What it is
Androsurge is a men's dietary supplement from Jacked Factory, sold as a black bottle of 60 veggie capsules. The serving is one capsule, and the label directs two servings a day, so a full bottle covers 30 days of labeled use. Every ingredient on the panel carries its own amount; no proprietary blend groups them into a single combined figure.
The capsules use a hypromellose shell, and the front of the bottle reads 60 veggie capsules. Androsurge sits in our Supplements for Men range, alongside other capsule and tablet formulas sold by the bottle rather than by the single dose.
What's inside
The formula runs to seven listed ingredients: two nutrients with established Daily Values, four botanical extracts, and a black-pepper extract. Here is what each one actually is.
- Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol), 1000 IU. A fat-soluble vitamin the body also makes in skin exposed to sunlight, and one of the few found naturally in oily fish and egg yolks. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheet on vitamin D gives general background on the nutrient itself.
- Zinc (as zinc orotate), 9.5 mg. An essential trace mineral found in oysters, red meat, beans and nuts. Orotate is the salt form used here; the NIH fact sheet on zinc covers the mineral in general terms.
- Grape seed extract, 150 mg, standardized to 95% proanthocyanidins. Made from the seeds of Vitis vinifera — the wine grape — which are a by-product of pressing. Standardizing to 95% proanthocyanidins means the extract is concentrated to a fixed proportion of that compound group rather than sold as raw ground seed.
- DIM (diindolylmethane), 150 mg. A compound formed from indole-3-carbinol, which occurs in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, kale and Brussels sprouts. In supplement form it is produced directly rather than eaten as vegetables.
- Rhodiola root extract, 125 mg, standardized to 3% rosavins and 1% salidroside. Rhodiola rosea is a low-growing arctic plant of cold, high-altitude ground across Scandinavia, Siberia and the mountains of Central Asia, with a long history in Russian and Nordic herbal practice. Rosavins and salidroside are the two marker compounds extracts are usually measured against.
- Eurycoma longifolia root extract, 100 mg. A slender Southeast Asian tree better known as tongkat ali or longjack. Traditionally the root is simmered into a bitter decoction in Malaysia and Indonesia; modern formulas use a dried root extract instead. General background on botanical ingredients of this kind is collected in the NIH's introduction to botanical dietary supplements and in NCCIH's Herbs at a Glance reference.
- BioPerine, 5 mg, from black pepper fruit extract. A standardized piperine extract, and a registered trademark of Sabinsa named on the panel as licensed trademark material. Piperine is the compound that gives black pepper its bite.
Other ingredients are the hypromellose capsule and leucine. Nothing else is listed on the panel.

How to use it
The label directs one capsule with a glass of water, two times per day, 20 minutes before meals. It adds a usage period of 8 to 12 weeks, and instructs users not to exceed the recommended serving. That works out to two capsules daily and a 30-day supply from one bottle.
Storage is straightforward: keep the bottle in a cool, dry place. The label also says not to use the product if the safety seal is broken or missing, so check the seal before opening. The container is marked as recyclable.
Who it's for
Androsurge is sold for adults 18 and over, and the label states plainly that it is not for anyone under 18. It suits someone who prefers a bottle-sized supply over single servings, and who wants each ingredient listed with its own amount rather than pooled into a blend. If you are comparing capsule formulas, the panel above gives the basis for that comparison — amounts, standardization percentages and the full other-ingredients line are all printed on the bottle. You can browse the rest of our men's products if you are weighing up several options side by side.
Good to know
The bottle carries a full warning, and it is worth reading before you buy. It says: check with a qualified healthcare professional before taking this product; do not use if you are pregnant or nursing a baby, under 18 years of age, have any known or suspected medical conditions, and/or if you are taking any prescription or OTC medications. Discontinue use and immediately consult your healthcare professional if you experience any adverse reaction. Use only as directed. Do not exceed the recommended serving. Keep out of the reach of children.
Five of the seven ingredients carry a dagger on the panel, meaning no Daily Value has been established for them — ordinary for botanical extracts, and simply a reflection of the fact that no reference intake has been set. Vitamin D and zinc do carry Daily Values, at 250% and 63% per capsule respectively, so if you already take a multivitamin it is worth adding up the totals.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many capsules are in the bottle?
There are 60 veggie capsules in the bottle. The serving size is one capsule and the label directs two servings a day, which makes one bottle a 30-day supply at the labeled rate.
When should I take it?
The label says to take one capsule with a glass of water twice a day, 20 minutes before meals. It also notes a usage period of 8 to 12 weeks, and tells users not to exceed the recommended serving.
Are the capsules vegetarian?
Yes. The capsule shell is hypromellose, a cellulose derived from plants, and the front of the bottle reads 60 veggie capsules. The panel lists one other non-active ingredient, leucine.
Does the label show how much of each ingredient is in a capsule?
Yes — every ingredient on the panel has its own amount printed beside it, from 150 mg of grape seed extract and DIM down to 5 mg of BioPerine. Nothing is grouped into a proprietary blend, so the figures in the table above are the manufacturer's own.
