Various penis enlargement pills and supplements are advertised to help people who are self-conscious about their penis size. Sometimes called male enhancement supplements, many penis enlargement pill manufacturers claim their proprietary formulas of herbs, vitamins, minerals, hormones, and botanicals can enlarge a man’s penis and increase his energy levels and sexual performance by:
According to a 2014 study, the most common ingredients found in penis enlargement pills are yohimbe, maca, horny goat weed, and ginkgo biloba. Let’s go through these ingredients to learn more about their possible benefits, side effects and risks.
Ginkgo biloba extract is one common ingredient in these types of supplements. Some believe the extract helps increase blood flow and sexual function. However, a research from 2020 shows there’s no relationship between this ingredient and sexual function.
Other common herbal ingredients in penis enlargement pills include yohimbine, maca, and horny goat weed. Research from 2014 shows these are also ineffective and could lead to negative health effects, such as mood changes, anxiety, hallucinations, and addictive behaviours.
Another ingredient in some penis enlargement pills is sildenafil, the main active ingredient in erectile dysfunction (ED) medication like Viagra. Sildenafil could be dangerous at high doses, especially for people with heart conditions or people taking medication for blood pressure.
That being said, because these supplements aren’t regulated as drugs, they don’t have to prove their safety or effectiveness. It’s also relatively easy for incorrect ingredient types or amounts to be listed on the packaging, which may make it difficult to know how they’ll affect your health.
Once you get past the marketing hype of penis enlargement pills, you’ll see most of the claims have little to no evidence to support them. If you decide to take them, be sure to talk with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplements to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of these products.
The good news is, there are safer, proven alternatives to increase penis size available in the market. One oft recommended alternative is penile enlargement using dermal fillers.
Dermal penis filler injections use natural-based products already proven to enhance cheeks and chins such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or both, and can be used to increase the thickness (girth) of both the erect and flaccid penis.
During the procedure, the dermal filler is injected directly into the penile shaft. Depending on the clinic, typically two small injection sites with a microcannula are used, offering enhanced safety over multiple sharp needle injections and much less trauma. In one to two weeks, the filler will naturally integrate into the tissue of the penis, revealing smooth results without any lumps or bumps. The patient can expect to see a 10% to 20% increase in thickness and flaccid penis length. The effects are long-lasting, as the dermal filler will be naturally dissolved by the body over one to two years or even longer.
In addition to the potential for penis growth, there are expected benefits for male sexual performance and satisfaction to be gained from dermal filler injections offered at Pollock Clinics:
