ExtenZe

ExtenZe, an herbal nutritional supplement, is marketed by manufactured by Dish Direct Incorporated, AKA Maximizer Health Products Incorporated, as a "natural male enhancement" product.http://articles.latimes.com/2006/jul/25/local/me-extenze25 While many of the related product claims are related to penis enlargement, few definitive claims are stated in the product's marketing materials. Promotional efforts instead promise a "better" sexual experience. Independent websites marketing the product do detail more definitive claims including the product's alleged enlargement effects. The enlarging effects are described as temporary, implying that they take effect for the duration of an erection.
