Each ingredient and the evidence
Tongkat Ali
A Southeast Asian root (Eurycoma longifolia). Small trials using about 200 mg a day of a standardized extract reported better testosterone levels in men with low levels, and less stress in stressed adults.
Tongkat Ali trial on PubMedHorny Goat Weed
Epimedium's compound icariin blocks the PDE5 enzyme in test tubes and cell studies. No human trial has tested it for erections.
Icariin study on PubMedSaw Palmetto
A palm berry used for urinary symptoms in older men. Early trials were positive, but larger, longer trials found little benefit over placebo.
NCCIH on saw palmettoWild Yam
Contains diosgenin, a plant compound used in labs to make hormones. The human body cannot convert it into testosterone or other hormones by itself.
Wild yam research on PubMedSarsaparilla
A tropical vine root used in traditional tonics. Research is mostly lab work on inflammation; human evidence is minimal.
Sarsaparilla study on PubMedNettle Root
Stinging nettle root is studied for prostate-related urinary symptoms. In the lab, its compounds bind to SHBG, the protein that carries testosterone.
Nettle trial on PubMedBoron
A trace mineral. A one-week study at 10 mg a day found higher free testosterone in healthy men. The tolerable upper limit for adults is 20 mg a day.
