How Safe Is Endowmax?

Endowmax is an herbal supplement for erectile dysfunction in men. Although the makers of Endowmax report that "there are no negative side effects associated with the product when taken as directed," the herbs contained in Endowmax may pose serious health consequences in some patients.

  1. Ingredients

    • The makers of Endowmax list its ingredients as horny goat weed, maca, damiana, l-arginine, tribulus terrestis, Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, jujube dates, muira puama, catuaba bark, xanthoparmelia scabrosa, tongkat ali and cnidium monnier.

    Side Effects

    • L-arginine causes abdominal pain, bloating and gout in some patients. Side effects of horny goat weed include dizziness, vomiting, dry mouth, thirst, nosebleeds, muscle spasms, breathing problems, reports RxList.

    Drug Interactions

    • When taken with blood thinning drugs like warfarin, horny goat weed increases your risk of developing uncontrollable bleeding following an injury or surgery, according to RxList.

    Risks

    • Damiana leaves pose a risk for convulsions in some patients. In 2004, the National Nutritional Foods Association-Midwest Region released a warning explaining that he lichen xanthoparmelia scabrosa, which is found in Endowmax, is toxic and may not be safe for human consumption.

    Considerations

    • If you have a history of hypotension, diabetes, allergies, asthma, cirrhosis, herpes or a recent heart attack, it may not be safe for you to take at least one of the herbs contained in Endowmax, warns RxList.
