What it is
Shogun-X 1500mg is a herbal dietary supplement for adult men, supplied as one capsule sealed in a single blister on one printed card. The capsule delivers a 1,500 mg proprietary herbal blend, and the card describes the formula as an "Oriental Herbal Extract". It is distributed by POWER LIFE Distributors of Los Angeles, California, and the back of the card is marked "Designed by Japan" beside "Made in U.S.A."
The branding leans on that Japanese framing throughout — the name is set in gold beside the kana しょうぐん, and the front artwork is a woodblock-style illustration in the ukiyo-e tradition. Underneath the styling, the substance of the product is straightforward: a single-serving capsule with one blend figure printed on the panel and fourteen components named beneath it.
What's inside
The Supplement Facts panel prints one combined figure — a 1,500 mg proprietary blend — and then names fourteen components underneath it without an individual amount beside any of them. That matters when you are comparing products, so it is worth stating plainly: the panel does not disclose how much of each ingredient the capsule contains, and we will not estimate figures that the manufacturer did not print.
What the panel does tell you is that the blend weight and the serving weight are the same number. The serving size is one capsule at 1,500 mg, and the blend is declared at 1,500 mg, so the formula on the label accounts for the full stated weight of the serving rather than leaving part of it unaccounted for. That is not true of every card in this category, and it is checkable on the packaging itself.
Most of the fourteen names are botanicals. Tribulus Terrestris is a Mediterranean and South Asian vine whose spiny fruit has a long history in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese preparations. Damiana Leaf comes from a small shrub native to Mexico and Central America, traditionally brewed as a tea. Maca Root is a cruciferous root crop cultivated above 4,000 metres in the Peruvian Andes, where it is eaten as an ordinary food. Guarana is an Amazonian seed and a natural source of caffeine. Fo-ti Root is the tuber of Reynoutria multiflora, long used in traditional Chinese herbal practice. Horny Goat Weed is the common name for plants of the Epimedium genus, and Wild Yam Extract comes from the tuber of a climbing vine in the Dioscorea genus.
The list also includes Yohimbe, the bark of a West African evergreen tree. Of everything on this panel, that is the entry most worth reading up on before you buy: it is the subject of a dedicated NCCIH page on yohimbe, which sets out what is known about the bark and describes reported safety concerns, including effects on blood pressure and heart rate and interactions with medicines. That page is general background on the botanical; it is not an assessment of this product and does not endorse it. If you take prescription medication, or have a heart or blood-pressure condition, read it and speak to a healthcare professional before deciding.
Two entries are not botanicals at all. L-Arginine is an amino acid found in everyday foods such as nuts, seeds, fish and dairy, and a common inclusion in formulas of this type. Lyco-pene — lycopene, as the panel hyphenates it — is the red pigment that gives tomatoes and watermelon their colour.
Finally there is a nutrient group carried inside the same blend rather than broken out into its own rows with percentage Daily Values: Vitamin-B12, Vitamin-C, Vitamin-D and Zinc Oxide. Because they sit inside the proprietary blend, the panel gives no amount and no %DV for any of them, so there is no way to relate what is in the capsule to a daily intake reference. For what those nutrients are and what recommended intakes look like in general, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes consumer fact sheets on vitamin B12 and on zinc. If you want background on how botanical supplements are put together and what a proprietary blend declaration does and does not have to disclose, the NIH primer on botanical dietary supplements covers it.

Named within the proprietary blend, in the order printed on the panel: Tribulus Terrestris, Lyco-pene, L-Arginine, Damiana Leaf, Guarana, Yohimbe, Maca Root, Vitamin-B12, Vitamin-C, Vitamin-D, Zinc Oxide, Fo-ti Root, Horny Goat Weed, Wild Yam Extract. The panel gives one combined figure for the blend and no individual amount for any component.
The card prints no separate "Other Ingredients" line, so the capsule shell material is not declared on the packaging.
How to use it
The directions printed on the card are to take one capsule 30 minutes before sexual activity. The same panel instructs that Shogun-X be taken 30 minutes apart from any other supplements or medications.
The card sets a firm ceiling alongside that instruction: do not use more than one capsule in any 60-hour period. That is a safety limit rather than a schedule. It is printed as a precaution, it says nothing about duration, and it should not be read as an invitation to dose up to the boundary.
No storage instructions are printed anywhere on this card, so we are not going to supply any. Everything above is transcribed directly from the packaging photographed for this listing, and where the card is silent, so are we.
Who it's for
A one-capsule card is a sampling format. It suits an adult man over 18 who wants to try a brand at the smallest quantity it is sold in, rather than buying a multi-capsule pack of something he has not used before. It also suits someone who reaches for this category only occasionally and would rather not keep stock in a drawer for months.
There are people this is a poor fit for, and they are worth naming directly. Anyone under 18: the card states that it is not for use by individuals under the age of 18 years. Anyone avoiding caffeine, because guarana seed is a natural caffeine source and the panel prints no amount for it. And anyone with a heart condition or on prescription medication who has not spoken to their doctor — the yohimbe content makes that conversation more important here than it would be for a formula without it.
Other formats and counts are grouped under supplements for men, and the rest of this category sits in male enhancement pills.
Good to know
The cautions printed on the card are these: consult a physician if you have heart problems; stop using immediately if undesirable effects develop; do not use more than one capsule every 60 hours; and keep out of the reach of children. The card also carries the standard FDA statement about dietary supplements, which is reproduced in full at the foot of this page.
The manufacturer information on the back is limited. The distributor is identified as POWER LIFE Distributors, Los Angeles CA 90005, with no telephone number and no street address beyond the city and ZIP. The barcode reads 1 18122 03011 6, and the card is marked Made in U.S.A. beneath the US and Japanese flags. There is no California Proposition 65 warning printed on this packaging, so none is reproduced here.
Orders ship in plain outer packaging that does not describe the contents and does not show the Gear Isle name. We dispatch no later than the next business day; a faster paid service can be selected at checkout. Product photographs are illustrative. Packaging, lot codes and printed dates vary between shipments. If this turns out not to be the right product for you, our returns policy sets out the options.
Frequently asked questions
How many capsules come on the card?
One. Shogun-X 1500mg is supplied as a single capsule sealed in one blister on one printed card, and the serving size stated on the panel is that one capsule.
Does the label say how much of each ingredient is in it?
No. The Shogun-X Supplement Facts panel prints a single combined figure of 1,500 mg for the proprietary blend and names fourteen components beneath it without individual amounts. Only the blend total is disclosed, which is why no per-ingredient milligram figures appear anywhere on this page.
Does it contain caffeine?
Guarana is on the ingredient list, and guarana seed is a natural source of caffeine. The panel prints no caffeine amount, so how much the capsule contains cannot be stated. Anyone sensitive to caffeine, or advised to avoid it, should take that into account.
Can I take it alongside other supplements or medication?
The card instructs that it be taken 30 minutes apart from other supplements or medications, and that a physician be consulted by anyone with heart problems. Given the yohimbe content, anyone taking prescription medication — blood-pressure medicines and nitrates in particular — should speak to a licensed healthcare professional before use rather than rely on a product page.
Where is it made, and who makes it?
The back of the card is marked "Made in U.S.A." and "Designed by Japan", with both national flags printed alongside. The distributor named on the packaging is POWER LIFE Distributors of Los Angeles, California. No manufacturing facility is identified by name.
