What is Ready Man?

By all accounts, Ready Man is doing quite well for itself using this model. At the time of this writing, they have almost 900 customer reviews, and they’ve been declared a top seller by Amazon. Now, it is possible to cheat with Amazon reviews, and we’ll talk more about that later, but on the face of it, things are looking pretty good for this product. So let’s dive right in and see what this stuff is all about.

Ready Man Benefits

The product information on Ready Man is short and sweet. This is a fast acting male enhancement supplement, which means you take a pill only as needed, shortly before engaging in sexual activity. Within 2-3 hours after taking Ready Man, you’ll be ready to achieve a stronger, wider, harder erection, along with increased libido and stamina. You need to take only one pill at a time, and the effects of that pill can last up to 2 days.

Ready Man Ingredients

So far, Ready Man sounds perfect – 1 pill only when you need it, and it makes your hard erection last and last. Of course, claims are claims. Let’s take a look at the formula for a better picture of what you can realistically expect.

The Ready Man formula is a 750 mg proprietary blend containing Goji Berry Fruit, Ginseng, Maca Root, and Horny Goat Weed. Here’s what we know about each of these:

• Goji Berry (Lycium Barbarum) is known as a “superfood” and has antioxidant properties which can help increase your energy and overall sense of well-being. It is also thought to have a positive effect on male fertility. Some people believe it can help increase natural testosterone, but there are no studies indicating this to be the case.
• Ginseng which is thought to increase libido and sexual energy in both women and men. It should be noted that a typical dose is 900 mg taken 2 or 3 times a day, much much higher than what is potentially found within the 750 mg proprietary blend that makes up Ready Man.

• Maca Root which is known to be a powerful aphrodisiac for both women and men. There is a ton of anecdotal evidence for Maca’s effectiveness, but very little scientific proof. A few studies have shown a small increase in libido due to Maca, but the real benefit might be in increasing sperm count. (LINK TO http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/guide/the-truth-about-maca)
• Horny Goat Weed (aks Epimedium Sagittatum) is another herbal aphrodisiac. This one also improves blood flow and may potentially inhibit PDE5 (the enzyme that prevents erections), so it could have a real effect on your erections.

My initial read on the ingredients is that they’re a decent start, with two serious limitations.

Firstly, there are lots of important ingredients missing. Most fast acting male enhancement supplements use L-Arginine, Yohimbe, or both to really affect blood flow in a significant and immediate way. Ready Man has neither. I would also prefer to see some more herbal aphrodisiacs to boost libido.

Secondly, the 750 mg proprietary blend just isn’t big enough. What it means is that when all ingredients and amounts are added up, the total is 750 mg. That leaves very little room for any of the ingredients to be effective. As I mentioned above, a typical effective daily dose of Ginseng is 1800mg – 2700 mg. This doesn’t come close to fitting into the 750 mg Ready Mas serving, and even if it did, it wouldn’t leave room for anything else.

Ready Man Reviews on Amazon

Amazon products mean Amazon reviews, and that’s a good thing, but there are a few things to take note of when looking through them. The vast majority of product reviews on Amazon.com are real – from real customers sharing their real experience and opinions. But there are some that aren’t real. Companies will pay people to go in and post positive reviews. In addition to causing people to see glowing praise that isn’t even true, this does a couple things:

It drives up the total number of reviews, making the product appear more popular than it actually is.

It skews the review percentages toward the positive, making the product appear more well liked than it may actually be.

We have no idea if Ready Man engages in this practice. For all we know, every single one of the 900 Ready Man reviews comes from a real Ready Man user. But there are a couple reasons to be suspicious in this case.

There’s a website that analyzes Amazon product reviews for the express purpose of determining whether or not the bulk of them is real. They use a program that looks for certain words and phrases, as well as timing patterns, to try to make a determination as to their validity. This website came back with an iffy report on Ready Man. They gave it a “C” rating based on the fact that 24% of its reviews appeared to be inauthentic.

Again, we don’t know if this is true, but it’s still important to point out that this happens all the time and it may or may not be happening here. With that said, let’s take a look at some of the reviews.

Ready Man Customer Feedback

The vast majority (80%) of Ready Man reviews received 5 stars, bringing the overall rating up to a very respectable 4.4 out of 5 stars.

