How To Cancel A Supplement Free Trial (And Get A Refund)

It happens suddenly and unexpectedly….

You log in to your credit card or bank account to pay your bills, when all of a sudden you see a charge you don’t recognize.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp

You run a quick google search for the merchant, and then you realize…

You’ve just been charged for a supplement you “thought” you were getting for free.

In a lot of cases, our site gets mixed up with a lot of these scam free trials.

You may google something like “jacked antler website” and come across our site in the search results.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/jacked antler website

People will see our site, click on it, and then full out the contact form telling us they want their money back.

Even though we put “3 BIG Reasons To Avoid Jacked Antler” right in the title…

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/dont buy jacked

People somehow still think we’re associated with them.

I get about 2 dozen of these emails per week, and it’s beyond frustrating sometimes.

I’ve decided to create this post to help eliminate (or at the very least, reduce) the amount of these emails I get.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp

I’ve also decided to write it because, like you, I’ve been scammed by free trials in the past.

I know what it feels like to have your hard earned money ripped out of your bank account and into the account of a scammer.

I’m going to show you how to F#$K them (not literally, of course)

Here’s what you need to do to cancel your supplement trial (and possibly get a refund).

Step 1: Identify Who Exactly Charged You

This can be accomplished in a number of ways.

The first way is to check out free list of free trial cancellation phone numbers. We have customer service phone numbers for close to 100 supplement free trials and counting.

If you don’t see the phone number listed there, or the number we have listed doesn’t work…

Google the name of the supplement + website

This is not as easy as just googling the name of the supplement + phone number.

Let’s take the male enhancement supplement Nitridex as an example.

Look what happens when you google “nitridex phone number“.

nitridex phone number

You have to google the name of the supplement and then the term website to get the closest possible match.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/nitridex

Oftentimes you won’t actually get the ACTUAL website, but you’ll get an affiliate site that’s promoting it.

Just click on one of the banners or links that say “Rush My Trial” and it will take you to their website 50% of the time.

affiliate site promoting zyntix

Look on your credit card statement

Sometimes this requires a little digging.

Start by going to the email you might have used and search for the name of the supplement.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/search for

If that doesn’t work, search something like “Customer Support”, and look for an email that doesn’t look “normal”.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/customer

Once you do that, open the email and look at the date you ordered the product.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/date i

Now, go back to your credit card statement and look for your transactions on that date.

Specifically, you’ll be looking for a charge that’s somewhere near $5, so:

  • $4.95
  • $4.99
  • $4.97
  • etc.

Now, with Wells Fargo (my bank) you’ll see that they actually list the phone number in the transaction itself.

leanfire xt phone number on cc statement
Note the phone number: 877-492-7243

At first glance it doesn’t exactly “look” like the phone number, but trust me, it is.

If none of the above works…Call your bank

If you’ve tried everything listed above and you STILL can’t find the phone number, call your bank.

You can easily find this number on the back of your credit card.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/credit card number on back of

If you can’t seem to find your card, here’s a list of customer service phone numbers for some of the bigger branches:

Wells Fargo: 866-867-5568
Bank Of America: 888-809-7321
JP Morgan: 800-935-9935
Citibank: 800-627-3999
PNC Bank: 888-762-2265
Capitol One: 800-955-7070
BB&T: 800-226-5228
Sun Trust: 800-786-8787
HSBC: 800-975-4722
TD Bank: 800-937-2000

Note: If your bank isn’t listed here, click here for a full list of 1-800 numbers of all major banks.

Once you get through to them, you’ll want to say something like this:

Hi There, my name is So and So. I was looking over my credit card statement and noticed a suspicious transaction on (insert whatever date the transaction occurred). Can you help?

Not only will the bank operator be able to give you the actual number of the supplement in question, but they may even offer to put you through on a 3-way call.

I’ve had this done in the past with a supplement company that was giving me the run around.

Step 2: Call Them To Cancel Your Trial And Get A Refund

So now that you have the phone number, it’s time to call them up and see what the deal is.

It’s important that you try to remain as calm as possible.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/keep calm

Shouting and / or cursing at them over the phone isn’t going to help your cause.

I know you’re pissed off that you’ve been charged, but trust me on this.

Calling and speaking to them in a pleasant, but firm, tone will give you the best odds at getting a refund.

Here’s how you should proceed with the call:

Tip #1:Tell them that you’re recording the phone conversation for your own records.

There’s 2 ways to go about this:

  1. You really CAN record the phone call, or
  2. You bluff that you are

If you want to REALLY record the phone call (which isn’t completely necessary), there are several apps that can help you.

If you have an iPhone, here’s a couple (all free):

If you have a Samsung, here’s a free one available on google play:

Even if you’re not recording the conversation, this will immediately put them on the hook.

If they even THINK you’re recording the conversation, they’ll be less likely to try and up-sell you and / or try to get you to keep the product.

It will make the call MUCH shorter, trust me.

Tip #2: Immediately ask to speak to a manger.

The simple fact is this…

The first person you get on the phone is some low-level customer service rep that couldn’t give 2 shits that you’ve been charged.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/call
Hi there….”John”?

They’re provided with a script to try and get you to keep the supplement, and / or will just offer you a discount.

Be polite, but firm…

Tell them that you would like to speak to their manager because you have a specific complaint that needs to be addressed.

Tip #3:Tell them you spoke with your bank and they noted similar complaints from other customers.

Once you get the manager on the phone, now it’s go-time.

Just like with the customer service rep, you need to be calm, cool, and collected.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/calm cool and

Shouting at them will just put them on the defensive, and make them not want to honor any of your requests.

Remind him or her that the conversation is being recorded for your own records.

You’ll want to make it clear to them that you’ve spoken to your bank and they have noticed similar transactions coming from their company, and that they are involved in multiple disputes.

Again, this may not necessarily be true, but it will plant the seed in the managers head that you’ve done your research and you mean business.

Tell them that you had no idea you were going to be charged the full price for the supplement, and you would like a full refund.

Tip #4: If the manager won’t budge…

This is where the gloves may have to come off.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/gloves come

Tell them that you will report their company to your states attorney generals office and the FTC.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, scares these guys more than the feds. (except maybe the credit card companies)

Pitch it like this:

“Ok (managers first name), here’s what I’m going to do. Since you won’t offer me a refund for this, I’m going to contact my state attorney generals office and tell them about this. Then, once I get off the phone with him, I’m going to call the FTC. I’m sure they would love to know that you’ve been hiding your terms and conditions in very fine print at the bottom of the order page.”

That last part is key because in 99% of the cases, this is true.

The FTC requires that merchants make it CRYSTAL CLEAR how much they’ll be charging you, when they’ll be charging you, and how OFTEN they’ll be charging you.

Slapping the terms and conditions at the bottom of the page in a very light grey font and making it nearly impossible to read isn’t considered “crystal clear”.

By the way, this threat is 100% legit.

If they don’t offer you a refund I REALLY would contact your state attorney generals office and the FTC.

It’s not as scary as it sounds, here’s links to both:

List of states attorney generals: www.Naag.org

FTC: Submit a complaint

90% of the time, just the mere threat of running to the FTC and States Attorney is enough for them to relent and give you a refund.

Sometimes they will offer to just give you 50% of your money back, or extend your trial by another month.

Stick to your guns!

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/stick to your

Tell them this charge was completely unexpected, the product did NOT work for you, and you want a full refund.

They may still require you to send the unused product back (which is legal), but you won’t be on the hook for the $100’s you may have possibly been already charged.

Click Here to find out what you should do if you have to send the product back.

Common Problems You May Encounter Along The Way

Problem #1: They won’t put you on the phone with a manager

This is usually the first problem that you’ll encounter.

They’ll say things like:

“Our manager is busy / unavailable / not here at the moment, how can I help?”

Just tell them you’ll wait.

If they put you on hold, give them 5 minutes.

If 5 minutes passes and you’re still not on the phone with the manager, hang up and call back.

In the case where they’re “unavailable” or “not here”, give them your phone number and tell them they expect a call by the end of the day.

Tell them that if you don’t hear from them by the end of the day, you’ll be contacting the FTC and State Attorney General.

Once you utter those words, 95% of the time the manager will mysteriously become available.

Problem #2: The manager won’t budge

Sometimes these companies are located in countries like Panama, Costa Rica, or El Salvador, where the words “FTC” don’t resonate.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/who

They don’t give 2 shits about the FTC, or any other government organization for that matter.

In that case, you’re going to have to tell them that you’ll just handle the matter with your bank. (See below on how to do this)

Give them a second to respond, and if they shrug it off then you’ll proceed to the next step.

How To Get Your Money Back From Your Bank

In the HIGHLY unlikely event that you have a company that refuses to cancel your trial and/or give you a refund, you may have to get your bank or credit card company involved. (for real this time)

In this scenario, you would simply call your bank or credit card company and explain the situation to them.

You would say something like this when you called:

“Hi, my name is (Whatever your first and last name is), I placed an order for a sample of (insert name of supplement here) on (insert date you ordered it) and have contacted for a refund. I would like to file a dispute for this transaction.”

It would also be helpful to have the information on the transaction handy, including:

  • The exact amount you were billed and on what dates
  • The name of the transaction
  • The website url for the company (this can be used to prove that they’re hiding their free trial terms and conditions in very fine print)

If you have any questions on any of this, or need help with cancelling a specific supplement, I’m always here to help.

Just contact me here and I’ll do what I can.

What To Do If You Have To Send The Product Back

In probably close to 70% of the supplement free trials I’ve ordered over the years, I’ve been required to send the remaining or unused portion back to the company I’ve ordered it from.

They will make it explicitly clear when you call to cancel on whether or not you need to do this.

If you have to send it back…

You’ll receive what is called an RMA #, which is short for Return Merchandise Authorization.

This is a series of digits that you WILL have to write on the outside of the package that your sending the supplement back in.

write the rma number on the package

When you’re sending it back, make sure you:

  • Use FedEx, UPS, or USPS. The smaller delivery couriers can be notoriously slow to deliver and / or may get lost in transit.
  • WRITE THE RMA # on the outside of the box, preferably in more than one spot.
  • GET DELIVERY CONFIRMATION AND TRACKING added to your order.

This last step ensures that the supplement company can’t pull a fast one and say they never received the package, and therefore, won’t give you a refund.

If you do NOT have to send it back…

Congratulations….you got yourself a legit free sample of a supplement 🙂

You can toss it in the trash, give it to a friend, take the rest of it, or use the bottle as a stand for your desktop camera like I do.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/alpha fuel xt on a supplement

Just use the experience as a lesson that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is…

How To Fight Back!

If you followed all the steps above, there’s a 9o% chance that you’ll get your money back.

If you’re still looking to stick it to them, there’s a few other things you can do:

Contact The Better Business Bureau

The better business bureau offers a wealth of resources to fight back against scammers like this, including:

Contacting your bank is still your best bet if you want to get your money back, but the BBB can help lessen the financial pain by giving you peace of mind that you are helping to protect others from falling in to the same trap.

Anamax Review

Don’t Buy Anamax, Trust Me!

The statistics on men who suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) are flat out staggering.

The question is no longer “if” but “when.”

Unfortunately, it is just a part of life for us men, and most of us would do just about anything to get our “mojo” back and have as strong of erections as when we were in our 20s.

When will our penis decide to wave the white flag?

When will we no longer be able to satisfy our partner?

For many men, it’s happened already.

Take one quick look at the graph below and you’ll see that you’re not alone.

Anamax is an erectile dysfunction (ED) pill scam
Image: vacumed.com

For most older men (and many younger men) it can feel like the hole is already in the boat.

Now it’s time to salvage the ship and keep what’s left of your sex life.

And, with such a large market of men with ED, there’s bound to be sky-high demand for sex pills and supplements.

I’ll tell you what — the demand is alive and strong. And so is the supply!

It seems like everyone’s trying to cash in on this 21st century gold-rush of sexual dysfunction.

Tons of products like Anamax and companies are trying to cash in on the erectile dysfunction gold rush
Image: healingmnstories.wordpress.com

You’ve got the good guys, offering up products that actually work.

And the bad guys that go to great lengths to bend you over and take every last dime you have.

And just about everyone in-between.

They all make enticing claims that are aimed at catching the eye of any man who has had some trouble performing when the time comes in the bedroom and often times they have catchy names or slogans that make you look past whether or not it is legit.

So if you’re on the market for a real solution to treat erectile dysfunction, be VERY careful.

I feel like every time I turn around, there’s another male sex enhancer scam trying to drain us of our money, our dignity, and our hope for a better boner.

Alpha TRT supposedly helps to treat erectile dysfunction in men.

Today we’re gonna dig into a product called Anamax that I recently came across.

What you’re about to learn will make you think twice before dealing with certain companies, and it might even save you time, money, and a whole lotta headache.

What is Anamax?

So I was scrolling through a news feed when I came across this most eye-catching advertisement.

Ahem, please pardon the vulgarity…

Anamax ED advertising is vulgar

For whatever reason, the box says “VCor” but the link took me straight to the Anamax sales page.

And sure enough, the contents of the Anamax page (which is disguised as a news story) are just as vulgar as their ads.

The headline reads: “How My Hubby F$#ks Me for 2 Hours Using His ROCK HARD Dick WITHOUT Cumming!”

Super professional, right?

The Anamax ad and sales page are absolutely tasteless
Image: imdb.com

If you can stomach the fake news sales page, and find yourself trapped in their web of lies, you will end up clicking through to the product page… which tries to sell you on their ED pill that is guaranteed to revolutionize your sex life by:

  • Improving your libido
  • Increasing your staying power
  • Giving you bigger, longer, harder erections
  • Improving your sexual confidence
  • And increasing your penis size

They attempt to get you signed up for a “Free Trial,” with no-strings attached.

Anamax ED scam offers a free trial

If it sounds too good to be true, just keep reading.

You’re about to see their creative scumbaggery in full effect.

Bogus Advertising Behind Anamax

Bogus isn’t even the word for it.

It’s downright disgusting the way they manipulate people into buying their product.

So here’s the sales page.

Anamax sales page is filled with lies to sell their erectile dysfunction pills

Obviously, as far as “news stories” go, this one falls in the “NSFW” category.

But looking past the tasteless salesmanship, we begin to see the deception.

First off, have a look at the header: FOX News.

When was the last time you saw a news story of this angle on ANY legitimate news channel website?

Never.

And this isn’t FOX News, either.

Have a look at the URL and the other tell-tale signs of a scam…

Anamax tells many lies on their sales page to sell ED product

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

A leisurely scroll down the sales page leads you through a whole forest of dishonesty!

And remember, the people surfing these sites genuinely have a problem (ED!) that they’re desperately trying to solve.

So you can see how one might fall into the traps.

This next scam-tactic breaks my heart.

You see the lovely couple there off to the side.

Amadex uses an elderly couple as a fake testimonial to sell their male sex enhancement pills

Yeah, that’s some unsuspecting elderly couple who have NEVER even heard of Anamax, let alone endorse it.

That fellow in the picture… that’s NOT John of Nacogdoches, TX.

How do I know?

Well, I did a search for that image online. And sure enough, I found a YouTube video of the real couple.

Here they are, talking about Scrabble… SCRABBLE people!

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdVpa7mLEIA?rel=0]

The scumbags at Anamax simply took a random image off the web and played it off as their own happy customers. (Look closely and you can even see the scrabble tiles on his hat in the sales page image!)

This happens ALL the time with these types of scams.

Moving right along…

Further down the sales page, they pull out the “Breaking News!” bit, which is hard to believe anybody would fall for.

But they do.

Amadax pretends to be featured on Fox News to sell their scam ED pill

Which brings us to good ol’ Hef.

Yup, Hugh Hefner himself makes a cameo in the “news story” to rave about the Anamax product… of course.

Hugh Heffner does not endorse Amadax scam

Hefner supposedly says “Anybody can last 2 hours in bed with this pill.” Before explicitly endorsing Anamax…

Anamax lies and says that hugh heffner endorsed their scam product

Hey, if it’s good enough for Hugh, it’s good enough for you!

Riiiiiight.

I’m 99.9999% sure that Hugh Hefner has never heard of Anamax either.

A simple Google search of Hugh Hefner + Anamax brings back ZERO results.

Hugh Hefner has never heard of Anamax

Finally, a word of caution for women.

It seems this advertisement is geared mostly toward women to coerce them into buying the product for their husband.

Most of the stories, anecdotes, and many of the fake testimonials are women praising the product for turning their husband into a sex-machine.

So ladies, beware.

The Big Bold Anamax Promise

We briefly covered the promises and claims of Anamax ED.

They mostly look like this…

Anamax promises bigger, harder, longer erections

Mixed in with a little bit of this…

Anamax claims you will have increased sexual confidence

And a whole lot of this…

The Anamax ED scam claims to revolutionize your sex life

And in the sales page, they talk a LOT about boosting testosterone in men.

But the BIG BOLD promise that really got me in stitches was this one…

You can find it tucked in one of the testimonials on the sales page.

A true diamond in the rough.

The Anamax ED pills supposedly last a lifetime, which is not possible

Yes, you read that right.

The sales reps at Anamax say, and I quote, “the entire course of six months provides life time results and there is absolutely no need to buy more.”

Are. You. Kidding.

Me.

This is simply NOT possible in the time-space continuum which we currently occupy.

Even after taking the best products on the market, you wouldn’t come close to achieving “life time results” after a 6-month regimen.

Anamax claims are impossible to deliver

Anamax contains all-natural ingredients that cannot possibly give the results it claims to

These ingredients are all-natural, clean, and what you’d find in many ED pills on the market.

That said, there’s no way they could deliver the results that Anamax claims to deliver.

Are there any side effects?

Sure thing.

The biggest side effect you might develop is a rare condition called “I lost all my money and still can’t get an erection-itis.”

The biggest side effects from Anamax are you losing all your money and still not having an erection

But let’s say you actually receive the product, here’s what the ingredient profile suggests when it comes to potential side effects.

Also, you wouldn’t want to take this ED pill if you’re taking anti-hypertension (low blood pressure) medication, or if you’re currently taking nitrates.

The L-Arginine could cause a serious reaction. (Source)

Anamax user reviews

You won’t find a single user review for Anamax anywhere on the web, mostly because it’s a total scam and probably not even a real product.

But check this out…

On the product sales page, they actually created a bogus comments section, where various people chime in about their experience.

Anamax includes fake testimonials on their sales page for the ED pill

There’s many more where that came from, but I refuse to give these so-called “testimonials” the time of day.

Also, some include images that are straight pornographic in nature.

So, yeah.

And don’t be fooled, this is NOT a legitimate comment thread.

I tried to write a comment/testimonial of my own, but the page would not allow it.

This tactic is another dead giveaway with these types of scams.

Anamax FAQ’s

nootropics frequently asked questions

Who makes it?

Great question.

My best guess is some super shady dude with daddy issues, who wears sunglasses even when he’s indoors, and hasn’t been laid in… forever.

It takes a special kind of scumbag to con innocent people out of their hard-earned money.

And whoever makes this product — it isn’t their first rodeo.

Watch this.

I present to you, Climadex

Climadex scam

Look familiar?

How about Vandexafil…

Who makes Anamax ED is a mystery

Then we’ve got the penis pill called Nitridex.

I wrote an in-depth review on this one… slightly different ingredients, same shitty scam.

I could go on and on about these identical products that surface, seemingly every single week.

And for good measure, the latest in the lineup, Anamax…

Anamax scam

Whoever makes these ED pills is pumping them out, one after the next.

Just as soon as people catch on to one product, they unroll another one.

Same packaging, marketing, and sleazy tactics.

Just with a different name.

One day the sales page is functioning, the next day it’s gone. Vanished.

Replaced with another ‘hook’ and just waiting for the next hungry fish to swim by.

No doubt these guys make A LOT of money.

Anamax scam is like fishing for people to take their money
Image: https://wtop.com

That’s how it goes.

And it’s nearly impossible to track them down to bust them for good.

But I’ll continue to do my small part in creating these reviews to warn unsuspecting buyers.

If nothing else, it helps me sleep at night. 🙂

Where can I buy it?

You can only purchase the product through the actual sales page.

It isn’t sold anywhere else online.

But just in case you’ve skimmed this entire article, and landed on this small section… DON’T buy this product!

How much does it cost?

Well, they don’t say how much the pills cost.

Which is nothing short of frightening.

