Horny Goat Weed Gummy Men and Women Stamina And Energy Complex

What it is

Idea Health Horny Goat Weed Gummy is a blueberry-flavored herbal dietary supplement sold as a bottle of 60 chewable gummies, with two gummies making up one serving and 30 servings in the bottle. Each two-gummy serving combines five named ingredients: horny goat weed extract, maca powder, tongkat ali root powder, tribulus extract and L-arginine.

The gummies are small, round, deep red discs in a clear screw-cap bottle with a black, white and gold label. The front of the bottle carries a Non-GMO and gluten-free badge and the words "Dietary Supplement". The formula is labeled for both men and women, and it sits in our supplements for men and supplements for women ranges.

What's inside

The five active ingredients add up to 110 mg per two-gummy serving. That is a modest amount by capsule standards, which is typical of gummy formats: most of the weight of a gummy is the sweetened pectin base that makes it chewable. Here is what each named ingredient is.

Horny goat weed extract — 10 mg

Horny goat weed is the common name for several species of Epimedium, a low, leafy plant in the barberry family that grows in woodland across China, Korea and Japan. Its dried leaves have a long record in traditional Chinese herbal practice, where it is known as yin yang huo. The label lists a 20:1 extract, and states that the 10 mg in each serving is equivalent to 200 mg of the dried herb. In plain terms, twenty parts of plant material were concentrated down to one part of extract.

Maca powder — 40 mg

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root vegetable from the cabbage and mustard family, grown at very high altitude in the Peruvian Andes. It looks something like a small turnip and has been eaten as a food in that region for centuries, often dried and ground into flour. It is the largest single ingredient in this formula by weight.

Tongkat ali root powder — 20 mg

Tongkat ali (Eurycoma longifolia) is a slender tree native to the rainforests of Malaysia, Indonesia and neighboring Southeast Asian countries. Its bitter root is the part used, traditionally boiled into a tea, and it now appears widely in men's herbal blends sold in the West.

Tribulus extract — 20 mg

Tribulus terrestris is a trailing plant found in warm, dry regions on several continents. Its spiny seed pods give it the nicknames puncture vine and goathead. Both the fruit and the aerial parts have been used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese preparations, and it is a common entry in modern herbal supplement formulas.

L-arginine — 20 mg

L-arginine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of protein. The body makes some of its own, and it is also found in everyday foods such as poultry, fish, dairy, beans and nuts.

If you want general background on how herbal ingredients like these are regulated and sold, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements overview of botanical supplements is a clear starting point, and the NCCIH Herbs at a Glance index collects plain-language summaries of individual herbs. Neither source reviews or endorses this product.

The gummy base

The other ingredients are maltose syrup, sucrose, purified water, D-sorbitol solution, glucose, pectin, blueberry juice concentrate, blueberry flavor, citric acid, lactic acid, DL-malic acid, trisodium citrate, sodium lactate and a glazing agent of carnauba wax and vegetable oil. Pectin, a fiber taken from fruit, is the gelling agent, and no gelatin is listed. Several sugars and a sugar alcohol (sorbitol) appear on the list, which is worth knowing if you track sugar intake.

Supplement Facts

† Daily value not established. Ingredient names and amounts are transcribed as printed on the manufacturer's panel.

How to use it

One serving is two gummies, as set out on the Supplement Facts panel, and the bottle holds 30 servings. The gummies are chewable, so there is nothing to swallow whole. For how often to take a serving, follow the directions printed on the bottle and do not go beyond them. Keep the cap screwed on tightly between servings and store the bottle somewhere cool and dry, since gummies can soften and stick together in heat.

Who it's for

This is an adult product for men and women aged 18 and over who prefer a chewable format to capsules or tablets, and who are looking for a herbal blend built around horny goat weed and maca. The blueberry flavor and the pectin base suit people who find pills hard to swallow or who avoid gelatin. A 60-count bottle is also a practical size for trying a gummy format without committing to a bulk supply. If you are browsing further, the wider range of supplements for women sits alongside the men's range.
