Anacyclus pyrethrum Extract (Root) (5:1)
Anacyclus pyrethrum extract, standardized to a 5:1 ratio, is a potent herbal extract traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine for its adaptogenic and aphrodisiac properties. This root extract contains bioactive compounds such as alkylamides and saponins, which have been shown to stimulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, leading to increased testosterone production. Elevated testosterone levels are associated with enhanced libido, improved physical performance, and greater muscle strength. Additionally, Anacyclus pyrethrum extract exhibits neuroprotective and antioxidant properties, supporting cognitive function and reducing oxidative stress. Research also highlights its potential to modulate energy metabolism and improve endurance, making it a valuable ingredient for vitality and physical resilience. A study by Sharma et al. (2011) demonstrated that Anacyclus pyrethrum root extract significantly increased serum testosterone levels in male rats, alongside improvements in sexual behavior and spermatogenesis. The study attributed these effects to the extract’s alkylamide content, which stimulates luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion, thereby enhancing testicular testosterone synthesis. With its multifaceted benefits, Anacyclus pyrethrum extract (5:1) is gaining recognition as a natural solution for boosting hormonal health, physical performance, and overall well-being.

Fenugreek Extract (Trigonella foenum-graecum) (Seed) (50% Saponins)
Fenugreek extract (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is a fragrant herb commonly found in southern Europe, the Mediterranean, and Western Asia. Commonly used as a spice, it offers benefits such as blood sugar lowering, cholesterol support, and improvements in sexual health. Standardized to 50% saponins, these compounds support endocrine and metabolic pathways. Clinical studies show it supports testosterone by stimulating luteinizing hormone (LH) and reducing testosterone conversion to DHT. Benefits include improved strength, muscle mass, libido, and vitality. It also supports glucose metabolism and cardiovascular health through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Mucuna pruriens Extract (Seed) (50% L-Dopa)
Mucuna pruriens extract, standardized to 50% L-Dopa, is known for neurological, hormonal, and physical health benefits. L-Dopa is a precursor to dopamine, supporting mood, motivation, and hormonal balance. It stimulates LH and testosterone production, aiding libido, muscle strength, and vitality. It also improves sperm quality, reduces stress, and supports dopamine levels. A 2010 study showed improved semen quality and reduced stress markers in infertile men. Its antioxidant properties protect sperm and neurons from oxidative damage, making it a powerful supplement for mood and reproductive health.

Spilanthes acmella (Flower) Extract (3.5% Spilanthols)
Spilanthes acmella is a botanical extract known for antioxidant and joint support, mood enhancement, and testosterone support. Scientific studies show it boosts testosterone by stimulating the pituitary gland to release LH. This suggests a potential for enhancing natural testosterone production in humans.

One notable study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that Spilanthes acmella significantly increased testosterone levels in male rats through LH stimulation, suggesting similar effects in humans.

Spilanthes also has adaptogenic properties that help manage stress, protecting against cortisol-related testosterone suppression. Its antioxidant activity protects Leydig cells in the testes, which are vital for testosterone production, especially as men age.

Spilanthes can offer a clinically validated approach to naturally boosting testosterone levels and enhancing male vitality. Whether you’re looking to improve your physical performance, support reproductive health, or maintain hormonal balance, Spilanthes can provide a powerful, research-backed solution for men seeking to optimize their well-being.

3,3’-Diindolylmethane (DIM)
What we typically refer to as “Estrogen,” is in fact a group of three biologically distinct hormones – estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), and estriol (E3), each possessing different activities in different cell, tissue, and receptor types. When experts refer to either the benefits or downfalls of “estrogen," they really mean to (but probably cannot) identify a specific estrogen.

These specific estrogens, in turn, metabolize into even more specific estrogen sub-compounds, such as the 2-hydroxyestrogens (2-OHE’s), 2-methoxyestrogens, 16a-hydroxyestrone (16-OHE1), and 4-hydroxyestrogens (4-OHE’s). As their parent estrogens, these estrogen metabolites exert different effects depending upon the tissue and cell one is examining. In fact, two estrogen metabolites in particular, 16-OHE1 and 2-OHE, have such contrasting cellular activities that 2-OHE is an estrogen antagonist. Yes, that is correct: there is an anti-estrogen, estrogen.
In recent years, so-called “phytonutrients” have become the focus of clinical research, as these natural compounds have shown the ability to increase the ratio of good, estrogen decreasing estrogens (such as 2-OHE), to bad, estrogen increasing estrogens (such as 16-OHE1). One of these phytonutrients, a dietary indole known as indole-3-carbinol (I3C), is the bioactive phytochemical and a presumed modulator of reduced cancer risk in areas with high cruciferous vegetable consumption. Unfortunately, despite its potent antiestrogenic activity, I3C is highly molecularly unstable, and therefore unsuitable for use as a therapeutic agent or dietary supplement.

Luckily, however, I3C readily metabolizes into the secondary indole 3,3’ diindolylmethane, or DIM for short. When used in a supplemental fashion in clinical trials, DIM appears to possess all the positive effects of its parent compound with respect to antiestrogenic action – promoting the metabolism of beneficial estrogens that themselves reduce estrogenic activity.

Aside from its healthy estrogen promoting abilities, DIM also exerts its own direct physiological effects, including:

- Promoting pathways of internal estrogen metabolism that favor the production of anti-estrogen estrogens.
- Adjusting the activity of certain cytochrome enzymes, reducing the activity at the estrogen receptor site.
- Limiting the cell division and growth of certain estrogens.

Despite the bodybuilding community’s single-minded crusade to eliminate estrogen wherever it lies in wait, compounds such as DIM show us that estrogen is a very diverse set of compounds – and that we should actively pursue increasing certain estrogens that have beneficial, and ironically, anti-estrogenic effects.

Eurycoma longifolia Extract (Root) (100:1)
Eurycoma longifolia extract, also known as Tongkat Ali, Malaysian Ginseng, and Longjack, has been used for centuries as an aphrodisiac in medicinal systems local to those regions. Standardized to a 100:1 ratio, this potent botanical known for its adaptogenic and androgen-supporting properties has been widely utilized for enhancing male vitality, physical performance, and overall health. Tongkat Ali works by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, which increases luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, stimulating the production of testosterone. Research has shown that Eurycoma longifolia can help optimize free testosterone by reducing the binding activity of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), making more testosterone biologically available. Studies also suggest benefits for stress reduction by lowering cortisol levels, creating a favorable hormonal balance for improved energy, muscle strength, libido, and endurance. Furthermore, its antioxidant properties protect cells from oxidative damage, supporting reproductive health and mitigating age-related declines in testosterone. Eurycoma longifolia extract (100:1) is a clinically supported natural solution for promoting hormonal balance, enhancing physical performance, and improving overall vitality.