Amadax is frightening because they don't tell you the price of the product
Image: bestproducts.com

This means that once your “Free Trial” is over, they can essentially charge your credit card for whatever amount they want. $50 a bottle? $25 How could you even dispute such a thing?

Where would you even start? :-/

The Anamax Scam

Is Pharmacy RX One a scam?
Image: beststayhomejobs.com

Just to be clear.

Anamax is a scam through and through.

Now I want to quickly get to the brass tacks of the scam itself, and how they get you.

And it starts with the “Free Trial” offer.

Just one click and they’ll send you a no-obligation, one-month supply of the finest ED supplement on the market.

Once you’re in, you’re in.

I’ve heard SO many horror stories about how these companies continue to bill your credit card, month after month after month.

Is Erectify Ultra a scam?

And don’t be too surprised if there’s no cancellation.

As far as I know, it’s impossible to get their “customer service” on the phone, let alone have a productive conversation that results in you getting your money back.

Maybe you’ll receive a mediocre product in the mail (containing the forgettable ingredients discussed above), but it’s more likely you won’t ever get a package at your door.

You might not be able to cancel Anamax and get your money back
Image: steemit.com

Long story short… anytime you see “Free” anything on the internet (especially penis pills!), think twice before you pull out your pocketbook.

It could save you hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars.

Recommendations

I highly suggest you steer clear of Anamax and any product that even closely resembles it.

We’ve seen how they craft BS half-truths and downright lies to get our money.

Everything about the company and the product is a big fat scam.

Anamax is filled with lies
Image: workplacepsychology.net

Even if you did receive the product, you would not experience the results they claim (bigger penis, life-time results, etc.).

The herbal ingredients just don’t pack that kind of punch.

In fact, nothing packs that kind of punch.

I hate to say it, but that miracle pill does not exist.

Hopefully this review sheds some light on the common tricks and traps these guys use.

And maybe, just maybe it’ll make someone stop in their tracks before clicking that “BUY!” button and losing their money on a bogus product scam.

Hey, it could happen.

For Hims ED Review

Note: This is just a review.

Visit the official ForHims website here: www.ForHims.com

Question: What are the two letters of the alphabet that strike FEAR into the hearts of men everywhere?

Answer: E.D.

Yup, erectile dysfunction — or ED as the cool kids call it — is a cruel joke played on many unsuspecting men. One year we’re getting it up like a bull in a boner shop, the next year we’re wondering if our erections have gone extinct forever.

Many men have erectile dysfunction problems, but is For Hims the best solution?
Image: imgur.com/

Well, good news… they haven’t.

In fact, one company is saying “ED is now optional.”

It’s a new male sex pill called For Hims. And I’ll tell you right now, it’s not for everybody.

For Hims is the younger men's solution for erectile dysfunction and hair loss

But… it is for somebody.

Like, say, Snoop Dogg for example (don’t worry I’ll explain).

So let’s dig right in and learn about For Hims.

Frequently Asked Questions
Recommendation

We’ll find out if it’s a good alternative to Viagra, and whether or not it’s the right erection pill for you.

We’ll even put it toe-to-toe with other ED brands on the market, so to lay your options on the table.

What is For Hims?

I first stumbled across For Hims by way of some rather interesting advertisements.

For Hims advertisements

I knew right away we weren’t in Kansas anymore.

Here’s just a taste of what they’re all about…

For Hims is a male sex pill for erectile dysfunction
Image: forhims.com

If Kendrick Lamar and Zac Effron had a lovechild, it would look something like the For Hims brand. Young, hip, cool.

Full of promise and zeal.

Needless to say, For Hims isn’t your grandpa’s ED pill.

Instead, it’s geared toward the younger generation.

You can read it in the product marketing, and see it in every image on their website.

And what they offer is… Sildenafil!

That much beloved ‘S’ word that “significantly improves satisfaction and quality of life for both patients and partners.” Source

The company is fast-growing and has positioned itself as the #1 solution for young men who suffer from ED…

And hair loss…

For Hims also sells hair loss products for men

And skin blemishes…

For Hims offers acne treatment for men

And cold sores…

For Hims sells cold sore treatments for men
Image: forhims.com

And sweaters and candles and matchbooks…

For Hims sells all sorts of merchandise for men
Image: forhims.com

And you get the picture.

Unlike 99% of the company’s and products I review, For Hims is a smorgasbord of tonics and treatments for every condition under the sun!

Now, this doesn’t mean we write them off as a Jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

I mean, maybe everything they sell is gold.

But then again, maybe not.

Let’s find out.

And let’s focus on their ED offering to see if it’s worth a damn.

For Hims sells erectile dysfunction pills, shampoo, hair products, mouth products and skin products

About the Company

Hims definitely seems to care about their customers, both potential and current.

About For Hims, a solution for young men suffering with ED
Image: forhims.com

The makers of the product have this refreshing message emblazoned across their ‘About’ page.

“We hope to enable a conversation that’s currently closeted.

Men aren’t supposed to care for themselves. We call bullshit.

The people who depend on you and care about you want you to.

To do the most good, you must be well.”

I can get behind that.

Men should put ‘self care’ a bit higher on the priority list.

And guess what… it doesn’t have to be embarrassing.

According to For Hims ED, seeking help for erectile dysfunction doesn't have to be embarrassing
Image: forhims.com

We can start to get a sense of the company’s philosophy and mission.

But there really isn’t a whole lot of information to be found about the team of employees, the founder, or any of that good stuff.

So I did some sleuthing.

And found this guy to be the founder of the company.

For Hims ED Founder Andrew Dudum in a Fast Company interview
Andrew Dudum. Founder of For Hims.

Image: fastcompany.com

The strapping young man, Andrew Dudum, is all of 30-years-old.

He founded For Hims just last year (in 2017), and they’re currently based out of San Francisco.

For Hims ED pills for men is located in San Francisco
Image: forhims.com

Mr. Dudum doesn’t exactly have a medical background that led him into the erectile dysfunction market (almost nobody does these days).

But he’s certainly been busy over the years on quite the entrepreneurial streak, For Hims being the latest in his portfolio of (very) profitable ventures.

What are the ingredients in For Hims?

For Hims contains Sildenafil, the main ingredient in Viagra
Image: forhims.com

Boom!

There it is… Sildenafil.

Sound familiar?

That’s because it’s the main ingredient in Viagra.

Doctors have been prescribing Viagra to men for the past 20 years.

Because it works… like a charm.

For Hims contains Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra
Image: forhims.com

Of course, it’s not exactly the little blue pill.

But products containing the generic form of Sildenafil are often just as effective at giving you that erection of a lifetime.

Now before you get too excited, you should know that For Hims puts you through a doctor consultation (over the phone for $5) before you can sign-up for the product plan.

The doctor will determine the dosing according to your needs.

Image: forhims.com

Shopping for boner pills from the comfort of your own home?This is the future.

And to be honest, the simple fact that For Hims contains only Sildenafil is a breath of fresh air.

It’s almost a daily occurrence that I come across a new penis pill that promises the world, but delivers only shitty side effects.

For Hims contains just one ingredient— and one that’s stood the test of time! — instead of the typical laundry-list of ingredients that you’ve never heard of.

Are there any side effects?

nugenix side effects

Sildenafil is generally safe to use, and “most continuing participants were satisfied with sildenafil treatment for their ED” (Source).

However, it has been known to cause side effects in some men. According to the makers of the product, these side effects might include:

  • headache
  • facial flushing
  • upset stomach
  • abnormal vision
  • stuffy or runny nose
  • back pain
  • muscle pain
  • nausea
  • dizziness
  • and rash
Despite what the label says, Titanium 4000 might give you a headache as a side effect
Image: menshealth.com

And as it turns out, Sildenafil can cause serious side effects too.

It’s rare, but here are a few to look out for…

  • Vision loss
  • An erection that lasts more than 4 hours
  • Heart attack symptoms
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Shortness of breath

Source: EverydayHealth.com

Finally, you do NOT want to take Sildenafil while taking other nitrates.

WebMD says this makes for a nasty cocktail, and could potentially turn deadly. Source

Is For Hims legal?

Yes, Hims is perfectly legal… for now.

Technically you’re seeing a virtual doctor to prescribe you the right dose/quantity/etc.

“If you are interested in a prescription, Hims will match you with an independent physician who will evaluate whether or not you are an appropriate candidate for the prescription product and if appropriate, may write you a prescription for the product.” -For Hims

Sildenafil is not sold OTC, so you can expect to jump through a few hoops to get your hands on the stuff.

For some men, this might feel like a big pain in the arse.

As you’ll need to create an account, setup a profile, and essentially become a member of the monthly subscription plan.

For Hims requires men to setup an account and become a member before they can receive the Sildenafil
Image: forhims.com

If that sounds like more than you bargained for, you might be interested in a product called Hardon Helper, a highly-effective OTC sex pill that should do the trick.

User reviews

Well, it’s not everyday that I can share THIS kind of development.

But it looks like the one and only Snoop Dogg endorses the product.

And he seems to really dig the stuff…

snoop hims review

He says in the video…

“Yo hims. Man these vitamins is the truth, homie. For real.

These vitamins is the truth — I tell you no lie.

They’re good for hair loss, ED, I know you don’t want to talk about that. But some of you have ED. And Hims is perfect for that.

Don’t be embarrassed, come on out of the closet, I’m fittin’ to take mine now.” -Snoop Dogg

I found lots of reviews for Hims hair-growth products, and even for Hims skin care, but there really aren’t many unbiased reviews on the Hims erectile dysfunction pills.

But c’mon. Snoop shared his thoughts on the matter. What more do we need?

How about something slightly more official?

Check out this For Hims commercial.

For Hims Vs. Get Roman

Not so long ago I wrote an in-depth review on another ED startup called Get Roman.

Get Roman, an online pharmacy for men who suffer with ED
Get Roman, an online pharmacy for men who suffer with ED.

Image: getroman.com

Get Roman and For Hims are really apples and oranges.

And if I were to recommend one over the other… well, we’ll get to that.

For Hims is a good choice because:

  • It’s affordable (dirt cheap) at $30/mo
  • They market to a younger audience, thus filling a hole in the market
  • The buying process/onboarding is less intimidating than Get Roman’s
  • It’s a generic form of Viagra, so it’s likely gonna work for you
  • Snoop Dogg uses it, ya dig?

And Get Roman is a good choice because:

  • The company comes across as much more professional than For Hims
  • The onboarding is a bit tedious, but you can tell it’s because they care
  • They offer Tadalafil (the main ingredient in Cialis) instead of just Sildenafil
  • Their branding is awesome and helps build trust
  • They have a full medical leadership team
  • It’s more expensive, but maybe because they offer a purer form of the pill?
Get Roman is a good Viagra alternative
Image: getroman.com

Here’s what I would say…

If you’re an older guy who suffers from chronic ED, and you don’t mind spending a little time/money/effort up-front for a long-lasting fix, then go with Get Roman.

But if you’re a younger guy and just want to see if these generic Viagra pills are worth your time, try For Hims, as the onboarding experience and price are much more reasonable.

Also, neither of these products are covered by health insurance plans or offer a money-back guarantee.

For Hims FAQ’s

Titanium 4000 frequently asked questions
Image: chatbotslife.com

How do I take it?

Take For Hims (one Sildenafil pill) an hour before having sex.If you take it 30 minutes before sex, you should be just fine.

How long does it take to start working?

Sildenafil is fast-acting, so you should plan on getting that erection (if aroused) within 25-30 minutes after taking For Hims.

So be ready.

Sildenafil, the main ingredient in For Hims ED, is fast-acting
Image: mememaker.net

Will I get bigger taking it?

Temporarily, yes.

However, you will not gain permanent length or girth in your penis from taking For Hims.

Sorry guys.

You see, Sildenafil promotes blood flow to the penis through a process called vasodilation.

how vasodilation works
^ How vasodilation works.

Source: MayoClinic.com

And when you’re (temporarily) engorged with blood down there, you’ll seem bigger for the time being.

But this will go away when the erection subsides.

Bummer.

Can I take it with alcohol?

It is not recommended to take Sildenafil with alcohol.

Here’s why.

According to the UK Health Center, “Alcohol thins the blood, and can lead to [Sildenafil] being broken down faster than normal.” Source

Also, it would be a bit counter-productive, as alcohol actually decreases blood flow to the penis, while the Sildenafil tries to increase blood flow to the penis.

That’s one step forward and two steps back.

Now, if you really want to get your drink on, check out my review ofmale enhancement pills that work immediately and you can take with alcohol.

Where can I buy it?

For Hims requires a virtual “doctor’s visit” of its members, so the product is only sold through the company’s official website.

Check it out here: www.ForHims.com

How much is it?

For Hims pricing structure is simple and affordable.

It’s $30 per month.

Your first purchase will come out to $35 after a small medical fee.

For Hims costs $30 per month
Image: forhims.com

It is a monthly subscription service, so your credit card will be charged monthly, and you’ll continue to receive the product until you cancel.

Is there a guarantee?

Unfortunately, For Hims does not offer a guarantee on the product.But this is typical with these online “prescription-based” ED companies.

Alpha TRT Review
Image: risk.net

Recommendations

Well, it is Sildenafil, and it’s pretty darn cheap.

It might be worth a try if you’re not having any luck with OTC sex pills.

Also, if you’re not the patient type, For Hims seems to get you in and out and on with your life.

Other companies like Get Roman or Blue Chew, while great for other reasons, have an onboarding process that can be a big turnoff.

Snoop Dogg is a For Hims representative
Image: http://fanworld.co

Unfortunately, there aren’t many online reviews from satisfied users of Hims ED.

But Snoop Dogg gave it (his most likely paid) two thumbs up, so there’s that for whatever it’s worth.

With that being said, there is enough going for it within its ingredients and overall formula to suggest that it is actually likely effective and the for the most part reasonable price tag, I would say that it is worth testing out.

Also, I’m not too troubled by the fact that the company offers several different products.

As far as I can tell, it seems like they have a high standard for each of their lines.

At the end of the day, you don’t have much to lose, so why not give it a whirl?

Unico Nutrition Vulcan Review

Unico Nutrition Vulcan Review

unico nutrition vulcan fat burner review

We often come across fat burning supplements that claim to help with building muscles and cutting fat fast.

Unfortunately, not all are true to their claims.

There are some products out there that play on the nations’ wish to lose weight fast but don’t actually deliver any results.

They usually make quite the case for themselves and really try to sell you on how what their product has to offer is miles ahead of the competition, whether this is true or not.

One way to choose an effective supplement is by selecting a brand that has a good reputation among consumers.

Unico Nutrition is a well-known supplement company that is prominent on Facebook and Instagram.

It claims to deliver excellent products and high-quality results to its customers.

Given the distinctive design and fresh visuals it seems Unico are marketing themselves as a company for millennials and young people.

It even has a swag section on its website selling tank tops and caps…

But can the Unico Nutrition Vulcan Advanced Muscle Toner stand up to the claims it makes?

Let’s find out in my Unico Nutrition Vulcan review.

How to Use Unico Nutrition Vulcan – Is it Safe?

A container of Unico Nutrition Vulcan Muscle Toner contains 60 servings.

unico nutrition vulcan dosage

Unico recommends taking two Vulcan Nutrition Toner capsules twice daily, at least 20 to 30 minutes before having a meal.

So, this means that one $49 bottle will last you one month.

It is also apparently possible increase the dosage up to four capsules twice a day (so eight capsules per day).That sounds quite excessive to us, if you were to select this product we would advise to start with four pills in total per day, in order to check your tolerance levels.

What Is Unico Nutrition Vulcan?

four main functions of Unico Nutrition Vulcan

Unico Nutrition Inc. has been active for more than five years now, producing weight loss and bodybuilding supplements which it says are pure and highly effective.

Its products aim to help users reduce fat stores and rapidly tone the muscles, without having to spend hours in the gym.

Unico Nutrition Vulcan Advanced Muscle Toner is one of their products that aims to deliver impressive results, quickly and naturally.

Unico claims that the Vulcan Nutrition Toner provides four main functions:

  • Rapid fat burning
  • Improved carbohydrate digestion
  • Boosted focus and increases thermogenic energy
  • Extra muscle growth and healthier joints

This is rather an impressive list but just like many weight loss products it could be that these benefits are overstated.

In the following sections, we will examine the formula and ingredients, investigate the company behind this product, and have a look at what real customers are saying.

Unico Nutrition Vulcan – What Ingredients are in the toner capsules?

First things first.

Let’s briefly summarize the product formula by breaking it down into each individual ingredient and how they are meant to work.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl (625 mg)

Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl and improved blood flow

This compound is an amino acid that helps improve the blood flow in the body.

Due to this property, it can help reduce muscle soreness post-exercise and enhance recovery.

It also assists in the transportation of fat from bodily stores, to be burned as a fuel source.

Not a bad ingredient, if we were being picky we’d say 625 mg seems to be rather a high dose and could be stealing space from other, more effective ingredients.

L-Tyrosine (250 mg)

L-Tyrosine and increased attention

Tyrosine is a dietary supplement that aids in increasing attention, alertness and focus.

It helps the central nervous system function more actively.

This is a capable ingredient to counter stress and anxiety that can otherwise limit productivity.

Whilst L-Tyrosine is undoubtedly effective it is the type of substance more commonly found in pre-workouts, not female fat burners.

Green tea leaf extract (250 mg)

Green Tea extract leaves

Green tea contains a compound called “epigallocatechin” (EGCG).

This compound is known for its capacity to increase the rate of fat burning in the body.

Furthermore, green tea can boost calorie burn by elevating the metabolism.

Caffeine Anhydrous (75 mg)

Caffeine Anhydrous and increased focus and energy

This common stimulant is in the form of dehydrated powder.

Caffeine has been clinically proven to boost the metabolic rate, as well as increase focus and energy.

We wouldn’t usually endorse articicial caffeine in a female supplement, but 75mg is a low dose.

Gymnema Leaf Extract

Gymnema Leaf Extract helps reduce cravings for sugar

GS4 Plus is one of the primary ingredients in the Vulcan Advanced Muscle Toner that provides this supplement with its unique properties.

This natural herb supposedly helps reduce cravings for sugar, decreases absorption of glucose, increases insulin generation, regulates cholesterol levels, and ultimately aids with weight loss.

ActiCissus (25 mg)

ActiCissus and fighting joint pain

This is a branded ingredient which consists of cissus quadrangularis.

This plant is popular with bodybuilders as it helps fight joint pain and protects against injury.

It can also promote fat loss and preserve muscle mass.

Cayenne pepper extract (25 mg)

Cayenne pepper extract and improved metabolism

This natural extract helps improve metabolism, thus burning calories faster and releasing the energy throughout the body.

It can also reduce hunger cravings.

Synephrine (10 mg)

Powerful stimulant Synephrine

This extract helps increase metabolic rate, energy levels and rates of fat burning.

It is a powerful stimulant that is chemically similar to ephedrine.

This ingredient should be treated with caution as it has been known to cause side effects when used at high doses.

Unico Nutrition Vulcan Side Effects

Insomnia caused by Unico Nutrition Vulcan

While Unico Vulcan does not list any possible side effects related to the product, there may still be some, based on the various ingredients present in the supplement.

For instance, caffeine anhydrous has been known to be a potent stimulant.

The FDA claims that a spoon of this powder is equal to almost 28 cups of coffee.

Thus, this supplement may cause sleeplessness, crash, and jitters.

It is also not recommended for pregnant women as, in rare cases, it can lead to complications.

Unico claims the product to be “low-stim,” which means that the caffeine content is low.

However, it still can be harmful for some who are sensitive to caffeine.

This also contradicts the use of synephrine in this supplement.

Combining synephrine and caffeine can be dangerous in high doses or to sensitive individuals.

Synephrine can increase blood pressure and elevate heart rate to concerning levels.

You can also face side effects from acetyl-l-carnitine HCl, as this is known to cause nausea and dry mouth.

Unico Nutrition Vulcan Reviews

Unico Nutrition Vulcan user reviews

As the company only sells Unico Nutrition Vulcan Advanced Toner through its official website, we could only find product reviews there.

Most Unico Nutrition reviews 2018 were positive about the supplement.

Many users mentioned that this supplement helped them manage their cravings, thus limiting their fat intake and promoting weight loss.

On the contrary, other customers indicated they didn’t notice any difference in terms of weight loss, but they did feel less hungry.

A few customers complained that they experienced dry mouth.

To counter it, they recommended drinking lots of water.

