Men Potentia Sour Apple Male Enhancement 2 Gummy Bites

What this is

Men Potentia Advance Pro Sour Apple Bites is a green foil sachet holding two chewable gummies, with a net weight of 8 grams for the pack. Each gummy carries a 150 mg proprietary herbal blend of twelve botanicals and amino acids, set in a pectin-based candy rather than a gelatin one. The pack is marked Halal, Gelatin Free and cruelty free, and the back reads “Made and Packed in USA”.

It is a chew, not a capsule — there is nothing to swallow whole and nothing to measure out. The sachet is punched with a hang tab and notched at both sides for tearing open. You will find it alongside the rest of the range on our Men Potentia page and in Supplements for Men.

What is in each bite

The pack prints one figure for the active side of the formula: 150 mg of proprietary blend per gummy, with the twelve components named but not individually weighed. That is how the manufacturer discloses it, so that is how it is reproduced below — no amount has been assigned to any single ingredient.

Four of the twelve are roots or root material. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a small shrub in the nightshade family whose root has a long history in Ayurvedic preparations in India; the NCCIH page on ashwagandha gives general background on the plant. Maca root (Lepidium meyenii) is a cruciferous crop farmed on the high plateaus of the Peruvian Andes, where it is eaten as an ordinary food and dried into powder for export. Tongkat ali (Eurycoma longifolia) is a slender rainforest tree of Malaysia and Indonesia whose bitter root is traditionally simmered into a drink. Beet root is the familiar garden beet, dried and milled.

Horny goat weed is the common name for Epimedium, a low leafy perennial from China and Japan that doubles as a shade groundcover in ornamental gardens. Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris) is a sprawling roadside plant better known to gardeners as puncturevine. Fenugreek is a legume, Trigonella foenum-graecum, whose hard amber seeds are a standard curry spice. Goji berry (Lycium barbarum) is the orange-red fruit sold dried by the bag as a snack. Cordyceps is a genus of fungi long used in traditional Chinese preparations; nearly all of the material in modern supplements is cultivated rather than wild-collected. For a general primer on how botanicals of this kind are studied and regulated, the NIH keeps a plain-language overview of botanical dietary supplements and a browsable index of herbs at a glance.

The remaining three are amino acids rather than plants. L-citrulline takes its name from Citrullus, the watermelon genus it was first isolated from. L-arginine occurs throughout everyday protein foods — nuts, seeds, dairy and meat. The third is printed on the pack as L-Histadine, the manufacturer’s spelling of the amino acid histidine, and it is reproduced here exactly as it appears on the sachet.

The rest of the pack is confectionery. Corn syrup and cane sugar form the body of the sweet, water and pectin set it — pectin is the fruit-derived gelling agent that lets the pack carry a gelatin-free mark — and natural flavor and natural color do the apple. Sodium citrate and citric acid supply the sour edge that the flavor name promises. Coconut oil and carnauba wax finish the outside, the surface coatings usual on chews of this kind.

Ingredients as printed on the pack

How to use it

The suggested use printed on the sachet reads: 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 — no advance timing is printed, and no maximum number of gummies per day is given.

Chew it rather than swallowing it whole, as the pack asks. Keep the sachet somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sun, which is sensible for any sugar-and-pectin sweet.

Who it is for

This is an adult product for men, 18 and over. A two-piece pack suits someone trying the range for the first time, or keeping one in a bag rather than a bottle on a shelf. Because the sweet is set with pectin and the pack carries Halal and cruelty free marks, it also suits shoppers who avoid gelatin for dietary or religious reasons.

It is not for anyone under 18, and it is not sugar-free: corn syrup and cane sugar are the first two things listed after the blend, which is worth knowing if you are managing sugar intake.

Good to know

• Dietary supplement, not a medicine. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they go on sale; the agency’s consumer page on dietary supplements explains how the category is overseen.
• Speak to a licensed healthcare professional before use if you take prescription medication, particularly nitrates or blood-pressure medicines, or if you have a heart condition.
• Keep out of reach of children. A fruit-flavored chew is easily mistaken for candy.
• No California Proposition 65 warning is printed on this pack.
• Shipping and billing are discreet; orders arrive in plain outer packaging. Full details are on our returns and refunds page.

Frequently asked questions

What is actually in one of these gummies?

Each gummy carries a 150 mg proprietary blend of ashwagandha, horny goat weed, maca root, tongkat ali, L-citrulline, L-Histadine, L-arginine, cordyceps, fenugreek, tribulus, beet root and goji berry, in a candy base of corn syrup, cane sugar, water, pectin, natural flavor, natural color, sodium citrate, citric acid, coconut oil and carnauba wax. The pack does not break the 150 mg down by ingredient.

How many gummies come in the pack?

Two chewable gummies, in one 8 gram foil sachet.

How do I take one?

Chew it; do not swallow it whole. The sachet’s suggested use is one gummy as needed for adults, chewed before swallowing. No advance timing and no daily limit are printed on the pack, so if you want guidance beyond that, ask a licensed healthcare professional.

Are these really gelatin-free?

Yes. The pack is marked GELATIN FREE and HALAL, and the ingredient statement backs it up — pectin, a setting agent extracted from fruit, is doing the job that gelatin does in most chewable sweets. There is no animal-derived gelling agent in the list.

Do they contain sugar?

Yes. Corn syrup and cane sugar are the base of the chew, and citric acid and sodium citrate give the sour apple flavor its sharpness. This is not a sugar-free or low-calorie product.
