If you're looking for a supplement to support male performance, you've probably come across VigRX Plus. It's one of the most well-known names in the space. It's been around for years, it has a published clinical study behind it, and it's sold millions of bottles worldwide.
So I respect VigRX Plus. It's a legitimate product made by a legitimate company.
But I also believe that Wood Max is a more comprehensive formula — one that addresses more of the underlying factors that affect male performance. And I'm going to show you exactly why I believe that, ingredient by ingredient, mechanism by mechanism.
No hype. No trashing the competition. Just an honest comparison so you can make an informed decision.
The Fundamental Difference in Approach
Here's the simplest way to understand the difference between VigRX Plus and Wood Max:
VigRX Plus is primarily focused on two things: supporting blood flow and boosting libido through herbal compounds. That's a reasonable approach, and it may work well for some men.
Wood Max is designed around four distinct mechanisms:
1. Supporting arterial health and the body's natural ability to clear arterial buildup
2. Supporting vasodilation and nitric oxide production
3. Supporting hormonal health, including healthy free testosterone levels
4. Supporting the venous "locks" that help maintain firm performance
In other words, VigRX Plus focuses mainly on blood flow and desire. Wood Max focuses on blood flow, the health of the arteries themselves, hormonal balance, AND the mechanical "locking" system that helps you stay firm.
That's a meaningful difference, especially for men over 30 who may be dealing with more than just a blood flow issue.
The Ingredients: Side by Side
Let's look at what's actually in each formula.
VigRX Plus contains 10 active ingredients plus BioPerine:
Korean Red Ginseng (200mg), Saw Palmetto Berry (200mg), Hawthorn Berry (200mg), Ginkgo Biloba (200mg), Damiana (200mg), Tribulus Terrestris (150mg), Catuaba Bark Extract (100mg), Muira Puama Bark Extract (100mg), Cuscuta Seed Extract (50mg), Epimedium/Horny Goat Weed (30mg), and BioPerine (10mg).
Most of these are traditional herbal aphrodisiacs — plants that have been used historically to support desire and sexual function. They're primarily working through one pathway: supporting blood flow and libido.
Wood Max contains 13 active ingredients across four distinct categories:
For Arterial Health and Plaque Support: Nattokinase (1000 FU's), Serrapeptase (10mg), Vitamin K2 MK7 (500mcg), Niacinamide (500mg), and Berberine (500mg).
For Vasodilation and Nitric Oxide Production: Saffron Extract (100mg), Arginine (500mg), Pycnogenol/Pine Bark Extract (30mg), Lysine (250mg), Acetyl L-Carnitine (500mg), and Nicotinic Acid (25mg).
For Hormonal Health and Free Testosterone: TongKat Ali 100:1 Extract (200mg) and Tribulus Terrestris (500mg).
For Venous Support: Horse Chestnut Extract.
Notice the difference? Wood Max includes ingredients specifically researched for their role in supporting arterial health and the body's natural plaque-clearing processes — something VigRX Plus doesn't address at all. It also includes targeted hormonal support through TongKat Ali and a significantly higher dose of Tribulus Terrestris (500mg in Wood Max compared to 150mg in VigRX Plus).
Why Arterial Health Matters (And Why Most Formulas Ignore It)
This is one of the biggest differences between the two products, and it's worth understanding why it matters.
Many men, especially over 30, develop arterial buildup that they don't even know about. It's not dramatic enough to cause a serious health event, but it can absolutely restrict blood flow enough to affect bedroom performance.
Most male performance supplements — including VigRX Plus — try to improve blood flow through vasodilation. That means they're trying to open up the blood vessels wider. And that can help. But if the arteries themselves have buildup restricting them, vasodilation alone only goes so far. It's like trying to push more water through a pipe that's partially blocked — you can increase the pressure, but the blockage is still there.
Wood Max addresses this with ingredients like Nattokinase, which has been studied for its role in supporting the body's natural ability to maintain clear, healthy arteries. Serrapeptase supports healthy inflammatory response. Vitamin K2 MK7 supports healthy calcium distribution, helping direct calcium to the bones rather than the arterial walls. Niacinamide and Berberine both support healthy blood lipid levels.
This entire category of support is absent from VigRX Plus.
The Testosterone Factor
Here's another area where the two formulas differ significantly.
