Review Criteria

Safe Effective Herbal Ingredients

We only included ingredients in our review where we found multiple scientific studies vs. anecdotal evidence that support it's positive effect on the various functions that are important to produce a strong full erection, increase libido and treat impotence issues. This is not to say that other herbs are not effect, only that we have scientific research backing the ones listed.

Shilajit (Viagra effect)

The anti-stress and adjuvant effects have been evaluated in a number of India studies. Shilajit is found to provide an anti-oxidant defense against several reactive oxygen types. Processed Shilajit provided complete protection to methacrylate against hydroxyl radical induced polymerization and acted as a reversible nitric oxide-captodative agent. These findings are consistent with the therapeutic uses of Shilajit as an Ayurvedic (rejuvenator) against oxidative stress and geriatric complaints of erectile dysfunction.

Horny Goat Weed (Viagra effect)

Horny goat weed has been used for for over 2000 years as an sexual and reproductive tonic. It's acts in multiple ways to increase erection ability, size, and fullness.

Horny goat weed contains a prominent flavonoid called icariin. Icariin is a cGMP-specific PDE5 inhibitor like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. This was demonstrated in a 1984 University of Peking study.

Also it functions like an adaptogen by increasing levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine when they are low - promoting energy, but reduces cortisol levels when they are elevated (an anti-stress effect). High stress conditions, increase cortisol levels causing fatigue and depressing sex drive.

Finally, horny goat weed can restore low levels of both testosterone and thyroid hormone back to normal - improving sex drive.  

L-Arginine (Viagra effect)

L-arginine is an amino acid present in all life forms. Typical food sources include meat, nuts, eggs, milk, & cheese.

Arginine a required building block to enable the synthesis of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and allows more blood to flow through arteries to the penis. If your body is low on Arginine then Nitric Oxide creation can suffer reducing penile blood flow. L-arginine insures that your body has this critical amino acid required to have strong erections.

In fact, research has shown that the effect of Viagra is increased when combined with L-arginine.

L-arginine also increases sperm count and motility. In one study sperm count was increased in 62% of the men taking L-arginine. Other benefits of L-arginine include improving the cardiovascular function and hypertension.

Allium Sativum - Garlic (Viagra effect)

Yes, Good old garlic. In two different 1998 studies one from the National University of Mexico and another from the Institute of Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmacy, Munich, Germany show garlic to "activate nitric oxide synthase" or enhance the nervous systems ability to react to nitric oxide.

Also there are multiple studies compiled at the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute which demonstrate Garlic’s assistance in both preventing and having curative effects on several medical conditions which are often the cause of ED. These include high blood pressure, heart disease, hypertension and atherosclerosis.

Mucuna Pruriens

Mucuna Pruriens works as a prolactin inhibitor, a growth hormone stimulant and to increase testosterone.

A U.S. patent was filed in 2002 on the use of mucuna pruriens to stimulate the release of growth hormone in humans. The high levels of l-dopa in the mucuna seed are converted to dopamine which stimulates the release of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. L-dopa and dopamine are effective prolactin inhibitors

Increased levels of prolactin are considered responsible for 70% of erection failure in males. In one study, oral intake of the seeds in 56 human males was able to improve erection, duration of coitus, and post-coital satisfaction after only four weeks of treatment. It also has alsopromots spermatogenic effects in men, improving sperm count and motility.

Tribulus Terrestris

Tribulus is a natural testosterone enhancer. It is also said to be an excellent circulatory system tonic and can help build muscles and strength.

Clinical studies on the sexual activity-enhancing effect of tribulus have shown the herb to contain protodioscin, a saponin constituent, improving libido in men with impotence due to various causes; libido in women with menopausal symptoms; and sperm motility in infertile and subfertile men.

In another study involving 59 men, ages 22-67, suffering from a range of sexual dysfunctions. An increase of sexual desire and fantasies, as well as sexual self-confidence, were reported in almost all of the patients. The subjective experience of pleasure, joy and satisfaction was reported in 80% of the men; erection improved in over 75% of the men; and the duration of intercourse before ejaculation was prolonged in 25% of the men.

Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longfolia)

The root (long jack root) of the Eurycoma longifolia tree has been used for centuries in Malaysia as a traditional remedy for fatigue, loss of sexual desire, and impotence. This amazing plant has only recently been recognized in the west for it's potency helping sexual performance issues. 

The bioactive Glygopeptide compounds in Tongkat ali were shown to increase free testosterone and decrease SHBG levels in human clinical trials. Both effects assist a mans erection ability, performance and sex drive.

In the study by Ismail Tamby, MD, head of the Human Reproductive Specialist Center in Kuala Lumpur, 90% of the men given Tongkat ali extract reported a boost in their libido and 73.3% reported improved sexual function.

As an added benefit Tongkat Ali contains superoxide dimutase, a powerful anti-oxidant enzyme that inhibits the chain reaction of free radicals harmful to the body.

Ashwagandha

Here is what the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center had to say in their  Ashwagandha Clinical Summary.

"It (Ashwagandha) is also used as a general tonic, to increase energy and improve health and longevity...  Ashwagandha has been shown to exhibit antioxidant effects in the brain and to have a tranquilizing effect on the central nervous system in animals... Human study's suggest Ashwagandha may promote growth in children and improve hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell count and sexual performance in adults."

