A long label is not an advantage. Every ingredient has to justify the space it occupies — through documentation, standardisation and a dose with a rationale.
About the claims on this page. In the European Union, only health claims authorised in the EU register may be used on a food supplement. No such claims exist for the botanical ingredients below, so we make none — we describe only what the ingredient is and how it is standardised. Authorised claims are set out separately, in their authorised wording and with their source.
Root · standardised extract
The pharmacological backbone of the formulation: among the botanicals in this category it offers the best combination of research base, safety profile and standardisation potential. We specify the full Latin name with species author, plant part, extraction ratio, extraction solvent and total ginsenoside content confirmed by an analytical method.
No authorised EU health claim exists for this ingredient, and we make none.
Bark · standardised extract
A concentrated component with a low volume burden — little mass, high procyanidin content. It requires standardisation to polyphenol content and clear identification of which commercial extract is used, including any communication restrictions imposed by holders of proprietary extracts.
No authorised EU health claim exists for this ingredient, and we make none.
Considered for ACTIVE · format dependent
Relevant doses in the literature are measured in grams per dose, not hundreds of milligrams. That is precisely why we decide the format before the formula: such a dose does not physically fit into a hard capsule, so listing these on a capsule would be decoration rather than formulation.
Muira puama and catuaba: they occupy about a third of a capsule, have the weakest research base, an open question of botanical authenticity, and carry no permitted claim. Their only function was the look of the label.
Griffonia / 5-HTP: the serotonergic profile may work against the product's purpose.
Zinc and vitamin B6 occupy a negligible amount of mass and are the only ingredients in the formulation that carry health claims authorised in the EU. We state them in their authorised wording.
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood.Authorised health claim · Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012
Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction.Authorised health claim · Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012
Zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.Authorised health claim · Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012
Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.Authorised health claim · Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012
Vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.Authorised health claim · Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012
Authorised claims may be used only where the product meets the conditions of use prescribed for that claim — here, that it is a source of zinc or of vitamin B6 within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. The final claims matrix will be established with a regulatory adviser once the specification is locked.
