Does anyone know anything about these top-rated supplements for increasing libido/volume of ejaculate?

http://www.yourwebdoc.com/spermvolume.php

I did some research and found the most recurring 3 supplements mentioned were the three in the link above. They all seem to contain combinations of the ingredients mentioned in other threads that help, I just wondered if there was anything more/less effective about these forms and why. It makes sense to take one pill vs. 4 different ones, as these seem geared specifically towards their function. Alot of people seem to dismiss pills labled as sex enhancers due to the ridiculous amount of advertisement for them, but these sound very similar to what has been mentioned. Would it be better to take the working ingredients (zinc, arginine, etc) seperately? Thanks.

Here are the ingredients in the top rated one of the 3, Semenax:

L-ARGININE HCL - Studies show sperm and semen volume doubles, fertility improves (even among men with low sperm counts or poor sperm motility), and sperm health and activity increase with supplementation.

L-LYSINE - Researchers find that this amino acids plus zinc increases sperm produced, stimulates testosterone production, and improves semen quality.

EPIMEDIUM SAGITTATUM - Sometimes called “horny goat weed,” this botanical boosts libido and testosterone levels for greater sperm production.

ZINC OXIDE Has been shown to increase number of sperm and sperm motility by 80% to 200% by aiding testosterone synthesis.

L-CARNITINE This amino acid is found in high concentrations in healthy sperm. Proven to significantly increase the percentage of highly motile sperm.

CATUABA BARK Brazilian herb that strengthens the libido, and nourishes the entire male reproductive system.

PUMPKIN SEED Supports prostate health and hormonal production.

MACA Legendary South American botanical proven to promote libido, potency and energy.

VITAMIN E - Our reproductive and sexual health is regulated by hormones whose metabolism is dependent on nutrients including B vitamins. Erectile function may be helped by using forms of Vitamin E

ZINC ASPARTATE - Zinc is essential for development and proper functioning of the reproductive organs and normal functioning of the prostate gland.

PINE BARK EXTRACT - Pine bark Extract may increase the body’s production of nitric oxide, a chemical involved in male sexual response, it may also be useful in treating erectile dysfunction.

MUIRA PUAMA - This Brazilian herb Muira puama, also referred to as murapuama, is mostly known for its effective help with erectile dysfunction and increasing libido and as an aphrodisiac - but is also an excellent tonic for increasing general well-being and mental tiredness.

HAWTHORNE - contain powerful antioxidants and natural bioflavonoids that support the health of the entire cardiovascular system. This herb can actually help regulate both high and low blood pressure, in addition to slowly breaking down cholesterol and fat deposits in the body.

CRANBERRY EXTRACT - has developed into a simple, non-drug means to reduce or treat urinary tract infections. Cranberry also may be effective for men with enlarged prostates.

TRIBULUS TERRESTRIS - The herb tribulus terrestris shows remarkable qualities in naturally increasing the level of luteinizing hormone levels (LH) thereby improving the manufacture of testosterone in the body - a level of up to 30% is claimed.

AVENA SATIVA EXTRACT - Avena sativa is a botanical extract that has traditionally been used to increase strength, mind, spirit and body. References to the stimulating effects of avena sativa - common name wild oat straw - have been found up to 200 years ago in the German Pharmacopoeia. Modern studies at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality have shown that avena sativa aids sexual arousal.

SARSAPARILLA - Sarsaparilla (smilax ornata) has diuretic and restorative properties and may help in the treatment of infertility, impotence, urinary problems and infertility.

Sounds like a good mix. Why not give it a try and see what happens.

Honestly? I thought so too, I just didn’t know if taking the individual ingredients (specifically just Zinc, Vitamin E and maybe arginine) could be more effective and healthier as you could choose the dose/brand name. Is it possible there are any chemicals or herbs in these pills like semenax that cause or contribute to hairloss? Lastly, can using these supplements do further damage to your sex drive and functionality by creating a dependency on them and therefore weakening your body’s natural ability to naturally perform these functions, sort of in a simliar way to how propecia shuts off the body’s natural testosterone producing abilities?

Tribulus is supposedly a natural Testosterone booster, although there are conflicting reports as to wether it actually works or not: propeciahelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1589

Thus it may increase DHT levels. However, pumpkin seed is a natural DHT inhibitor so that may help somewhat. Regardless I doubt the quantities of the above two ingredients would be significant enough to have much, if any effect on hairloss.

I doubt it, but you should probably cycle any supplements taken just in case… ie 3 weeks on, 1 week off.

Vitamin E has been shown to slow hairloss and increase the health of the existing hair. Check out a product called toco-8. I’m going to add that into my mix as well. You shouldn’t experience any more loss than you already are now.

Tribulus didn’t do much for me, and the evidence is anecdotal at best. There are a multitude of studies that show it has no effect of raising testosterone. But… you can try it out.

Maca I wasn’t able to tolerate because of the horrible stomach cramps it causes. For that reason, I don’t recommend it–some people they say it’s worked well for them.

L-Arginine helps with blood flow (better erections). I do recommend this.

Horny Goat Weed had no effect on me. Tried it for a month, too. Worth a shot, it may work for you.

Zinc Oxide definitely worked well for me. When I quit propecia, I had VERY watery semen. Since supplementing with about 75-100 mg Zinc, my semen has never been thicker and there is a higher volume.

Avena Sativa had no effect on me.