Others felt sick for the first few days, but they adapted to the pills in later stages of its daily dosage.

Some customers even mention in their reviews that the supplement did not show any results whatsoever.

Others mention feeling energetic due to the thermogenic features of the product, but felt that their weight did not reduce at all.

We find it hard to come up with a proper conclusion based on these reviews, as they were all present on the official website and not from 3rd party sources.

There were also no before and results displayed for the product which we found disappointing.

This was the same for their other products, independent feedback when it came to the Unico Nutrition Athena reviews and Unico Yumino reviews was scarce!

The lack of photographic evidence means we cannot be sure whether these reviews are genuine and unbiased.

Where to Buy It?

The official website of Unico Nutrition Vulcan

If you are wondering where to buy Unico Nutrition Vulcan, it is only available on the official website.

We were surprised to find it absent from online stores such as Amazon, but perhaps it will be listed in the future.

Currently, Unico are offering a discounted price of $49.99, with an additional offer that earns 2,500 ‘Sparkling Unicorn Points” for the customer.

These points contribute towards discounts for other purchases available on their official website.

Who Makes Unico Nutrition Vulcan?

Unico Nutrition Inc. company

Unico Nutrition Inc., located in New Hampshire, United States, manufactures Vulcan Advanced Muscle Toner and other supplements for burning stored body fat and increasing muscle productivity.

Unico Nutrition Inc. comprises of professional bodybuilders, physical trainers, and other spokespersons, who are experienced in the field of weight loss and muscle toning.

The company aims to provide quality products, without adding any risky ingredients.

We found a couple of complaints related to the company products, but they seem to have resolved most of these at the time of writing.

Pros and Cons

pros and cons of unico nutrition vulcan

Pros

  • Ingredients focus on reducing body fat, dividing carbs and strengthening joints and muscles.
  • Boosts the central nervous system to promote focus.
  • Supports digestion.

Cons

  • Only available on official website.
  • Not suitable for all consumers, as some of them did not witness any changes to their body.
  • Contains highly stimulating ingredients.
  • Official reviews are not supported by photos.

The Bottom Line

Unico Nutrition Vulcan weight loss supplement

Unico Nutrition Vulcan does contain certain ingredients known to be capable of encouraging weight loss.There are still some key ingredients missing though.

But it is hard to tell whether this product really works as there is a major absence of before and after pics from users.

The high quantity of stimulants in a supposedly “low-stim” product also troubles us.

If you are sensitive to stimulants then maybe it is not a good choice for you, but then again that may also be why it could yield results for you as well.

Our advice is, if you want to try it out, then make sure to use the lower recommended dosage in the beginning.

No, Morgan Freeman Did NOT Use That ED Pill

So I’m lazily scrolling through my Yahoo feed, like I do every morning, when I stumbled upon this sponsored ad:

morgan freeman ed pill

Normally I don’t click on these, but my second cup of coffee hadn’t kicked in yet, so I figured I’d click around to read the B.S. articles before I got my day going.

When I clicked on the ad, it took me to a page that seemingly was the website “GQ”.

morgan freeman supposed gq article

The title of the article stated the following:

Morgan Freeman Enters Male Vitality Market With New Supplement, Finds Cure For ED & Male Aging Issue

Right away I was skeptical….

Morgan Freeman…the actor???

morgan freeman the actor

Surely they can’t be serious?!

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp
Last One, I promise!

So this whole article goes through this big long discussion of how he teamed up with researchers and scientists to develop some new miracle breakthrough in male vitality.

The name of this breakthrough is none other than Alpha TRT, a product I wrote about way back in July of 2018.

There’s just one problem…

This entire article is one big pile of horseshit…

How do I know this?

Red Flag #1– This is NOT The Real GQ Site

You may have missed it (most people do), but if you look at the URL in the address bar, you’ll see that this is not the REAL GQ website.

fake gq site

You’ll see that it says “trendteam365.com”, NOT GQ.com.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/real gq

This is further supported by the fact that, no matter WHAT link on the page you click on, it takes you to a 400 error (bad request).

Watch the video below to see what I’m talking about:

Red Flag #2– The Product Keeps Changing

So when I originally clicked on the ad, it was telling me that Morgan Freeman developed / uses Alpha TRT.

alpha trt 1

20 Minutes later, I go back to the ad and now it says he developed a pill called RX1.

rx1

So if it’s true, then which one is it?

Red Flag #3– The “All In With Chris Hayes” Interview

So this article goes on to say that Freeman mentioned this new breakthrough in erectile dysfunction on an interview with Chris Hayes on MSNBC.

Well, I just watched the entire 7 min. segment, and not ONCE did he mention anything about Alpha TRT OR RX1.

Here’s the clip if you don’t believe me:

Red Flag #4– A “Life Changing” Product

Throughout this article, they note that Freeman has been talking about Alpha TRT or RX1 in numerous interviews, gushing about how great of a product it is.

morgan freeman phone interview cnbc

Yet, if you google things like “morgan freeman interview cnbc alpha trt” or “morgan freeman interview cnbc rx1“, you’ll come up short.

alpha trt phone interview freeman

There’s one reason and one reason only for this…

Because Morgan Freeman did NOT talk about either one, nor does he have any association with them.

Red Flag #5– Facebook Comments

If you scroll to the bottom of this ad, you’ll see a bunch of Facebook comments talking about how great “these pills” are.

fake comments on facebook

They don’t exactly mention the product by name, but who’s kidding who…

It could be any pill at this point. These are ALL FAKE comments, guys.

Recommendation

I think it’s pretty clear that this entire Morgan Freeman ed pill thing is a complete hoax.

Whoever is behind it is making a TON of money, all at the expense of you.

They put up ads like this to make you THINK that it has some credibility, but nothing could be further from the truth.

If you’re looking for a REAL supplement that can help you with things like ED, low-testosterone, or even something to help lose weight, shoot me an email.

I can recommend products that REALLY do work, and don’t run scammy advertisements that try to bilk you from your hard earned money.

If you ever come across a supplement claiming that Morgan Freeman (or ANY celebrity for that matter) endorses it, send me an email with the link and I’ll take a look.

So many male enhancement supplements to write about, so little time.

I recently had someone ask me if I have ever heard of a supplement called Virility Intense.

I get these types of requests all the time, and usually I do a quick google search to see if anyone has ever written about it.

What struck me about Virility Intense was the fact that, when I ran a google search, there was almost NOONE that has written a review on it.

In fact, nearly every result that came back was for a completely different product called Virility Ex.

Nonetheless, I wanted to learn more about it, so I started digging.

1. What is Virility Intense?

Usually when I research a supplement or pill out, there’s no shortage of information available on it.

virility intense review

Everything from who makes it, to what ingredients it has, to how much it costs, is readily available.

This was not the case with the Virility Intense male enhancement formula…

There’s literally NO official website for them, no listing on Amazon, and no one talking about them.

So where am I getting all of these requests to review it?

What’s drumming up all of the interest?

My first thought is that they are sending out a bunch of mailers.

There’s a bunch of other companies I’ve seen doing this in the past.

Supplements like Eroxin send out these REALLY lewd mailers, complete with pictures of big d$%ks, women longing after them, etc.

Evoxa was another one, as well as All Weekend pill.

If you try searching for either one of those pills in google, you’re likely not going to find much about it.

2. What are the ingredients in Virility Intense?

Luckily, and after a whole lot of digging, I came across this eBay listing.

All of the info on it is in what looks to be Spanish, but the label itself is in English.

Here’s a snapshot of the label:

virility intense ingredients label

It’s kind of hard to see, so here’s the full list of ingredients in Virility Intense:

  • Niacin
  • Zinc oxide
  • Muira Puama
  • Tribulus Terrestris
  • Kola Nut
  • Maca
  • Eleuthero Extract
  • Catuaba bark extract
  • Avena Sativa
  • Nettle Root
  • Pumpkin seed
  • Ginger
  • Sarsaparilla
  • L-arginine
  • Barren Wort
  • Korean Ginseng
  • American Ginseng
  • L-Citrulline
  • Orchic Substance
  • Boron Citrate

3. Are there any side effects?

Side effects are always possible with ANY supplement, including the ones I personally recommend.

On the side of the product label, they do mention that you should discontinue using if you experience any adverse reactions.

how to take virility intense

They also mention that you should not exceed the stated dose, which is 2 capsules daily with an 8 oz glass of water.

From the formula, some of the more common side effects you may experience with Virility Intense include:

  • Flushing of the skin, caused by the Niacin content. (Source)
  • Lowered blood pressure, caused by the L-Arginine. (Source)
  • Cramping, diarrhea, and nausea, all caused by Tribulus Terrestris. (Source)

Clearly the formula may cause some issues, but the bottom line is this: does it REALLY work?

Well, that’s a bit unknown. Here’s why…

4. Virility Intense Reviews

As I mentioned prior, finding reviews for this male enhancement supplement was nearly impossible.

If you run a search on google for the term “Virility Intense reviews”, this is what you see:

no reviews for virility intense

All of the results listed are talking about Virility Ex, NOT Virility Intense.

There could be one of 2 things going on here:

  1. Since no one has written anything about Virility Intense, googles algorithm is just using the term that’s most closely related to it.
  2. Google REALLY wants you to buy Virility Ex 🙂

I can’t imagine the second part would be true, but I guess stranger things have happened.

So who the hell makes it?

This is where things start to get a bit interesting.

When I was looking at the label of Virility Intense, I noticed a little thing about the bottom about the distributor.

who makes virility intense

It says the following…

Distributed by: Probiotic Force
Capital Plaza Tower, Floor 19, Office 19A, Costa del este, Panana City 0808, Panama.

When I googled the address, this Trip Advisor post was the first thing to come up.

virility intense discussion on trip advisor

As you can see, there are a TON of complaints about these guys ripping off unsuspecting customers.

Their modus operandi is not much different than many other similar scams, let’s say, and it seems as though Virility Intense fits the same bill.

I suspect the case is the same for this pill.

5. Will Virility Intense increase my penis size?

I’m not even sure if they are claiming this, but the simple answer is NO.

There is NO pill that will do this, despite the dozens claiming to do so.

Click Here to read why permanent enlargement is just not possible with pills alone.

6. Where can I buy Virility Intense?

The only place I saw Virility Intense for sale was the eBay listing I mentioned earlier.

At the time of this review, it was selling for $13.95.

Keep in mind, however, that once this listing expires, there will be virtually no other places to buy it.

If it ends up on shelves of CVS, Walmart, or even Amazon, I’ll be sure to update this review.

7. How can I cancel their free trial?

I’m guessing that these guys are running some sort of free trial of Virility Intense, mainly because I’m seeing a lot of guys searching for things like “virility intense customer service” and ” virility intense phone number”.

Unfortunately at the moment I don’t have any of those details, but I hope to find out soon.

If that is concerning to you and raises a red flag, well, it should; if you sign up for a “free trial” or need to contact a business, it should be nothing but easy to do so if you need anything cleared up or to cancel services.

If you or someone you know has used Virility Intense pills, please have them contact me here.

8. Recommendation

Like a lot of other supplements we’ve reviewed in the past, there’s just WAY too little to go on to make a recommendation here.

Sure, the ingredients list is pretty good.

But there are too many questions that are left unanswered, like:

Where is their website?

Where can I buy it?

Why can’t I find any reviews on it?

The fact that the name of the company that distributes it is returning negative feedback about their business should definitely raise a few red flags.

I suspect that they are scamming people with a free trial, and I’ll continue digging to see if I can find out anything else about them.

Somaderm HGH Review

Aging sucks.

Big time.

There are a gazillion so-called homeopathic products on the market that claim to be the fountain of youth — including Somaderm HGH gel.

Reverse-aging, anti-aging, youthification… you name it and these companies have coined a term to catch your attention.

In this billion dollar industry, some products rise to the top, while 99.9% of all other products fade away like a bad dream.

And it’s really no surprise.

Special Note!!

If you’re looking for a truly effective HGH releaser, we recommend you check out a product called HyperGH 14X.

hypergh 14x

It’s a highly-effective Somatropin HGH alternative, and is by far the best I’ve ever tested (and I’ve tested literally DOZENS!).

Click Here to learn more about HyperGH 14X in my comprehensive review.

Why?

Because there is no such thing as a fountain-of-youth product that can reverse the aging process.

Turning back the clock is unfortunately just not possible, which doesn’t mean there aren’t things we can do to make it go smoother, but reversing aging is impossible.

I mean, last I checked, 10 out of 10 people die in the end.

There are a lot of anti-aging products like Somaderm HGH, but everyone dies in the end
Image: shirtigo.co

Ouch, right? :-/

But it’s not all doom-and-gloom.

Some products DO help to “manage” and perhaps “slow down” the aging process.

Some even do a pretty good job at boosting energy, helping you to lose weight, improve sleep, etc.

So when I recently received an email from a guy asking if I’ve ever tried New U Life Somaderm HGH gel, I just had to dig in and take a good look at it.

I received an email from a guy trying to get me to review Somaderm HGH

I must say, there’s something different about this dietary supplement.

It contains Human Growth Hormone (HGH), which we’ll learn more about in a bit.

But does it really work? Is it a great opportunity or big scam?

And is it right for you and your health goals?

Let’s find out!

What is Somaderm HGH?

According to the makers of the product, “New U Life’s SOMADERM Gel is the only transdermal, FDA registered product, containing Homeopathic human growth hormone.”

Let’s stop right there.

FDA Approved Vs. FDA Registered

You should know that “FDA registered” is NOT the same as “FDA approved.” (Source)

Somaderm is FDA registered, not FDA approved
Image: newulife.com

Almost anyone can “register” a product, but the Food and Drug Administration will only put their stamp of approval on products that are proven to be safe.

Anyhow, you apply the skin cream to the skin (Captain Obvious here), and it goes directly into your bloodstream.

Check out the Somaderm promotional video…

somaderm youtube video

Why the bloodstream?

Isn’t that a little… much?

The makers of the product claim that pills and sprays are ineffective, and injections are invasive and can cause serious side effects.

Hence the cream, and hence the bloodstream.

The idea is that when it hits the blood, it slowly elevates HGH levels in the human body.

Somaderm HGH works by entering your bloodstream
Just your average bloodstream.

Image: edie.net

For as much as they praise the HGH hormone as “highly-studied and well-documented,” they don’t say what it is, how it works, and why we should care about it.

But don’t worry… that’s what I’m here for.

Who makes Somaderm gel?

We’ll dig into the ingredients in just a bit.

But first, it’s important you learn about the company behind the product, and whether or not they can be trusted.

Welcome to New U Life…

New U Life is the company that makes Somaderm HGH gel for the skin
Image: newulife.com

When you first land on the company’s official website, you get the impression that it’s a small outfit, selling just one product: Somaderm.

Alex Goldstein is at the helm of the ship, and from what I can tell, he seems like a decent guy.

Alex Goldstein is the founder of the MLM that sells Somaderm HGH gel
Image: https://newulife.com/

But here’s the kicker.

With just a little digging, you learn what it’s really all about.

You see, on their ‘Mission & Vision’ section of the website, I came across this…

New U Life Mission and Vision
Image: newulife.com

Alright, hold the phone!

It says, “We believe that your financial freedom is the byproduct of hard work and loving what you do every day.”

My ‘Financial Freedom’? I thought this was an anti-aging cream?

What’s this talk about making money and hard work?

And just like that, you feel the cold fingers of a multi-level marketing company tugging at your pocketbook or purse.

Welcome to New U Life…

What is New U Life MLM?

It’s just that, a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that you— YES YOU! —can be a part of.

Oh joy.

New U Life, the makers of Somaderm gel, is a MLM company
Image: investopedia.com

If you don’t know what an MLM company is, just think Mary Kay, Amway, or Arbonne.

Yeah, it’s one of those.

Does this mean it’s a scam or some pyramid scheme that you should look out for?

Well, we’ll get to that.

But for now it’s important you know the backstory of the company.

NewULife Compensation Plan

Like Most Ponzi Scheme / MLM-type programs, the compensation plans are very difficult to understand.

If you want a thorough explanation of the compensation plans, you should watch this video below:

new u life compensation plan youtube video

He does a pretty good job of breaking it all down in an “easy to understand” format.

If you just want the key takeaways about their network marketer compensation plans, here they are:

Retail Commissions

If you sell 1 bottle of Somaderm HGH at a retail cost of $169.99 to retail customers, you make $45 per bottle.

Retail customers are defined as customers that have not signed up for a membership.

Autoship Customers

Autoship customers pay a slightly lower price of $149.99 per bottle of Somaderm Gel.

For each customer that you sign up for the program, you’ll earn a retail commission of $25 per customer per month.

As an example, if you were to recruit and maintain 12 autoship customers in one calendar month, you will earn a total of $300 in retail commissions.

If all of these customers re-order the same quantity every month, you will continue to earn $300 a month in retail commissions.

This is what’s known as a residual commission.

There are several other ways to earn with New U Life, including a recruitment commission, hitting Coach rank, Life Coach rank, Ambassador, and Diamond Ambassadors levels.

Some affiliates earn as much as $6,000 a month with the program as a network marketer.

They even have a car bonus for qualified affiliates.

Joining Newulife

When you enroll, you have 4 options:

Executive Pack ($999): Which includes 8 bottles of Somaderm Gel, 1 year membership, replicated website, and access to their training materials.

Pro Pack ($559): Includes 4 bottles of Somaderm Gel, 1 year membership, Replicated website, and access to training materials.

NewU Pack ($199): 1 bottle of Somaderm, 1 year memebership, replicated website, and access to training.

Distributor Starter Pack ($59): No product, 1 year membership, replicated website.

Let’s dive further into the actual product, because believe me, it’s an eye opener.

What are the ingredients in Somaderm HGH?

Somaderm’s human growth hormone gel contains three active ingredients:

  • Glandula Suprarenalis Suis
  • Thyroidinum
  • and Somatropin

And a whole boatload of inactive ingredients…here’s the label:

somaderm gel ingredients label

Allow me to put some meaning behind all these big words.

The National Drug Codes List says that Glandula Suprarenalis Suis is just a generic name for HGH. Source

Thyroidiumis a thyroid stimulating hormone that is said to help with thyroid problems.One study claims that it has beneficial effects when it comes to weight loss and symptomatic relief. Source

Finally, Somatropin 30Xis yet another name for growth hormone.

It is most often injected into the skin, to “treatgrowth failure in children and adults who lack natural growth hormone.” Source

According to the certified homeopath site Homeowatch.org, the 30X in this homeopathic solution simply means that the original substance has been diluted by 1 followed by 30 0’s. Source

The makers of Somaderm HGH claim that the ingredients are ethically sources, raw and 100% safe
Image: newulife.com

And of course, the makers of the product claim that the ingredients are 100% safe and natural.

So What is Human Growth Hormone (HGH)?

Somaderm HGH is a human growth hormone gel that you apply to the skin

All of these ingredients point to the human growth hormone that, some say, helps to:

  • Improve bone and joint health
  • Increase muscle
  • Reduce body fat
  • Improve sleep
  • Strengthen the immune system

It’s also used for a wide variety of medical condition, including:

  • Turners Syndrome
  • Prader-Willi syndrone
  • Chronic Kidney disease
  • HGH deficiency
  • Muscle wasting disease associated with HIV/AIDS(Source)But here’s the thing…

Growth hormones have a long history of abuse, especially in the world of sports.

One only has to recall the golden years of baseball that were marred by excessive doping. Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco… these household names became synonymous with “juicing” for top-shelf performance.

Although Somaderm HGH is not a steroid, people often abuse HGH like on
Image: reuters.com

While HGH is not a steroid (it’s actually a protein-based hormone that’s made naturally by our pituitary gland), many people use and abuse HGH supplements and injections for similar performance-enhancing reasons.

For instance, Harvard conducted a study on HGH, and the preliminary commentary is pretty telling.

Harvard conducted a study on HGH, the active ingredient in Somaderm HGH
Image: health.harvard.edu

And here’s the irony.

From outside-looking-in, HGH works pretty damn well.

But, upon closer investigation, you’ll find it’s mostly smoke and mirrors.

Athletes who take HG “tryto benefit from the known anabolic action of the drug, to increase their muscle mass and power.” Source

While there is evidence that they do work,have a look at the findings of Harvard’s research on the efficacy of HGH on athletes….

“After receiving daily injections for an average of 20 days, the subjects who received GH increased their lean body mass (which reflects muscle mass but can also include fluid mass) by an average of 4.6 pounds.

