursday: All over body weights
Friday: Body Balance Class
Saturday: All over body weights
Sunday: Rest day
What do you think about popular fitness trends like Crossfit and Orange Theory?
Crossfit is a great idea in theory- and lot of people are drawn to it as it seems like the perfect way to get fit: a combination of weight training & cardio, all at a high intensity… However even conditioned athletes get niggles from such high reps, and the lack of time to perform those reps with correct technique, so to the average person who spends 8 hours sitting at a computer, it is a sure-fire way of getting injured.
I also think it has a negative impact on hormones (for women anyway).
Not familiar with Orange Theory, so cannot comment on that.
If you had a weak body part how would you bring it back up?
Start with clinical Pilates to strengthen the neural pathways to that area, then activation work, then design a strength program to target that area.
I would train that area 2 x weekly until it became a strength.
What does a typical day of meals look like for you?
Meal 1: Quinoa flakes, WPI, crushed nuts and berries
Meal 2: Pre training meal: Cooked carbs & protein
Meal 3: Post training meal: WPI Shake and fruit
Meal 4: Lean meat, rice and veggies
Meal 5: Turkey mince and veggies
Meal 6: Steak, almond butter and veggies
Which is more important, diet or exercise?
Nutrition would pip exercise at the post as you simply cannot out train a poor diet, but in the absence of exercise, you can still make progress to your health & body composition with the right nutrition protocols.
What advice do you give to people trying to break into the Fitness Industry / Competition?
To first truly love health & fitness- to enjoy it for how it makes you FEEL- not just chasing the “aesthetics”.
What do you think is the most overrated exercise in the gym? Most underrated exercise?
Most overrated are Barbell Squats for sure!!!!!
Most underrated would be Single Leg Hip Thrusters or Reverse Hypers, both are amazing!
When cutting, down do you prefer to use HIIT or just normal cardio? What’s your favorite cutting exercise?
I never do HIIT, and the most cardio I ever do is a 30 minute brisk walk a few days a week.
I used to love Body Attack classes, as back in the day I was a full-blown Cardio Bunny. I was truly addicted to those classes!
I do not need cardio to get/stay lean though, and I am so glad I realized that!
What is your diet like?
My diet consists solely of wholefoods- except on cheat day!! Lean meats, chicken thigh and breast, turkey mince, eggs, fruit, veggies, quinoa, oats, rice, all nuts and my all time fave food is natural almond butter- yummo!
What is your supplementation like? Any particular favorites?
I do not use a great deal of supplements, as nothing beats good nutrition.
I use WPI (with breakfast and post training), BCAA’s during training and L Glutamine with my post workout WPI shake.
If you were starting over right now, what would you do differently?
Not jump into the splits in early May 2010. It was 2 weeks before my first ever show, and I was mucking around after a Body Balance class.
I jumped into the splits, and heard a popping noise from my left hamstring/glute insertion area.
It was agonizing L I did not rest though, I trained through pain (very silly) and I have never trained without pain or severe restriction as a result.
The entire time I have been lifting & competing, I have worked around pain.
It lead to a myriad of other injuries due to compensation and a very dysfunctional physique.
Every prep I pushed through real pain – until late 2015, my body said “no more”.
I spent all of 2016, literally learning how to walk again, completely rebuilding myself.
I am finally pain free and functional again and it’s liberating!!!
What’s the best training advice you’ve ever received?
If you’re having a bad day- GET TO THE GYM!!
Favorite cheat meal?
Pizza followed by Nutella for desert!
What has been your biggest accomplishment in the fitness field?
Other than being the first Australian to earn Fitness Pro Status with the WBFF (and in Vegas of all places) definitely building my online coaching business, which turned 6 November 1st.
I have clients in 50 countries around the world and I love helping others achieve their health & fitness goals, and becoming happier people J It’s the greatest career ever!
In response to historically low testosterone levels, many men have decided to fight back and do what they can to increase their natural testosterone levels.
Outside of exercise and a nutritious diet, one of the best ways to support testosterone levels is with supplements.
Force X7 by Alpha Wolf Nutrition is one of the newest test boosters on the market that promises to combat low t-levels.
Like many other testosterone boosters to come before it, Force X7 serves as an alternative to those that either would prefer to avoid prescription alternatives or testosterone replacement therapy.
Benefits of Force X7
Packed with several scientifically proven herbal ingredients, Force X7 by Alpha Wolf Nutrition claims that it’s able to halt estrogen dominance while promoting increases in natural testosterone levels.
This test booster review is going to explore the reported benefits of improved mood, higher sex drive, fat loss, and lean muscle growth when Force X7 is taken as a part of a healthy diet and exercise plan.
Key Ingredients
Ashwaghanda Root
Used since ancient times, ashwagandha was once looked upon as a way to maintain overall health and well-being.
Today, studies suggest that ashwagandha may be able to promote the natural production of testosterone while helping with healthy sleeping patterns, which will support growth hormone development. (1)
Maca Root
A Peruvian super food, maca root has long been used for men’s health. Studies show that maca root helps with hormonal health, including promoting healthy levels of testosterone production in men. Maca root is also famous as a libido enhancer. (2)
Coleus Forskohlii
A popular herbal remedy from India, coleus forskohlii is considered a potent testosterone booster but it also supports a healthy body composition as studies show. (3)
Long Jack
Also known as Tongkat Ali, this plant is native to Indonesia and Thailand and it’s a common ingredient found in test boosters with good reason: it works.
Studies show that supplementing with long jack may increase natural testosterone production. (4)
Zinc
One of the most important minerals for brain development, zinc is also necessary for the production of natural testosterone in the body.
Supplementing with zinc has been shown to promote healthy testosterone levels. (5)
My Experience with Force X7
I was really impressed with the Force X7 formula.
While I didn’t feel much for the first two weeks, it was around the third week when I noticed the following:
There was an obvious boost in strength during my workouts.
I was performing standard upper and lower split workouts but my force output during the heaviest sets was a lot stronger.
I was able to get that extra repetition or two that had eluded me the previous weeks.
My libido was also higher.
I noticed a more primal mindset during the day, usually within a couple hours of taking Force X7.
One thing I’d point out is the fact that I didn’t have low testosterone issues prior to taking Force X7. For guys with healthy t-levels or guys who want to chase mass building, you may need to take four capsules, not the recommended three.
Overall, I think Force X7 by Alpha Wolf Nutrition is a high-quality test booster that can be of great use to guys looking to restore or support testosterone levels.
I recommend it personally and when compared to other similar testosterone boosters, I would say that Force X7 is a force to be reckoned with and actually produces noticeable results which is more than you can say about many of them.

Is it normal for a unknown doctor to suggest Trembolex Ultra and Vigor Enhance?
This is a quote from him, supposedly.

I’ve written about Extenze pretty extensively on this site.
This supplement literally came out of nowhere.
You can find a wide variety of products with the Rhino name in them.
Of course, you will pay a much higher price for shipping, but it’s still cheaper than Hardon Helper.
This is another fast acting natural ed pill, that REALLY is all natural unlike Rhino 7. Unlike Extenze, we don’t really know what the ingredients are in this supplement. The label says it contains:
