Alpha 100K Male Enhancement Single Capsule

What it is

Alpha+ 100K is a herbal dietary supplement sold as one capsule sealed on a single blister card. The capsule is two-toned — a white body with a blue cap — and it sits visible in the blister on the front of the card, under the brand's blue eagle mark and the "100K" designation. The Supplement Facts panel on the back of the card gives one figure and one figure only: a proprietary blend of 1000 mg, with one capsule equalling one serving.

The card is printed in a red, white and blue painted-flag design. The back names the lot code, the expiry line, a "Made in USA" flag badge and the distributor, APL DIST. This is a single-serving format rather than a multi-capsule bottle, which makes it the version people choose when they want to try the formula once rather than keep a supply on the shelf. You can browse the wider range in supplements for men.

What's inside

Everything below is transcribed from the panel on the back of the card. Alpha+ 100K uses a proprietary blend, which means the manufacturer discloses the total weight of the blend — 1000 mg — and the names of what goes into it, but not how much of each ingredient the capsule holds. No per-ingredient milligram figures are printed anywhere on the card, so none are given here.

Saw palmetto is the fruit of a low-growing fan palm native to the south-eastern United States, and it is one of the more familiar botanicals in men's supplement formulas. The NCCIH page on saw palmetto gives general background on the plant and how it has been studied.

Ginseng is a slow-growing root that has been used in traditional Chinese and Korean preparations for centuries and is now among the most widely sold botanicals in the world. The panel prints "Ginseng" without specifying a species; the NCCIH page on Asian ginseng covers the best-known of them.

Yohimbe is bark from a West African evergreen tree. It is the ingredient on this panel that most warrants a look before you buy, and the NCCIH page on yohimbe sets out what is known about it, including its safety notes. Read that page and talk to your own clinician if you take medication of any kind.

Maca is a hardy root crop grown high in the Peruvian Andes, where it is eaten as a food as well as dried and powdered for supplements.

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin found naturally in meat, fish, eggs and dairy, and added to many fortified foods; the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheet on vitamin B12 explains its role in the body. Zinc oxide supplies zinc, an essential mineral covered by the NIH ODS zinc fact sheet. The panel prints no amount and no percent Daily Value for either one, so neither can be quantified from the card.

L-arginine is an amino acid present in everyday protein foods such as nuts, poultry and dairy. Go Ji extract comes from the goji berry, a small orange-red fruit from a shrub grown across northern China. Raspberry and Rubus both appear as entries on the panel; Rubus is the botanical genus raspberries belong to.

Two names on the panel are printed without any botanical identification: Longan Ari and Deng Sen Extract. We list them exactly as the card prints them and do not guess at what plants they stand for, because the packaging does not say.

Supplement Facts

How to use it

The directions printed on the back of the card are: take one capsule one hour before use. The card adds that, for best results, the capsule should be taken one hour apart from any other supplements or medications, and states that it may also be used on a regular basis.

The card sets one firm limit on frequency: do not use more than one capsule every 60 hours. That is a maximum, not a schedule, and it is the manufacturer's own instruction. Storage guidance on the card is to keep the product in a cool, dry place.

Who it's for

This is a dietary supplement for adults 18 and over. The single-card format suits someone who wants to try this particular formula once, or who prefers to buy one at a time rather than commit to a larger pack. It is a herbal blend, not a medicine, and it is not suitable for anyone under 18.

It is not the right choice if you would rather know precisely how much of each botanical you are taking — a proprietary blend by definition does not tell you that. It is also not the right choice if you are taking prescription medication, have a heart condition, or are unsure how yohimbe might interact with something you already take, until you have spoken to a licensed healthcare professional. Other formats and formulas are grouped under male enhancement pills.

Good to know

• The caution printed on the card reads: consult a physician if you have heart problems; stop using immediately if undesirable effects develop; keep out of reach of children; store in a cool and dry place; do not use more than one capsule every 60 hours.
• Yohimbe is an ingredient with well-documented interactions and cautions. Read the NCCIH page linked above and speak to a clinician before use if you take any prescription medication, including nitrates.
• The blend is proprietary, so per-ingredient amounts are not disclosed by the manufacturer and cannot be supplied by us.
• Keep the capsule sealed in its blister until you use it.
• No California Proposition 65 warning is printed on this packaging, so none is reproduced here.

Frequently asked questions

How many capsules come on the card?

One. The Alpha+ 100K blister card holds a single capsule, sealed in a clear blister on the front of the card.

How much of each ingredient is in the capsule?

The card does not say. The Supplement Facts panel discloses a 1000 mg proprietary blend and lists the ingredient names, but prints no individual milligram amounts and no percent Daily Values, so those figures do not exist on the packaging and are not published here.

When is it taken, and how often?

The label directs one capsule one hour before use, taken one hour apart from other supplements or medications, and sets a maximum of one capsule every 60 hours.

Who makes it and where?

The back of the card carries a "Made in USA" flag badge and the line "Distributed By: APL DIST", alongside the lot code APL-001.

Is it suitable for vegetarians?

The card prints no "Other Ingredients" line and makes no vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or halal claim, so the capsule shell material is not disclosed on the packaging and we cannot confirm it either way.
