WE ARE THE NUMBER ONE! SEE THE REASONS!

Vimax is a penis enlargement system that promises better size, stamina and "the best sex you've ever had." It's marketed by the manufacturer as a four-part system consisting of the Vimax Extender PRO penis extender, Vimax herbal supplement pills, a Liquid RX Plus supplement that claims to boost sexual performance and lifetime access to a website that provides "penis enhancement exercises."

FDA/DSHEA

Because the pills and Liquid RX Plus components of the Vimax system are classified as natural supplements, they're not regulated as drugs by the FDA. Instead, they're subject to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which states that the manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the supplement in question is safe before it goes to market. Manufacturers are also responsible for ensuring that the product labeling is truthful, so claims that Vimax will give you a larger penis have probably not been evaluated by the FDA.

Herbal Ingredients

The herbal ingredients in the pills component of the Vimax system include horny goat weed, panax ginseng, ginkgo biloba, hawthorne, saw palmetto, tribulus terestris, dodder seed, oat straw extract and cayenne. These herbs are used, in various forms of traditional medicine, to stimulate libido or improve blood circulation, but scientific proof of their efficacy is scanty to non-existent.

Liquid RX Plus

The ingredients in the liquid RX Plus supplement include muira puama, catuaba, betel nut, prickly ash and maca, all in a base of distilled water and ethanol. As with the ingredients in the pills, most of these herbs are believed to increased male potency, libido or sexual function, but there's no scientific proof of their efficacy in this use.

Traction

The Vimax Extender PRO penis extender places the penis under traction; the product website claims that independent clinical trials show an average 24 and 19 percent increase in penis length and girth, respectively. However, there is no reference to where these studies can be verified.

Unusual

The Vimax website presents a few practices that are unusual in the mainstream supplement marketing world. You cannot order the Vimax pills or the Liquid RX Plus on their own through the manufacturer; they are an ordering option only when purchased in conjunction with the Vimax Extender PRO, which as of late 2009 is priced at nearly $300. The Vimax website also appears not to have the usual warning about how supplement marketing claims have not been evaluated by the FDA.
