3K Blue Platinum 8400mg 3 Pills Male Enhancement Pack

What this is

3K Blue Platinum 8400mg is a herbal dietary supplement for adult men, supplied as three blue capsules sealed in a single blister card. The card is branded 3K PLATINUM, and the 8400 printed on it is the card total rather than a per-capsule figure: the Supplement Facts panel gives a serving size of one capsule at 2,800 mg, and three capsules come to 8,400 mg. Prime Health Inc. of Seattle, Washington is named on the back as the company the product is manufactured for, and a Made in USA mark sits beside the barcode.

The formula is entirely botanical. No vitamins, minerals or amino acids appear on the panel — ten plant and fungal ingredients, each printed with its own milligram amount rather than folded into a proprietary blend. In a category where the panel is usually a single blend line, that itemisation is worth pointing out, because it means you can read exactly how much of each ingredient the manufacturer states is in a capsule.

What's inside

Two ingredients account for roughly two-thirds of everything the panel itemises. Asian Ginseng leads at 660 mg. It is the root of Panax ginseng, a slow-growing perennial cultivated in Korea and north-eastern China, where roots are commonly lifted after four to six years in the ground; it is among the most widely traded botanicals in the world, and the NCCIH overview of Asian ginseng gives general background on the plant and its traditional uses.

Walnut follows at 560 mg — the ordinary tree nut, and a genuinely unusual thing to find inside a capsule at that weight. If you have a tree-nut allergy, this is the line on the panel to read first.

Cordyceps at 394 mg is a fungus rather than a plant. Wild material grows on insect larvae at high altitude on the Tibetan plateau and has a long history in Chinese and Tibetan kitchen preparations, though most commercial supplement material today is grown on grain substrate in cultivation.

Astragalus at 129 mg is the root of Astragalus membranaceus, sold in northern China as pale, sliced sticks that are simmered in broths and soups; the NCCIH page on astragalus covers the plant in general terms. Dong Quai at 71.4 mg is the root of Angelica sinensis, a member of the same botanical family as celery and carrot, and long enough established in Chinese herbal practice to have picked up the nickname "female ginseng" despite turning up regularly in men's formulas like this one.

The remaining five sit at 26 mg each, and they are the part of the panel most people will not recognise:

• Cherokee Rose — the hip of Rosa laevigata, a climbing white rose native to southern China that naturalised so thoroughly across the American South it became Georgia's state flower.
• Cridium, printed that way on the card and more usually written Cnidium — the small ribbed seed of Cnidium monnieri, another member of the carrot family.
• Flat-Stern Milkvetch, printed that way on the card and more usually written Flat-Stem Milkvetch — the seed of Astragalus complanatus. Note that this is a different species and a different plant part from the astragalus root higher up the panel, so the two lines are not a duplicate.
• Ligustrum — the dark fruit of the glossy privet, Ligustrum lucidum, an evergreen shrub widely planted as hedging.
• Schizandra — the berry of Schisandra chinensis, known in Chinese as the five-flavour berry because the dried fruit is described as sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent at once.

Add the ten printed amounts together and they come to 1,944.4 mg against the 2,800 mg serving size at the top of the panel. The card does not itemise the remaining 855.6 mg and prints no Other Ingredients line, so the capsule shell material and any carrier are not disclosed on the packaging. For general background on how botanical supplements are formulated and labelled, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes a consumer fact sheet on botanical dietary supplements.

Supplement Facts

How to use it

The directions on the card read, in full: "As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule every ten days or as directed by a qualified healthcare professional." That ten-day spacing is the only frequency printed on the packaging, and it is the figure to work from.

Nothing on the card gives an advance timing — there is no printed instruction to take a capsule a set number of minutes or hours ahead of anything — so no such timing is given here. The card's own caution line is equally brief: "Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Do not drink excessively."

No storage instruction is printed either. The capsules stay sealed in the blister until you press one out, which is the practical way to keep the rest of the card intact.

Who it's for

This is a men's herbal supplement for adults 18 and over, and the three-capsule card suits someone buying a small quantity rather than stocking up. Because the printed directions space doses ten days apart, it is not a daily supplement and does not behave like one — a card of three is a small number of servings taken well apart, not a month of morning capsules.

It will not suit everyone. Anyone with a tree-nut allergy should skip it outright on the walnut line alone. Anyone taking prescription medication, particularly nitrates, or managing a heart condition, high blood pressure or diabetes should talk to a clinician before using it. It is not for women, and not for anyone under 18. You can browse the rest of the supplements for men range or the wider male enhancement pills category if a different format or count fits better.

Good to know

• Contains walnut. Walnut is printed on the Supplement Facts panel at 560 mg. The card carries no separate allergen statement, so that ingredient row is the disclosure.
• The panel is itemised, not blended. Every one of the ten ingredients carries its own amount, and the card marks the % Daily Value column with a note that Daily Value is not established for them.
• Not everything in the capsule is listed. The itemised amounts total 1,944.4 mg of a 2,800 mg serving, and no Other Ingredients line appears on the card.
• No Proposition 65 warning is printed anywhere on the packaging.
• Keep out of reach of children, and do not use it alongside another supplement in the same category without checking with a healthcare professional first.
• The NCCIH guidance on dietary and herbal supplements is a reasonable starting point if you want general, non-product-specific reading on herbal products before you buy.

Frequently asked questions

How many capsules are on the card?

Three. 3K Blue Platinum 8400mg is supplied as three blue capsules sealed in one blister card, and that card is what ships.

Where does the 8400 figure come from?

It is the card total, not a single capsule. The Supplement Facts panel states a serving size of one capsule at 2,800 mg; three capsules at 2,800 mg each add up to the 8,400 printed on the front.

Is the formula a proprietary blend?

No. The 3K Platinum panel lists ten botanical ingredients individually with a milligram amount against each one, from Asian Ginseng at 660 mg down to five ingredients at 26 mg apiece. There is no undifferentiated blend line.

Does it contain nuts?

Yes. Walnut appears on the Supplement Facts panel at 560 mg, making it the second-largest itemised ingredient. Anyone with a tree-nut allergy should avoid this product.

How often do the printed directions say to take one?

The card directs one capsule every ten days, or as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. No other frequency, and no advance timing, is printed on the packaging.
