Comment on Banital… Great advice, starting with Banning Banital! by Phronk

Great post; thank you for digging into this. Banital has been advertising on local stations here in London Ontario for years. I just heard another ad this morning. I came across your post trying to see if others have tried to get this crap off the air, and I may do some digging of my own to see if there is anything else I can do. Raising awareness that it’s BS certainly helps.

With the warm weather we have had in Vancouver, I was reminded of these suggestions I made last summer. They are as true today.

Thanks for the comment! I hope they aren’t still advertising in Canada. I have made the formal complaint. I will create a link here for where you can complain if you hear the ad yourself. I was told that they are not legally allowed to advertise in Canada. I know that Virgin hasn’t been running their ads recently.
Additionally, don’t take a diet drug to lose weight. They are useless. The more research I do the more clear that becomes. If you want to lose weight, increase your exercising and cut out the baked goods, sugars and deep fried foods. Send me your email and I will send you my chapter on the ‘low hanging fruit’, the foods that you need to cut out of your diet to drop weight.

The only study I am aware of is the test of a similar product to Cyvita when used in conjunction with Viagra. Please include the links to the other studies here so we can analyze them and judge them for what they are. I don’t usually spend time looking into men’s issues, I am only interested in weight loss.
Being that the article just speaks about the other products and the people involved, and actually develops its conclusion and recommendations based upon that, I am pretty sure I didn’t ‘make any stupid statements not based on fact’. You seem awfully passionate about a product you take and are quite aware of the competing products, almost like an owner. I am glad that this subject has engendered such passion in you. As I said, please post the studies here so I, and others, can look at them. Thanks for your comment!

I loved this report! I was considering taking Banital for the “5-25 pounds” I’d ideally love to lose with the minimum amount of effort. I’ve seen the commercials and heard the ads all over the radio (mostly on QMFM at work), but decided to do a little research first. Everything I found had glowing reviews. Then I searched where to find it in Canada and stumbled upon you. I found it to be very informative and well-written. Its safe to say I will not be taking this product; partially out of health concerns, and partially out of moral outrage over the puppy mills. Next time I hear the commercial, I will definitely call the radio station and inform them about all I learned from you. Thank you!

The active ingredients in Cyvita, in the exact doses contained in Cvita have extensive clinical research, including prospective, randomized, double blind clinical trials that support its use as: a treatment for erectile dysfunction; a treatment for low sperm count; a treatment for low sperm motility; a treatment for low sperm morphology; decreasing the recovery phase after resistance training. The active ingredients in Cyvita in the exact doses found in Cyvita were compared in these trials to: testosterone (Cyvita statistically significantly better); Viagra (Cyvita with Viagra statistically better that Viagra alone). You might want to actually start looking at the literature (PubMed) to see what is out there before making stupid statements that are not based on actual facts. I cannot speak for any other products mentioned in this piece or the individuals, but I can speak for Cyvita’s claims and its composition because I was looking for this exact formulation and have been buying the components in it separately for over two years with great results. Cyvita is cheaper and better than what I have been using and contains the actual pure forms of acetyl-l-carnitine and proponyl-l-carnitine from Sigma Tau, its inventor. Compare Cyvita’s 2 grams of each of these powerful agents to any of the competing products.

Nice post, Mark! I never go to McDonald’s, but I saw the ads and was deceived. I thought they were making changes for the better.

“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

It doesn’t make much sense to trust McDonald’s any more. It was a brilliant initial project from a business standpoint, but it’s definitely a problem for worldwide health.

Report them to both the FCC and the FTC. The FCC will probably be the one who does something about it, if anyone does. I love your point about the guys seeing the doctors… that is so true. No one is going to see their doctor about this crap, we hardly see our doctor when we have to and if they were going to see their doctor they would just get Cialis or Viagra, drugs that actually do work… Hilarious! As the cable news shows and the specialty tv shows scramble for audience share and fight for survival, there are going to be so many advertisers that are allowed to sell crap on these shows. The shows need the money and at a certain point they will turn a blind eye to what they show on their station, even if it heavily damages their brand identity. Try complaining to the channels as well, that might have an impact! Take care and thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the great research. I got here after being annoyed by the constant stream of Cyvita ‘longer, stronger, more frequent erections!’ commercials on early morning MSNBC and CNN. Not exactly family friendly. I love how it says to ask your doctor about Cyvita … knowing that 99% of the men watching wouldn’t go to see their doctor if they were having massive chest pains. Very safe comment. I plan on lodging a complaint to both networks about running scam ads and the FTC … or maybe it should be the FCC.
