Gold Shot Male Sexual Enhancement 2oz Liquid

What it is

Liquid Gold is a berry-flavored herbal liquid supplement for adults, sold as one dark amber bottle with a white ribbed screw cap. The front of the bottle is branded Liquid Gold in black on gold and marked Very Berry Flavor. It is taken as a drink rather than a capsule, and the serving size printed on the Supplement Facts panel is half a bottle, so one bottle holds two servings.

The bottle is distributed by Pipeworld, CA., and the side panel is printed "Made in USA." The formula is declared on the back as a single proprietary blend of botanical extracts, with no per-ingredient amounts given.

What's inside

The Supplement Facts panel declares one proprietary blend and names sixteen entries in it. No milligram figures appear anywhere on the bottle, so what follows describes what each named botanical is — nothing more can honestly be said about quantity. Spellings below are reproduced from the panel.

• Go Ji Extract — goji, also called wolfberry: the small orange-red fruit of a shrub cultivated across northern China and long eaten dried.
• Deng Sen Extract — a bellflower-family root, more usually written dang shen, traditionally simmered into Chinese broths and tonics.
• Atractylodes — an aromatic rhizome from a daisy-family plant, a long-standing component of traditional Chinese formulas.
• Cinnamon Bark — the familiar kitchen spice, harvested as the inner bark of cinnamon trees.
• Cornus — the dogwood genus; in herbal blends this normally refers to the dried fruit sold as cornelian cherry.
• Cuscuta — dodder, a climbing vine whose seed is the part normally used.
• Dang Gui — the root of a plant in the angelica family, among the most widely used botanicals in Chinese herbal practice.
• Licorice — the sweet root of Glycyrrhiza, used both as a flavoring and as a traditional herb. The NCCIH page on licorice root gives general background, including notes on who should be cautious with it.
• Condonopsis — the bellflower root genus, more commonly catalogued as Codonopsis.
• Cordyceps Sinensis — a fungus native to high-altitude regions of the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau, now supplied mostly by cultivation rather than collection.
• Rubus — the bramble genus, covering raspberries and blackberries. The panel does not specify a species or a plant part.
• Panax Ginseng — Asian ginseng root, one of the most studied botanicals in the world. The NCCIH overview of Asian ginseng summarizes what is and is not known about it.
• Pueraria Lobata — kudzu, a fast-growing climbing vine whose starchy root is the traditional article of commerce.
• Dismutase and Superoxide Dismutase — an enzyme found naturally in living cells, named at two points in the printed blend.
• Proprietary Formula — printed as an entry within the blend, with nothing further specified.

For general grounding on how botanical supplements are put together and regulated in the United States, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes a plain-English introduction to botanical dietary supplements.

Supplement Facts

Transcribed from the panel printed on the bottle. The panel carries an Amount column and a % Daily Value column, but leaves both blank for every entry — the blend is declared by name only.

How to use it

The directions printed on the bottle are to drink half a bottle one hour before sexual activity, and to drink at least 8 oz of water with it. The label adds that it may also be used on a regular basis, and that for best results it should be taken one hour apart from any other supplements or medications.

Because a serving is half a bottle, an unopened bottle holds two servings. The closure is a plain screw cap rather than a single-use foil seal, so a part-used bottle can be closed again. The label's own limit is worth repeating in full: do not drink more than one bottle every 72 hours.

Storage instructions on the bottle are to keep it in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children.

Who it's for

This is an adult product, 18 and over, sold in the men's supplement category, and the directions on the bottle refer to use before sexual activity. It suits someone who would rather drink a flavored liquid than swallow a capsule — the Very Berry flavoring exists for exactly that reason. Because one bottle is two servings, it also suits someone who would prefer to start with a smaller amount.

It is not suitable for anyone under 18, and the bottle itself directs anyone with heart problems to speak to a physician before using it. If you are comparing formats, our supplements for men section carries both liquids and capsules, and there is a wider selection under male enhancement pills.

Good to know

The cautions below are transcribed from the bottle's own caution block, not written by us:

• Consult a physician if you have heart problems.
• Stop using immediately if undesirable effects develop.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store this product in a cool and dry place.
• Do not drink more than one bottle every 72 hours.

Herbal blends can interact with prescription medication. Licorice in particular has documented interactions and is not appropriate for everyone, which is one reason the NCCIH page linked above is worth reading before you buy. Speak to a pharmacist or physician if you take anything regularly, and do not combine this with nitrates.

No California Proposition 65 warning is printed on this bottle, so none is reproduced here. No allergen statement is printed on it either.

Orders ship in plain packaging that names neither the contents nor the store, and go out the next business day; faster services can be selected at checkout. Product photographs are illustrative. Packaging, lot codes and printed dates vary between shipments. Our returns policy covers what to do if this turns out not to be the right item for you.

Frequently asked questions

How is it taken?

Liquid Gold is drunk, not swallowed as a capsule. It arrives as a liquid in a small dark amber bottle with a screw cap, and the label directs drinking half a bottle one hour ahead, with at least 8 oz of water.

How much of the bottle is one serving?

Half a bottle is one serving according to the Supplement Facts panel, which makes an unopened bottle two servings.

What flavor is it?

Very Berry, printed on the front of the bottle. The liquid itself is dark brown, close to black seen through the glass.

How much of each herb is in it?

The bottle does not say. The panel declares one proprietary blend and lists sixteen entries by name, but leaves the Amount and % Daily Value columns blank throughout, so no milligram figure for any single ingredient can be given here.
