What's in the 802 mg blend

Fourteen ingredients, listed on the panel in this order: epimedium powder (Epimedium sagittatum, aerial), tribulus extract (Tribulus terrestris L., fruit), catuaba powder (Trichilia catigua, bark), dong quai (Angelica sinensis, root), ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba, leaf), Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng, root), damiana powder (Turnera diffusa, leaf), ashwagandha extract (Withania somnifera, root), ginger (Zingiber officinale, root), maca (Lepidium meyenii, root), muira puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides, root), L-phenylalanine, asparagus extract (Asparagus officinalis, stem) and Chinese smilax (Smilax china, root).

It's a proprietary blend: the panel gives the 802 mg total, not the individual weights. We're not going to guess at them. What the panel does give is the botanical name and the plant part for every plant in it — root, leaf, bark, fruit, aerial, stem — and that detail is worth more than a made-up milligram figure.

Several are herbs people search for by name. Tribulus terrestris is a Mediterranean and South Asian vine. Panax ginseng is the Asian ginseng root. Ashwagandha is a nightshade-family root used in Ayurveda. Maca is a Peruvian root vegetable. Epimedium is a traditional Chinese botanical, damiana a Mexican shrub, and catuaba and muira puama both Brazilian.

The non-herbal part

L-arginine at 100 mg is an amino acid, and the L- form is the one found in food and in the body. L-phenylalanine, also an amino acid, sits inside the blend — the one entry there with no Latin name or plant part.

BioPerine® at 1 mg is a black pepper fruit extract (Piper nigrum, fruit). The panel prints it as 1mg, and that milligram is the whole of it.

The seven vitamins and minerals are in ordinary multivitamin forms — beta-carotene for vitamin A, zinc oxide for zinc, cyanocobalamin for B12. Zinc is the largest at 26 mg, 236% DV.

How it's taken

Two capsules daily with water. Sixty capsules is thirty days, with no timing instruction on the label beyond that. Capsules are hypromellose — plant-derived, no gelatin — on a rice flour base.

Who it's for

Women who want a botanical formula rather than a single herb, and who'd rather see thirteen named plants with their parts specified than a short list. If you've been comparing tribulus, maca, damiana and ashwagandha one at a time, this is the format that holds them together.

How to use it

As a dietary supplement, take two (2) capsules daily with water.

What's in it

Rice Flour, Hypromellose (vegetable capsule), Magnesium Stearate (vegetable), Silicon Dioxide.
