In light of the somewhat recent news of Enzyte maker's Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals having a lawsuit filed against them, I felt compelled to write this article. Yep, Smiling Bob isn't smiling as much these days.
In case you missed this info, here is what happened. Based on over 1,000 customer complaints, six US states filed suit against Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals and owner Steve Warshak.
The allegations include:
- Deceived customers about the efficacy of its nutritional supplements, which are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
- Failed to inform customers at the outset of a 30-day free-trial period that they would be enrolled in a program involving continuing monthly shipment of product and billing of customers' credit cards.
- Falsely claimed to offer refunds when the terms were "so arduous and impractical that customers were not capable" of receiving them.
- Operated a telemarketing operation without registering with the state as required by law.
Taking that one step further, the Feds confirmed that they've frozen 23-and-a-half million dollars in Warshak's personal accounts.
To put it simply you purchase the product or just sign up for the 1-month trial. What happens afterwards is you automatically get billed once a month. It is very difficult to opt-out of the automatic billing and almost impossible to get any refund on your money.
What concerns me is that Enzyte has been online since October of 2001. Their unethical billing practices have not changed since then and yet it took over 1000 complaints and over 32 million consumer dollars before the US government took action against them. There could, and should be alternative means of stopping unethical business practices, before such repercussions are suffered.
Now with a company this size being more or less uprooted, does that mean less penis enlargement or male enhancement SPAM in our mailboxes? Probably not. For every one male enhancement company that goes down there are 10 that are popping up. And they are all trying to get a piece of the pie.
When you think about something like this happening, it is almost an automatic response to think that because the government got involved that means that the product is horrible. I would beg to disagree. First of all as stated earlier the allegations all point toward unethical business practices, it does mention that the customers were deceived of the efficacy of the product; however that does not imply that the product did not work.
Breaking that train of thought we have to ask ourselves, does it really work then? Our research indicates that there are plenty of men who received the benefits hoped for after/during the usage of this male enhancement product. Was it as effective as advertised? Definitely not. I do not believe that there is one single product or action that a person has to take or to do in order to be happier, be more highly regarded around the office, or at a party. I do not wish to delve into this as this is a topic in itself. However was sexual performance increased? Yes, it was.
Now I also know that there are much better options available then Enzyte. Some of the more popular ones include VigRX, Viacyn, and Virility; also there are methods of male enhancement other than just pills.
Pills:
VigRX has been around since early 2000, their BBB record remains perfect (http://www.fortcollins.bbb.org/showReport.asp?compid=4000675 - 0 complaints to date), and their male enhancement product works very well.
Viacyn has been around since 2002, we have not been able to find any BBB record for them which can also mean that there have been 0 complaints against them. Their product seems to work fairly well too.
Virility has been online since 1996, their BBB record also remains perfect (http://www.bbbsoutheastflorida.org/nis/newsearch2.asp? ID=1&strBCode=06330000&ComID=0633000023003243 - 0 complaints to date), we have not had as much positive response about this penis enlargement product, but there has been some positive response.
Exercises / Jelqing:
Penis exercises, commonly referred to as Jelqing is a very popular, safe, and effective form of male enhancement / penis enlargement. There are several instructional manuals available for purchase; however there are some sources that include it free of charge.
Others:
There are other forms such as surgery, pumps and weights. However, we can not recommend them as they can cause more detriment then good.
So in conclusion yes, Enzyte is down for the count, however they may still get up, and if they do, I would hope that the general public would learn to be careful in dealing with them. We would also hope that you realize that there are much better alternatives to Enzyte available. And finally we should not be expecting to see less penis enlargement SPAM in our email, unless the FCC can actually figure something out.

Erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects the lives of many middle-aged men and their partners. The term erectile dysfunction covers a range of disorders, but usually refers to the inability to obtain an adequate erection for satisfactory sexual activity.
