Every few months there is a new “male enhancement” pill showing up on T.V. The newest fads are Extenze and Magna-Rx+. Although they call them male enhancement pills, the advertisements lead you to think they are for penis enlargement and increasing erection strength and stamina. At least that is what they are supposed to do. Some supplement manafacturers have gotten sued over making similiar claims in the past. Is Extenze or Magna-RX anything different than these past male enhancement pills or is it just the same hype under a new name?

Most of these herbs and minerals are pretty well known, but many are unproven and even debatable on how well they work. DHEA is a precursor to testosterone, estrogen, and other hormones and has been used by middle aged men as a hormone replacement. DHEA may give a long term benefit to boosting your sexual health through improving your hormone levels. The yohimbe extract is a popular bodybuilding stimulant used for fat loss, but it also has been used commercially for erections and sexual stamina. Yohimbe does seem to increase libido, erection strength, and sexual stamina. Tribulus terrestris extract ancedotally has been thought to be an aphrodesiac and there is some research on rats I have found, that may support that. Zinc is good for boosting testosterone levels as it prevents the conversion of testosterone to dht. It also is good for prostate health. Ginseng will only give you more energy. Velvet deer antler and horny goat weed have been for years thought of as aphrodesiacs, but how well they actually work is debateable. L-arginine is a common ingredient for bodybuilders to increase muscle building and pumps. It is thought to cause a increase in NO in the blood, dilating the vessels. This is the same mechanism by which viagra works. However, there is a lot of new research studies showing that arginine supplementation does not effect NO levels in blood unless it is intravaneously injected. Most of the other herbs are unproven and just sort of thrown together. Extenze is basically a combination of herbs, stimulants, amino acids, minerals, pro-hormones, aphrodesiacs (some that work some that probably don’t), and a bunch of other herbs that probably don’t work. They throw a little bit of everything, proven or unproven.

Magna-RX+ Review:

Magna-RX+ has many of the same ingredients of Extense, but not quite as many.

L-Arginine, Nettle Leaf, Cayenne, Muira Puama, OrchicSubstance, Oyster Meat, Tribulus, Zinc, Sarsparilla, Astragalus, Licorice Root, Pumpkin Seed, Boron, Pygeum, Maca, Catauba, Horney Goat Weed, Oat Straw

The biggest ingredient in Magna-RX is L-Arginine, which as said earlier doesn’t work for erections.

Does Magna-RX+ and Extense work?

If your looking for something to increase your penis size, then forget it. These pills definitely won’t do that, just like none of the previous “male enhancement pills” did. I think men thinking it might help increase their penis size is probably why most buy these male enhancement pills to begin with. If you want something to increase your energy, sexual stamina, and erection hardness, then Extenze probably could help. They add so many different ingredients, it should help you, especially if you are already struggling with weak erections or lack of stamina.

Magna-RX on the other hand probably won’t do much because it contains less ingredients, most of which are unproven herbs. Their main ingredient is L-arginine, which recent research is showing just doesn’t work when taken orally, for increasing NO levels in the blood to help with erections.