Starting around age 30, most men's testosterone levels begin to naturally decline — roughly 1% per year. At the same time, estrogen levels often creep upward. This shift can directly affect both desire and the ability to perform.
VigRX Plus contains 150mg of Tribulus Terrestris, which may offer some testosterone support. But the formula doesn't appear to be specifically designed around hormonal optimization.
Wood Max includes 500mg of Tribulus Terrestris — more than three times the amount in VigRX Plus — along with 200mg of TongKat Ali (100:1 extract), which is one of the most well-researched natural compounds for supporting healthy free testosterone levels. A 2012 study by Tambi et al. found that TongKat Ali supplementation supported healthy testosterone levels in 76 men, with participants reporting improvements in drive and performance.
For men whose performance concerns have a hormonal component — which becomes increasingly likely with age — this is an important distinction.
The Comparison Table
Here's a straightforward look at how the two products compare across the factors that matter most:
"But What About Sex Drive?"
You might notice that Wood Max doesn't include traditional libido herbs like Damiana, Muira Puama, Catuaba Bark, or Korean Red Ginseng — all of which are in VigRX Plus. And you might be wondering: doesn't that matter?
It's a fair question. And the answer is: we didn't ignore sex drive. We just didn't try to cram everything into one pill.
At Clubhouse, we believe that each area of male performance deserves its own dedicated, optimized formula — rather than trying to squeeze everything into a single product where every ingredient ends up underdosed and competing for space.
That's why we created Fire — a completely separate formula designed specifically to support sex drive, desire, and recovery time. It contains targeted ingredients at full clinical doses, each chosen specifically for their researched role in supporting male desire and sexual energy.
Think of it this way: VigRX Plus tries to do everything in one bottle. Clubhouse gives each performance factor its own specialist formula. Wood Max handles the physical mechanics — arterial health, blood flow, hormonal support, and venous function. Fire handles the desire and drive side of the equation.
The result? Instead of one product trying to do six things with small doses of everything, you get dedicated formulas doing fewer things exceptionally well, at the doses that actually matter.
Being Fair: Where VigRX Plus Has an Edge
I believe in honesty, so let me give credit where it's due.
VigRX Plus has one notable advantage: it has a published, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study conducted on the complete formula. That 2012 study, published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, examined 78 men over 12 weeks and found improvements in multiple measures of sexual function compared to placebo.
Wood Max does not have a clinical study on the complete formula. What it does have is individual ingredients that have each been studied independently, with research supporting their specific roles. But a full-formula clinical trial is something VigRX Plus can point to that we currently cannot.
I wanted to be upfront about that, because I think you deserve an honest comparison — not a one-sided sales pitch.
That said, having a clinical study on the complete formula doesn't necessarily mean VigRX Plus addresses as many underlying factors as Wood Max does. It simply means the specific combination of ingredients in VigRX Plus has been studied as a unit. The individual ingredients in Wood Max have their own body of research, and the formula addresses more pathways.
A Note on Artificial Dyes
This is a smaller point, but worth mentioning. VigRX Plus contains FD&C Red #40 as an inactive ingredient. This is a synthetic petroleum-derived dye used purely for cosmetic purposes — it has no functional role in the supplement.
In 2025, the FDA announced steps to phase out the use of Red #40 and several other synthetic dyes. While the dye is still technically permitted, many health-conscious consumers prefer to avoid it.
Wood Max does not contain artificial dyes or unnecessary fillers.
So Which One Should You Choose?
If you're a younger man whose performance concerns are primarily related to desire and blood flow, VigRX Plus may work well for you. It's a proven formula with a long track record and a published clinical study.
But if you're looking for a more comprehensive approach — one that supports arterial health, vasodilation, hormonal balance, AND venous function — I believe Wood Max is the stronger choice. Especially if you're over 30, where arterial health and declining testosterone may be contributing factors that a blood-flow-and-libido-only formula simply doesn't address.
And if sex drive is a concern, pairing Wood Max with Fire gives you comprehensive support across every dimension of male sexual performance — something no single product on the market offers.
Wood Max was designed by someone with a unique combination of qualifications: a background in research science AND real-world performance experience. I built this formula because I understand, from both a scientific and practical perspective, what men actually need to perform at their best.
Give it a try. It's backed by our satisfaction guarantee — if it doesn't deliver the results you're looking for, you get every penny back. No questions asked.
