So what are the side effects of Longinexx?
“Absolutely zero. A positive side-effect is that, in addition to being significantly bigger, you’ll be more sensitive, enjoying intercourse more and your confidence will be at an all time high.” (Source: FAQ page from Official site of Longinexx).
For the record, I don’t believe the above statement is true. Keep in mind that Longinexx is marketed as dietary supplement, and it’s not regulated heavily by the FDA. In fact, if you examine the official page of Longinexx, you will see the following small print at the bottom: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and are for informational purposes only.”
Now let’s us look at the ingredients list of Longinexx and the associated side effects:
#1. L-Arginine: it seems that about every new male enhancement pills include L-Arginine in their formula, though it’s not really a new breakthrough. Traditionally, L-Arginine supplementation is heavily used by body building to accelerate recovery time and facilitate endurance during training. The acid amino may help to promote blood flow, assist tissue recovery, improve cardiovascular health, decrease blood pressure, and stimulate secretion of HGH (Human Growth Hormone).
The kicker is that most people do not need to take L-arginine supplements because the body usually produces enough (Source: Mayo Clinic). In fact, oral supplement of L-Arginine have zero effects on the blood flow. Overdose of Arginine can lead to unpleasant side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, weakness, and gastric upset. The problem is: we are not sure the amounts of L-Arginine inside a Longinexx pill !
#2. DHEA: early studies show that DHEA may help to improve erectile dysfunction, although results are not conclusive. Its long term safety is not known. In a study published by PubMed, “DHEA: the last elixir”, it’s stated that
“In practice, there is currently no scientific reason to prescribe DHEA for any purpose whatsoever.” (Source)
As it is a hormone, you are advised to consume DHEA with supervision of your health care providers. The potential side effects include: acne, hair loss, high blood pressure, and stomach upset.
#3. Yohimbe: it contains alkaloid called Yohimbine. Yohimbine is ften touted as the herbal alternative for blue pills. According to the advertising claims, it can help to dilate blood vessels in the penis, promote blood flow and enhance erection. However, clinical studies on the effectiveness of Yohimbe exhibit mixed results.
Most experts do not recommend its use due to its narrow therapeutic index. The difference between acceptable dose and dangerous is very small. Overdose of Yohimbine can result in threatening side effects, including insomnia, dizziness, anxiety, increased heart beat and blood pressure. Again, there’s no mention on the official page of Longinexx about the precise amounts of Yohimbe.
In a nutshell, don’t take any male enhancement supplements if you are under 18, or you suffer from serious diabetes, cardiovascular complications and low blood pressure. Before taking any supplement, consult your doctor first!
