For a healthy young male, sexual performance is – at least in theory – never much of an issue. Hormones raging, the young organism is ready for “action” seemingly around the clock, causing problems with its incessant yearnings rather than its inability to perform.

For older men though – and for an apparently growing segment of youngsters too – ED (Erectile Dysfunction) is indeed a very real problem, one that is viewed by most as affecting their overall quality of life.

As such, for many people, ED is the nemesis that has to be defeated at all cost. A proper approach to the ED issue would obviously be to track down the roots of the problem, which may indeed be psychological, hormonal or even mechanical in nature, and then to address it through the medically recommended methods.

Men on the quest to reclaim their apparently lost masculinity though have never been the most logical and level-headed bunch. The eagerness of the public to buy into various pseudo-scientific solutions has promoted the rise of an entire industry preying off the gullibility of ED-sufferers.

This industry is never shy to offer solutions to every possible masculinity-related problem people may think they have. Charlatans and online snake oil salesmen will readily “solve” issues way above and beyond ED.

They will give people medications and supplements that won’t just defeat their ED, but will also make their penises longer, thicker and their erections more enduring. On top of all that, in that same swoop, they will build muscle, improve bone-density and turn back time on one’s entire metabolism.

If all that sounds too good to be true to you, that’s because it is. The worst of it isn’t though that the male-enhancement industry makes all those promises, but the fact that its claims seem anchored in actual science, and as such, they’re much more likely to convince people.

PriaMax fits wonderfully into the above painted picture. It is a male enhancement compound which – based on its promises – is God’s gift to the aging and hormonally challenged section of the male population.

What exactly is PriaMax?

PriaMax is a supplement targeting males who are unable to attain or to maintain an erection. When I say “targeting” I mean aiming for their pockets and wallets rather than offering them an actual solution.

According to the official PriaMax site, the compound is a “triple intensity” male enhancement solution, which provides “improved libido and sex-drive”(too bad the two are synonyms, and thus this “label” doesn’t just reek of hype, it is grammatically incorrect too), bigger, harder and longer erections, increased staying power, an increase in the size of the organ, and improved sexual confidence.

The approach taken by PriaMax is a two-pronged one, targeting the hormonal aspect of the problem on one hand, by supposedly increasing the amount of free testosterone in the consumer, and increasing nitric oxide production, to directly help with the biochemical processes involved in erection. Let’s not cut ahead of the chase though.

Taking a closer look at the “official” PriaMax website will yield plenty of clues in regards to the true nature of this product. The site consists of classic sales copy which those versed in the art of marketing will immediately recognize as such.

The promotional effort starts off by stating “the problem”. It then goes on to offer a fully exhaustive “solution” for all its facets, plus a handful of added benefits, concluding with a call to action and a number or urgency-inducing twists, such as the “free trial” offer, which supposedly only costs a little under $3. The stocks are obviously also “limited” so those interested shouldn’t waste any time having their bottles rushed.

The homepage is adorned with the logos of a number of high-profile news organizations, such as CNN, CNBC and MensHealth, which have all supposedly covered PriaMax.

Obviously though, none of that is true.  When I searched the Men’s Health website for the term “Priamax” I came up short.

Furthermore, the promotional copy contains several other inaccuracies, fabrications, and – let’s call a spade a spade – lies. It is claimed for instance that the product is “clinically proven” and that it’s “doctor recommended”.

No, it isn’t. There’s absolutely no evidence brought to bear in this regard, simply because there is no evidence. The testing and the paperwork that would have to be done to obtain proper certification and approvals is truly massive, on a scale far exceeding the abilities of the “team” that’s behind the Priamax product.

Where is PriaMax made though and what’s the name of the company that’s making/marketing it? Good questions, none of which are answered in any way on the PriaMax website. Not knowing who sells this product is extremely disturbing indeed, especially when it comes to something buyers will eventually ingest.

The “problem” formulated at the beginning of the homepage promotional copy is misleading as well. It states for instance that 63% of men suffer from what’s known as “small penis syndrome”. While the condition is indeed real, according to webmd.com, the percentage of men who suffer from this problem is 45%. While much smaller than advertised, that number is still high-enough to have brought an entire industry into existence, based on miracle cures and penis lengthening solutions.

Nothing on the PriaMax webpage really holds any water though, and nothing makes PriaMax stand out from the multitude of other similar anti-ED supplements, in any way. One is almost tempted to think that the people pushing these schemes and products simply stick a new label onto their supplement-bottles once their previous scheme is exhausted and debunked.