That’s a big gain — but it did not translate into improved performance.

In fact, GH did not produce measurable increases in either strength or exercise capacity.

And the subjects who got GH were more likely to retain fluid and experience fatigue than were the volunteers who got the placebo. Source

Not so good.

“Right,” you might say, “…but I’m NOT an athlete, I’m a 69-year-old couch potato looking for a little extra somethin’.”

Well, to that I say…

The Harvard researchers conducted an almost identical study of the effectiveness of HGH on 69-year-old couch potatoes. 😉

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/untitled design
Image: health.harvard.edu

And the results? Not.

So.

Good.

Instead of improving things like cholesterol, triglycerides, bone density, blood sugar and insulin levels — the growth hormone recipients “experienced a high rate of side effects.” Source

Which brings me to my next point.

What are the side effects of Somaderm HGH?

Leanbean has very few side effects

According to WebMD, the side effects of HGH might include:

  • Nerve, muscle, or joint pain
  • Swelling due to fluid in the body’s tissues (edema)
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Numbness and tingling of the skin
  • High cholesterol levels
  • Lowered blood pressure
  • Hot flashes

But keep in mind Somaderm HGH is a homeopathic dietary supplement and packs a much lower dose than your typical HGH injection, so if you do experience these side effects, they will likely be minimal.

Nevertheless, from the research I’ve read, HGH has varying results for those who take it.

It should also be noted that if you are suffering from a medical condition like high blood pressure, you should check with your doctor before using Somaderm Gel.

Is it a scam?

Is Pharmacy RX One a scam?
Image: beststayhomejobs.com

Well, it is an MLM company pushing the product.

And we have seen just how ineffective — and perhaps dangerous — HGH can be.

So I’ll let you put two-and-two together.

User reviews

YouTube is filled with “honest reviews” of Somaderm HGH.

But I’ll tell you what… I trust them about as far as I can throw them.

I don't trust Somaderm HGH
Image: dreamstime.com

The reviews I found we’re unabashedly made by New U Life members, and they come across as blatant advertisements.

So I won’t even bother sharing them with you.

With that said, I wasn’t able to find any unbiased user reviews of Somaderm HGH.

This, too, is rather telling.

My Personal Results

somaderm gel

So my wife and I decided to try a bottle of Somaderm Gel out for one month, and I have to say I’m a little disappointed at the lack of results.

It comes in a pump bottle that stands about 8 inches high, and depending on how often and how much you’re pumping, can last for as long as 2 months.

The directions on the label state that you should apply one full pump in the morning and 1 full pump in the evening.

Since my wife and I were sharing the bottle, we did about a 1/2 pump each twice a day.

I will say this, the gel is pretty easy to apply.

You essentially have to rotate around your body to various spots where there is thin skin with visible veins.

That means spots like under your eyes,under your palms, on your wrists, inner elbow, behind the knees, and even the top of your feet.

I did this 2 times a day on a 5 day on, 2 day off basis, as instructed.

First, the pros…

On the very first night, I had one of the most vivid dreams I had in a long time. As I mentioned in the comments below, I was shaking off a two-day hangover.

So sleep was something I desperately needed…

Were these vivid dreams the result of applying Somaderm?

I don’t know.

Healthline claims that vivid dreams may have something to do with the brain trying to eliminate any unnecessary information or memories, while processing and storing what’s important. (see that article here)

In any event, I was actually a bit excited that I had these vivid dreams because I had read several posts of people who’ve used Somaderm experience the exact same thing.

On the second day, I would say that I felt a bit more energetic.

Maybe it was placebo effects, maybe it was the Somaderm, I just don’t know.

But I could definitely sense something.

Further along in the test, is where things started to fall apart.

I can say with 100% certainty that I did not experience any of the benefits that the people who have used Somaderm claim.

There was no better quality sleep, no decreased body fat, no increase in lean muscle, and no relief from joint pain.

In short, there was virtually nothing.

My 30 day honest assessment shows that it just didn’t work.

With all of that said, I actually DO think the product has some potential.

I mean, there’s 100’s of reviews scattered throughout the internet claiming that it’s changed their life for the better.

In fact, my wife just so happens to be one of those people.

She’s going to be posting her Somaderm review on her blog WomensBlogTalk.com, and as soon as she does I will link to it.

Somaderm FAQ’s

How do I use it?

As I mentioned earlier, the directions on the label state that you should apply one full pump in the morning and 1 full pump in the evening.

how to use somaderm gel

You pump the gel onto the thinnest layers of your skin, where you can see your veins.

These areas include:

  • Armpits
  • Forearms
  • Wrists
  • Behind the knees
  • etc.

Image: newulife.com

Where can I buy it?

You can only purchase Somaderm HGH from the New U Life website:Newulife.com

Because of the MLM business structure, it is not available at physical or online retailers.

How much is it?

You can score a bottle of the stuff for one easy payment of $149.99.

Somaderm HGH is very expensive
Image: newulife.com

Wait… what?! $149.99 for a bottle of gel?And that’s if you ARE a member of the scam, I mean club.

If you’re not a member, you’ll have to fork over $169.99!

I literally just lost a year off my life from sticker shock alone, thus negating any potential anti-aging benefits from the product One step forward, two steps back.

Damn.

This is starting to sound like one of those pyramid schemes…

Up to this point, I tried my best to give Somaderm HGH the benefit of the doubt.

But this ridiculous price tag is the nail in the coffin.

Somaderm HGH is very expensive and does not offer a guarantee
Image: twitchy.com

Is there a guarantee?

Nope.

As far as I can tell, Somaderm HGH does not come with any guarantee.

The whole ‘risk vs. reward’ scale is definitely weighing heavy on the ‘risk’ end.

In other words, I will NOT jump at the chance to pay $160 for a bottle of gel that a) I’m not sure even works, b) Has done nothing to earn my trust (no testimonials, reviews, etc.) and c) Doesn’t come with a money-back guarantee.

Nuh uh.

No way, Jose.

Bottom Line

After finally having tested Somaderm Gel out, I’m still a bit on the fence.

I can tell you this, I’ve personally used real hgh in the past, and it didn’t even come close.

There’s plenty of people who sell the product trying to call B.S. on my review. (see the comments below)

What can I say?

I gave it a fair shake, and it didn’t work for me.

What do you want me to say? That it did? That it works like real human growth hormone gel?

Well, I’m not gonna do that, not for this or any other homeopathic product.

I have somewhat of a reputation to uphold, and if you’ve read any of my other reviews, I do one thing and one thing only:

Tell it like it is.

I could just as easily lie to my readers and say it’s the best thing since sliced bread, and earn a commission on selling the product.

I can’t in good faith put myself in the corner of a product that just did not do the trick for me personally and still sleep well at night.

My visitors rely on me providing my HONEST assessment of a products worth, and no commission is worth that trust.

Again, that’s just not how I roll.

Personally speaking, I actually DO think that Somaderm Gel works for a vast swath of people.

Based on the reviews I’ve read, it may certainly help with weight loss, reduced body fat, and possibly even increase hgh levels.

However, like with any supplement, there will be a certain percentage of the population that are “non-responders”.

I’m 37 years old, and the vast majority of the other reviews I’ve read seem to be posted by men and women in their 40’s and older.

THESE are the people that it seems to work for, not necessarily a younger generation.

BoomBod Review

1. Boombod 7-Day Achiever Review

Amber Rose.

When you think of her, you probably think, killer curves.

amber rose whoa

She looks good, doesn’t she?

Well, she is also the ambassador for Boombod.

The makers of Boombod and some Boombod reviews claim that when you use the product, you will look like the celebrity.

boombod 7 day weight loss

While there has been a lot of fanfare around Boombod, there is no concrete evidence as to whether it is an efficient fat burner.

On the one hand, it has Konjac Fiber that has an association with weight loss.

But on the other hand, the other ingredients in this product do not seem to have much evidence to support them.

There are many questions consumers have, for instance, what are my Boombod results likely to be? Is Boombod safe?

Is it a scam?

This Boombod 7-day achiever review will help you find the answers to your questions.

Let’s find out if this celebrity appetite suppressant is worth the fuss…

2. How to mix Boombod – is it safe?

When you receive your boombod package, you are going to find 21 sachets, 3 for every day you will use it.

You should use each sachet 30 minutes before a meal.

According to the use directions, all you need is a medium sized glass.

Empty one sachet into the glass, add water that fills a quarter of the glass, stir and drink.

Easy right?

We only have one problem with these directions.

Words like medium-sized and ¼ full are vague.

I would have preferred it if they had used exact measurements.

When it comes to safety, Boombod has a pretty clean track record.

Nothing serious has been reported so far.

However, some customers have suffered side effects from Boombod such as bloating, some stomach discomfort, flatulence and even diarrhea.

What is crazy is that it is supposed to help reduce bloating but in some cases seems to cause it instead.

If you are on any medication, you should also not try Boombod before talking to your physician.

3. Boombod, 7-day achiever, does it work faster than the competition?

Boombod is a new product, but we have already seen similar supplements a lot in the past.

They sell weight loss miracles and in the case of Boombod you will apparently start seeing weight loss results in 7 days.

However, they go further and say that for you to become skinny, you will have the product for four consecutive weeks.

The truth about weight loss is that it takes time, and often you may need to change your lifestyle to get the right results.

The sellers of Boombod claim that once you start using it, you no longer crave fast food and you end up eating less of other foods as well.

While this might help in the beginning, there isn’t much SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCRE to show that simply eating less leads to weight loss.

The biggest problem with this theory from my standpoint is that the body gets used to a routine.

Even when you exercise to lose weight, you have to change up and increase the intensity of the exercises otherwise they cease being effective.

The other thing to consider is your metabolism and after analyzing the 7 day achiever we can’t see anything in particular that would help you torch that fat.

4. The ingredients: Is Boombod more than just a weight loss supplement?

The main ingredient used in Boombod’s marketing is Glucomannan.

It is the main ingredient for weight loss and this one is believed to offer some benefits.

Once ingested, Glucomannan turns into a gel that lines the stomach lessening the space food can take.

This makes you eat less and ultimately lose weight.

Boombod also claims to pass through the digestive tract gathering food particles, and other toxins.

And it cleanses the body without a laxative effect.

There is also biotin which is a Vitamin B complex that helps convert food into energy.

The body produces enough biotin to cater to its needs already.

The other thing to remember is that is also water soluble and passes out in urine when ingested which makes ingesting it as a supplement counterproductive.

Boombod also contains iron that is not pivotal to weight loss but can improve the process. It gives you energy.

Most times when people do not eat properly, they end up with an iron deficiency which makes them feel fatigued and lethargic all the time.

Magnesium is the other significant mineral in this product.

While it is beneficial for overall health, it has no connection whatsoever to weight loss.

It is mostly important for building bones by increasing the body’s capability to absorb calcium.

It aso contributes to the production of testosterone in men and would be better suited in a MALE SUPPLEMENT than a weight loss one.

5. Boombod cost: miracle fat burner or a waste of money?

A pack of 21 sachets goes for $35. Yes that’s right, $35 for a one week supply!From time to time they do offer promotions and let’s face it at that price you’re going to need one.

We saw earlier that you need to use it for four weeks to get to your ideal weight.

The problem with this is that they do not offer specifics.

It would feel like a worthy investment if they at least had a rate.

Boombod is not exactly a fat burner.

It only makes you eat less when you take it before meals.

There are also just three for a day.

It can also be quite a hassle to use it in situations where you aren’t at home or in the office, like when you travel or are at a function.

You could argue that a fat burner would work better because you can take it anywhere and simply pop a pill to keep your intake consistent and at the correct times of the day.

Overall we don’t think it would be prudent to spend $140 on a 4 week supply of Boombod until there are studies that show precisely how it works and who it works for.

That is a lot of money to shell out on a product that has counterparts that are cheaper, more researched and easier to look to for information about than Boombod.

6. Hourglass Fit Vs Boombod – Which one wins?

Hourglass Fit is a women’s fat burner.Unlike Boombod, Hourglass Fit has been uses by professional athletes rather than celebrities.

You are advised to use it in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.

The product comes in capsule form rather than shots.

The two supplements do have one similarity, they both contain Glucomannan and SUPPRESS APPETITE.

But other than that, Hourglass Fit goes further and also addresses toning of the body, increased metabolism, and detoxification.

Regarding ingredients, while they share Glucomannan, Hourglass Fit seems to have more of them geared towards weight loss.

For instance, it has turmeric which contains an antioxidant called curcumin. This powerful ingredient increases body temperature which increases the metabolism which is excellent for weight loss.

Hourglass Fitalso has Green tea, as we know this is a super antioxidant and clean stimulant that aid fat burning.

When it comes to price, Hourglass Fit definitely wins.

While Boombod gives you just a week’s supply for $35, Hourglass Fit offers a month’s supply for only $59.

With regards to customer service, Boombod seems to take the medal.Hourglass Fit struggles as customers complain about shipping takes longer than the brand’s promise.

The Hourglass Fit website does not state any side effects.

However, it is not type of product that you should take whilst pregnant.

No weight loss supplement is!

It was a close call, but if you want to lose weight realistically, Hourglass Fit would be the ideal choice.

7. Boombod customer reviews – Is it living up to the scrutiny on Amazon and Youtube

Boombod has had celebrities with killer figures, and this has sparked a lot of interest in Boombod, and we all know when products are sold online, there are reviews.

So what are the people saying?

There are a few positive comments about Boombod.

One customer said they loved the product as she had been struggling to lose weight, but with Boombod had shed 1.3 Kgs.

Another one on her second box had already lost weight, had a lot of energy, she also said she had no cravings and loved the taste.

But there are also negative Boombod reviews.

A lot of people who used the product did not see any results.

Once customer said the product was all hype and NO RESULTS.

She also said the lunctime sachet made her feel bloated.

We would advise that you read reviews other than those on the website because they are all suspiciously positive.

No product has ever had 100% approval.

8. Boombod – The result

There has been a lot of buzz around Boombod; it claims to be a revolutionary product but ultimately we just couldn’t figure out what it was trying to achieve. Weight loss? Healthier skin and nails?

Or just better health overall?

This appetite suppressing drink should yield some benefits when it comes to reducing your hunger pangs.

However, we think it falls short of our favorite female fat burner overall.

That’s because it misses out the key benefits of a top metabolism boosting pill thanks to its failure to include some of the most effective natural stimulants and thermogenic ingredients.

Not to mention the fact it is eye-wateringly expensive.

Many of their claims are simply impossible to back up in any real, meaningful way and for the price, there is not enough to justify giving it a try and throwing down that much money.

3 Fast Facts About Synbiotic 365:

  1. It’s a probiotic that was created by Dr. Vincent Pedre
  2. It’s not available on Amazon, so don’t bother looking.
  3. It DOES work but NOT for everyone.

Now with that out of the way…

Frequently Asked Questions

Recommendation

Like a lot of people, I get my news from Yahoo.

The other day I was scrolling through the 400 stories about Trump when I came across this ad…

synbiotic 365 ad on yahoo

I’ve never been a big fan of vegetables to begin with, but it sparked my curiosity.

I clicked on the ad and it took me to a video sales page that looked something like this…

video sales page for synbiotic 365

Yup, it’s a sales video for a product called Synbiotic 365.

Now, I hate these things for a few reasons.

  1. I’d rather just read an article about something, rather than watch a video on the topic.
  2. Usually videos like this are long-winded and “salesy.”
  3. All-too-often they’re click-bait and a HUGE waste of time.

Sales videos like Synbiotic 365 are often just click bait

However, I decided in the interest of my visitors that I would sit through the whole thing.

Here’s what I found…

Gut health.

It’s a BIG problem in today’s society.

And a fella by the name of Dr. Vincent Pedre narrates the epidemic.

You see, turns out a lot of problems start in our gut.

Our “gut flora” plays a key role in keeping us healthy.

In this “internal garden,” we have good bacteria and bad bacteria.

Dr. Pedre says “When the bad bacteria takes over, your gut becomes a war zone.”

Synbiotic 365 seeks to restore the gut by adding good bacteria to your gut flora
Image: youtube.com

This doctor, who claims to be New York’s leading gut health authority, blasts certain vegetables (one in particular) for wreaking havoc on our bodies.

He says “odds are you’ve eaten this in the last 5 days.” And of course, the discovery will upset us, as it’s nothing short of “shocking.” This dramatic build-up goes on for 25 minutes before he actually shares this forbidden vegetable.

Which is…

Corn.

Dr. Pedre, the maker of Synbiotic 365 claims that corn is bad for gut health
Image: organicfacts.net

Yup, corn.

Looks tasty to me.

But because corn is doused with endless pesticides, Dr. Pedre says it’s become a “gut disruptor.” And the solution?

Synbiotic 365.

Eating foods doused in pesticides can cause everything from nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, to abdominal pain and dizziness.

Before we dive deeper into Synbiotic 365, let’s talk more about probiotics and their importance to our health.

1. What are Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Synbiotics?

Probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics are good for gut health and constipations
Image: https://www.vitamonk.com

Alright, let’s break this down real quick.Here’s what you need to know…

  1. According to WebMD, Probiotics are“live bacteria and yeasts that are good for you, especially your digestive system.” Probiotics are often found naturally in foods (like yogurt) and we can safely take them as supplements.Source
  2. Prebiotics are typically high-fiber foods that are taken to “feed” the probiotics, and they help to maintain the balance of gut bacteria. Source
  3. And finally, Synbiotics are foods or supplements that combine both probiotics and prebiotics in a sort of “synergism.” These are taken to “selectively stimulate the growth and by activating the metabolism of one or a limited number of health-promoting bacteria, thus improving host welfare.” Source

All together, these “biotics” promote overall integrative health.

Boom!

That’s your crash course in Pro- Pre- and Synbiotics.

2. What is Synbiotic 365?

Synbiotic 365 was created by the company United Naturals to help restore gut health.

Synbiotic 365 gut health packaging

The sales video and advertisement link to the company’s website, but there really isn’t much information about the product listed on the site.

Here’s what it does say…

United Naturals Synbiotic 365

Of course, poor gut-health can leave us suffering with a host of symptoms.

But the Synbiotic 365 video really hones in on one symptom in particular: obesity caused by overeating.

It’s the pain-point of SO many Americans.

It’s true… if you can speak to our weight-gain, and convince us you have the solution, then you’re pretty much guaranteed to get rich.

So naturally, Synbiotic 365 really focuses on the weight-loss benefits of their product. But does it really work?

And if so, how?

To answer that, let’s have a look at the ingredient profile.

3. What are the ingredients in Synbiotic 365?

Synbiotic 365 is loaded with vitamins, which is never a bad thing.

But if you wanted a vitamin, you’d go buy a vitamin. You’re here for the biotics.

As for the Probiotic Blend, it contains 30 billion CFU.

Look, I might not be the leading-authority on gut health and probiotics… but I’m a pretty smart guy, so I’ve done the research and here’s what you should know about CFU’s, or “colony forming units.”

Probiotics like Synbiotic 365 are measured in CFU, or colony forming unit

Alright, so Synbiotic 365 contains 3 billion of these guys in one serving (1 capsule), which should be more than plenty for your needs.

And the probiotic blend consists of the following good bacteria:

  • Lactobacillus acidophilus
  • Bifidobacterium lactis
  • Lactobacillus paracasei
  • Lactobacillus plantarum
  • Lactobacillus casei
  • Lactobacillus reuteri
  • Lactobacillus salivarius
  • Lactobacillus rhamnosus
  • Streptococcus thermophilus
  • Bifidobacterium bifidum
  • Bifidobacterium longum
  • Saccharomyces boulardii

4. Does Synbiotic 365 work?

And now… the moment of truth.

Does this supplement work to radically improve your mood, aide in digestion, help you to get better sleep, melt away those unwanted pounds, AND deliver on the handful of other benefits it promises?

The short answer is “Maybe.”

Does Synbiotic 365 work for better gut health?
Image: https://massolutions.biz

Hear me out…

First off, according to one study, “Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics have systemic effects on the host’s health metabolism and immune system.” Source

OK, that’s a good start, but what kind of “systemic effects” do they have?

Well, they’ve been found to help with many maladies, including diarrhea, constipation, inflammation, and have even been shown to alleviate symptoms of allergy, cancer, AIDS, and respiratory and urinary tract infections.Source

There are many benefits of probiotics like synbiotic 365
Image: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Seems legit.

