Blast XL is an herbal male enhancement supplement marketed not to the millions of men who suffer from erectile dysfunction, but to the millions of men who don’t. These men just want a better, more exciting, more explosive experience, and Blast XL promises to give it to them. Among the many things that this product claims is that you will get a rush of energy and enthusiasm, you’ll ejaculate more than ever, your orgasms will be more intense, you’ll have more control and staying power, and your erection will be bigger and harder than you thought possible.

But lot’s of products are in the market that make similar claims so, does Blast XL work?

We did some digging around the internet.

By looking into the ingredients and how it works, we can see if it really holds up to its bold claims and is worth trying out or if it is just another male enhancement supplement that is all bark and no bite.

Blast XL Ingredients and How They Work

Blast XL is made in the US at an FDA approved facility.

While this might not seem like a big deal, in a largely unregulated industry like supplements, it is a major plus. Many products, especially those made overseas, contain substances that are not listed on the label or do not contain some of what is promised. The active ingredients in Blast XL include:

• Maca Root – an ancient Peruvian aphrodisiac that has been shown to counter the sexual side effects of Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants. It’s also been shown to increase sperm volume.
  
  It is notable that these effects of maca are not the result of any changes in hormone levels and that the herb is completely non-stimulatory.
  
  Unfortunately, this also means that the mechanism by which maca improves sexual performance is not fully understood.
  
  It’s also worth realizing that the majority of promising studies regarding maca come from Peru, where maca just happens to be a major economic player. It would be more reassuring to see research from areas that do not have such a vested interest in how much maca they sell.

• L-Carnitine – an amino acid that has shown promise in improving sperm quality.
  
  Carnitine also improves blood flow by increasing the levels of vasodilating nitrates in your system which could, in theory, improve erections.
  
  Studies on this effect, though, are mixed and inconclusive.

• Pumpkin Seed – improves prostate and overall male reproductive health. Specifically, the high levels of zinc and magnesium are the aspects of the humble pumpkin seed that we’re concerned with here.
  
  Both of these – as well as several other vitamins and minerals found in pumpkin seeds – have been shown to play a role in sperm production and quality.
  
  Zinc also helps to protect, but not necessarily increase – testosterone levels as men age.

• Pygeum Africanum Bark Powder – this herb has been shown in some small studies to increase sperm production and prostate health but more research is needed to be sure.
  
  Oddly, studies have shown that pygeum could have some anti-androgenic effects, meaning that it works against testosterone.
  
  Which is not what we’re looking for here.

• Epimedium Sagittatum Herb Extract – a relative of the famed Horny Goat Weed, this herb increases sex drive and increases nitric oxide to improve blood flow to the penis.There have also been several quality animal studies that have shown potential for increased testosterone production.
  
  This is really the ingredient that creates harder, bigger erections.

Blast XL is to be taken as needed. The recommendation is to take one pill 30 to 60 minutes before having sex.

What I do find a little strange, however, is that the website states that you’ll see results “as early as the first month!” This hints to the fact that the manufacturers do not expect Blast XL to have any immediate, acute results.

Blast XL Pros and Cons

Choosing from among the hundreds of similar products available can be tricky – especially since many of the them have essentially the same ingredients. Weighing the specific pros and cons can help.

Advantages of Blast XL

• The ingredients are all natural.
• You only take as needed.
• There is a free trial offered.

Disadvantages of Blast XL

• We could not find any independent Blast XL reviews from customers.
• The free trial offer activates an automatic shipping program after 14 days unless you return the product.
• There is a 30-day money back guarantee, but it only applies to unopened bottles.

Blast XL Reviews, Complaints, and Opinions

Frankly, I had a really hard time finding any trustworthy reviews of Blast XL on the internet – which sends up red flags for me.

While it is common practice for companies to commission paid reviews, there are usually some independent customers out there with some strong opinions.

In this case, however, I came up with nothing.

In part, this is likely because the product is not available on Amazon which is usually a rich source of honest customer reviews.

Looking at the promotional material, though, the first thing that stands out to me is that I could not find any exact dosages listed for the ingredients.

Although many of the ingredients found in Blast XL have potential to work, they are studied in specific amounts and I cannot be sure if they are present in this product in the correct levels. Which makes me suspicious.

That might seem a little overly-cautious but the truth is that this commonly happens in supplements: Ingredients are included because they look good on the label but the levels are kept well below the recommended dose to keep costs down.

Since Blast XL doesn’t display any details that I could find, I can’t say for sure whether or not this product follows that industry pattern.

I’m also struck by the fact that the vast majority of ingredients in Blast XL are only proven to improve sperm production and/or quality which doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with sex drive or sexual performance.

The only substances in the ingredient list that actually have an impact on sex drive are maca and Horny Goat Weed.

Where to Buy

The only way to purchase Blast XL is through their website, which is cause for concern. There are, however, a few different pricing options. You can buy 3 bottles (a 3-month supply) for $89.95 or 6 bottles for $149.95. Or you can choose a “free-trial” bottle, but we use the term loosely. You’ll pay only shipping at first, but if you don’t call to cancel within 14 days of ordering, you will be billed $69.95 for the bottle already received. And you will continue to receive one bottle per month for that same price of $69.95. So not only is your trial bottle not actually free, but you’ll also be charged a much higher per-bottle price than you would if you avoided the free trial altogether.

Frankly, the company website just feels like a scam.They employ such tactics as a series of pop-ups when you try to leave reminding you that you’re missing out on a “great deal” and making more offers.

The company also heavily promotes their other product, Grow XL, which through the same pricing scheme.

A Glance At Grow XL

It’s worth looking at Grow XL briefly since the company aggressively encourages you to stack both of their products.

The ingredients for Grow XL include L-arginine, Tribulus Terrestris, Citrus Aurantium, guarana, and caffeine.

The last three, citrus aurantium (bitter orange), guarana and caffeine are all stimulants.

Arginine has potential to slightly increase blood flow and tribulus terrestris has been shown to be a fairly potent aphrodisiac.

But I see nothing in this formula that would deliver the inches of growth that Grow XL promises.

Conclusions

Blast XL has several ingredients that could be beneficial to your sex life, but is lacking several others.The material available on the website is also silent about exactly how much of these ingredients are present in Blast XL.

Ultimately, we really don’t see anything special about this product.

For us, there is nothing that makes Blast XL stand out as superior to the hundreds of other nearly identical products available on the market. While this product could have some usefulness, it’s fairly expensive when compared with competitors and we couldn’t find anything to justify the price.

What we do see, though, is a company that isn’t totally honest about it’s product or its practices, that employs a strange and confusing price structure, and tries to entice customers to pay the highest possible per-bottle price under the guise of a “free trial.” It’s clear that this company is designed for the sole purpose of making money.

Which, of course, is the goal of all businesses but this product comes very close to being categorized as a scam.

In fact, a discreet link on their website includes the words “Webmasters, please visit pillwealth.com to make money.” Following that link brings you to a website that very quickly allows you to join what seems to be a pretty lucrative affiliate advertizing program.

The only reason that this is noteworthy is because there is so little customer information, it seems strange that there would be so much content trying to pull in advertisers.

The truth is that there are plenty of products in the male enhancement business that we would recommend you avoid. Blast XL is included on that list, even if it’s simply because the company doesn’t seem entirely trustworthy.

If you can’t trust a company based on their practices, then I think it is fair to say that you should really think twice before deciding to consume something that they have produced.
