anyway .its not my intent to discourage anyone from trying the vertica , and i hope it works for them .
Just from their own studies ,it showed guys with severe ED ,didn't improve much .
its worth a try though . i would buy one if it could restore lost tissue , promote new growth.that was damaged from the implant . But they honestly said it would have no effect on that .
i do appreciate their honest reply ,and shows they are not a scam outfit .


To my understanding there is only one publically available Vertica study, and its inclusion criteria was mild-to-moderate ED. No severe IIEF-EF participants were included

ED is indeed variable from day to day due in large part to psychogenic factors. Stress, sleep quality, and the season can all impact psychogenic factors.

I’m in my early 30s. I’ve had ED most of my life. I started treatments at 26. The biggest reason why my erectile quality is so variable is due to me juggling dozens of treatments all at once. I cannot tell if most of the treatments are pro or even anti-erectile. Some drugs are indeed both pro and anti-erectile, but dependant upon other physiological conditions. For example, I am confident that doxazosin is pro-erectile for me at high blood pressures, and anti-erectile for me at low blood pressures.

Every day I am very tempted to buy a Vertica. I think about it way more often than I should lol. But knowing the new Vertica study will be out 1-36 months from now is making me wait.


if i remember right, from australia to the philippines ,the cost was about $1,800 US . i was tempted to try it . but weighed that cost against a malleable in india @ $3000 US ,which has immediate results .
but at your age ,i would also go with the vertica or any other promising looking alternative first .
i take losarton for high blood ,because ED is not a side effect due to its type .
but even with all the exercise, i was doing . 3-4 bicycle rides 12 miles each per week , it was still technically high..
then i snapped my leg in a motorcycle accident and had to stop drinking daily , and lo and behold . Every time i got my blood pressure checked at the hospital,l it was
normal . so the daily alcohol was the culprit , i think they were disappointed haha , one less thing they could make a fuss over and charge for it $$$
but what else is available as treatment for ED other than pills and injections ?
Have you tried supplements ? like tonkgat ali ,horny goat weed . l-citrulline ? etc
i was taken those at 62 ish and then tadalifil from india .
i would get good erections . . and when i had a 34 year old filipina stay with me for nearly a month . i used the 'edging " trick , at first i wouldn't cum ,just so i could keep myself in the mood and take advantage of doing her daily . Until she mentioned that i was not orgasming , so to make her feel better i did but cut it off. it has the same effect .and i didn't mind . i would wake up with a boner and show her ," hey babe .look !"haha But , that tadalifil was giving me some unbearable heart burn . a middle of the night , get on my knees in an attempt to help it go down, heartburn . and nothing worked .
i couldn't take that anymore .
But that's not everyone's reaction . Maybe the supplements and certain pills might work for you .
American , retired in the philippines .
tactra malleable 13 mm ,in new delhi India . on april 2024

Thanks for the advice. I’ve taken Losartan a few times before. Now I have Telmisartan at the ready if needed. ARBs are meant to be slightly pro-erectile, so they’re my second-line antihypertensive after doxazosin.

Tongkat Ali is more of a testosterone-booster, which isn’t useful for me as I’m on TRT. Horny goat weed is meant to have a small pde5 inhibiting effect, which doesn’t help me as I’m already on daily tadalafil.

Of the supplements I take, the only that could be described as potentially pro-erectile are citrulline at 5g per day, omega 3 at 2g per day, boron at 5mg per day, vitamin e, and melatonin at 40mg before bed. I take about 15 other supplements, but they’re not likely to have any significant pro-erectile effects.

Fortunately I’ve built a tolerance to the side-effects of pde5is. The only significant side effects I’ve had from pde5is recently has been when I was waiting on my 500000mg bag of tadalafil powder to clear customs. I felt so woozy!

I have always been very uncomfortable with the idea of an implant. I’ve never been able to really articulate why, but after many years I think I now can. The problem I have with implants is that when you’ve recovered, you are at your peak sexual function. You cannot undo the damage caused by the implantation surgery, and you cannot try different treatments going forward. Revisions will be needed, and each revision comes with an exponentially greater risk of complications, which could cause a large and immediate degradation of penile size and sensitivity.

That terrifies me for three reasons:
1: what if I’m not happy with an implant? There’s no going back. There’s not much that can be done to make the implant any better.
2: what if new treatments emerge? I don’t think I could deal with the dread of knowing that one day a new treatment could make me regret the implant.
3: would I be able to have potentially dozens of revisions without serious complications? If not, I’ve got a death sentence between my legs.

So for now im waiting on the new Vertica study. A representative told me 6 weeks ago that the study should drop either later this year, or early 2026.
