Boss Male Energizer Sexual Enhancement Red Pill

What it is

Boss Male Energizer is a herbal dietary supplement for adult men, sold here as one red capsule sealed on a single blister card. The front of the card carries the BOSS name over a crown-and-armchair illustration; the back carries the full Supplement Facts panel, the printed directions, the caution block and the barcode 782631294323. The serving size printed on the panel is one capsule.

The panel names five ingredients with individual amounts — niacin, Korean ginseng root powder, tribulus fruit powder, cinnamon bark powder and ginkgo biloba leaf powder — alongside a 1,000 mg proprietary blend that the label does not break down. The card states that the product is manufactured exclusively for BOSS Distribution of Miami, Florida, and it is printed "Made in the USA". You will find it filed under Supplements for Men.

What's inside

Everything below is transcribed from the Supplement Facts panel on the back of the card. Amounts are per one capsule, which is the whole serving.

Niacin (vitamin B3), 50 mg. Niacin is a water-soluble B vitamin present in ordinary foods such as poultry, fish, brown rice and peanuts. It is the only ingredient on this panel with an established Daily Value, printed here as 250%. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheet on niacin gives general background on the vitamin and on the skin flushing that supplemental amounts commonly produce.

Korean ginseng root powder (Panax ginseng), 250 mg. This is the largest named amount on the panel. Korean ginseng is a slow-growing perennial cultivated in Korea and north-eastern China, where the dried root has been prepared as a tonic for centuries and is still sold whole, sliced or powdered. General background on the plant is available from the NCCIH page on Asian ginseng.

Tribulus fruit powder (Tribulus terrestris), 50 mg. Tribulus is a low, sprawling plant of Mediterranean and South Asian origin, known in some regions as puncture vine for the spiked seed cases it drops. The panel is specific that the fruit is used rather than the leaf or root, and that it is included as a powder.

Cinnamon bark powder (Cinnamomum cassia), 30 mg. This is cassia cinnamon, the same spice sold for cooking — the ground inner bark of an evergreen tree grown across southern China and mainland Southeast Asia. Thirty milligrams is a small culinary-scale amount, roughly a pinch.

Ginkgo biloba leaf powder, 30 mg. Ginkgo comes from a tree species with no close living relatives, widely planted as a street tree because it tolerates pollution well. The leaf is the part used in supplements, and the NCCIH page on ginkgo covers the plant and the cautions attached to it, including its relevance to anyone taking blood thinners.

Proprietary blend, 1,000 mg. This is the single biggest entry on the panel, and the label gives the figure and nothing more: no ingredient names are printed beneath it and no amounts are broken out of it. We transcribe packaging rather than fill gaps in it, so we cannot tell you what that blend contains. If the complete botanical list matters to you, read the five ingredients above as the disclosed portion of the formula. The NIH overview of botanical dietary supplements explains how proprietary blends are labelled generally.

How to use it

The directions printed on the card read: take one capsule 30 minutes prior to sexual activity. The label adds that effects are only active during stimulation, and it sets a firm ceiling immediately below — do not take more than one capsule in any 24 hour period, and use only as directed.

That 24 hour figure is the one number worth remembering, because it is the manufacturer's own limit and it is the only frequency the card gives. The capsule is swallowed whole. The packaging prints no storage instructions and no guidance about food or drink, so none is offered here either.

Who it's for

The card states plainly that you must be at least 18 years of age to use this product, and the packaging is addressed to men throughout. A single-capsule card is the smallest format this brand comes in, which makes it the sensible pick for someone who wants to handle the actual packaging and read the actual panel before committing to anything larger.

It is not for anyone under 18, and the caution block asks you to check with a physician first if you are not sure the product is right for you. The capsule shell is gelatin, so this is not suitable for a vegetarian or vegan diet.

Good to know

The warnings on the card are short, and they are reproduced in full above: one capsule in a 24 hour period, use only as directed, and consult your physician if you are unsure. Nothing further is printed on the packaging.

Herbal ingredients are not inert simply because they are herbal. Ginkgo in particular is flagged in the NCCIH material linked above for people taking anticoagulant medication, and anyone on prescription medicine — nitrates especially — should raise this with a pharmacist or doctor before use rather than after. Keep it away from children, and keep it sealed on its card until you use it.

Frequently asked questions

How many capsules come on this card?

One. This listing is a single red capsule, sealed on one blister card, and that card is what arrives.

No more than one capsule in any 24 hour period. That limit is printed in the caution block on the back of the card, directly beneath the directions.