Here are some examples of those 5 star reviews:

They all talk very specifically about their lives – their erectile issues, their wives and girlfriends, how their erectile issues affected their wives and girlfriends, and they say Ready Man worked for them. But they don’t get specific about just how Ready Man worked

10% of Ready Man reviews received 1 star. That’s almost 90 one-star reviews. This is significant because if some of the reviews turn out not to be real, that 10% turns out to be much higher. Here are some examples:

In the case of the one star reviews, they fall into one of two categories. Either it just doesn’t work, or it caused negative side effects. Let’s take a minute now to talk about those side effects.

Ready Man Side Effects

The listed ingredients in Ready Man are very unlikely to cause significant side effects. This is not to say side effects would be impossible. People react differently to all sorts of ingredients – natural or otherwise, so no supplement can be said to be completely side effect-free. But the ingredients in Ready Man, especially at the amounts they’re likely found in, shouldn’t cause anything too serious.

But if you look at the reviews, you see several mentions of headaches, quite a few of nausea, and several that talk about blurred vision, red burning skin, and blood pressure spikes. These are more serious side effects than we’re used to seeing with natural herbal supplements.

Headaches and blurred vision, or blue vision, are common side effects caused by the prescription drug Viagra. People with heart and/or blood pressure conditions, and those taking medications for such issues, are prohibited from taking Viagra because of the potential for dangerously negative effects in those areas. This is not proof, but it is an indication that there may be some ingredients in Ready Man that are not mentioned on the label.

Ready Man wouldn’t be the first supplement to do this. Male Enhancement supplements are recalled by the FDA all the time when it’s discovered that they contain undisclosed ingredients.  It’s usually a variation of Sildenafil – the active ingredient in Viagra.

Some folks may see this as a good thing – effectively getting Viagra without a prescription and for way cheaper than you’d pay a pharmacist. But the problem is that Sildenafil can be very dangerous for certain users. That’s why a prescription is required in the first place. So while it may be fine for a perfectly healthy guy, it may be deadly for someone who has a condition he may not know about. Or worse, he could be using what he thinks is an herbal supplement precisely because he knows his condition prevents him from using Viagra. But little does he know, he is using Viagra.

I don’t know if Ready Man contains Sildenafil or something like it. Only time will tell. But there are signs, so if you have high blood pressure or take medication for heart disease, I would recommend you steer clear of this stuff.

Purchasing Ready Man

If you want to give ready man a try, head over to Amazon.com. A single bottle contains 10 pills and costs $26.99. Though it may seem like a big price for only 10 pills, it’s really not bad. You only need to take one pill at a time, and only when you’re planning to have sex, so for many guys, this bottle will last a month or more.

There is a money back guarantee mentioned. You would need to take that up with the seller if returning it was something you wanted to do.

Pros and Cons

Advantages of Ready Man

• You only need to take one pill at a time, and only when you plan to engage in sexual activity.
• You can order it through Amazon.com
• There are tons of favorable Ready Man reviews from customers.

Disadvantages of Ready Man

• The formula is proprietary so it’s not clear how much of each ingredient is used. Even so, the total of 750mg for the whole formula, doesn’t leave room for effective doses of the listed ingredients.
• The listed ingredients don’t match the results talked about in the reviews.
• Some reviewers list pretty severe side effects.

The Bottom Line

To be clear, I haven’t used Ready Man myself and I haven’t had the formula tested. But there are a few red flags that prevent me from recommending it in good faith. 900 is a lot of Amazon reviews, and the fact that so many of them can be flagged as suspicious is concerning. Then if you take a look at the negative reviews, they bring up yet another concern.

It’s difficult to find an all natural fast acting supplement that works. When you do find one, more often than not, it turns out not be all natural after all. So when reviewers talk about the same side effect you’d get from using Viagra, that has to raise at least a little suspicion. And for us, it does.

Ready Man may indeed be all natural and perfectly safe. But if it truly contains only the ingredients listed, then I’d find it hard to believe it’s as effective as the reviewers are saying it is.

Ultimately, you want your products to be both safe and effective, and I don’t think Ready Man achieves that.
