Zinc
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
Inside the body, it functions as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes that regulate hormone production, sperm development, and neurotransmitter balance. Zinc is required for the synthesis of testosterone, and deficiencies are strongly associated with lower hormone levels and reduced fertility. It also influences sperm motility and morphology, which determine how effectively sperm move and fertilize. Beyond reproduction, zinc helps regulate enzymes in the prostate and assists in neurotransmission, linking it to cognitive health as well.†

Tongkat Ali
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
It has been shown to lower cortisol, a hormone that rises under stress and suppresses testosterone activity. By reducing cortisol, more testosterone remains active for energy, strength, and sexual function. In addition, studies show Tongkat Ali can increase sperm concentration and quality, making it important for reproductive health. Its adaptogenic properties also reduce fatigue and enhance stamina, which is why it has been used for centuries as a vitality tonic.†

Maca Root
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
Maca is a nutrient-dense adaptogen that interacts with the hypothalamus and pituitary glands—two brain centers that regulate stress, hormones, and energy. By influencing these systems, Maca helps keep cortisol in check and preserves energy levels during periods of stress. Clinical research indicates that Maca enhances semen volume and sperm motility, boosting fertility potential. It is also linked to improved mood and endurance, making it a dual-benefit root for both reproductive health and stamina.†

L-Arginine
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
Nitric oxide relaxes the smooth muscle lining of blood vessels, causing them to dilate and improve circulation. This mechanism increases blood flow to erectile tissue, which is essential for stronger and longer-lasting erections. The same process enhances oxygen delivery to muscles, aiding stamina and athletic performance.†

Panax Ginseng
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
This enhances circulation, including to erectile tissue, promoting better erectile function. Ginseng is also known as an adaptogen—it reduces the effects of fatigue and increases mental clarity by improving neurotransmitter activity. Together, these actions make it both a performance enhancer and a stress resilience aid.†

Pumpkin Seed
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
Zinc plays a role in testosterone regulation, while antioxidants protect testicular cells from oxidative stress. Phytosterols in pumpkin seed oil are thought to reduce prostate tissue growth, which can ease pressure on the bladder. Clinical trials show pumpkin seed oil may lessen symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), helping with urinary flow and reproductive wellness.†

Oyster Extract
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
Zinc is critical for testosterone production and sperm formation, while taurine contributes to energy metabolism and antioxidant defense. The combination of these nutrients makes oysters a traditional fertility food, with modern studies linking oyster extract to improved testicular and reproductive function.†

Stinging Nettle
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
By reducing SHBG activity, nettle helps keep more testosterone bioavailable. Nettle root also contains phytosterols that have been shown to influence prostate tissue. Human studies indicate it may reduce urinary symptoms linked to prostate enlargement, helping preserve male vitality.†
Research-based evidence
Sarsaparilla
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
These compounds interact with urinary and prostate tissues, which may explain its long history of use in men’s tonics. While modern evidence is limited, traditional use positions Sarsaparilla as a botanical linked to prostate comfort and urinary health.†

Eleuthero
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
By modulating stress hormones, Eleuthero reduces fatigue and improves endurance. Research shows it enhances mental performance under stress, making it valuable for both physical stamina and cognitive resilience.†

Astragalus
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
These compounds reduce cellular stress and help maintain energy metabolism, which promotes resilience during fatigue. Traditionally used as a restorative herb, Astragalus continues to be recognized for its role in long-term vitality.†

Boron
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
Research shows it can lower SHBG, the binding protein that locks away testosterone, thereby leaving more testosterone available for use. It also plays a role in mineral metabolism and neurotransmitter function, which may explain its potential effects on brain activity and mental sharpness.†

Tribulus Terrestris
| Hormonal Balance & Testosterone |
| Fertility & Reproductive Health |
| Circulation & Erectile Function |
| Energy, Stamina & Stress Resilience |
This action relaxes blood vessels and promotes better circulation, contributing to erectile function. While human results on testosterone are mixed, studies have reported improvements in sexual function and arousal, making it a long-standing herb in male performance formulas.†