But what about reversing the effects of obesity and aiding in weight loss?

According to the study above…

“A breakthrough paper published in Nature reported that microbial population present in the gut is different for obese and lean people, and that when obese people lost weight their microflora resembled to that of lean people.

Diets containing high fibers typically have lower degrees of fat and energy density, and helpful for reducing the risk of obesity by promoting satiety and weight loss.”

Probiotics and synbiotics were studied and published in Nature journal
Image: informafrica.com

So it’s true that “the introduction of probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics into the human diet is favourable for the intestinal microbiota.” And thus it may help with obesity, along with a number of other conditions.

We can also include on the long list of benefits the potential to “treatirritable bowel syndrome, enteritis, bacterial infections, various gastrointestinal disorders and diarrhoeas… and lactose intolerance.” Source

Finally, one study is even looking at evidence for the use of supplementation with probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics “for the prevention and treatment of dermatological diseases in adults.” Source

Some researchers are studying whether or not probiotics, like Synbiotic 365, can help with skin conditions
Image: madermatology.com

Phew! That’s a good handful of scientifically-backed reasons to start using probiotics.

Like yesterday.

However, with all that said…

Synbiotic 365 contains many of the same ingredients as other products sold on the market.

There’s really nothing special about it.

So if you do notice positive results by taking this supplement, you’d likely get the same results by using other synbiotics.

5. Who is Dr. Vincent Pedre?

Dr. Vincent Pedre is the brains behind Synbiotic 365.

Dr. Vincent Pedre is the creator of Synbiotic 365
Image: unitednaturals.com

A graduate of Cornell,Dr. Pedre is New York’s self-proclaimed leading authority on all things gut health. He’s the resident Doctor at United Naturals, and also runs Pedre Integrative Health in NY.

He was even featured on CBS…

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxHmLZWZ6DU?rel=0]

He’s written books on gut health and the GTI, including “Happy Gut.”

So from what I can tell, Dr. Vincent Pedre is the real deal when it comes to learning how to restore your gut health.

6. User reviews of Synbiotic 365

Reading through user reviews can tell us A LOT about the efficacy of a product, and what to experience while taking it.

Reviews also help to take the edge off the purchase.

Positive reviews = street cred.

Negative reviews = steer clear.

But what happens when there are NO reviews at all?

Synbiotic 365 does not have any user reviews yet
Image: tenor.com

Well, it should cause us to stop and ask some questions.

Is the product brand new? Has anyone even tried it yet? Why isn’t it sold on Amazon?

Was it so bad (or so good!) that people don’t even bother reviewing it?

In my experience, the more positive reviews a product has, the more we can trust it.

With that said, I searched high and low for user reviews of Synbiotic 365, and I came up bone dry.

So if you decide to try this product, just know that it might not be super effective.

synbiotic 365 reviews - kathleen

Her name is Kathleen, and she’s been using it for the last 10 days.

Watch her video review below or scroll down to read more.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhT9wrfks90]

Here are her thoughts so far:

9/28/18 – Day 1

As a result of being prescribed 5 days of Prednisone combined with a prescription for antibiotics (for a sore throat), I developed a yeast infection in my mouth.

I was then prescribed Nystatin to combat the thrush.

After 28 days on Nystatin the yeast is still there.

It seemed to get a little better while taking the Nystatin, but when I stopped taking the Nystatin it came back.

So, I decided to see if Synbiotic 365 would help with this condition.

Today is my first day of taking this product and so far, I don’t see any difference, but I think it’s too early to tell yet.

Day 2:No noticeable difference regarding my thrush condition or otherwise.

Day 3:Again no noticeable difference in any way.

Day 4:No noticeable difference with the thrush.

As a side note, I do seem to be having more bowel movements than I normally do.

Day 5:Still no noticeable change regarding the thrush.

Day 6: Same as day 5.

Day 7:It seems like that thrush condition might be beginning to lessen slightly.

I don’t notice quite as much of a cotton-like feeling on my tongue and there doesn’t seems to be as much of it on my tongue.

More of a spotty look than a solid covering.

I am not currently taking any other course of action so that I can measure the effectiveness of this product for this condition, except that I do try and stay away from sugar so as not to feed the yeast.

Day 8:Same as yesterday.

Day 9:Same as day 7.

Day 10:I can still see areas of yeast overgrowth on my tongue, especially in the morning, but it does seem to be less noticeable than when I started, especially in terms of that horrible cotton like feel that thrush gives you.

Day 11: Nothing has changed since yesterday.

I still notice areas of yeast on my tongue.

Day 12:Same as day 11

Day 13: Not better or worse for the past several days.

Day 14:Unfortunately I am not noticing any further improvement in my condition.

I am thinking that this may be effective for some other issues but not really for thrush.

I seem to be in a holding pattern where my symptoms are not getting worse, but they are not really getting any better either.

Day 15:I forgot to take the probiotic today, but things seem the same as it has been for about the past week.

Day 16:Still no change

Day 17:Still no change either way.

It seemed to get better up to a point and then stop – but it hasn’t gotten worse.

This product may be better used for maintenance rather than cure.

Overall:Since I don’t really have digestive issues I don’t know how effective it actually is for that, but I think for my purposes it seems like it could only do so much. I did notice some improvement overall, but not a complete eradication of the yeast.

Synbiotic 365 FAQ’s

7. Is it safe to take?

Synbiotic 365 is safe to use
Image: unitednaturals.com

This supplement is safe to take, as it contains mostly vitamins and “good” gut bacteria.

We’ll discuss this more in the “Side Effects” section, but generally speaking, users of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics do not experience any unwanted effects.

8. Where can I buy it?

As far as I know, you can only purchase the supplement from the official United Naturals website.

You can buy Synbiotic 365 from United Naturals website
Image: https://www.unitednaturals.com/

This isn’t really cause for concern, as many companies like the control of only selling their products through their own website.

9. How much is it?

Synbiotic 365 costs $45 per box.And I believe each box comes with 30 capsules.

And the more boxes you buy, the more you save.

Synbiotic 365 price
Image: unitednaturals.com

As far as probiotics go, this price is pretty standard.

10. Is there a guarantee?

Yes, the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on the gut health supplement.

Synbiotic 365 comes with a 30-day guarantee
Image: unitednaturals.com

11. What are Prebiotics side effects?

Generally speaking, you shouldn’t notice side effects from taking this type of supplement.

However, one study claims that some prebiotics side effects include bloating and gaseousness, and abdominal pain and diarrhea with larger doses. Source

12. Do probiotics make you poop?

Synbiotic 365 is a probiotic that might help you poop and alleviate constipation
Image: thehealthsite.com

Yes, probiotics make you poop.

Well, they help your good gut bacteria to survive and thrive, which helps to regulate bowel movements.

If you’re looking for the best probiotic for constipation, I can’t say for sure this is the one, but you might give it a try.

13. Does this probiotic help with yeast infections?

Probiotics may help with yeast infections, but the jury is still out

While some women claim that probiotics help with yeast infections, the jury is still out whether or not probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics help to alleviate the symptoms of this type of infection.

Synbiotic 365 probably does not help yeast infections.

14. Recommendations

My personal opinion on Synbiotic 365 has shifted a bit. At first, I was a little concerned about Kathleen’s lack of results.

However, I think that her overall experiment was just way too short to draw any real conclusions.

I plan on testing it out personally soon, and will report my full results here once testing is complete.

In the meantime, if you would like to try out Synbiotic 365 yourself, pick up a a few bottles on their official site here: www.UnitedNaturals.com

I’d also suggest readingthis review on Probiotics Pills Sold in Stores (GNC, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and more)

It details some of the more effective probiotics and synbiotics you can find in stores, should you not feel comfortable about buying online for one reason or another.

Why There Is No Such Thing As A ‘Permanent Enlargement Pill’

I’ve been running SupplementCritique.com for about 7 years now, and I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve been posed the following question:

What male enhancement pill will give me permanent results?

I get it in the comments section of my site.

permanent enlargement comment 1

permanent comment 2

I get emails about it…

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/permanent

I’ve even had a few guys call me (when I had my phone number posted on the site), asking about it.

It’s gotten to the point where I actually have a pre-crafted response to the subject that I use for these comments and emails.

pre crafted penis enlargement question email

That’s how often I’m asked this question!

Why Do I Get This Question So Often?

For starters, there is an ENORMOUS amount of misinformation being spread on the internet regarding this topic.

Google certainly hasn’t been doing a good job of “weeding out” the culprits, either.

For example, just run a google search for the term ‘permanent penis enlargement‘.

permanent penis enlargement google search

The first 2 results (Mayo Clinic and WebMD) are legit.

They tell it EXACTLY like it is, i.e. permanent enlargement pills simply do NOT exist.

Here’s Mayo Clinics’ take on it:

mayo clinic penis enlargement

And here’s WebMDs’ take on it:

webmd penis enlargement pills

But the next search result is what really caught my eye.

They start off talking about a legit method of gaining size (penile extenders), but then things start to go off the rails.

For example, check out this part about penis enlargement pills.

penis enlargement misinformation

And this part:

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/enlargement

The whole site is completely RIFE with false information about the various pills that will supposedly enlargement your penis.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Further down the google results, we have this site:

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/more

Just like with the other site, they start off talking about how extenders are perfect for permanent enlargement.

This is true, and I’ve actually personally used a wide variety of extenders that WILL do this.

However, just like with the other site, the lies start popping up left and right.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/no side

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/false

What happens when we try a different google search result, like “permanent enlargement pills“?

If you scroll down a bit to the 4th and 6th listing (just under the video carousel), you have these 2 sites:

google search result for penis enlargement pills

Let’s try the first one.

First off, the website that I clicked on completely redirected to a totally different site.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/clicked

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/took me

When I tried to click the back button to return to the google search, it wouldn’t let me.

It just kept redirecting to all these different offers on how to make money from home.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/same

And then I “won” some free survey.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/09/g search is

How about that other search result I was talking about…

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp

Let’s try clicking on that one and see what happens.

The exact, same, thing.

Thanks Google!!

Pills Claiming To Be Permanent

Then you have ALL of these products making the claim that by taking their pills, it will result in permanent enlargement.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the simple truth is this.

There is NO permanent enlargement pill on the market.

How do I know this?

Because I’ve tested practically ALL of them, and not ONE has ever given me permanent results.

For example, I once came across an ad that looked like this on a porn site.

xanogen ad

It talked up a big game about how, by taking 2 pills called Xanogen and HGH Factor, you’ll grow 3 inches in 3 weeks!

HGH Factor Xanogen Blog 2

Well, I tested it out, and sure as shit, NOTHING HAPPENED!

Click Here to read my full review of that one.

Another product that promised permanent enlargement is NeoSize XL.

They pull all sorts of marketing stunts, including flat out stating that THEIR product is the “safest option for penis enlargement”.

And you can increase penis length by 3 inches and girth by 1 inch.

That’s right, NeoSize XL.

It’s literally a NEVER-Ending stream of pills that claim these, including:

If you’re ever unsure about whether a product works or not, just click here to contact me.

I can usually tell you in about 5 minutes whether or not the pill can REALLY do what it claims.

Why Isn’t There A ‘Permanent Enlargement Pill’?

The simple truth is, the penis is CANNOT grow permanently from taking a pill.

First let’s explain what happens during an erection.

Step 1: It all starts in your head, literally.

You get erect from seeing a hot girl walking down the street, smell a perfume that reminds you of a previous girlfriend, or heard the sound of a blowjob happening across your dorm room.

Step 2: When one of these senses (or a combination of them) is triggered, it signals a chemical reaction that messages the veins in your penis to full up with blood.

Step 3: As the blood is rushing to your penis, the arteries relax to allow for the blood to flow in. Once blood is in the penis, it’s essentially “trapped” within the corpora cavernosa.

Your penis expands and holds the erection (but of course not for everyone).

At a maximum erection, you’re basically at your maximum size.

So How Come I Can’t Make That Bigger?

According to Dr. Thomas J.

Walsh, who was interviewed by the magazine Mens Health, it comes down to one issue and one issue only: stubborn erectile tissue.

Remember that during an erection, the two cylinders that full with blood are called the Corpora Cavernosa. (Source)

corpora cavernosa
The Corpora Cavernosa is where the blood flows during an erection

According to Dr. Walsh, “these fibrous cylinders are fixed to the pelvic bone, and by virtue of being fixed to the pelvic bone, they are not easily manipulated”.

corpus cavernosa fixed to pelvic bone

He goes on to add,“they are fixed in place, and for most men, the length of the penis that they achieve through puberty becomes their maximum length.”

The only thing pills do is help with blood flow, which in theory will help allow you to have the biggest erection possible.

However, that erection is short-lived. It’s not “permanent”.

So What CAN Give Me Permanent Results?

When it comes to permanent enlargement, you actually DO have some options.

Just not with pills…

I’ve personally used these 3 options below, and can tell you from personal experience that they really do work!

Option #1 – Penile Pumps

Despite some sites claiming that penis pumps don’t work, I can tell you from personal experience that they actually DO.

My personal favorite is a pump called the Bathmate.

bathmate hydromax pump

I was introduced to the Bathmate about 5 years ago, and it’s been on of the most effective penis enlargement methods I’ve tested to date.

In a nutshell, what the Bathmate Hydromax does is create an erection using suction.

As you draw blood into the corpus cavernosa, the penis becomes erect.

So what’s the difference between this and pills?

Unlike with pills, the longer you use the Bathmate, the bigger your blood vessels in the corpus cavernosa become.

bathmate blood flow

In short:

Pills: WILL fill the penile with more blood, but will NOT increase the size of the erectile tissue.

Bathmate: WILL fill the penis with more blood, AND increase the size of the corpus cavernosa.

This will result in larger erections over time, giving you both bigger girth AND length.

It’s actually one of the reasons why I recommend combining the Bathmate with a pill like Vigrx Plus.

male enhancement products for size
Bathmate and Vigrx Plus

Because of this increase in erectile tissue size, taking the Vigrx Plus pills will ensure that you have the biggest erection possible.

The great thing about the Bathmate is, unlike extenders like the Phallosan Forte, you only need to use it for 10 – 20 min. a day, max.

It’s comfortable, can be easily used in the shower or bathtub, and can give you GREAT results, especially in the girth department.

Option #2 – Penile Extenders

The other option is via the use of a penile extender, sometimes called a “traction device”.

My personal favorite is an extender called the Phallosan Forte.

Phallosan forte review

The Phallosan Forte is a medically certified penis extension device that is endorsed by Penis enlargement surgeons around the world as an alternative to enlargement surgery.

The Phallosan Forte uses the theory of traction to gradually pull on the corporosa cavernosa.

This pulling gradually creates microscopic, non-painful, tears which divide and replicate, cause the penis to slowly gain an increase in size over time.

how penis enlargement works

Users of the Phallosan Forte can attest to these results, and so can I!

If you take a look at my Phallosan Forte review, you will learn about my specific results from using it, and 3 reasons why I think it’s the best.

I’ve used ALOT of extenders over the years, and one thing is for certain…

If the device is not comfortable, you will simply NOT want to wear it, period!

The Phallosan Forte is the most comfortable, well-built, and effective extender I’ve used to date. So comfortable, in fact, that after a few days you start to forget you’re even wearing the thing.

Option #3 – Penile Enlargement Exercises

The 3rd, and cheapest, option would be through the use of penile enlargement exercises.

This literally involves using your hands to do basically the same things that the Bathmate and Phallosan Forte do.

I won’t get into the details here, but you can sign up for my free “Enlargement Exercises” ebook below.

It outlines everything you need to know about these exercises, including how they work, how to do them, and what the result will be.

I also include plenty of video demonstrations on how to perform the exercises, as well as some other free bonuses.

Recommendation

Don’t believe the hype, guys.

There is NO such thing as a permanent enlargement pill.

If there was, I would have tested it by now and would be preaching it to the masses.

I routinely test out new supplements all the time, and if I EVER come across something that REALLY does work the way they say it will, you’ll definitely hearing about it from me!

In the meantime, save your hard-earned cash for something more useful.

Tenga Flip Zero Review

I recently stumbled across the most peculiar sex toy for men. Seriously, its space-age design is akin to what you’d find in Elon Musk’s portfolio of inventions.

You gotta see this thing.

It’s called the Tenga Flip Zero, and it’s a male masturbator.

Yup, if you haven’t heard, women have vibrators and dudes have “masturbators.” (Oh, the company we keep.)

Anyhow, Tenga brings the real deal with this one… and it seems to be light-years ahead of its competition in both form and function.

The Tenga Flip Zero seems like it's light years ahead of the competition
Image: redbubble.com

At least, that was my first impression of the device.

But does it really work like everyone says it does? And if so, is it worth the money?

Or… are there more pleasure-inducing devices in which to invest your sex-toy-fund?

I’m gonna answer all of your burning questions about the Tenga Flip Zero in this here review.

So strap in fellas!

1. How I learned about Tenga Flip Zero

I may or may not have been perusing an adult film site when I came across an advertisement for the product.

In either case, the adcaught my attention right away.

Ad for Tenga Flip Zero male sex toy masturbator

To be honest, I was so intrigued that I HAD to click through.

I mean, it says “electronic vibration,” but it looks nothing like a vibrator.

And the marketing copy reads “Ready to Rumble,” which is definitely for dudes.

So my curiosity got the best of me.

The advertisement took me to Tenga’s official website.

And there they hit me again with another ad for the product… along with a bunch of other sex products for both men and women.

Tenga Flip Zero sex toy website
Image: usstore.tenga-global.com

I’m typically very skeptical of ads.

I mean, I’ve tried TONS of sexual enhancers.

From pumps and pills, to toys and creams.

So typically it’s hard to shock me or impress me enough to hold my attention.

But with that said, I had never before seen a Tenga Flip Zero…

2. What is it?

Well, there’s a couple different options.

The standard Tenga Flip Zero, which comes in both black and white color schemes, is a no-frills portable masturbator with a silicon interior.

Photo of the standard Tenga Flip Zero male masturbator
Image: usstore.tenga-global.com

And then you’ve got the Tenga Flip Zero EV (Electronic Vibration), which is double the price of the standard device… but offers so much more.

Image of the Tenga Flip Zero EV male sex toy
Image: usstore.tenga-global.com

We’ll get into the specifics of the Flip Zero’s in just a bit.

But for now, let’s just cover the basics.

And if you’ve never heard of these products, you’re not alone.

You essentially lube up the inside of the device, insert your schlong, and go to town. Weird, I know.

But to each their own.

3. Who makes the Flip Zero?

The company behind the Flip Zero is… you guessed it… Tenga.

(Now, you can skim this section if you wish, but if you keep reading I promise you’re in for a treat.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill sex toy company.)

Tenga New Adult Concepts is all about “Revolutionizing sexual pleasure,” and “bringing sexuality to the forefront, for all to enjoy.”

Tenga New Adult Concepts is the maker of Tenga Flip Zero EV and this is their mission
Image: tenga-global.com

They’re the ones who invented and popularized “the egg,” a female vibrator that just so happens to be celebrating its 10th birthday…

Tenga invented and popularized the egg female vibrator
Image: tenga-global.com

In the research I’ve done of this company, they seem super legit.

Tenga puts a lot of focus on research and development, always pushing the boundaries with new technology to create new products and improve upon existing products.

Check it out… on their website’s ‘About’ page, they have an in-depth interview of the company’s President and chief inventorKoichi Matsumoto.

This guy…

Tenga inventor and President is Matsumoto is the brainchild behind the Flip Zero EV
Image: tenga-global.com

He’s like the Thomas Edison of personal pleasure items.

Matsumoto got his start years ago, tuning up Ferrari’s and Lambo’s. (Yup, from supercars to sex toys.) He moved onward and upward from there, always sharpening his engineering chops.

The inventor says, “I never lost the taste of creating.

As I said before no two cars were alike when I was assembling and tuning them.

My heart told me that I wanted to create new things, things that don’t exist, things that people need.

I didn’t have a particular idea in mind, I just wanted to create.”

Koichi Matsumoto talks about the start of Tenga sex toy company
Image: tenga-global.com

And so he kept on creating.

Then one day, he found himself in an adult toy store.

Admittedly, he felt a certain discomfort as he browsed the products.

They all lacked something…

But what?

At first he couldn’t put his finger on it, then he realized it was an intangible virtue… a little something he calls “security.”

That is, he didn’t have any confidence or assurance in the products on the shelves.