Fake PriaMax Reviews

If you run a search on PriaMax, you will find that there is no shortage of reviews about the product, pushed almost exclusively by shady operators, fake websites and second-tier scammers, looking to cash in on the hype they themselves create. Some of these fake PriaMax reviews are quite detailed, although when it comes to dissecting the ingredients, they sometimes fail to provide the same list of extracts.

Others shine a light on some of the major holes in the PriaMax narrative, only to end up concluding that the supplement is indeed legitimate. One can’t help but notice that these reviews are – without exception – badly written and rife with glaring grammatical mistakes. Some of them hardly make sense…

Others stray into ridicule. There’s one such piece, probably intended as a fake testimonial, which references Brad Pitt’s use of the same product. Angelina Jolie is quoted in it too, “making” one ridiculous, hair raising and cringe-worthy comment after the other, complete with bad grammar and limited vocabulary.

Obviously, this bit is advertised as having been covered by Fox news, CNN, Yahoo, AOL and Doctor Oz too, among others. In fact, there’s probably an attempt there too, to make it seem like the post itself is hosted by Fox News.

It also has to be noted that some of these reviews are focused on the muscle-building characteristics of PriaMax, and not on the ED-angle. Such reviews don’t shy away from adding certain ingredients to the concoction not confirmed by the official site.

While the hype-system behind the product is indeed well organized and apparently efficient too, the explanations offered in regards to its ingredients and mechanism of action are less so.

PriaMax Ingredients

The list of PriaMax ingredients featured at the official site is a fairly run-of-the-mill one. It is essentially the same as that of every other similar product out there. We have Boron, Saw Palmetto, Horny Goat Weed extract, Tongkat Ail extract, Nettle extract and Orchic substance.

What do these components do though? Are they really likely to deliver any of the promised results? The problem with these allegedly natural compounds is that there is a lot of anecdotal evidence and pseudo-science around them, therefore one cannot summarily dismiss them. Several of the plant-based compounds claimed to be included in the PriaMax formula are indeed known as aphrodisiacs in popular culture, though it has to be pointed out that there are no guarantees the stated extracts are indeed included in the actual product.

Saw Palmetto is known as a more or less efficient inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase, therefore capable of inhibiting the formation of Dihydrotestosterone, a very potent form of testosterone, held responsible for male pattern baldness. The theory is that by blocking the “burning” of testosterone into DHT, Saw Palmetto extract will increase one’s free testosterone levels. While there is anecdotal evidence concerning benefic effects of Saw Palmetto on benign prostate hyperplasia (another DHT-linked disorder), there is little to no solid scientific evidence concerning the mechanisms through which it acts, or its claimed effects.

Boron is a trace element which apparently impacts the way the body deals with magnesium and phosphorus. According to webmd, it is in fact a promoter of estrogen production in women as well as men.  As such, its presence would obviously be counterproductive in the PriaMax formula. There are other sources out there which claim that boron increases serum testosterone levels, so there’s at least a little confusion in this regard.

Horny Goat weed, scientifically known as Epidemium species, is very legit though. Apparently, Icariin, which is the main active compound in the plant-extract, has scientifically been proven to exert effects which may be useful for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction. Most studies, like this one, were done on rats though, so more work is needed in this regard too, although the outlook is indeed bright.

Stinging Nettle (Urtica Dioica), on the other hand, has been shown to adversely impact testosterone production. Like Saw Palmetto, it too seems to work through the inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase. It impedes the formation of DHT, and it is thus useful in the management of benign prostate hyperplasia.

Orchic substance has also been hyped as a testosterone booster, although there are apparently no proper studies supporting this proposition.

Where To Buy Priamax

If you want to buy PriaMax, you’d better hurry, because they’re nearly out of stock (no surprises there). You should really think twice about giving out your credit card information though, because – while the free trial will set you back around $3 – you will be enrolled in a monthly auto-shipping scheme, and you will be forced to pay up. As the sale-making point of this high-pressure marketing scheme, the checkout tops off what essentially amounts to a relatively well put-together scam.

Conclusion

While there might be some scientific substance in the claims regarding the alleged ingredients of this supplement, there are no guarantees whatsoever that the said components are indeed present. Mind you though, even if they are all there, PriaMax will most likely not have any kind of effect on ED.

The high pressure sales tactics and the bold promises cast aside, all you’re left with is a thinly disguised scheme to lift some money off your credit card, with your permission no less. Don’t fall for it.
