In light of the somewhat recent news of Enzyte makers Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals having a lawsuit filed against them, I felt compelled to write this article. Yep, Smiling Bob isnt smiling as much these days.

In case you missed this info, here is what happened. Based on over 1,000 customer complaints, six US states filed suit against Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals and owner Steve Warshak. The allegations include:

- Deceived customers about the efficacy of its nutritional supplements, which are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

- Failed to inform customers at the outset of a 30-day free-trial period that they would be enrolled in a program involving continuing monthly shipment of product and billing of customers credit cards.

- Falsely claimed to offer refunds when the terms were so arduous and impractical that customers were not capable of receiving them.

- Operated a telemarketing operation without registering with the state as required by law.

Taking that one step further, the Feds confirmed that they've frozen 23-and-a-half million dollars in Warshak's personal accounts.

To put it simply you purchase the product or just sign up for the 1-month trial. What happens afterwards is you automatically get billed once a month. It is very difficult to opt-out of the automatic billing and almost impossible to get any refund on your money.

What concerns me is that Enzyte has been online since October of 2001. Their unethical billing practices have not changed since then and yet it took over 1000 complaints and over 32 million consumer dollars before the US government took action against them. There could, and should be alternative means of stopping unethical business practices, before such repercussions are suffered.

Now with a company this size being more or less uprooted, does that mean less penis enlargement or male enhancement SPAM in our mailboxes? Probably not. For every one male enhancement company that goes down there are 10 that are popping up. And they are all trying to get a piece of the pie.

When you think about something like this happening, it is almost an automatic response to think that because the government got involved that means that the product is horrible. I would beg to disagree. First of all as stated earlier the allegations all point toward unethical business practices, it does mention that the customers were deceived of the efficacy of the product; however that does not imply that the product did not work.

Breaking that train of thought we have to ask ourselves, does it really work then? Our research indicates that there are plenty of men who received the benefits hoped for after/during the usage of this male enhancement product. Was it as effective as advertised? Definitely not. I do not believe that there is one single product or action that a person has to take or to do in order to be happier, be more highly regarded around the office, or at a party. I do not wish to delve into this as this is a topic in itself. However was sexual performance increased? Yes, it was.

Now I also know that there are much better options available then Enzyte. Some of the more popular ones include VigRX, Viacyn, and Virility; also there are methods of male enhancement other than just pills.

Pills:
VigRX has been around since early 2000, their BBB record remains perfect (http://www.fortcollins.bbb.org/showReport.asp?compid=4000675 - 0 complaints to date), and their male enhancement product works very well.

Viacyn has been around since 2002, we have not been able to find any BBB record for them which can also mean that there have been 0 complaints against them. Their product seems to work fairly well too.

Virility has been online since 1996, their BBB record also remains perfect (http://www.bbbsoutheastflorida.org/nis/newsearch2.asp?
ID=1&strBCode=06330000&ComID=0633000023003243 - 0 complaints to date), we have not had as much positive response about this penis enlargement product, but there has been some positive response.

Exercises / Jelqing:
Penis exercises, commonly referred to as Jelqing is a very popular, safe, and effective form of male enhancement / penis enlargement. There are several instructional manuals available for purchase; however there are some sources that include it free of charge.

Others:
There are other forms such as surgery, pumps and weights. However, we can not recommend them as they can cause more detriment then good.

So in conclusion yes, Enzyte is down for the count, however they may still get up, and if they do, I would hope that the general public would learn to be careful in dealing with them. We would also hope that you realize that there are much better alternatives to Enzyte available. And finally we should not be expecting to see less penis enlargement SPAM in our email, unless the FCC can actually figure something out.