And seriously… who could blame him?

Most sex toys are scary, unlike Tenga Flip Zero
According to Tenga’s President Matsumoto, most adult sex toys don’t inspire confidence or assurance.

In the interview, Matsumoto goes on to say:

“In our daily lives we text on Apple smartphones, watch Sony TVs, run in a pair of NIKE shoes, and go out with LOUIS VUITTON bags.

All these products are very high in quality but more importantly they all have a sense of security that comes with the brand’s label: the company’s belief in their product integrity and their liability.”

Tenga Flip Zero is backed by a company with a big vision
Image: gfycat.com

And that, my friends, is why this isn’t just another sex toy company.

There’s a good amount of substance in how they operate.

And their vision for the future of personal pleasure is, dare I say, admirable.

4. Flip Zero vs. Flip Zero EV

So what’s the difference between the Flip Zero vs. the Flip Zero EV?

According to the makers of the product, the Flip Zero is “a step-up in stimulation, bursting with even stronger sensations.”

The internal structure of the device is quite complex, and includes:

  • A strong material blend “which provides maximum squeeze and suction.”
  • An insertion point which creates better suction and helps to reduce lubrication leaks.
  • TENGA’s FLIP-style design allows for easy washing and drying clean up.

Here’s what the Tenga Flip Zero (Black) looks like inside…

Tenga Flip Zero has a complicated inside of silicone for better feeling
Image: tenga-global.com

And it also features a unique suction mechanism.

This allows for a tighter feel, and the pressure pad allows you to regulate the intensity of the ‘vacuum’.

I know, I know, it might sound a little sketchy… but we both know this isn’t the first time you got your trouser snake stuck in a vacuum.

The Tenga Flip Zero features a unique suction mechanism
Image: tenga-global.com

Afraid you won’t fit? Fear not!

The thing is 180 mm deep… which is just a hair over 7 inches.

That’s plenty of room for ‘Uncle Reamus.’

Here’s the specifications of the Tenga Flip Zero Black:

Tenga Flip Zero Black male masturbator specifications
Image: tenga-global.com

5. Alright, this brings us to the Flip Zero EV (Electronic Vibration)

So what makes this model TWICE the price of the regular Flip Zero?

Well, it’s made of the same material blend on the inside, and it features the same suction mechanism as its predecessor.

But it brings a little rumble in the jungle with not one, but TWO “Vibrating Cores” that are housed inside the sex device.

According to the makers of the product, “Rumbling vibrations from within the elastomer sleeve bring a sensation from another world to your hands.”

Tenga Flip Zero EV male masturbator features two vibrating cores for increased pleasure
Image: tenga-global.com

The vibrating motors are powered by something called a “Deep Impact Engine.” Seems legit, and just what you’d expect from the former supercar mechanic Matsumoto.

The Deep Impact Engine moves the “Disk Gate,” which is the gauntlet of “thick elastic discs that rumble across your shaft upon insertion.”

You can think of the Disk Gate as a very soft and gentle meat-grinder.

On second thought, maybe don’t think of it like that. :-/

The Tenga Flip Zero EV interior vibrating mechanisms
Image: tenga-global.com

The flip-open design allows for easy cleaning, just like the other Flip Zero.

And you’ll be happy to know that it comes with a charging-station base, so it’ll dry and charge at the same time.

Your disco stick will thank you for the efficiency.

The Tenga Flip Zero EV has a flip-open design which allows for easy cleaning and it comes with a charging base
Image: tenga-global.com

The Flip Zero EV measures the same size as its counterpart, just over 7 inches deep. It’s a tad heavier, at 530 grams.

But at this point, your forearm is more than up to the task.

Like grandpa’s old massage chair, the Flip Zero EV has 5 modes of vibration: Low, High, Pulse, Alternating, and Random.

The Tenga Flip Zero has several modes of vibration
Image: giphy.com

The device takes approximately 90 minutes to fully charge, and you’ll get a solid 40 minutes of rumbling from there.

Included in the box, you’ll get:

  • Product Body
  • Slide Arms
  • Clear Case
  • Charging Base
  • USB Cable
  • Two pouches of HOLE LOTION Real (2x10ml)
  • User Manual

6. How do I use it?

How to use the Tenga Flip Zero sex toy
Image: leearnoldsystem.com

I’m including this section for one reason only: when I first saw the device and began reading about it, it took me a good 30 minutes before I realized it was a masturbator and not some newfangled cigar holder or portable speaker.

So I’m here to ease you over the learning curve.

Here’s how to use the Tenga Flip Zero… in a nutshell.

Step 1: Fully lubricate the inside with a water-based lubricant.

Step 2: Close the device so that both locks click shut.

Step 3: Slide on the side arms

Step 4: Lubricate the insertion point.

Step 5: Send in your cave hunter and enjoy.

7. User reviews of Tenga Flip Zero

This is where the rubber hits the… yeeeah.

So far we’ve learned about the background of the company, and the ridiculously high standards of Tenga’s President/Inventor.

But what are people saying about the Tenga Flip Zero?

I searched the interwebs high and low, and I found a TON of user reviews for this male masturbator.

And for the most part, they’re overwhelmingly positive.

Let’s begin with Amazon.

The Flip Zero Black gets a modest 3.4 stars out of 5 on Amazon.

Tenga Flip Zero Black reviews on Amazon.com

The 5-star reviews really emphasize the pleasure and versatility of the device.

It seems like a lot of the reviewers have also tried several other similar products, and most prefer the Flip Zero over the competition.

One guy says that the usability of the product is incredible.

And he was really happy with the easy cleanup and super-discreet design.

tenga flip zero review on amazon

Another reviewer goes into graphic detail of exactly what to expect from the Tenga Flip Zero.

But first he breaks down why this product is superior to other masturbators on the market.

tenga flip zero positive review

This fellow has used the Tenga Flip Zero 60+ times now, and he says it’s still going strong.He warns though, that one should be careful with frequency of use.

He says, “This toy an actually make you crave its use over and over again.

It will control your life for the first two weeks so be careful if your work requires 100% of your brain to complete your tasks.”

Which is a little bit weird.

I mean, dude, are you taking this thing to work with you?

As for the negative user reviews, they can be summed up with this: beautiful but broken. That is, many experience malfunction of the product.

In fact, for some it’s broken on the third go-around…

negative review of tenga flip zero

Overall, the men seem to like how it feels, but some aren’t so happy about the construction.

One guy takes a jab at the product’s name in his review…

Not everyone is pleased with the functionality of the Tenga Flip Zero male masturbator

The official Tenga website has loads of positive reviews, as you’d expect.

I won’t share those here, but feel free to browse those at your leisure.

I also found a couple of videos online. Here is the product video made by the company.

It’s actually pretty well-produced.

Also, notice how they position the product with the narration.

They’re definitely going for a rocket science vibe.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_dSjPsLa5Q?rel=0]

As far as video reviews go, there’s only one legitimate vid review out there.

It’s made by a strapping young fella.

He says this masturbator is a “very, very, very good one.” Here, have a look….

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0l-Ome_wFY?rel=0]

He says it’s definitely an improvement on the original Tenga, showing how the insert hole is fully seamless on this one, which doesn’t allow for any leakage of lubricant.

Then he shows how to use the product, without actually showing how to use it.

That’d just be gross.

“You just put your penis inside, and I promise you it’s a really, really nice feeling.”

Tenga Flip Zero review
Image: me.me

The Tenga Flip Zero has many uses.

For instance, this reviewer in the video uses it alone for solo-play, and he uses it with his partner as well. Overall, he gives it 10 out of 10 stars.

Not too shabby.

Tenga Flip Zero FAQ’s

8. How much is it?

The Tenga Flip Zero Black costs about $100. Remember, that’s the one without the twin-turbo, fuel-injected engine. 😉 It’s the standard, non-vibrating Flip Zero.

The Tenga Flip Zero Black costs $100
Image: usstore.tenga-global.com

If you want to the rumble in the jungle version, the Flip Zero EV (Electronic Vibration) will put you back $200. Twice the price, but supposedly, twice as nice.

The Tenga Flip Zero EV costs $200
Image: usstore.tenga-global.com

9. Where can I buy it?

You can buy the original product on Amazon.com, but Amazon doesn’t carry the EV version.

You can buy Tenga Flip Zero on Amazon.com
Image: phx.corporate-ir.net

And of course, you can purchase both products on the company’s website.They sell them for the same price as Amazon, which is impressive.

And right now they’re offering free shipping for all orders of $50 and up.

Tenga Logo
Image: usstore.tenga-global.com

Finally, you can buy this masturbator at various online retailers, everywhere from Ebay to The Fetish Academy… and even Dil Seriously, that’s a thing.

You might even find the Flex Zero at a physical location near you.

10. Is there a guarantee?

As far as I know, the Flip Zero Black does not come with a guarantee.

However, the Flip Zero EV comes with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.

Not bad.

Image: bioinformant.com

But keep in mind, some men have complained that the device just doesn’t last after lots of use.

So plan on replacing it after a while.

11. Pros and Cons

Pros of the Tenga Flip Zero

  • It’s easy to clean
  • Good suction
  • It has a discreet design
  • Good sensations
  • Elegant look
  • Cool President/Inventor

Cons of the Tenga Flip Zero

  • Takes long to dry
  • The outer-case can get sticky after use
  • It does not come with a mount
  • Can break more easily than other products
  • Needs to be replaced after excessive use
  • It’s a bit pricey

12. Recommendation

I guess if I were to recommend a sex toy, this would be the one.

There’s literally TONS of sex products on the market, and they all promise the world.

Most of them don’t do very much to function differently or even look unique when compared to their competitors from what I have seen.

But Tenga seems like a breath of fresh air in a crowded space.

The President/Inventor of the product seems to really care about quality and design — which is unique to the adult industry, and long overdue.

Tenga Flip Zero might be considered a breath of fresh air
Image: whsadvocateonline.com

The Tenga Flip Zero has a certain technological appeal to it.

So if you have a discerning eye for design, and you like interesting contraptions, this might be a good bet.

The price is a little steep, but maybe the old adage applies here: you get what you pay for.

As far as I can tell, most men who use the product are happy with the experience.

So maybe it’s worth a shot… if you know what I mean.

It is pretty cool that male masturbatory devices have caught up with and even quite possibly surpassed female vibrators as far as design and technology goes and as far as such products go, it seems like Tenga Flip Zero is almost like the Cadillac or Rolls Royce of its kind, and that is even reflected in its high price tag.

Alpha Lean 7 Review

Alpha Lean 7 Review

All weight loss and fat burner manufacturers will claim that their product is capable of delivering the best results.

Of course, Alpha Lean 7 is no exception to this rule.

The manufacturers claim that this product is capable of annihilating your body fat for good.

To top it off, they even go as far as to say it should be used by experienced exercisers only.

Obviously, none of these claims are unusual when it comes to the supplement world.

I do not recommend Somaderm HGH
Image: imgflip.com

But we still wanted to know how effective Alpha Lean 7 really is when it comes to showing results.

So we threw ourselves into the deep end to find out all we could about this product, its ingredients, the company behind it, and whether or not it’s right for you.

In this review, we examine whether Alpha Lean 7 is truly able to achieve for you what it claims, or if it’s just another scam product trying to take your money.

RELATED:Try our Calorie Calculator

1. What is Alpha Lean 7?

alpha lean 7 reviewAlpha Lean 7 is a supplement used for burning fat.

Its manufacturer, Hard Rock Supplements, claims that it helps in boosting thermogenic activities.

Hence promoting weight loss.

The company also says this “blowtorch” for fat reduces food cravings and thus limits daily calorie intake.

Cited benefits include:

  • Enhances the metabolism, hence promoting faster calorie burn.
  • Aids in reducing water retention.
  • Boosts mental focus and concentration to help you work out efficiently.
  • Helps elevate the mood.

2. How Does Alpha Lean 7 work?

How to use the Tenga Flip Zero sex toy
Image: leearnoldsystem.com

We are told Alpha Lean 7 is able to provide these benefits due to the ‘coordinated effects of its primary ingredients’.

That might sound pretty fancy to the average customer.

We’ve heard it all before however.

So in this section, we take a close look at each component of the formula and whether or not there is any basis to what the manufacturers are saying.

Caffeine Anhydrous

Caffeine Anhydrous powder is found in Alpha Lean 7 fat burner
Image: businessinsider.com

This powder is commonly found in almost all fat burners, due to its stimulant properties.

It increases the production of lipolysis, which leads to the burning of fat as fuel.

Caffeine also suppresses the appetite, thus limiting the hunger cravings.

Besides this, caffeine is known to increase mental focus as it directly affects the central nervous network, brain, muscles, and heart.

brain power

Dandelion Powder

This powder works as a diuretic to prevent redundant storage of water in the body.

While this may reduce the number on your bathroom scale temporarily, it is not a healthy—or effective—way to lose weight.

Dimethylethanolamine (DMAE)

This ingredient, also called DMAE, supposedly helps generate acetylcholine in the body, which is a neurotransmitter that improves concentration and focus.

Alpha Lean 7 contains DMAE
Image: empowersperformance.com

According to WebMD, “it is also used for improving memory and mood; boosting thinking skills and intelligence; and increasing physical energy, oxygen efficiency, athletic performance, and muscle reflexes… and even extending life span.” (Source)

Betaine Anhydrous

Betaine anhydrous helps improve your liver function.

Research has also indicated that it can help reduce appetite, cut body fat, promote lean muscle growth, and maintain healthy body composition.

Alpha Lean 7 Review
Image: t-nation.com

In fact, one study highlighted the benefits of this ingredient and found that six weeks of supplementation with Betaine anhydrous“improved body composition, arm size, bench press work capacity… and tended to improve power but not strength.” (Source)

Green Tea Extract

Here is another popular ingredient that has been used for improving health and encouraging weight loss.

green tea extract
Green Tea Extract – Source: Livin3.com

Green tea extract’s primary compound, Epigallocatechin or EGCG helps elevate oxidation of fat present in the body.

On top of this, green tea is useful for enhancing metabolism and preventing the further development of fatty cells.

L-Carnitine

L-carnitine is an important compound that moves body fat to the cells so that it can be utilized as fuel. It can also promote mental focus.

This Alpha Lean 7 bodybuilding ingredient is popular with weight lifters.

L-Carnitine is found in Alpha Lean 7 fat burner
Image: mensxp.com

A study in the US National Library of Medicine claims that “During the past 30 years, dietary supplementation with carnitine has been widely used in order to enhance lipid oxidation and increase exercise performance.” (Source)

Alpha Yohimbine

Alpha yohimbine comes from an evergreen tree in western Africa and is believed to reduce the storage of body fat by improving the mobilization of fatty acids.

And according to WebMD, people also take it to help with “athletic performance… exhaustion, chest pain, high blood pressure, low blood pressure that occurs when standing up, diabetic nerve pain, and for depression along with certain other medications.” (Source)

Yohimbe is a strong stimulant ingredient and is found in Alpha Lean 7 for weight loss
Image: zamboanga.com

However, Yohimbe also has its dark side, as we’ll discuss in the Side Effects section below.

3. Aside from Those Ingredients, What Else Is in Alpha Lean 7?

Apart from the above key ingredients, we also found the following included in the Alpha Lean 7 formula:

N-phenyl-Dimethylamine

This alkaloid compound was traditionally used as a flavoring agent, but is now known for its stimulating properties.

It comes as an extract from the orchid species Eria jarensis, and is a common ingredient used in pre-workout and fitness supplements. (Source)

Cissus Quadrangularis

This plant extract is popular for its medicinal properties that promote bone and joint health. In fact, it’s the most widely used medicinal plant in all of Thailand.

It also has anti-inflammatory benefits and antioxidants, which can reduce pain after workouts.

According to WebMD, this ingredient “is also used in bodybuilding supplements as an alternative to anabolic steroids.” (Source)

Rauwolfia Vomitoria Extract

This root extract is popularly known as the African snakeroot.

It tends to help the user treat fever, diabetes, sleeplessness, arthritis, skin infections, and a rise in blood pressure.

While this ingredient “is used in some workout supplements… countries including Canada and others have banned supplements containing Rauvolfia vomitoria extract from the market… because some extracts contain high levels of chemicals that are prescription drugs.” (Source)

Theophylline Anhydrous

One ingredient in Alpha Lean 7 supposedly helps with breathing
Image: menshealth.com

This ingredient is classified as a xanthine drug, which is known to control the breathing passages in the body for treatment of bronchitis, asthma, and COPD.

Since it’s meant to open up the airway for better breathing, we can only assume it is included in the formula to improve stamina. (Source)

Synephrine HCl

Alpha Lean 7 fat burner contains Synephrine

We could not find this ingredient printed on the label of the container, but the official website mentions its presence in Alpha Lean 7, so we decided to include it.

Synephrine HCl works as a stimulant to increase metabolism and excellerate fat burning.

It is a powerful stimulant which mimics the effects of the banned substance ephedrine.

In fact, Examine.com says of this ingredient: “It appears to be a less potent fat burner relative to ephedrine.” (Source)

Alpha lean 7 review
Image: en.wikipedia.org

Anyone who is sensitive to stimulants should be careful with this ingredient.

All these ingredients are included as part of a proprietary blend.

Proprietary blends usually limit the strength of a supplement.

They also beg the question as to why the individual ingredient doses are hidden.

In our opinion, there are some effective ingredients—but also some perplexing ingredients—included in Alpha Lean 7.

One of the best ways to know if it really works is to find out what real customers are saying.

4. What Do the Reviews Say?

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/06/service user reviews
Image cred: umcpt.co.uk

The official reviews do not talk much about the adverse effects of the product.

Customers who have claimed to use it, mostly said they felt powerful effects.

Here are some snapshots from the reviews on the official Alpha Lean 7 website.

alpha lean 7 testimonials

Some customers do mention that Alpha Lean 7 did cause them to sweat a lot.

Even the company claims this side effect to be normal while taking it.

This sounds a little concerning to us.

alpha lean 7 reviews

Overall, all the reviews here were positive, which is hardly a surprise!

capsiplex pros and cons

Unfortunately we struggled to find any Alpha Lean 7 before and after reviews which seemed genuine.

We also couldn’t find Alpha Lean 7 listed for sale on any other renowned e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon.

But there are a few user reviews on YouTube.

While I can’t trust them as totally unbiased (most are just affiliates trying to sell the product), I do like to pop in the comments section to see what people are saying.

Usually the YouTube comment section is a dumpster fire, but in this case it’s helpful.

The first guy is pumped about the increased energy without the jitters.

Nevermind the mild sweating, so far he likes it and plans on continuing use.

While the second guy says this fat burner is “stronger than any other.” He says it feels like it has ephedrine in it… and if you recall the ingredient I discussed earlier (Synephrine HCl), you’ll know exactly where he’s coming from.

This is due to the possibility of side effects for those who are new to the world of fat burning supplements.

The combination of synephrine HCl and caffeine is noted to be potentially dangerous.

Synephrine alone is capable of increasing blood pressure and heart rate, even in people who do not smoke.

Taking Performix SST at night is like chugging 2 cups of coffee before bed.

Theophylline can also cause side effects like:

  • Increased urination
  • Restlessness
  • jitters
  • stomach pain
  • nervousness

As mentioned previously, quite a few customer reviews mentioned extreme sweating when taking Alpha Lean 7.

Also, the product contains Yohimbe, which according to WebMD can increase blood pressure even when taken in small amounts.

In larger amounts it can cause dangerously low blood pressure. (Source)

I never died from taking yohimbe, so I got that going for me which is nice

It would be wise to make sure you are staying hydrated if you take this product, especially as it uses diuretic ingredients.

If you are asking yourself the question “is Alpha Lean 7 safe?”, it may be better to get the opinion of your health practitioner before you take it.

Is it a good fat burner for bodybuilders?

Well, from the looks of how the company markets the product, it’s absolutely geared toward bodybuilders and others who are already in extremely good shape.

And remember, according to the makers of the product, this “Fat Incinerator” is for “Experienced Users Only.”

But… aren’t these just words and marketing hype?

A fat burner is a fat burner is a fat burner.

In other words, sometimes they include few stimulants, and sometimes they come packed with stimulants… but they ALL work pretty much the same way.

So when Hard Rock Supplements say Alpha Lean 7 is for experienced users only, what they mean is you better have the correct physiology and body chemistry to stomach the stimulants.

Enough said.

How Do I Take It?

