Penis Enlargement Pills

Up until the late 1990's, the only methods of penis enlargement to be widely-publicized on the Net were exercise and surgery. And many men, including myself, for whom surgery wasn't an option found that with a little bit of dedication and commitment, the use of natural enlargement exercises could lead to pretty amazing results when performed properly. But, as with everything, the search had always been on for a method of penis enlargement which was even simpler, and in attempt to provide the solution the first 'penis enlargement pills' hit the market just at the turn of the new Millennium.

Although certainly met with a great deal of scepticism from many (myself included), penis enlargement pills nevertheless proved to be an instant massive seller. In the following months a band-wagon of companies started to produce their own formulas (of varying qualities) in an attempt to cash in on this new phenomenon and as a result, the internet quickly became swamped by penis pill advertisements and spam. As the dust has settled over the last few years however, only a handful of penis pill companies have survived with their integrities intact and only a few of these supplements have really proved their worth.

The few brands that have stood the test of time are the ones that are generally produced in pharmaceutical grade facilities to ensure product purity, have high levels of 'active ingredients' and have been medically developed in line with solid clinical research. Supplements such as VigRX Plus and Male Extra are good examples that immediately spring to mind.

Ingredients...

Penis enlargement pills, as they're popularly termed, contain a variety of natural ingredients, particularly herbs and amino acids, which have a history of usage in treating both low sex drive and male sexual problems such as weak erections and impotence.

If you take a look at the ingredients of one of the more reputable brands of penis enlargement pill, Vig-RX Plus, you'll notice that these tend to be 'pro-sexual' herbs such as Gingko, Ginseng, Epimedium Sagittatum (better known as horny goat weed), Muira Pauma, Saw Palmetto, Damiana and Tribulus.

Although natural, as opposed to synthetic drugs, the medicinal effectiveness of these herbs should not be underestimated. Numerous medical studies have shown that they can act as potent and powerful aids to both maintaining and improving male sexual health.

More importantly however, when correctly combined, such pro-sexual herbs are known to have a powerful synergistic effect. This basically means that when taken together, certain ingredients tend to positively interact with one another and their effects on the body become far more potent than if they were taken on their own.

The manufacturers of the better 'penis pills' simply take simply advantage of this synergistic effect to maximize effectiveness.

Physiological Effects...

So no doubt you're wondering how these supplements are meant to have such a dramatic affect that they could possibly lead to permanent penis enlargement.

Well…to answer that, you first need to take a look at the physiological effects produced by the various ingredients.

Firstly, and probably most importantly, ingredients such as Ginkgo, Ginseng, Horny Goat Weed and the amino acid L-arginine are known to cause the arteries (including those which feed the penis) to expand. Known as 'vasodilators', these herbs have the effect of boosting blood flow to the penis.

Not surprisingly, these blood boosting herbs have long been used to treat impotence or otherwise weak erections.

Secondly, herbs such as Muira Puama, Tribulus and Saw Palmetto have been shown to raise levels of the male sex hormone Testosterone. Increasing your testosterone levels obviously leads to an enhanced sex drive, and also encourages more frequent and longer lasting erections.

The theory behind penis enlargement pills is that these combined effects are multiplied when taken by a healthy adult male (that is, someone not suffering from impotence or low sex drive) – to produce extremely powerful erections.

Results in Practice...

I've finished off a fair few packets of VigRX Plus in my time – enough to give a pretty objective first hand account of their effects.

One thing's for sure – they do induce strong erections. After a couple of weeks of use the combination of increased blood flow and elevated sex drive gives you hard, swollen erections like never before. And because of this, yes they do make your penis look larger when erect. Even when flaccid, it has to be said, you keep that 'just got out of a hot bath' look.

What some of the less scrupulous manufacturers would have you believe is that this effect of promoting extremely strong erections will gradually induce permanent enlargement.
Well in my experience…no. Impressive as the results are at the time, they tend to diminish pretty quickly once you've finished the bottle.

The moral of the tale here is, 'don't believe the hype' – as you'll have read me say elsewhere on this site, there are no quick fixes to a larger penis.

There are numerous review sites which 'rate' penis enlargement pills against each other and always show a clear winner – the one which is guaranteed to add two permanent inches to your penis or your money back. Unfortunately, these sites are there just to sell you a product and I guarantee you'll end up disappointed.

The reality is that even the good brands on the market only provide the results stated above. That is, they'll give you powerful, somewhat larger looking erections for as long as you take them, but no longer.

Having said that, the penile blood boosting properties of such pills can be of benefit to those serious about enlarging their penis. When used in tandem with penis enlargement exercise techniques for example, the improved blood flow to the genital area has been shown to significantly enhance recovery between workout sessions...ultimately resulting in faster gains. To this end, many of the leading pill brands now include comprehensive penile exercise manuals with their supplements. For more information, see the links below.
