Man Power Action Male Enhancement 10 Strips

What this is

Man Power Action Strips is a men's dietary supplement supplied as ten fast-dissolving oral film strips in a small hinged plastic case. A serving is one to two strips, placed under the tongue and left to dissolve before swallowing, and the panel declares a 10 mg proprietary blend of red ginseng, L-arginine and fenugreek extract. The carton gives a net weight of 0.6 g and is marked for adults aged 18 and over.

The delivery format is what sets this apart from the capsules and tablets that fill most of the supplements for men shelf. A film strip is a wafer-thin sheet of edible polymer, closer to a breath strip than to a pill, that softens on contact with saliva. There is nothing to swallow dry and no water is needed, and the case itself is a compact hinged box of the kind breath strips are usually sold in. That convenience is the reason the format exists, and it is the honest reason to pick it over a capsule.

What's inside

The panel declares a single proprietary blend of 10 mg containing three named components. Because it is a proprietary blend, the label gives one combined figure and does not break the 10 mg down between the three, so neither do we.

• Red ginseng — Panax ginseng root that has been steamed and dried, a processing step that turns the root reddish-brown and is traditional in Korea and north-eastern China. It is one of the most widely used botanicals in the supplement trade; the NCCIH page on Asian ginseng gives general background on the plant.
• L-arginine — an amino acid, not a herb. It occurs in ordinary foods such as nuts, seeds, poultry and dairy, and the body also makes its own. In supplement formulas it is usually included as a free amino acid, as it is here.
• Fenugreek extract — made from the seed of Trigonella foenum-graecum, a small legume grown around the Mediterranean and across South Asia. The seed is a kitchen spice long before it is a supplement ingredient: it is the maple-scented note in many curry powders. The NIH ODS background sheet on botanical supplements explains how plant extracts of this kind are made and standardised.

The rest of the strip is the strip itself, and the label lists it plainly. Corn starch and carrageenan — the latter extracted from red seaweed — are the film formers that hold the sheet together and let it melt in the mouth. Xylitol and aspartame sweeten it, citric acid sharpens it, and licorice appears in the flavouring alongside natural and artificial flavour. The blue tint of the strips comes from Brilliant Blue, listed on the panel as E133 / FD&C Blue No. 1.

Two practical notes follow from that list. Because aspartame is used, the panel carries the standard phenylketonurics statement: this product contains phenylalanine. And because the sweeteners are xylitol and aspartame rather than sugar, the strips taste sweet without being a sugar confection.

Supplement Facts

How to use it

The directions printed on the carton are short and specific: place one to two Action Strips under the tongue until completely dissolved, then swallow. Take 15 minutes prior to sexual activity. The label adds, in its own words, not to consume excessively, to consume responsibly, and to drink plenty of water.

Storage is printed on the panel as well: keep the pack at 15–25 °C in a dry place, away from heat and humidity. That instruction matters more for a film strip than for a capsule, because the same solubility that makes the sheet dissolve on the tongue also makes it sensitive to damp air. Keep the case closed, and keep it out of a hot car or a steamy bathroom cabinet.

Who it's for

This is a product for adult men aged 18 and over, and the carton states that directly. It suits someone who already knows they prefer a strip to a capsule — people who dislike swallowing pills, who want something small enough to carry loose, or who simply want to try the format without committing to a large bottle. Ten strips is a trial-sized quantity rather than a standing supply.

It is not for everyone. The label rules out anyone under 18, and its cautions rule out use alongside other medication without a gap, and use by people with heart concerns or high blood pressure. If any of that describes you, this is a conversation to have with your own clinician first, not a decision to make from a product page.

Good to know

• Age. The carton states the product is not intended for use by persons under the age of 18.
• Other medication. The printed caution says not to use this product within six hours of taking other medications. Take that spacing seriously, and speak to a pharmacist if you are unsure how it applies to your own prescriptions.
• Heart concerns and blood pressure. The label says not to use it if you have heart problems or high blood pressure, and that people with medical concerns should check with their physicians before using this or any dietary supplement.
• Phenylalanine. The strips are sweetened in part with aspartame and carry the phenylketonurics warning accordingly.
• Children. Keep out of reach of children. A sweetened strip in a flat case looks a great deal like confectionery, which is a good reason to store it somewhere a child cannot reach.
• General supplement guidance. The NIH consumer sheet on what to know about dietary supplements is a sensible starting point if this is your first herbal product.

Frequently asked questions

How many strips come in a pack?

A pack of Man Power Action Strips holds ten strips in one hinged plastic case, with a printed net weight of 0.6 g.

How is a strip taken?

One to two strips go under the tongue and are left there until completely dissolved, then swallowed. The carton directs taking them 15 minutes prior to sexual activity. No water is needed.

What is actually in the blend?

The Supplement Facts panel declares a 10 mg proprietary blend of red ginseng, L-arginine and fenugreek extract. The panel assigns no individual milligram figure to any of the three, so no such breakdown appears above.

Is it sweetened, and does it contain sugar?

The strips are sweetened with xylitol and aspartame rather than sugar, and flavoured with licorice alongside natural and artificial flavour. Because aspartame is present, the label carries the phenylketonurics statement that the product contains phenylalanine.

How should the pack be stored?

At 15–25 °C in a dry place, away from heat and humidity, with the case kept closed. Film strips absorb moisture readily, so a dry cupboard is a better home for them than a bathroom shelf.

Shipping, packaging and returns

Orders ship in plain outer packaging. The parcel does not describe the contents and it will not show the Gear Isle name. Product photographs are illustrative. Packaging, lot codes and printed dates vary between shipments. Orders placed on a business day are dispatched no later than the next one, and a faster paid service can be selected during checkout. Our returns policy explains how to send an item back if it turns out not to be right for you.

If you would rather compare formats before deciding, the capsule and tablet alternatives sit on the male enhancement pills shelf.
