VigRX™
is a safe, proprietary selection of special herbs
renowned for their special properties and blended
in a powerfully effective combination. Gathered
from around the globe, they include:
•
Epimedium Leaf Extract
Epimedium was discovered in 200 BC. Legend has it
that an ancient Chinese goat herder noticed that
his flock suddenly became sexually active after
grazing in a certain patch of weed. The Chinese
consider Epimedium to be the premier libido lifter
for men. It is also reputed to have a testosterone
effect, to stimulate the sensory nerves and restore
sexual desire. After centuries of use in China,
top medical doctors now report that Epimedium can
be used to boost libido, improve erectile function,
restore sexual power and increase sensation. Scientifically,
Epimedium works by freeing up testosterone, which
naturally increases sex drive and endurance.
•
Cuscuta Seed Extract
Cuscuta is frequently used in long-term tonic programs,
most commonly to strengthen the uro-genital functions.
It is used to treat premature ejaculation, frequent
urination and leukorrhea as well as aching lower
back, symptoms that often accompany deficient kidney
conditions which cause sexual weakness. Cuscuta
seed is also widely used to nourish the sperm and
marrow and strengthen sinews of the sexual organs.
It is used to increase fertility in both men and
women, and is listed as an aphrodisiac in all traditional
Chinese pharmacopoeias.
•
Ginko Biloba Leaf
For over 5,000 years, Ginkgo has been prescribed
in Chinese herbal medicine. In the last 30 years,
more that 300 studies have given clinical evidence
that Ginkgo prevents and benefits many problems
throughout the entire body. Ginkgo is gaining recognition
as a brain tonic that enhances memory because of
its positive effects on the vascular system, especially
in the cerebellum. Ginkgo improves peripheral circulation,
oxygenation, and increases blood flow to the genitals
to improve sexual function and the power of an erection.
In a recent scientific study, 78% of men with non-medically
caused impotence problems reported significant improvement
- significantly, with no side effects.
Ginkgo
has been shown to be nutritional support for mental
alertness, enhanced vitality level, circulatory
health and blood vessel health. Note that its high
antioxidant activity is valuable for fighting age-related
conditions. Ginkgo may help to counteract the effects
of aging, including mental fatigue and lack of energy.
•
Asian Red Ginseng - Panax Ginseng
Ginseng is traditionally used to overcome general
weakness and deliver extra energy. It also has aphrodisiacal
powers. Used to combat non medically caused impotence,
and premature ejaculation, Ginseng helps normalize
blood pressure while rejuvenating and revitalizing
the body. It also promotes the growth of nerve tissue.
A key ingredient of Ginseng is ginsenoside, which
alters blood flow to the brain and penis and can
build blood and sperm. Russian scientists have reported
and recorded that Ginseng stimulates both physical
and mental activity, enhances athletic performance
and has a positive effect on the sex glands.
•
Saw Palmetto Berry - Fructus Serenoae
Native Americans and early American settlers used
Saw Palmetto to treat problems associated with the
genitals, urinary tract and reproductive system.
This herb is called the "plant catheter"
due to its therapeutic effect on the neck of the
bladder and the prostate in men. Saw Palmetto is
widely used in Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom
and the U.S. for nutritionally benefiting the prostate
and urinary tract. Saw Palmetto is a tonic, and
is one of the few herbal remedies that are considered
to be anabolic -- strengthening and building body
tissues. The Saw Palmetto berries have long held
a reputation as sexual stimulants and aphrodisiacs.
Their largest use today is as a supplement for reducing
enlarged prostate glands, treating urinary tract
problems and for improving body strength.
Saw
Palmetto has shown significant action in treatment
of conditions associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy
(BPH). Saw Palmetto extract works to prevent testosterone
from converting into dihydrotestosterone, the hormone
thought to cause prostrate cells to multiply which
leads to an enlarged prostate.
Saw
Palmetto inhibits androgen and estrogen receptor
activity and may be beneficial for both sexes in
balancing the hormones. Because of its hormonal
effects, Saw Palmetto can aid the thyroid in regulating
sexual development and normalizing activity of those
glands and organs.
•
Muira Pauma Bark Extract
Muria Puama is an herb from a shrub native to Brazil,
otherwise known as "Potency Wood". Both
verbal and written historical records show that
Muria Puama helps with lack of sexual desire and
the difficulty to maintain erection. Muria Puama
is used to restore sexual virility and to treat
genital weakness "of intent", meaning
the strength associated with sexual desire and potency
in men.
The
textbook Specific Indications for Herbs in General
Use, published by the Southwest School of Botanical
Medicine, lists benefits of Muria Puama to these
specific body systems:
Improvement
in reproductive system function, adrenal stress,
cardiovascular system function, central nervous
system activity, renal activity, and thyroid stress.
Recent
clinical studies further validate the potency of
Muria Puama.
•
Catuaba Bark Extract
Catuaba has a long history in herbal medicine as
a male 'strengthener' and aphrodisiac. The Tupi
Indians in Brazil first discovered the qualities
of the Catuaba plant and over the last centuries,
have composed many songs praising its wonders. Indigenous
people and local people have used Catuaba for generations
and it is the most famous of all Brazilian aphrodisiaca
plants. In the state of Minas there is a saying
which goes, "Until a father reaches 60, the
son is his, after that the son is Catuaba's."
According to Dr. Meira Penna, Catuaba "functions
as a stimulant of the nervous system, above all
when one deals with functional impotence of the
male genital organs... it is an innocent aphrodisiac,
used without any ill effects at all."
In
Brazilian herbal medicine today, Catuaba is regarded
as an aphrodisiac with "proven efficacy."
Herbalists and health practitioners in the United
States use Catuaba regularly as a tonic for genital
function, as a central nervous system stimulant,
and for treatment of sexual non medically caused
impotence. According to Michael van Straten, noted
British author and researcher of medicinal plants,
Catuaba is beneficial to both men and women as an
aphrodisiac, but "it is in the area of male
impotence that the most striking results have been
reported" and "there is no evidence of
side effects, even after long-term use."
• Hawthorn Berry - Fructus Crataegi
This phytochemical, with exceptional preventive
capacities, comes from the hawthorn tree. Hawthorn
is rich in bioflavonoids, which relax and dilate
the arteries. These compounds are powerful antioxidants
that help increase the flow of blood and oxygen
to the heart. This reduces the work required by
the heart to circulate blood, and in- turn this
reduces blood pressure and stress to the heart muscle.
The bioflavonoid substances in Hawthorn give strength
to the walls of blood vessels and improve blood
flow to other areas of the body. Components in Hawthorn
have also been shown to lower cholesterol, and the
amount of plaque in arteries.
Officially
approved for pharmaceutical use in Germany, government
studies show the Hawthorn plant to be completely
free of any side effects. European studies have
shown that the Hawthorn botanical increases blood
flow to the heart and brain, protects the heart
from irregular beats, enhances the strength of the
heart's contractions, and mildly lowers blood pressure.
All
these ingredients go to work directly within the
male genitalia, with effects on hormonal levels,
blood flow and the responsive cells of the penis.