Take one capsule in the morning before breakfast.

After that, you may take another pill six to eight hours later.

Hard Rock Supplements recommends that you start the dosage with just one capsule daily, so that you can evaluate your tolerance to its side effects.

Can Women Use It?

Yes, women can also take this supplement.

But you might be better off looking into Fitmiss Tone or better yet Hourglass Fit, both are decent fat burner / weight loss solutions for women.

Where Can I Buy It?

You can purchase Alpha Lean 7 from the official website (which might be difficult to find) and other various online sports stores.

Alpha Lean 7 Amazon listings do not seem to exist.

The supplement is priced at $34.95 for 90 capsules.If you reside in Canada or the USA then fast shipping is available for an extra cost.

Is there a guarantee?

Alpha Lean 7 vs Hydroxyelite?

Alpha Lean 7 vs. Hydroxyelite

Hydroxyelite is another ‘Extreme Diet Aid’ packed with intense stimulants.

According to the makers of the product, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Hydroxyeliteis great for:

  • High Intensity Training
  • Improving Your Weight Loss
  • Clean Usable Energy
  • Increased Energy – Strong, But Not Too Long
  • Improving Mental Acuity

However, unlike Alpha Lean 7, Hydroxyelite fat burner doesn’t contain either Yohimbe orSynephrine HCl — two stimulants that can potentially do a lot of damage.

But it contains a different stimulant called Garcinia Cambogia.

Garcinia Cambogia is found in Leanbean and should not be taken by pregnant women

This is a mainstay in many fat burner supplements, and is somewhat effective.

Unfortunately, it’s not much safer than Yohimbe or the stimulants found in Alpha Lean 7. In fact, WebMD shares that the FDA warned against using supplements with Garcinia as it may cause liver problems.

The research is still out on this. (Source)

A 90-capsule bottle of Hydroxyelite will cost you double the price as Alpha Lean 7 at about $70 a pop.

If you are torn between these two, we’d have to recommend avoiding both of them.We don’t feel either offer value for money.Hourglass Fit is our preferred weight loss aid for women and Instant Knockout is in our opinion the best fat burner for men.

6. Recommendation

Alpha Lean 7 claims to incinerate and blowtorch away your excessive body fat.

But, does it genuinely stay faithful to this claim?

At a price of $34.95, we find this hard to believe.The price tag is simply TOO CHEAP for a high quality fat burner.

Alpha Lean 7 is cheap and you get what you pay for
Image: youtube.com

The company claims it is designed for advanced users, but we do not buy this argument.

Weight loss is the same for everyone regardless of how skilled you are in the gym, this makes us question the integrity of some of Hard Rock Supplements’ claims.

Moreover, the addition of proprietary blends and stimulating ingredients, such as synephrine HCl, is not recommended.

Excessive stimulant consumption can only lead to adverse effects for users, whether they lose weight or not.

This made us question whether Alpha Lean 7 is safe.

Alpha Lean 7 might not be safe as a fat burner
Image: 123rf.com

Alpha Lean 7 may have used these stimulants in their formula to promote clarity, mental focus or boost energy; but these ingredients may induce side effects and are not proven to aid fat burning.

The negative side effects that come from too many stimulant heavy ingredients can affect all aspects of your day and are really not worth all of the trouble.

Overall, we would recommend choosing a fat burner that is more TRANSPARENT about the doses of ingredients it contains.

Arthrozene Video Review

Thinking about trying Arthrozene? I’ve personally tested it. Watch my video and learn more about the ingredients, side effects, where to buy, my results, and more.

I go over what it is made of, how it works and why and whether or not it is really worth testing out for yourself.

If you would like to read my written Arthrozene review,click here.

Studies mentioned in the video:

Chicken Comb study –https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18208600

ApresFlex study –https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2974165/

B2 Cool study –https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02843620

Video Transcription

Hey guys, Rob here again with SupplementCritique.com, and in todays review we’re going to be talking about a joint relieving supplement called Arthrozene.

I’m going to talk a little bit about the product first before I dive into my personal results, but if you’d like to jump straight to my results than just scroll below this video.

I have a link that jumps down to my personal results, and it tells you all about how my experiment with Arthrozene went.

So anyways, I actually came across Arthrozene while I was skimming through Yahoo.com one day this past summer.

I saw an ad that kind of caught my eye, so I decided to click on it and it took me to a page that talked about how great Arthrozene is for helping to relieve joint pain.

It went through to their website, and according to them Arthrozene is an all natural joint relief supplement that is designed to attack joint pain and stiffness at the root.

Those root causes include things like Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Gout, and Osteoarthritis, and as anyone suffering from these conditions can tell you, it’s not fun.

According to them, the ingredients in Arthrozene have been clinically tested to help decrease imflammation, slow down cartiledge degradation, and increase lubrication of the joints.

Their full ingredients is actually surprisingly short, and only contains 3 ingredients:

You have ApresFlex – which is essentially a trademarked version of Boswellia Serrata, a tree found native in India.

ApresFlex has been clinically studied as an anti-inflamatory agent, amongst other benefits like an improvement in repiratory and digestive function.

Another unique ingredient is Chicken Comb extract, which is apparently included in the formula because of it’s high content of Hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid has numerous health benefits, but it’s included in the Arthrozene formula because it’s been clinically studied to help relieve joint pain in people with osteoarthritis.

There’s actually been specific clinical studies conducted for Chicken comb extract that have shown a remarkable improvement in the quality of life when it comes to relieving joint pain, and I’ll put a link to that study below the video here.

Next up on our ingredients list is B-2 Cool, which is a natural ingredient supplying native type II collagen.

B2Cool is used to help improve tissue strength in your joints, and has been shown in two studies to reduce pain and imflammation, as well as imrpove mobility of joints in those with osteoarthritis.

Again, I’ll put a link to that study below if you’re interested in reading more on that.

So ever since I initially wrote my preliminary review of Arthrozene, I’ve had a ton of people come to me and ask whether or not Arthrozene will help with a host of conditions.

These conditions range from knee pain cause by knee replacement, joint pain caused by surgeries, and even people with hip replacement pain.

The problem is, we really don’t know if Arthrozene can help specifically with issues like this, mainly because the manufacturer hasn’t claimed that it will.

With that said, we have had numerous people come to the site and leave a review and the vast majority of them are very positive.

For example, Lori writes the following:

The vast majority of the Arthrozene reviews posted on our site have echoed the same sentiment, and I have to say after personally testing it out, I can tell you that it does actually seem to work fairly well.

At least for a little bit.

For those of you that haven’t been following my reviews, I’m an avid beach volleyball player that competes at the semi-pro level.

I’ve been playing since I was probably around 14 years old, and I can’t begin to tell you what kind of an impact the sport has on your joints.

The constant sprinting and jumping can really start to wear you down, especially if you’re doing it all in deep sand 4 – 5 days a week.

This wasn’t a problem when I was in my early 20’s, but we all know how that goes.

I received a 30 count bottle of Arthrozene about a month ago, and I’ve been taking it on an empty stomach everyday.

For the first few days I didn’t really notice much of anything.

I generally will take 2 advil upon waking up, and 2 about an hour before bed to aid with some of the pain.

Within about a week of taking Arthrozene, I started to notice that I really didn’t need that evening dose.

I didn’t even realize it until one night I was reading and realized that I hadn’t taken any Advil, but didn’t really have the usual aches and pains.

Skipping my advil dose that night, I wanted to see if I woke up with more pain than usual.

When I got up, I felt a little bit of aches and pain, but nowhere NEAR what I normally do.

I didn’t skip my morning advil dose, but I could tell that my aches were significantly reduced from what they normally are.

And this is where the apparent benefits seemed to taper down for some reason.

Fast forward to weeks 3 and 4 of my test, and for whatever reason the effects seemed to start wearing off.

It’s almost like I was back where I started.

I needed to start taking my twice a day advil dose, as the Arthrozene just wasn’t cutting it any longer.

I have no idea what could be causing it.

The only thing I can think of is that my body may have built up a sort-or “immunity” to the ingredients.

In conclusion, from having testing it out for just about a month, I’m still kind of torn on making a recommendation.

The reviews that have been pouring in have been nothing but stellar, but I’m a little surprised that it didn’t work just as well for myself.

With that said, Arthrozene does seem to work for about 90% of the people that have tried it, so I would defintely recommend giving it a shot if you’ve been on the fence.

Anyways, that’s all I have for Arthrozene.

If you have any questions on the product for me, you can leave it in the comments section towards the bottom of this page, or send me an email to contact at SupplementCritique.com, and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

That’s all for now, and I’ll be back soon with another review.

Take care.

Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 Pill Review

Sorry guys… turns out size does matter.

In a recent poll, 75% of sexually active people said penis lengthand penis girth is important.

When asked if they’ve ever refused sex or broken up because of the size of the package… get this… 61% said YES because it was way too small.

And only 4% said YES because it was way too big. (Source)

Size matters to your partner

Uh huh.

Of course, there’s no need for a foot-long schlong (diminishing returns).

BUT, for the sake of better sex and increased confidence in the bedroom, you’re gonna want to show up with something— anything! — bigger than a Tic-Tac or a toothpick.

male enhancement products for size

But you know this.

And hey, you might be on the market for a decent sex pill that actually works.

Something that will help with ED and maybe even give you some size down there.

If so, you’re in good hands, as I’ve tested hundreds of male enhancement products — from pumps to pills and everything in-between.

So naturally, my curiosity was piqued when I heard about the Rhino 12Titanium 4000 pill.

Titanium 4000 promises big things for those who suffer from sexual dysfunction, but does it deliver?

This sex pill packs some serious hype.

It promises BIG things — like an increase in penis size, better ejaculation control, and explosive orgasms.

But does it really work?

And if so, how does it work, and is it safe to use?

Let’s get to the bottom of Titanium 4000 and find out if it’s the right male sex enhancer for you and your needs.

What is Rhino 12 Titanium 4000?

Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 sex pill packaging

The pill claims to get you “Bigger, Stronger, Longer” and helps with:

  • Longer period of intercourse
  • Prevent premature ejaculation
  • Better ejaculation control
  • Maximize volume of ejaculation
  • Increase penile thickness and length
  • Improve stamina
  • Experience harder erections
  • Maximize sexual confidence
  • Experience intense, explosive orgasms

Yup, that’s a mouth full, in more ways than one.

In other words, the Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 pill pretty much transforms you into John Rambo between the sheets.

And they claim that one pill lasts up to 8-days.

That’s a boner for every day of the week…PLUS ONE!

Titanium 4000 claims to last up to 8 days

Not a bad deal, if it really works.

And that’s a big IF.

We’ll dig into the efficacy of the pill in just a minute, but there’s another growing concern I wanna bring to your attention.

SO many over-the-counter sex pills contain a hidden ingredient they do NOT want you (or the FDA!) to know about.

It’s a little something called Sildenafil.

Sound familiar?

That’s because it’s the active ingredient in Viagra.

Lots of companies are illegally injecting counterfeit Sildenafil into their OTC products.

Many companies illegally inject Sildenafil, the main ingredient in Viagra, into their sex pills

At this point, I can’t say for sure that Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 is pumping their pills with this hidden ingredient, but I will explore this in-depth in the FAQ’s section below.

Who makes Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 pill?

The packaging says “Distributed by Rhino 12 Titanium 4000.” But I’ve been doing this a long time, so I’ve learned there’s always more to the story.

While I’m not 100% sure who makes it, I do have my suspicions.

I’m pretty sure Rhino Platinum is behind this one.

You know, these guys…

Rhino Platinum 7 might make Titanium 4000 male sex enhancer

In my research, I clicked through an image for Rhino 12 Titanium 4000, and I was taken straight to the Rhino e-commerce site.

Pretty telling.

Also, if you look at the marketing copy for these (and other) Rhino products, you’ll find it reads strikingly similar to the Titanium marketing — “no headaches, long-lasting, time, size, stamina,” etc. So yeah…

What are the Ingredients in Rhino 12 Titanium 4000?

Erectify Ultra has all natural ingredients

Ah yes, now the fun part!

The ingredients section tends to be the “moment of truth” for these supplements.

We get to learn what’s in the stuff, and then match-up the ingredients with the claims to find out if it’s worth your time.

So without further ado, here are the main ingredients in Rhino 12 Titanium 4000:

  • Goji extractis a natural libido-enhancer that may have a positive effect on erectile dysfunction via its antioxidant effects (Source)

Goji berries are found in Titanium 4000 ingredients

  • Licorice is a natural herbal aphrodisiac that may be useful in managing ED (Source)
  • Cordyceps is a mushroom with therapeutic effects, and has been traditionally used to enhance sexual potency and desire (Source)

Cordyceps are a mushroom ingredient found in Titanium 4000 sex pill

  • Cinnamon barkhas a long history as a traditional medicine and has been proven effective at managing sexual dysfunction in aged rats (Source)

Other ingredients include: Deng Sen extract, Atractylodes, Dismutase, Cornus, Cuscuta, Dang Gui, Condonopsis, Panax ginseng, and some other stuff you and I have never heard of.

Typically, male enhancement pills contain ingredients like Tribulus terrestris, Horny Goat Weed, L-Arginine, and other vasodilators that improve blood flow to the penis.

Erectify Ultra will not make your penis bigger

Which makes sense. More blood flow = bigger erections.

But Titanium 4000 seems to take a different approach.

As you might recall, the product claims to help treat everything from premature ejaculation to low-libido, and even make your penis bigger!

I can’t say for sure that it’s ineffective at getting these results (I haven’t tested the product), but the formula certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 FAQ’s

Titanium 4000 frequently asked questions

Will it make my penis bigger?

Probably not.

Best-case-scenario is that you experience bigger and harder erections, which might make it seem like your penis is bigger.

But remember what your mama taught you: a boner is only temporary.

That’s right, a bigger boner is not the same thing as gains in overall size.

Titanium 4000 will not make your penis bigger

And to be honest, although I’ve come close, I haven’t come across any miracle supplement that increases penis size all on its own.

It takes a feat of modern ingenuity at its finest if you want to measure up in this department.

Is Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 safe?

Define safe. 😉

Let’s give it the benefit of the doubt, and say that it only contains the ingredients listed on the packaging.

In that case, you’ll probably be just fine.

I mean, it’s just a boner pill, right?

The worst that could happen is you poke someone’s eye out. Ouch!

A boner could theoretically poke someone's eye out

Or…

You could be taking a pill with a mystery ingredient that can definitely prove harmful.

The FDA warns of companies injecting fake Sildenafil into their products
Image: fda.gov

According to the FDA, this “emerging trend” of lacing products with “untested and unstudied pharmaceutically active ingredients” is becoming a huge problem… especially in products promoted for sexual enhancement. (Source)

RELATED:Rhino 69 Review – One BIG Reason to Beware

You’re just looking for a little help with erectile dysfunction and getting an erection, so the last thing you want is to take a pill that can potentially hurt you.

But if my suspicions ARE true, and Rhino IS the company behind Titanium 4000, then you might be up Sh*%$ creek.

Yup, the FDA has busted them in the past.

Rhino has been busted by the FDA for illegally injecting products with Sildenafil
Image: fda.gov

Look at the name of the product!

Rhino 12 Titanium 6000! Hmmmm… what are the chances?!

The word ‘Titanium’ followed by a round number in the thousands.

Makes you wonder.

Anyhow, the crime is illegally pumping counterfeit Sildenafil (Viagra) into their pills.

Titanium 4000 might illegally inject Sildenafil, the main ingredient in Viagra, into their pills

And here’s why this is dangerous: “This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.

People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.” Source

Now, even the most astute boner-pill-busting-enthusiast — like myself — can be wrong at times.

So maybe Rhino doesn’t make Titanium 4000. And maybe it doesn’t contain illicit Sildenafil.

Hey, I’m just here to give the facts… do with them what you wish. 🙂

RELATED:Closest Thing to Viagra Over the Counter (OTC)

Are there any side effects with Rhino 12 Titanium 4000?

Regardless what the label says, don’t be too surprised if you experience headaches, decreased blood pressure, nausea, and the like.

Despite what the label says, Titanium 4000 might give you a headache as a side effect

How do I take it?

According to the label, you take one pill one hour before sex to help with energy, libido, and sexual performance.

It says it’s best to take it one hour apart from taking any other supplements for optimal effectiveness.

How to take Titanium 4000 male sexual enhancer

So in this way, it’s an on-demand sex pill.

However, the label says it can also be used on a regular basis to maintain optimal readiness before sex.

But do not take more than one pill every 60 hours.

Where can I buy it?

You can buy it from the Rhino Platinum 7 website. Boom. The cat’s outta the bag.

It looks like Rhino does in fact make this sex supplement.

You can buy Titanium 4000 from the Rhino website

A single serving will cost you $11, which is pretty steep compared to other male enhancement pills.

You can also buy Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 on Ebay and Amazon.

You can buy the Titanium 4000 product on Amazon.com

The best deal I found was on Amazon — $60 for a dozen pills.That works out to about $5 per pill, which isn’t so bad.

Unfortunately, the makers of the product do not offer a money-back guarantee.

Can I take it with alcohol?

There is no warning against using Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 with alcohol, but sometimes you never know until it’s too late.

User reviews

There aren’t many reviews for this product to be found online. But I did churn up a few.

The product’s website lists some reviews, which of course are all glowing testimonials of how Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 improved their sex life beyond imagination.But that’s to be expected.

Then I found what I believe to be unbiased reviews on an Ebay listing.

The product gets an impressive 4.5 stars, with 16 out of 20 users giving it excellent marks.

Titanium 4000 user reviews are mostly positive

One guy says that it works just as well as “certain” prescription products [Mmmhmm], but without the nasty headaches.

Another guy claims it’s the best on the market… nevermind the “very bad heartburn.” I guess for some people that’s a small price to pay.

However, it doesn’t seem to work so well for others.

Duly noted.

Recommendations

I’m torn on recommending the Rhino 12 Titanium 4000 pill.

Although the user reviews seem mostly positive, there’s just too many yellow flags in the mix.

The ingredient profile isn’t anything to write home about, and we’re still unsure if it contains illegally injected Sildenafil.

I’m assuming it does, as the fine folks at Rhino (who make this product) have been busted by the FDA for this very same offense.

I do not highly recommend Titanium 4000 sex pill

While you might experience moderate improvement in areas like enhanced libido, erection quality, and orgasms… it won’t add overall size to your penis.

So if you decide to try this product, just go in with managed expectations.

Perhaps if they had marketed it more as a bit of an overall male sex drive and sexual performance supplement the waters would be a little less cold around it for me, but because they promise size gains I have to dock them some points in that department.

At the end of the day, the product will probablynot live up to the marketing hype behind it.

Over The Counter Anxiety Medication

Over The Counter Anxiety Medication Alternatives

Like most people, I suffer from a bit of anxiety here and there.

It’s never usually anything serious, but I have my days.

For random bouts of anxiety, my doctor has prescribed me Ativan to take on an “as needed” basis.

It’s pretty rare that I take it, but when I do it knocks the hell out of any anxiety I may be experienced.

For a little bit at least…

One of the biggest problems with anxiety medications is that they normally end up making your anxiety worse in the short and long-term.

For example, when I take Lorazepam, the anxiety is completely gone for around 24 hours.

However, undoubtedly 12 hours after that I’ll start to see a surge in my anxiety levels, worse than they were before.

This is no way to treat the underlying cause of anxiety…

It’s like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2018/10/band aid bullet
Image credit: Sherwood Forlee

Luckily, there are some OTC options that DO work, and will not skyrocket your anxiety levels when you stop taking it.

The medications and herbal alternatives I’ll be talking about below are all some that I have personally have tested.

While they’re not exactly the best anxiety relieving products on the market, they can help.

And consequentially, you don’t need to jump through hoops (ie a doctor and a prescription) to get them.

I’ve divided up these anxiety alternatives into herbal alternatives and over the counter medications.

Some are only available online, some are only available in stores, and some are available both online and in stores.

I note that at the end of each section.

OTC Anxiety Herbal Alternative #1: Phenibut

I’ve been talking about Phenibut for years at this point, it’s that good.

I’ve used it in conjunction with Extenze to help with sexual libido and power.

I’ve used in it combination with supplements like Optimind to help with focus, concentration, and mental stamina.

And I’ve even used it with pre workout formulas like 4 Gauge to help dial down the anxiety I get from all of the caffeine they pump in the stuff.

What is Phenibut?

