Hercules 1800 Male Enhancement Blue Pill

What it is

Hercules 1800 Male Enhancement Blue Pill is a herbal dietary supplement for adult men, supplied as one blue capsule sealed on a single blister card. The back of the card carries a Supplement Facts panel headed "Dietary Supplement", listing a proprietary herbal blend of 1,800 mg per capsule drawn from eight named plant and plant-derived components. The serving size printed on the panel is one capsule, and the panel states the product is made in the USA.

The capsule itself is blue, with a solid blue body under a lighter translucent cap, and is visible through the window in the front of the card. The 1,800 mg figure in the product name is the total weight of the proprietary blend as printed on the panel — it is a blend weight, not a count and not a potency rating.

What's inside

The panel gives one number for the blend as a whole — 1,800 mg — and then names its components without assigning an individual milligram amount to any of them. That is a common way of printing a proprietary formula, and it means the proportions are not disclosed by the manufacturer. Here is what those eight components are, in the order the panel lists them.

• Tribulus — a low, spreading plant (Tribulus terrestris) that grows in warm, dry regions across southern Europe, Africa and Asia. Its dried fruit and leaf have a long history in both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese preparations, and it is one of the more frequently encountered botanicals in men's supplement blends.
• Cordyceps militaris — a bright orange fungus, cultivated commercially on grain rather than gathered wild. It is a relative of the better-known Cordyceps sinensis of the Tibetan plateau, and the cultivated form is what most supplement material is grown from today.
• Ginger root — the rhizome of Zingiber officinale, the same ingredient sold as a culinary spice. It has been traded out of Southeast Asia for well over two thousand years and is one of the most widely consumed botanicals in the world.
• Cnidium and Monnier extract — the panel prints these as two separate lines. Cnidium monnieri is an umbellifer, a relative of carrot and parsley, whose small dried fruit has been a long-standing item in traditional Chinese herbal practice.
• Theobromine — a naturally occurring compound found in cacao, and the reason chocolate carries a mild bitter edge. It is chemically a close cousin of caffeine and belongs to the same family of plant alkaloids.
• Rhodiola — a hardy flowering plant of cold, high-altitude and Arctic regions, including Scandinavia, Siberia and the mountains of central Asia. Its root has been used in Russian and Scandinavian folk traditions for centuries.
• Avena sativa extract — extract of the common oat, the same cereal grain grown for oatmeal. Supplement material is usually drawn from the green oat straw rather than from the ripened grain.

For neutral background on how botanical supplement ingredients are studied and described, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes an overview of botanical dietary supplements, and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health maintains a plain-language reference at Herbs at a Glance. Both are general references about the ingredients themselves; neither relates to this product.

Supplement Facts

How to use it

The directions printed on the card read: take one capsule 45 minutes prior to sexual activity. The card's caution line sets a maximum frequency of one capsule in four days — that is a ceiling on how often it may be taken, not a length of time the capsule is meant to cover, and it should not be exceeded.

The card also states the product is not for use by anyone under 18. Store it somewhere cool and dry, and keep the capsule in its sealed blister until you intend to use it.

Who it's for

This is a single-capsule item aimed at adults 18 and over who want to try one before committing to a larger quantity. Because it is one capsule on one card, it suits a first purchase or an occasional item to keep on hand.

It is not appropriate for everyone — the card's own warning excludes several groups outright. Anyone taking prescription medication should take that warning as the starting point for a conversation with their own clinician, not as a checklist to work around.

Good to know

The warning printed on the back of the card reads, in substance: use only as directed; do not take this product if you have a serious medical condition or take nitrates, nitroglycerin, or prescription medications; do not use if you have heart problems or high blood pressure; consult with your physician if you have any of these conditions.

• Adults 18 and over only. Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not combine with nitrates or nitroglycerin.
• Speak to a licensed healthcare professional before use if you take any prescription medication, or have a heart condition or high blood pressure.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience an unwanted reaction.
• The proportions within the proprietary blend are not disclosed on the panel, which is worth knowing if you have a known sensitivity to any of the named components.
• The capsule contains an artificial colour, listed on the panel as FD&C Blue #40.

For general guidance on choosing and using supplements safely, the NIH publishes Dietary Supplements: What You Need to Know, and NCCIH covers the same ground from a safety angle in its overview of dietary and herbal supplements. Neither source is connected to this product or this store.

Frequently asked questions

How many capsules come on the card?

One. Hercules 1800 Male Enhancement Blue Pill is a single blue capsule sealed on one blister card, and the serving size printed on the panel is one capsule.

What does the "1800" refer to?

The 1,800 mg total weight of the proprietary herbal blend in the capsule, as printed on the Supplement Facts panel. It is a blend weight, not a capsule count.

Does the panel say how much of each herb is in the blend?

No. The panel prints one combined figure of 1,800 mg and then names the eight components beneath it without individual amounts. The manufacturer does not disclose the proportions, and this listing does not estimate them.

How often can it be taken?

The card sets a maximum of one capsule in any four-day period. That figure is an upper limit on frequency, and the card's instruction is not to exceed it.

Is there anything artificial in the capsule?

Yes. The other ingredients listed on the panel are FD&C Blue #40, titanium dioxide, cellulose, magnesium stearate and silica — the colouring, binder and flow agents that form the capsule itself rather than part of the herbal blend.