Although erectile dysfunction, formerly called impotence, is more common in men older than 65, it can occur at any age. An occasional episode of erectile dysfunction happens to most men and is normal. As men age, it's also normal to experience changes in erectile function. Erections may take longer to develop, may not be as rigid or may require more direct stimulation to be achieved. Men may also notice that orgasms are less intense, the volume of ejaculate is reduced and recovery time increases between erections. Erectile dysfunction may also be a sign of a physical or emotional problem that requires treatment.
Erectile dysfunction was once a taboo subject, but more men are seeking help. Doctors are gaining a better understanding of what causes erectile dysfunction and are finding new and better treatments.
This Website discusses all about erectile dysfunction, physiology of the normal erection and the pathophysiology, and treatment of ED.
What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis for satisfactory sexual intercourse regardless of the capability of ejaculation. There are various underlying causes, such as diabetes, many of which are medically reversible.
The causes may be physiological or psychological. Psychological impotence can often be helped by almost anything that the patient believes in; there is a very strong placebo effect.
Due to its embarrassing nature and the shame felt by sufferers, the subject was taboo for a long time, and is the subject of many urban legends. Folk remedies have long been advocated, with some being advertised widely since the 1930s. The introduction of perhaps the first pharmacologically effective remedy for impotence, sildenafil (trade name Viagra), in the 1990s caused a wave of public attention, propelled in part by the news-worthiness of stories about it and heavy advertising.
The Latin term impotentia coeundi describes simple inability to insert the penis into the vagina. It is now mostly replaced by more precise terms.
Signs and symptoms:
Erectile dysfunction is characterized by the inability to maintain erection. Normal erections during sleep and in the early morning suggest a psychogenic cause, while loss of these erections may signify underlying disease, often cardiovascular in origin. Other things leading to erectile dysfunction are diabetes mellitus (causing neuropathy) or hypogonadism (decreased testosterone levels due to disease affecting the testicles or the pituitary gland).
Here are some causes of Erectile Dysfunction:
* Arousal: The first step is sexual arousal, which men obtain from the senses of sight, touch, hearing and smell, and from thoughts.
* Nervous system response: The brain communicates the sexual excitation to the body's nervous system, which activates increased blood flow to the penis.
* Blood vessel response:. A relaxing action occurs in the blood vessels that supply the penis, allowing more blood to flow into the shafts that produce the erection.
Physiology of normal erections:
Penile erections involve an integration of complex physiologic processes involving the CNS, peripheral nervous system, and hormonal and vascular systems. Any abnormality involving these systems, whether from medication or disease, has a significant impact on the ability to develop and sustain an erection, ejaculate, and experience orgasm. Tumescence, the vascular filling of the cavernous bodies, relies on neural and hormonal mechanisms operating at various levels of the neural axis. This is unique among visceral functions because it requires central neurological input.
Andersson et al summarized some of the information related to the pathways involved in erectile function. The degree of contraction of corpus cavernosal smooth muscle determines the functional state of the penis. The balance between contraction and relaxation is controlled by central and peripheral factors that involve many transmitters and transmitter systems. At the cellular level, smooth muscle relaxation occurs following the release of acetylcholine from the parasympathetic nerves.
Pathophysiology of erectile dysfunction:
Erectile Dysfunction is essentially a vascular disease. It is often associated with other vascular diseases and conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. Other conditions associated with Erectile Dysfunction include neurologic disorders, endocrinopathies, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and depression. Conditions associated with reduced nerve and endothelium function, such as aging, hypertension, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes, alter the balance between contraction and relaxation factors. These conditions cause circulatory and structural changes in penile tissues, resulting in arterial insufficiency and defective smooth muscle relaxation. In some patients, sexual dysfunction may be the presenting symptom of these disorders.
Treatment:
Sildenafil Citrate is the way to treat Erectile Dysfunction. Generic Viagra contains sildenafil citrate and contains same ingredients like branded drug.
