Enzyte Wikipedia

Enzyte is a controversial supplement promoted as a "once a day tablet for natural male enhancement." Enzyte is regularly advertised on US television stations featuring an actor "Smiling Bob." Bob, who never stops smiling, apparently because he has taken Enzyte and improved the Human penis size|size of his penis, uses imagery suggestions that taking Enzyte increases the frequency of erections of the male penis or libido while avoiding any explicit claims. The commercials are riddled with symbolic Phallic symbol|phallic imagery, such as golf clubs, remarkably tall glasses of iced tea, and a hose spraying barely a trickle of water (carried by someone who apparently doesn't use Enzyte.)

The effectiveness of Enzyte is in dispute. Some medical professionals advise against taking Enzyte, saying that it can lead to damage. The Center for Science in the Public Interest has urged the Federal Trade Commission to disallow further television advertising for Enzyte due to a lack of proper studies supporting claims. Enzyte maker Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, Inc. is currently facing a class action lawsuit for false advertising.

Despite being a compound of herbs, minerals, and vitamins, Enzyte formerly promoted itself under a fake scientific name Suffragium asotas. Enzyte's makers translate this phrase as "better sex," but it is in fact ungrammatical Latin for "the rake|lecher's helper."http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/drugs/2002-04-18-enzyte.htm
