Hermojo Advance Pro Female Enhancer Bites Strawberry Banana Flavor

What it is

Hermojo Advance Pro Female Sensual Bites are chewable herbal gummies for adult women, packed two to a foil pouch with a net weight of 8 grams. Each gummy carries a 150 mg proprietary herbal blend, and this pouch is flavored strawberry banana. The back panel marks the product Halal, gelatin free and cruelty free, and states that it is made and packed in the USA.

The brand mark on both faces of the pouch reads Hermojo Advance Pro, and the back carries a “Powered By Men Potentia” line beneath the ingredient panel. There is a hang-tab punched through the top of the pack, so it is built to sit on a peg display rather than in a jar or a bottle.

These are confectionery-style edibles rather than capsules or tablets: pectin-set, sweetened with corn syrup and cane sugar, colored and flavored naturally, and finished with a carnauba wax coat. That is worth knowing up front if you were expecting a pill — you chew these, and they taste like sweets, because in texture and base ingredients that is broadly what they are.

What’s inside

Every gummy declares a 150 mg proprietary blend of twelve named botanicals and amino acids. Because it is declared as a proprietary blend, the pouch gives one combined figure rather than a milligram amount for each item, so what follows describes the ingredients themselves — where they come from and how they are commonly used in supplement formulas — and not what any of them will do for you. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements background page on botanical supplements is a neutral primer on how plant-based blends like this one are put together and regulated.

• Ashwagandha — the root of Withania somnifera, a small shrub in the nightshade family grown in India and North Africa. It is one of the most widely used herbs in Ayurvedic preparations and is now a fixture of the Western supplement aisle; the NCCIH page on ashwagandha gives general background on the plant and on what is and is not known about it.
• Horny Goat Weed — the common English name for Epimedium, a shade-loving flowering perennial. Its leaves have a long history in traditional Chinese herbal practice, and the plant is also grown ornamentally in temperate gardens as barrenwort.
• Maca Root — a hardy root vegetable in the mustard family, farmed on the high Peruvian altiplano. In Peru it is eaten as food; elsewhere it is usually dried and milled into a powder for blends like this one.
• Tongkat Ali — the root of Eurycoma longifolia, a slender understorey tree from the rainforests of Malaysia and Indonesia. It is traditionally prepared as a bitter decoction, and appears in supplement formulas as a dried root extract.
• L-Citrulline — an amino acid named after the watermelon, Citrullus lanatus, from which it was first isolated. It occurs naturally in melon flesh and rind.
• L-Histadine — printed on the pouch with that spelling; it is the amino acid histidine, one of the essential amino acids obtained from ordinary dietary protein such as meat, fish, eggs and beans.
• L-Arginine — another amino acid, abundant in nuts, seeds, dairy and poultry, and one of the most common single-ingredient entries in the wider supplement market.
• Cordyceps — a genus of fungi originally collected on the Tibetan plateau, where it grows from insect larvae. Virtually all supplement-grade material today is cultivated on grain rather than wild-harvested.
• Fenugreek — a small annual legume whose hard amber seeds are a kitchen staple across South Asia and the eastern Mediterranean. Ground fenugreek is what gives many curry powders their faint maple-sugar aroma.
• Tribulus — Tribulus terrestris, a low, sprawling plant of dry roadsides, known in Australia as caltrop for its spiked seed cases. Its aerial parts and fruit are the parts used in herbal blends.
• Beet Root — the ordinary garden beet. Beyond its deep betalain pigment it is a well-known dietary source of nitrate, which is why it turns up so often in energy and sports formulas.
• Goji Berry — the orange-red fruit of Lycium barbarum, grown commercially in Ningxia in northern China and eaten there dried, by the handful or steeped in tea.

If you would rather read around the individual plants than take a marketing summary on trust, NCCIH keeps a plain-language index at Herbs at a Glance, which covers several of the botanicals above.

Ingredients and amounts

How to use it

The suggested use printed on the pouch is: for adults, chew one gummy as needed, and the gummy should be chewed before swallowing. That is the whole of the instruction on the pack — one gummy is a serving, and the pack holds two servings.

Chewing rather than gulping matters with a pectin gummy: it is a firm, sticky sweet and it is not designed to go down whole. Beyond that, follow the label and nothing else. We do not add timing advice, a schedule or a daily maximum to this listing, because none is printed on the pouch and inventing one would be worse than saying nothing.

Who it’s for

This is an adult product for women aged 18 and over, and the back panel describes it plainly as an infused edible for women. A two-count pouch is the smallest format this line comes in, which makes it the sensible pick for a first try: you find out whether the strawberry banana flavor and the chew suit you before committing to anything larger.

It suits anyone who would rather chew something than swallow a capsule, and the dietary marks on the pack widen that further — Halal, gelatin free and cruelty free are all printed on the back, and the gel is set with pectin rather than animal gelatin, which is consistent with the gelatin-free mark. If you are browsing the rest of the range, the supplements for women section and the women’s herbal capsules and edibles listings sit alongside this one.

It is not for everyone. The pouch states that the product is not recommended for pregnant women, and it is adult use only.

Good to know

• Warnings, as printed: not recommended for pregnant women; adult use only; keep away from children and pets.
• It is a sweet. Corn syrup and cane sugar are the first two items after the blend, so anyone counting sugar or managing blood glucose should factor that in.
• Proprietary blend. The 150 mg figure is the total for all twelve items combined. Anyone who needs to know exactly how much of a given botanical they are taking — because of an allergy, or a medication interaction — will not find that on this pouch.
• Herbs are not inert. Botanical ingredients can interact with prescription medicines. The NIH overview Dietary Supplements: What You Need to Know is a sensible starting point, and a pharmacist or doctor is a better one if you take anything regularly.
• Prop 65. No California Proposition 65 warning is printed on this pouch, so none is reproduced here.
• Shipping. Orders ship in plain, discreet outer packaging.

Frequently asked questions

How many gummies come in a pouch?

Two. The Hermojo Advance Pro Female Sensual Bites pouch holds two edibles at a combined net weight of 8 grams, and one gummy is a serving.

What flavor is this pouch?

Strawberry banana. It is printed on the front of the pouch beside an illustration of a strawberry and a banana, and the flavoring and coloring are both declared as natural on the ingredient panel.

Are these gummies gelatin free and Halal?

Both marks are printed on the back of the pouch, along with a cruelty-free mark. The gel base is pectin, a fruit-derived setting agent, rather than animal gelatin, which is consistent with the gelatin-free mark on the pack.

What is in the 150 mg blend?

Twelve items: ashwagandha, horny goat weed, maca root, tongkat ali, L-citrulline, L-histadine, L-arginine, cordyceps, fenugreek, tribulus, beet root and goji berry. The pouch declares them as a single proprietary blend of 150 mg per gummy and does not list individual amounts.

How do I take one?

Chew it. The pouch says to chew one gummy as needed and to chew it thoroughly before swallowing. No further timing or frequency instruction is printed on the pack.
