GuidesMale Vitality Supplement Guides
Two pieces of reading with nothing to sell. The first walks the botanicals this whole aisle is built from and gives the honest record for each, including the ones that have failed every time they were tested. The second is a scorecard of seven questions you can carry to any bottle in any shop, applied at the end to the product sold here.
Written for the reader who closes the tab without ordering, because that reader is the one a guide is actually for.
The two guides
One about the research, one about the label in your hand.
What the evidence supports across male vitality supplements
Panax ginseng carries a Cochrane review and three trials that each named their dose. Maca has the cleanest dose signal in the category and no hormone change to go with it. Tribulus has been measured against testosterone repeatedly and has not moved it once. Epimedium has an enzyme story and almost no human outcome data. The guide gives each botanical its own record, at the dose the research used.
Seven checks to run on any male vitality label
Are the amounts printed? Does any printed amount reach the dose that was studied? Is the extract standardised to something? Has a laboratory anybody can name looked at the batch? Is there a refund with a human being behind it? Seven questions, five minutes, one label. Then the same seven run over this bottle, with the three failures printed in the same size as the pass.
Why a desk that sells one bottle publishes these
What a retail desk gets out of explaining the category it sells into.
Because a man about to spend $69 on capsules is better served by understanding the aisle than by a twelfth page about one product in it. That is not a selfless argument. A desk that explains the evidence has to live with the evidence afterwards, on every other page it writes.
Living with it here means printing that the review of 27 marketed testosterone boosters reviewed 27 marketed testosterone boosters and found human data supporting a small minority of them, and that the androgen study that found nothing measured androgen production in young men taking tribulus and found none of it had moved. Tribulus is on the bottle this website sells. The guide says so and so does the scorecard.
The scorecard is the sharper of the two, and it is meant to be. It ends by running its own seven questions over HoneyPower in public, and three of them come back no.
Which guide to read first
Four situations, and the page that suits each one.
- If you have never bought one of these before, start with the category guide. It explains what the aisle is actually offering before any brand name appears.
- If you are holding a bottle right now, start with the scorecard. Seven questions, and you can answer most of them off the back of the label.
- If you are comparing two products, run the scorecard over both. A side-by-side of two marketing pages tells you which agency was better paid; a side-by-side of two scorecards tells you something.
- If a symptom arrived on its own, neither guide is the right reading. the AUA and EAU guidelines on low testosterone set out how low testosterone is actually diagnosed, and it is with two morning blood tests rather than a capsule.
