LabsMen Horny Goat Weed Testosterone Booster for Men

What it is

Labsmen Horny Goat Weed is a herbal dietary supplement for adult men, sold as one bottle of 60 capsules. The label sets a serving at two capsules and gives the bottle 30 servings, so a bottle covers 30 days at one serving a day. Each serving carries 2,100 mg of declared botanical and amino-acid ingredients across eleven named rows, led by 1,000 mg of horny goat weed extract and 500 mg of CarnoSyn® beta-alanine. It sits in our Supplements for Men range.

The packaging is a black bottle with a black screw cap and a green-and-black wrap label carrying the Labsmen wordmark, with the Supplement Facts panel wrapping around the side. Everything in the table further down this page is transcribed from that printed panel.

What's inside

The formula is a single-tier list of eleven ingredients with individual amounts — there is no proprietary blend, so every milligram on the panel is attributed to a named ingredient. Here is what each one is.

• Horny goat weed extract, 1,000 mg — made from Epimedium sagittatum, a small flowering plant long used in traditional Chinese herbal preparations, where it is also called barrenwort. The panel specifies a 15:1 concentrate providing 13 mg of icariins; icariin is the marker compound herbalists use to describe an epimedium extract's concentration. It is the ingredient the product is named after and the largest single amount in the formula.
• Maca root, 250 mg — a 4:1 concentrate of a root crop grown high in the Peruvian Andes, where it has been eaten as a food for centuries. It is one of the more common botanicals in men's wellness formulas.
• Tribulus terrestris fruit, 60 mg — standardized to 90% saponins. Tribulus is a spreading plant found across warm regions; the fruit is the part used in supplements.
• Polypodium vulgare root powder, 20 mg — common polypody, a small fern that grows on rocks and tree trunks across Europe. An unusual inclusion in this category, and the only fern on the panel.
• Eurycoma longifolia root powder, 100 mg — better known as tongkat ali, a slender shrub-tree native to the forests of Malaysia and Indonesia. The panel lists a 100:1 concentrate.
• Saw palmetto berry powder, 100 mg — Serenoa repens, a fan palm that grows wild along the coastal plain of the southeastern United States. The NCCIH keeps a general saw palmetto fact sheet if you want neutral background on the plant.
• Muira puama bark powder, 20 mg — bark from a small Amazonian tree, long used in Brazilian herbal tradition.
• L-Arginine HCl, 20 mg — an amino acid that occurs naturally in everyday foods such as nuts, seeds, poultry and dairy, here in its hydrochloride salt form.
• Panax ginseng root, 20 mg — standardized to 80% ginsenosides. This is Asian ginseng, a slow-growing root cultivated in Korea and northeastern China; the NCCIH publishes an Asian ginseng overview covering what is and is not known about it.
• CarnoSyn® beta-alanine, 500 mg — a branded, patented form of the amino acid beta-alanine, which is a staple of sports-nutrition formulations. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements covers beta-alanine among other ingredients in its consumer sheet on supplements for exercise and athletic performance.
• Yohimbe bark extract, 10 mg — from Pausinystalia johimbe, a West African evergreen. This is the smallest amount on the panel and the ingredient most worth reading up on before you buy; see the "Good to know" section below.

Other ingredients listed on the panel are rice flour, gelatin, tricalcium phosphate, vegetable stearates and silicates. The panel marks every active row with "Daily Value (DV) not established", which is the standard notation for botanicals that have no official reference intake.

How to use it

The label's suggested use reads: as a dietary supplement, adults take two (2) capsules daily, preferably with a meal, or as recommended by a physician. That is the whole of the printed direction — there is no loading phase, no timed window and no second serving on the panel.

Store the bottle closed, somewhere cool and dry and out of direct sunlight, which is ordinary practice for capsule supplements. Do not take more than the label directs.

Who it's for

This is a men's category herbal supplement for adults 18 and over, and it suits someone who wants a multi-botanical capsule rather than a single-herb product. Full per-ingredient disclosure is the distinguishing feature here: you can see exactly how much of each item you are taking, which is not true of the many formulas in this aisle that hide everything inside a proprietary blend. A 60-capsule bottle is a month at the label serving, so it is a commitment-sized purchase rather than a single-dose trial pack.

It is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, because the capsule shell is made with gelatin, and it is a men's formulation rather than a unisex one. You can browse comparable items across our men's range.

Good to know

Read up on yohimbe before you buy this one. Yohimbe bark extract is a declared ingredient at 10 mg per serving, and it is a botanical that carries documented safety considerations and interacts with a number of prescription medicines — the NCCIH keeps a plain-language yohimbe fact sheet that is worth five minutes. If you take prescription medication of any kind, have high blood pressure or a heart condition, or are under medical care, speak to a licensed healthcare professional before starting this or any supplement.

Two other things worth knowing. Beta-alanine is present at 500 mg per serving, which is relevant if you already use a sports-nutrition product containing it. And no California Proposition 65 warning appears on this product's packaging, so none has been added here. Keep the bottle out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many capsules are in the bottle, and how far does one bottle go?

Each bottle holds 60 capsules. The label sets a serving at two capsules and gives the bottle 30 servings, so one bottle is a 30-day supply at one serving per day.

Is Labsmen Horny Goat Weed suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

No. The capsule shell contains gelatin, which is animal-derived, so the product is not vegetarian or vegan. The remaining non-active ingredients on the panel are rice flour, tricalcium phosphate, vegetable stearates and silicates.

What does "13 mg of icariins" on the front of the bottle refer to?

It describes the strength of the horny goat weed extract in one two-capsule serving. The panel declares 1,000 mg of a 15:1 Epimedium sagittatum extract and states that this provides 13 mg of icariins, which is the marker compound used to characterize epimedium extracts.

Does this contain yohimbe?

Yes — each two-capsule serving contains 10 mg of yohimbe bark extract (Pausinystalia johimbe), listed on the Supplement Facts panel. Yohimbe has known interactions with prescription medicines, so read the NCCIH yohimbe fact sheet and check with a healthcare professional if you take anything regularly.
