 |
Introduction & Overview |
Vicerex is a male enhancement supplement advertised on its website as helping men achieve “the biggest, hardest erections in just minutes” that is as fast acting as a prescription drug, without having the same potential side effects. The product contains a blend of natural ingredients and can be ordered online; the company will throw in a free e-book called Different Kinds of Kisses when consumers purchase four packs or more.
Since the number of products currently available for enhancing male sexual health seems to be endless, men might have trouble choosing a product that will be the most effective. We will take a close look at Vicerex and the formula used to see how it compares to others on the market.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
The formula for Vicerex consists of several popular extracts. Tongkat Ali, also known as Eurycoma Longifolia, is often included in male enhancement formulas to boost sexual desire and is also thought to help support healthy testosterone levels. Epimedium is included to enhance sex drive, Tribulus has been shown to increase testosterone production, Ginkgo Biloba might improve circulation and Maca is an aphrodisiac from Peru.
Curiously, the advertisement lists Epimedium twice when describing the ingredients, first referring to the herb as “Horny Goat Weed” and then referring to it as Epimedium. The descriptions are not identical, but generally give the same facts on this herb. We will look more closely at some ingredients below.

| Ingredients in Focus |
Ginkgo Biloba is most commonly added to longevity products, because it is thought to have an impact on memory enhancement and mental clarity. However, some male enhancement formulas include this herb for increased circulation, although it is unclear how effective it is for aiding in sexual function.
Eurycoma Longifolia, also called Tongkat Ali, is a tree native to Southeast Asia that has been used traditionally as an aphrodisiac and is thought to increase sex drive. It is also thought to fight fatigue and increase energy. Many products that contain this herb boast that it can significantly raise testosterone levels, but no human studies support this. Side effects associated with use of this extract are restlessness and insomnia, which could affect some individuals.

| Website |
The website for Vicerex definitely emphasizes sex, making it clear that this product is not intended to work from a strictly clinical standpoint. The site posts images of couples together in sexual poses, as well as a photograph of a “nurse” who looks more like a porn star. The company states that the billing and packaging is discreet, but the website is not, so men looking for information about the product might want to make sure not to look while at work.

| Final Thoughts |
We must say that we find it interesting that the formula for Vicerex contains a blend of herbs believed to support testosterone production, and yet is advertised as a fast-acting formula that is meant to be taken just prior to sex. It does contains some elements to boost the libido, but other products that we have seen with similar formulas are designed to gradually improve testosterone production and support overall male health.
It seems as if men might prefer a formula that is not only fast acting, but will help improve sexual health over time. Some formulas we have seen that have had a lot of positive customer feedback can be taken daily for several months as well as immediately before engaging in sexual encounters; this can help ensure sexual performance will be improved over the long-term.
