Shaft Dietary Supplement Male Enhancement 1800mg Red Pill

What it is

Shaft is a herbal dietary supplement sold here as one red capsule sealed on a single blister card. The card front carries the Shaft logo and the words "Dietary Supplement"; the back carries the Supplement Facts panel, the directions and the warning text transcribed further down this page. The panel gives a serving size of one capsule and a single proprietary herbal blend totalling 1800 mg.

The product is distributed by Shaft Pills, Inc of Hallandale, Florida. It sits in our supplements for men range alongside other single-serving herbal capsules.

What's inside

The Supplement Facts panel names eight botanical and compound ingredients inside one 1800 mg proprietary blend. The manufacturer publishes the weight of the blend as a whole and no figure for any ingredient within it, so no individual milligram amounts appear on this page either. Here is what each named ingredient actually is.

• Tribulus — Tribulus terrestris, a low-growing flowering plant of warm, dry climates. It has a long history in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese preparations and is one of the most common botanicals in men's herbal formulas.
• Cordyceps — a fungus, listed on the panel as "Cordyceps Miltaris". Cordyceps militaris is now cultivated commercially rather than harvested wild, and appears frequently in energy and endurance blends.
• Ginger Root — the rhizome of Zingiber officinale, the same kitchen spice used in cooking worldwide, and a fixture of traditional herbal preparations across Asia.
• Cnidium and Monnier Extract — the panel prints these on two separate lines. Both refer to Cnidium monnieri, a plant in the carrot family whose dried fruit is used in traditional Chinese herbal practice.
• Throbromine — the panel's spelling of theobromine, a compound occurring naturally in cacao. It is a mild stimulant chemically related to caffeine, and it is what gives dark chocolate its slight lift.
• Rhodiola — Rhodiola rosea, a hardy plant of arctic and high-mountain regions. Herbal traditions classify it as an adaptogen, which is a category term rather than a regulated one.
• Avena Sativa Extract — extract of the common oat, Avena sativa. Often labelled wild oat extract, it is a recurring component of men's herbal blends.

These are descriptions of the plants and compounds themselves, not statements about what the finished product does. For general background on how botanical supplements are made and regulated, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes a consumer fact sheet on botanical dietary supplements, and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health maintains its Herbs at a Glance reference covering many individual plants. Neither source refers to this product.

Supplement Facts

How to use it

The directions printed on the card read: take (1) capsule 30 minutes prior to activity. The caution text along the edge of the panel adds two limits — do not exceed more than one capsule in four days, and the product is not to be used by individuals under the age of 18.

Those two lines are the whole of the manufacturer's dosing guidance. Nothing on the card specifies taking it with food or water, and no storage instruction is printed anywhere on the packaging. If the card in your hand ever differs from this page, follow the card.

Who it's for

This is a single-serving format aimed at adults 18 and over. Because the card holds one capsule, it suits someone trying the Shaft blend for the first time who does not want to commit to a multi-count pack, or someone who would rather keep one on hand for a specific occasion than a supply in a cupboard.

It is not a daily supplement; the four-day limit printed on the card rules that out. Anyone looking for a regular herbal routine is looking at a different category of product. Browse the wider male enhancement pills range to compare formats and counts.

Good to know

The warning printed on the card reads in full: use only as directed; do not take if you have a serious medical condition or take nitrates, nitroglycerin, or prescription medication; do not use if you have heart problems or high blood pressure; consult your physician if you have any of these conditions.

The line about nitrates and prescription medication is worth reading twice, and it is worth being clear that it comes from the manufacturer's own packaging rather than being added by us. If you take any prescription medicine at all, have that conversation with your doctor or pharmacist before using a herbal product. The NIH publishes a plain-language guide, Dietary Supplements: What You Need to Know, and NCCIH covers interactions and quality questions in its overview of dietary and herbal supplements.

No California Proposition 65 warning is printed on this packaging, so none is reproduced here. Keep the card out of reach of children.

Frequently asked questions

How many capsules come on this card?

One. This listing is a single blister card holding one red capsule, and that card is the whole of the item.

What does the 1800mg figure refer to?

The 1800 mg is the total weight of the proprietary herbal blend in one capsule, which is also one serving. It is not the weight of any single ingredient.

Does the label say how much Tribulus or Cordyceps is in it?

No. The Supplement Facts panel lists the eight ingredient names beneath a single blend total and assigns no individual amounts, which is ordinary practice for proprietary blends.

What colour is the capsule?

Red. A single red capsule is visible through the clear blister on the front of the card.

Is the packaging discreet?

Yes. Orders go out in plain outer packaging with nothing on the outside naming the contents or this store.