Contains Non-Herbal Ingredients

Zenerx does not contain other additives.

Enzyte contains the following other ingredients: Dicalcium phosphate, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, silica and film coat (hypromellose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, polyethylene glycol, titanium dioxide, propylene glycol, and FD&C blue #2 lake).

Herbal Ingredients That Support Overall Male Health and Prevent/Help ED Causing Conditions

There are multiple causes of weak & small erections, impotence and low sex drive which may range from mild (low sex drive, weak erections, lack of energy, slow and weak ejaculation) to severe (total inability to achieve erection and complete lack of sexual desire).

These include:

  • Cardiovascular (i.e. restricted blood flow, high blood pressure, heart disease, hypertension and atherosclerosis)
  • Renal or urological
  • Nutritional (i.e. malnutrition, vitamin or mineral deficiency)
  • Endocrine (i.e. low testosterone or high prolactin)
  • Neurological
  • Muscular & Tissue
  • Psychological (i.e. stress, anxiety, etc.)

By increasing your health in the above areas you are often able resolve sexual dysfunction issues. This is perhaps where the greatest benefit that natural herbal supplements provide to a mans total sexual performance.

Minimal - Ingredients provide primarily support for an erection, but limited benefits in other important areas.

Moderate - Ingredients provide some additional benefits to the other ED related conditions and overall health.

Significant - Ingredients provide significant preventative/help benefits for other ED causing conditions and overall male health.

Potentially Dangerous Ingredients

We reviewed the ingredients in each of the supplements and cross checked the ingredients against ingredients identified by the FDA as "Supplement Ingredients With Concerns" The one common ingredient on this list is Yohimbe it is considered dangerous and it is an ingredient in a number of male enhancement/impotence products on the market.

Our recommendation is to avoid any product containing Yohimbe. There are many other alternative ingredients that have proven effective and are safe.

Neither Enzyte nor Zenerx contain Yohimbe or any other FDA "Supplement Ingredients With Concerns"

While the ingredients contained in both supplements are considered safe  individuals may have different reactions to the ingredients just like with food.

Other Factors

Product Guarantee

It is important that any manufacturer stand behind their product with a money back guarantee. The fact is, each individual is different. Some formulations may work better than others for an individual their condition that may be cause impotence, small or weak erections. That's why a 100% guarantee is a must and the manufacturer must follows through with the guarantee.

According to consumer groups and the Better Business Bureau, Berkeley (maker of Enzyte) generates a high number (3522) of complaints .

(1) "Enzyte used deceptive practices to prevent customers from receiving ‘double your money back’ refunds"

A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of purchasers of the herbal male enhancement supplement Enzyte, claiming the manufacturer Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals (Berkeley) knowingly used false and unproven claims to lure men into purchasing the supplement, and used deceptive practices to prevent customers from receiving ‘double your money back’ refunds.

The suit alleges that Berkeley, which is currently running a national ad campaign featuring innuendos and a silent 'Smiling Bob' character, claimed that Enzyte would add one to three inches to a man’s penis size or customers would get double their money back, among other claims.

Customers trying to collect on Enzyte’s guarantee received deceptive attempts to coerce them into giving up their right to receive a refund, and ultimately did not receive twice the purchase amount as promised, according to the complaint.

Made in The US

By purchasing only from companies that only manufacture their product in the US you can help insure that the ingredients are as labeled. Most of the supplements that have had other substances added (such as sildenafil citrate) have been manufactured outside of the US by unscrupulous companies.

Check to make sure that the supplement is manufactured in the US and not just a US company that imports their product from abroad. The Vinarol recall is a recent example of this occurring.

Known FDA Complaints or Recall for the Specific Product

We checked to see if there are any known product complaints or recalls registered with the FDA for each of the products reviewed.

Known Better Business Bureau Complaints

We check with the Better Business to determine if there are any complaints and the resolution of the complaints.

Enzyte has a lengthy history and pattern of unsatisfactory business practices see the BBB report below. Claims filed 3522, 1421 satisfactorily resolved.

Better Business Bureau Report For Enzyte (Berkely Premium Nutraceuticals)

Also does business as Boland Naturals, Inc. , Lifekey Healthcare, Inc. 
LifeKey, Inc., Wagner Nutriceuticals, Wagner Pharmaceuticals, Warner Health Care, Inc.. 

"Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to a pattern of complaints concerning billing issues as well as unanswered and unresolved complaints.... More recently, the company has denied refund requests from consumers who have ordered product online stating that the website order form includes disclosures..."

Zenerx did not have any claims filed with the BBB

Potential Misleading Claims

Because we do expect companies to shine a positive light on their product, we try to give they the benefit of the doubt on subjective information. Because every individual is different results of any herbal supplement or pharmaceutical will vary. That's why in our review we focus on the proven ingredients. However if a claim is made that is clearly mis-leading based on other factual evidence it is graded as a potentially mis-leading statement.

Based on the above facts Enzyte was found to have potentially mis-leading claims regarding their guarantee and the use of deceptive practices.

We did not find any with Zenerx.

Recommendations

While all both products include a variety of ingredients that have been shown to be effective to increase erection ability, size, firmness and help impotence, we cannot recommend Enzyte because they do not honor their guarantee by refunding customers money.

In this review, we only recommend Zenerx.
