Men’s supplements are big business. Today we’re taking a look at Triverex, and seeking reviews for anyone who has tried it.
Men’s health is a favorite topic here at Wafflestnoon, and we’ve discussed in great detail many natural solutions to male problems. A newcomer in the field, which has seen a massive advertising push, is Triverex. According to their website, this supplement is “transforming lives.” We, however, like to separate fact from fiction and hype from reality. So let’s take a look at what is behind Triverex a little closer.
Ingredients
According to the official Triverex page, “The proprietary blend of ingredients in Triverex includes a unique form Korean Red Ginseng, a safe ingredient scientifically proven to work in men in seven separate human clinical studies.” They also claim the product contains “5 specialized ingredients” which are: L-Citrulline, Maca, Epimedium, Eurycoma Longifolia and Velvet Bean.
- Korean Red Ginsing – There are some studies that have shown this herb to increase function in some men.
- L-Citrulline – Amino acid produced by the body and also found in foods such as watermelon. Has been shown to increase blood flow. Also used for dementia, muscle weakness, diabetes.
- Maca – This is a staple of many men’s enhancement supplements. Studies have shown improvement in some men.
- Epimedium – Better known as “Horny Goat Weed” and another staple of male supplements.
- Eurycoma Longifolia – Another herb some believe helps in achieving better performance.
- Velvet Bean – Also known as Cowhage. Often used as a topical treatment for skin and muscle pain. Can improve blood flow. A possible treatment for Parkinson’s.
From the list above, it does appear that Triverex contains some ingredients that many have used to boost performance. This leads to the question of how purchasing Triverex compares to buying the ingredients individually.
Cost
The Triverex website pushes a $9.95 free trial. Anytime you see the words “free trial” be very skeptical. This often means you will be automatically signed up for a costlier program. In the case of Triverex, they offer an “introductory” 20-day trial for $9.95 plus $5.99 shipping. Because the website wasn’t clear on how this “trial” worked, I called the Triverex customer service line at 888-399-9577 for clarification. I was told that at the end of my trial period, I would be automatically charged for a 4-month supply, which on the website is $108.79 including shipping. The rep with whom I spoke was helpful and wasn’t pushy, which I found to be a pleasant surprise.
If you were to assemble the ingredients of Triverex individually, you would find most of them for about $10-$12 for a 30-day supply. If we maintain that at least 4 of the active ingredients in Triverex probably work, then we would be looking at $40 a month. At that rate, Triverex seems to be a better deal. That said, this author hasn’t tried three of the main ingredients (Korean Red Ginseng, Maca, and Horny Goat Weed) and didn’t find any of them to be particularly effective.
There are also many other male supplements on the market that you can find at your local health shop, which doesn’t lock you in to a 4-month purchase. Many of these supplements have the ingredients included in Triverex, as well as other herbs and vitamins.
Bottom Line
Triverex probably works for some men. Personally, I would hit a local health shop and try something there without the hassle of a “free trial” hitting my credit card on a deadline.
