What is Boost?

Boost is a compounded medication combining two active ingredients: tadalafil and DHEA. It is intended only for men 18 years and older for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and/or sexual performance anxiety.

Important: Boost is a compounded medication. Although its ingredients have been FDA-approved for other uses, Boost itself is NOT FDA-approved and has not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality for any use.

• Tadalafil is FDA-approved to treat erectile dysfunction and enlarged prostate symptoms (BPH).
• DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone supplement included to support sexual health and performance.

Hormone Effects (From DHEA)
