PERFORMANCE MAXIMIZER 9X
EPI Nutrition
Overview
The supplement contains a blend of ingredients that individually show promise for performance enhancement, libido, and general well-being. However, the vast majority of these ingredients, except for Epimedium and Eurycoma Longifolia, are included at dosages far below those shown to be effective in clinical research. This widespread underdosing significantly diminishes the product's overall efficacy, making it unlikely to deliver on its implied 'Performance Maximizer' claims.
The Good
Contains Epimedium Extract (Horny Goat Weed) standardized to 40% Icariin at a dose (150mg) potentially effective for some traditional uses and bone health.
Includes Eurycoma Longifolia Extract at an optimal dose (100mg of 100:1 extract), which may support testosterone levels and libido.
The combination of ingredients targets multiple aspects of 'performance' including sexual function, stress management, and energy.
The Bad
Many ingredients are significantly underdosed, limiting efficacy.
Claims of 'Performance Maximizer 9X' are not fully supported by ingredient dosages.
Lack of standardization for several extracts (e.g., Tribulus Terrestris, Panax Ginseng) may lead to inconsistent potency.
