Zilex Overview

In addition to bodybuilding supplements, we often review male enhancement supplements at this site. Today’s entry falls into neither category, but we thought it was important nevertheless. Today’s product is called Zilex, and it’s a female enhancement supplement made by a company called Novacare. At least it used to be.

Zilex was marketed as a take as needed sexual enhancement supplement made for women – kind of like Viagra for women, only with herbal ingredients instead of chemical ones.

It claimed that by taking Zilex, a women would feel better, have more energy, feel more sexually charged, and be more sensitive to sexual stimulation. It was available for sale through many third party retailers.

Zilex Ingredients and How They Work

The listed ingredients in the Zilex formula were divided up into complexes. There were the:

• Vitality Complex with aphrodisiacs like Damiana and testosterone boosters like Avena Sativa.
• Nitric Oxide Boosting Complex with L-Arginine and other amino acids.
• SuperGreens Powerblend with Wheatgrass, Spinach, Kelp, Spirulina, and Alfalfa.

Women were instructed to take 1 or 2 Zilexcapsules with a large glass of water about 45 minutes prior to sexual activity.

Zilex Recall

The problem was that Zilex also contained an undisclosed ingredient – a derivative of Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. Sildenafil is a prescription drug and is not allowed to be in over the counter herbal supplements. Because of its potential for side effects and for serious complications, it has to be administered under the guidance of a doctor.

Including undisclosed ingredients in a supplement is a serious offense, and Novacare was apparently doing it with a number of its supplements, marketed to both men and women. At the end of 2010, the FDA conducted a random investigation and found out that this was happening. At that time, Zilex was recalled.

Zilex Pros and Cons

Advantages of Zilex

• It was one of the relatively few sexual enhancement supplements marketed to women.

Disadvantages of Zilex

• It contained undisclosed, potentially dangerous ingredients.
• It’s been recalled.

Where to Buy

Zilex is no longer available.

Conclusion

The reason we included this review of a Zilex, female enhancement supplement is to highlight the fact that women are not exempt from being duped by these supplement companies. That’s why we need to do our due diligence to ensure we’re taking safe, effective supplements.