According to WebMD, Phenibut is a a chemical similar to a brain chemical called gama-aminobutyric acid (or GABA for short).

It’s actually prescribed as an anti-anxiety drug in Russia, which is where it was first discovered.

So How Does Phenibut Work?

Phenibut works on the GABA receptors in the brain, more specifically the GABA-b receptors.

These are the receptors in the brain that are activated when you drink alcohol or take an anxiety medication like Xanax or Ativan.

Unlike with prescription anxiety drugs, however, Phenibut in large part does not affect motor coordination and function.

That is, at the right doses.

If you take a large dose (1+ grams), it can and will make you tired.

However, at small doses (200 – 700 mg), it will not.

the effects of phenibut in minutes

What it will do is severely diminish your anxiety, as well as:

  • Decrease social anxiety
  • Increase alertness
  • Give you a moderate increase in cognitive processes
  • Increase confidence and pro-social behavior
  • Increase sexual performance and pleasure

How To Take Phenibut

Unlike the other anxiety relief medications below, Phenibut is not so simple to take.

The reason behind this is that doses affect individuals in very different ways.

For example, a 500 mg dose may be just right for you, while it may not do anything for someone else.

When it comes to phenibut for anxiety, it’s all about playing with the dosage.

Take a look at the infographic below to determine the most effective dose for anxiety.

how to take phenibut infographic

Where To Buy Phenibut

Unlike most of the other anxiety medications on this page, you won’t find Phenibut in your local CVS or Walgreens.

In fact, it’s almost strictly sold online.

My preferred vendor for Phenibut is Absorb Your Health, which sells a 50 gram batch for as little as $29.99.

50 Grams will last you a VERY long time if you’re dosing as often as I suggest.

You can pick it up at their website here:https://www.absorbyourhealth.com/product/phenibut/?ref=4349

Phenibut Warnings

So it may sound like Phenibut is a sort of “wonder medication for anxiety”.

The biggest downside to Phenibut is that you should not take it everyday.

Let me explain why:

Because Phenibut has such a long half-life, it’s effects can last for as much as 2 days.

On that note, the effects also seem to build a tolerance VERY rapidly.

So rapidly that before you know it, you’ll start needing to take a higher dosage just to get the same effect.

Don’t do this…!

Try to limit your dose to just one or two times a week, with at least a 3 – 4 day break in between.

Taking any more than that can result in withdrawal, which is not pleasant.

Use the other over the counter anxiety medications and herbal remedies on this page on the days you don’t use Phenibut.

OTC Anxiety Herbal Alternative #2– L-Theanine

L-Theanine has been one of my go-to over the counter anxiety remedies for years at this point.

I like to combine 200 mg along with 80 mg of caffeine on days where I’m trying to get a lot of stuff done.

It’s actually been clinically studied and proven effective that way. (Source)

Basically, L-Theanine helps to curb an anxiety you may get from the caffeine.

So How Does It Work?

Well, L-theanine promotes relaxation and can help to induce sleep by influencing 3 processes.

Boosts GABA Production, Increases Serotonin, and Increases Dopamine

The brain is basically comprised of excitatory neurotransmitters, called Glutamate, and inhibitory neurotransmitters, called GABA.

Glutamate production is increased from stimulants, including illegal ones like PCP and Cocaine, and legal ones like Caffeine. (Source)

GABA production is increased by things like alcohol consumption, tranquilizers, and even some foods. (Source)

Research has shown that Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA for short) can help block brain signals that contribute to anxiety. (Source)

L-Theanine has also shown effective at increasing serotonin and dopamine, both of which have an effect on mood and anxiety levels.

Where to buy L-Theanine

Unlike with Phenibut, L-Theanine is freely available over the counter, and often very cheaply.

For example, the average price of Theanine at Walmart hovers somewhere around $25 for a month supply.

Additionally, you can find it at CVS and Walgreens for about the same price.

L-Theanine does not have abuse or addiction potential, so you can take it everyday for all sorts of anxiety, including OCD behavior, Social anxiety, and even panic disorder.

OTC Anxiety Herbal Alternative #3– Valerian Root

Valerian Root has been around for 100’s of years, and has been shown effective at helping with both improved sleep quality and anxiety issues.

You’ll find Valerian root in several over the counter anxiety medications, including Somnapure, Restalex PM, and Alteril.

How does Valerian Root help with anxiety?

While studies are still limited, it is thought to work by increasing levels of GABA in the brain.

This is similar to most other anxiety-relieving products, although the exact process is still unknown.

The nice thing about Valerien root is, unlike with Phenibut, you can take it everyday without having to worry about any rebound effects.

With that said, the effects are way less pronounced then with Phenibut.

Where To Buy Valerian Root?

You can find Valerian Root practically everywhere.

Amazon sells a 100 count bottle of Natures Way brand Valerian root for as little as $8.

Similarly, you can buy a bag of fresh valerien root to dip in hot water for maximal absorbency.

For example, a 1 lb. bulk bag of cut and sifted valerien sells for just under $17.

Alternatively, you’ll find it in stores like:

  • CVS: Where the average price is around $10.
  • Walgreens: Average price is around $9.
  • Walmart: Where the avg. price is about $7.

If you’re looking for the fastest anxiety-relieving effects, I would recommend getting a tincture of anxiety.

Because of the nature of how you’re supposed to take it, it will kick in way quicker vs. pill form.

Other Honorable OTC Anxiety Medication Herbal Alternative Mentions

While the 3 above work the best for curbing your anxiety, there are a few others I’d like to point out.

They include:

Magnesium

For me, Magnesium seems to be hit or miss. It actually seems to be more of a muscle relaxer more than anything else.

With that said, there has been plenty of clinical evidence supporting it’s use at helping with anxiety relief.

One study noted inconclusive evidence that Magnesium had any effect on anxiety symptoms.

GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid)

From my personal experience, GABA doesn’t seem to do much to curb anxiety.

With that said, some studies suggest otherwise. GABA actually plays a critical role in anxiety disorders, and using GABA itself as a supplement has shown some promise.

Kratom

Kratom (pronounced Kray-Tom) is another OTC alternative. I’ve talked about Kratom several times on this site before, and specifically have an article which outlines exactly how it works for helping with anxiety.

Click Here to check it out.

OTC Anxiety Medication #1 – ZZZQuil (Diphenhydramine HCL)

I discovered ZZZQuil when I was talking to a buddy of mine who was experienced significant bouts of insomnia.

He was going through a divorce, things were rough at work, and his life was generally a mess.

He said ZZZQuil was an absolute godsend for helping him fall asleep and stay asleep.

Having a bout of insomnia myself, I decided to try it out as well.

The first thing I noticed is that it doesn’t really “knock you out” the way a traditional sleep aid would.

Rather, it seemed to work VERY well at simply relieving my anxiety.

After taking 2 pills, I could almost feel the thoughts and stresses of the day literally escape my mind within 15 min.

Mind you, I would always take the ZZZQuil about 20 min. before lights out.

One particularly stressful day, I decided to take 1 pill of ZZZQuil early afternoon to see if it would have any impact on my anxiety.

And sure as shit, within 30 min. of taking that pill I felt calmer, more relaxed, and most importantly, it didn’t make me super tired.

How Come ZZZQuil Is An Effective OTC Anxiety Alternative?

The secret to ZZZQuil is in the sauce.

The active ingredient in ZZZQuil is a chemical called Diphenhydramine HCL, which is a powerful anti-histamine.

According to Mental Health Daily, “low doses ofdiphenhydramine acts as an inverse agonist at central and peripheral histamine receptor sites”.

AS a result, users report a drastic lessening of anxiety, and feel calmer and more relaxed.

In fact, one study comparingDiphenhydramine HCL to 0.5 mg and 1 mg of Alprazolam respectively found that it can lower the startle response by as much as 50% when compared to a placebo.

diphenhydramine vs alprazolam for anxiety

When Should You Take ZZZQuil?

In my personal experience, it makes sense to take ZZZQuil at night, several hours before bed.

Since it’s originally intended to help with sleep, there’s a good chance that it will make you….well, tired.

When Should You NOT Take ZZZQuil?

The biggest issues with Benadryl is the fact that it can make you sleepy.

So for example, you wouldn’t want to take Benadryl first thing in the morning and then drive your kids to school.

In fact, you wouldn’t want to drive at ALL after takingdiphenhydramine.

Where To Buy Diphenhydramine HCL?

You can finddiphenhydramine in over the counter medications like ZZZQuil, Advil PM, and Benadryl. (Source)

They sell it virtually everywhere, including CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and Rite Aid.

Depending on what size box you get, it can retail for as little as $4.44 for 24 tablets, to as much as $27 for a 4-pack.

Natural Ways To Reduce Anxiety

There are plenty of non-medication ways to relieve your anxiety.

  1. Get Plenty Of Exercise

This one has been mentioned on 1,000’s of other sites, but it bears repeating.

Exercise is, and has always been, one of the best anti-anxiety alternatives available.

There’s no if’s and’s, or buts about it.

It’s been proven both in clinical studies, and from my own personal experience.

In fact, according to the ADAA, even just taking a 10 minute walk has shown to decrease stress and anxiety at insane levels.

We have plenty of exercise resources here on SupplementCritique.com, and you can find all of them on this page.

2. Meditation

I don’t have too much experience with Meditation, but I’ve done a lot of research on the subject and it appears to be great at relieving anxiety.

One study noted that mindfulness meditation may help to relieve symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and may also help improve stress reactivity.

Another study, which was conducted on persons suffering from a wide range of conditions like depression, cancer, and GAD, showed moderate improvement in anxiety symptoms.

I don’t have a specific mindfulness-meditation program that you should use, but a simple google search will show some near you.

3. Lifestyle Changes

The saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is very true when it comes to anxiety.

There are many causes of anxiety, ranging from:

  • Excessive stimulant consumption
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Smoking
  • An unhealthy diet

The key here is to identify what exactly is causing your anxiety.

Answer the following questions honestly:

“Do you drink alcohol in excess?”

If so, this could be the source of your anxiety. While it may lessen your anxiety in the short term, it can skyrocket it in the long-term.

Put down the bottle and try some tea with L-theanine to help you wind down after a particularly stressful day.

“Do you smoke cigarettes or use nicotine products?”

While you may think that nicotine is helping you relax, nothing could be further from the truth.

Research has shown that nicotine, the addictive chemical in cigarettes, can actually increase anxiety and tension.

“Do you have a poor diet?”

If the answer is yes, than you’re not alone.

Statistically, an unhealthy diet contributes to 678,000 deaths annually in the US.

Additionally, it has been proven to cause a wide range of health issues, including…you guessed it, and increase in anxiety.

There are plenty of online resources to help with diet, but take a look at our “Big List Of Foods You Can Eat“.

It’s packed with tons of info on the “right” types of foods you should be eating.

Conclusion

Anxiety is no laughing matter.

Millions of Americans suffer from it on a routine basis, and as shown above, there are ways to help relieve that anxiety.

If you’re looking for an effective over the counter anxiety medication, these alternatives can help.

Erectify Ultra Review

Lots of men suffer from erectile dysfunction.

It’s just a fact of life.

As men age, our testosterone plummets, and suddenly we’re left wondering what the hell happened to our sex drive and those rock hard erections we used to get.

And to be honest, it’s not just older men who are affected by ED, it’s the young guns too!

One study found that one in four men who went in for ED treatment was under the age of 40. Source

So naturally, guys are out looking for a quick fix. . . or any fix.

And there’s no shortage of male sexual enhancement products on the market.

In fact, I’ve tried over 100 of them, so I know a little something about what’s worth your time, and what’s a big fat waste of money.

Today we’re gonna have a look at Erectify Ultra, a new sex pill that claims to be medical strength, yet 100% all-natural.

And it promises to give you “longer stamina, harder erections, and stronger performance.”

Does it stack up and deliver on its promises?

Or is it yet another sex supplement scam in a sea of scams?

Let’s have a look.

1. Fake marketing behind Erectify Ultra

Here’s how it works.

You’ll be searching the web, minding your business, and all of the sudden you’re looking at an advertisement that says (in so many words) “Buy this product and it’ll fix your d*#k!”

Next thing you know, you’re on the product sales page that looks a whole lot like this…

Yep, that’s Erectify Ultra, the male sex enhancer that’s in the hot seat today.

Now if you follow my site, the sales page for Erectify Ultra should look awfully familiar to you.

Why?

Because it’s pretty much the SAME EXACT design and copy as Verutum RX…

And let’s not forget Climadex…

And I could go on and on about the scam ED products that I’ve busted over the years.

Welcome to erectile dysfunction junction!

But what I’m getting at is this: there seems to be one company that’s creating one bogus product after the next, using the same marketing tactics, all in hopes of bilking you of your hard-earned money.

Not cool.

They even claim the products have been featured on legit media outlets like CNBC, CNN, Men’s Health, etc.

Well I searched “Erectify Ultra CNN” and got nothing.

A big goose egg.

And you won’t find so much as a mention of the product on any other reputable news source either.

So let’s get to the bottom of this.

2. What IS Erectify Ultra?

It’s a male sex enhancer made by a company called Healthy Male Concepts, which we’ll get to in a bit.

Let’s give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s a real product.

And let’s assume that once you give your credit card number, they’ll actually ship the real product to your door.

Best. Case.

Scenario.

You open the package and there it is in all its glory.

Emblazoned across the bottle is the big bold promise…

Supercharge my sex life?

Mind blowing orgasms for him and her? Uh, yes please.

But how?

Here’s how:

  • Get long-lasting erections that are almost too hard
  • Turbo-charge your stamina for increased libido
  • Reclaim your sexual confidence

Don’t get me wrong, there are products on the market that are somewhat effective at giving results like these.

In other words, these claims aren’t so different than what I’m used to seeing.

But there’s one more we need to examine.

That is, Erectify Ultra says it will make your penis bigger.

Seriously, the claim is that it “may add inches to your penis size, both length and girth wise.”

Right… and I can ball like Lebron James and run faster than a cheetah.

Scam sex pills like Erectify Ultra will promise the world.

But all it takes is a little intentional research to blow their cover.

So let’s have a look at what this pill is made of, and whether or not the ingredients have been shown to be effective in these areas.

3. What are the ingredients in Erectify Ultra?

In all honesty, this product has all the makings of a half-decent sex pill.

The ingredient profile is all-natural, as they claim, and made up of mostly herbal and fruit extracts like…

  • Horny Goat Weed is an herb that has been traditionally used in China for centuries to help with low libido and erectile dysfunction (Source)
  • Turnera Diffusa, also called Damiana, is a small perennial plant used by the ancient Mayan civilization as a natural aphrodisiac (Source)
  • Avena Sativa appears to be effective at treating impotence and premature ejaculation in men (Source)
  • Cayenne Fruitis a pepper that may help with weight loss, improved sexual function, and digestive health (Source)
  • Tribulus terrestris, according to a well-known study, is a hardy plant that may be useful in mild to moderate cases of ED (Source)
  • Muira Puama is a tree native to Brazil that is said to help increase blood flow to the penis for improved libido and harder erections (Source)
  • Saw Palmetto is likely most effective at treating the psychological component of erectile dysfunction (Source)

Looking at the Erectify Ultra formula, there’s really nothing to write home about.

Most of the ingredients need further study to determine if they’re actually effective for treating low libido, erectile dysfunction, etc.

But remember, the makers of this product said it may add inches to your penis size.

Well, I looked at the ingredients individually, and found nothing that supports this claim.

In fact, when you come across a product (any product!) that says it will make your penis bigger, be VERY skeptical.

I’ve been doing this a loooong time, and I’ve yet to find a pill that delivers in the area of penis enlargement (not that I need it, but you know). 😉

4. How I know it doesn’t stack up

There’s a little link at the very bottom of the Erectify Ultra site.

Click on it and you arrive at the Terms & Conditions page.

Boy was this a circus to get through.

I’ll highlight just a few of the most absurd terms that I came across, starting with this one…

Apparently the company, Healthy Male Concepts, is “not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice or statement” written on their Erectify Ultra site.

What in the world?!

Have you ever heard of such a thing?

Next we have the refund policy. And some refund policy it is!

Needless to say, if you’re looking to get your money back, you’re up shits creek without a paddle.

Here’s the Erectify Ultra Refund Policy, in its entirety

I mean, c’mon.

That doesn’t even make any sense.

Which brings us to the warranty, another gem courtesy of Erectify Ultra…

I’m sure you get the picture by now.

The makers of the product won’t touch a refund or warranty with a ten-foot pole.

And they pretty much absolve themselves of any misinformation or downright lies written on their site.

Is this legal? No way!

But who’s gonna stop them?

5. Erectify Ultra User Reviews

I searched all over to find a single solitary review (good or bad!) of this male sex enhancer.

And I came up bone dry.

That, my friends, is a tell-tale sign to steer clear of a product.

And this is a good rule of thumb: if you can’t find peoples’ opinion, it’s likely the product doesn’t really exist.

With that said, you can hop on YouTube and find BS videos of people (perhaps unwittingly) promoting the Erectify scam.

Like this one…

Obviously, it’s not a review at all.

It’s an advertisement for you to buy the product through their link.

Be very wary of these videos that offer no substance and all sales… they’re everywhere.

Erectify Ultra FAQ’s

6. Who makes it?

The makers of this sex pill are Healthy Male Concepts, LLC.

They show their hand on the Terms & Conditions page, where they imply that they are based out of Las Vegas, NV.

Just to be sure, I dug a bit deeper and found that the company is indeed based in Las Vegas (sin city, go figure).

And it was formed in January of this year.

Other than this small window into the company behind Erectify Ultra, there really is no other information on the web about them.

I do suspect they’re the ones behind many of the recent sex pill scams I’ve busted.

I won’t go into further detail about the company, but I will say, you can find anything online these days.

7. Is it a scam?

You might think my answer to this question is a resounding ‘YES’!

But first, let’s take a moment to review.

Erectify Ultra says it can increase libido and help with erectile dysfunction.

Perhaps it can, as it contains ingredients that may help in these areas.

But then it claims to grow you inches in size, which it cannot possibly do with the ingredients it lists.

So yes, they use false advertisement to get you to buy a product that isn’t effective.

They swindle and fraud you out of your hard-earned money.

This is the very definition of a scam.

And as you might recall, we gave Erectify Ultra the benefit of the doubt and assumed it IS a real product.

But what if it isn’t?

I’ve come across reviews for similar product scams where men have complained they NEVER received a single shipment, yet their credit card continues to get charged month after month.

When they try to call in or write to the company, they get the run-around, or worse, they get silence.

To sum it up, I believe this one’s definitely a boner-fied scam.

8. What’s a good alternative?

So you want bigger, harder erections and increased libido.

Overall, you want to be a beast in the bedroom again.

I get it.

Although I’ve yet to come across a miracle pill that delivers in all these areas, I have come close.

One of my highest reviewed male sex supplements is Dr. Seltzer’s Hardon Helper.

It’s an affordable OTC alternative to Viagra or Cialis, and one that I experienced some pretty epic results from using.

I won’t go into detail, but you can read all about it here.

Or… if you’re looking to increase your penis size, you’ll never get results with all-natural herbal extracts.

It just ain’t gonna happen. So I encourage you to read this review of products that might actually help you gain size.

9. Recommendations

It goes without saying that I do NOT recommend this product.

I showed you how strikingly similar the marketing behind Erectify Ultra is to scams like Climadex and Verutum RX, just to name a couple.

RELATED:Climadex Review

This, to me, is pretty convincing evidence that the same company is behind this rash of scam products hitting the market.

We talked about the ingredients, which cannot possibly deliver on the product’s promises… especially of adding inches to your penis size.

Then I went into some detail about their Terms and Conditions, which are downright scary.

In the end, nothing good can come of purchasing this sex enhancer.

But the more important point is this: do your homework before you whip out your credit card to buy any product — especially a penis pill.

Scams like these are a dime a dozen. They prey on men who are at an all-time low in the confidence department.

They exploit your weakness, promise the world, manipulate you into buying, and at the end of the day, you’re holding a limp dick (excuse my French) and wondering why you’ve only got $5 bucks in your bank account.

So hopefully this review tipped you off to some of the most common tricks, traps, and trends that these shady companies use to swindle you good.

It’s a scary world out there.Do your best to stay smart and stay safe.

And in the meantime, steer clear of Erectify Ultra, and maybe try one of the alternatives that I provided above.

There’s hope for us yet.
