A note about sex and gender

However, people considering male enhancement pills may wish to talk with their doctor to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
This article discusses what Androzene is, how it works, potential health benefits and risks, and other enhancement alternatives.
Androzene is a male enhancement supplement. The manufacturers state it can boost the following:
- sexual performance
- sexual stamina
- energy
The company also states that its ingredients increase penile blood flow and boost mood.
The supplement comes in pill form. Each bottle contains 90 pills, while a single serving includes 3 tablets.
The company recommends people take 1–3 pills one hour before bed or before any sexual activity.
The main ingredients in Androzene include:
- yohimbine
- guarana seed extract, 22% of which is caffeine
- taurine
- plant extracts, including nettle root and epimedium
The pill bottle states the blend is proprietary, so there is no way of knowing how much of each substance the supplement contains, except yohimbine — the label says that each serving contains 15 milligrams of this ingredient.
No research investigates the effectiveness of Androzene’s proprietary blend. However, studies have investigated whether its ingredients affect male sexual activity.
Yohimbine
Studies looking into yohimbine for male sexual enhancement have mixed results. Most research concludes there is not enough evidence linking the ingredient to improved erectile dysfunction (ED).

Combining yohimbine with prescription medications, such as antidepressants, may have adverse effects. Additionally, there is no consensus on whether it is safe to consume yohimbine while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Individuals should consult with their doctor before taking any nonprescription male enhancement pills.
While some people may find relief with male enhancement supplements, such as Androzene, others might not benefit from them. Some individuals also have concerns about the potential side effects of taking supplements with unspecified proprietary blends.
A person who believes they are experiencing ED may wish to make an appointment with a healthcare professional. A doctor can diagnose and recommend treatments that best suit each individual.
People who have ED have several medical treatment options, including:
- phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, including sildenafil (Viagra)
- testosterone therapy
- vacuum erection devices
- intraurethral therapy
- surgical treatment
- penile implants
Additionally, there is evidence that lifestyle changes may help with ED, including:
- therapy to help with emotional causes such as stress
- treating physical triggers such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease
- quitting smoking
- exercising
- lowering cholesterol
Individuals may wish to make an appointment with a healthcare professional to discuss medical treatment and lifestyle changes before taking nonprescription male enhancement pills.
Supporters of Androzene, a male enhancement pill, say it can help with ED and sexual performance. However, there is little research to confirm the benefits of this type of male enhancement product.
The FDA does not test these products for safety or efficacy. Many male enhancement supplements, including Androzene, contain proprietary blends of ingredients, making it difficult to determine how much of a specific substance is in a single serving.
With this in mind, various health organizations recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before taking any nonprescription male enhancement supplement.
