Space Disco For Her Women Energy Enhancer Supplement 60 Pills

What this is

Space Disco For Her is a women's herbal dietary supplement supplied in a clear plastic bottle of 60 pink capsules under a pink screw cap. The Supplement Facts panel on the back of the bottle sets a serving at two capsules and lists 30 servings in the bottle, and the front of the bottle is marked as a 30 day supply. The brand printed on the label is Space Disco Performance.

Everything below is transcribed from the bottle itself — the front panel, the Supplement Facts panel, and the ingredient lines printed beside it.

What's inside

The panel lists seven items in a single named blend, six of them botanical and one an amino acid. It gives one figure for the blend as a whole rather than an amount for each ingredient, which is how proprietary blends are commonly declared. Here is what each of those seven things actually is.

• Maca powder (Lepidium meyenii, root) — maca is a root vegetable in the same botanical family as radish and cabbage, farmed on the high plateaus of the Peruvian Andes at altitudes where little else grows. The roots are traditionally dried in the sun for weeks and then milled to a powder, which is the form used here.
• Epimedium sagittatum powder (aerial parts) — a low, spreading flowering plant of eastern Asia in the barberry family. The aerial parts — the leaves and stems above ground, as distinct from the root — are the portion used, and the plant has a long history in traditional Chinese herbal preparations under the name yin yang huo.
• Pine bark extract (Pinus massoniana) — an extract of the bark of Masson's pine, a conifer native to southern China and widely planted there for timber and resin. Pine bark is a familiar raw material in supplement formulas because it is naturally rich in a group of plant compounds called proanthocyanidins.
• Nettle leaf powder (Urtica dioica) — stinging nettle, the same roadside plant that stings on contact. Drying disables the sting entirely, and dried nettle leaf has been eaten as a cooked green and brewed as a tea across northern Europe for centuries.
• Oat seed (Avena sativa) — the seed of the ordinary cereal oat, the same species grown for porridge and oatmeal. In herbal usage the seed and the green tops are handled as a distinct material from the milled grain in the breakfast aisle.
• Damiana leaf powder (Turnera diffusa) — a small aromatic shrub from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, with fragrant yellow flowers. Its dried leaf is traditionally brewed as a tea and is also the botanical behind a well-known Mexican liqueur.
• L-arginine powder — an amino acid the body makes for itself and also takes in from ordinary food, particularly nuts, seeds, poultry, fish and dairy. It is one of the most common single ingredients in the supplement aisle generally.

Background reading on this category of ingredient is published by the National Institutes of Health: the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements page on botanical dietary supplements explains how plant-based supplements are made and regulated, and Herbs at a Glance from NCCIH gives plain-language entries on individual botanicals. Neither is connected to this product or this brand in any way; they are general references for anyone who wants to read further before buying.

The panel also lists three other ingredients that are not part of the blend: silicon dioxide (printed on the label as "Silicone Dioxide"), a fine powder used to stop capsule contents caking; microcrystalline cellulose, a plant-derived bulking agent; and the capsule shell itself.

Supplement Facts

Transcribed directly from the panel on the back of the bottle. The blend is declared as a single total, so no per-ingredient amounts are published on the label and none are invented here.

If you like to check a panel against the manufacturer's own filing, the NIH maintains a public Dietary Supplement Label Database of label images submitted by supplement companies.

How to use it

The label defines a serving as two capsules, and the bottle holds 30 of those servings. Follow the directions printed on the bottle you receive, and do not exceed the serving stated there. Capsules of this size go down most easily with a full glass of water. As with any supplement, keep the bottle closed and store it somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.

Who it's for

This is an adult product, sold to women aged 18 and over who are shopping the herbal supplement aisle rather than looking for anything medical. The bottle format suits someone who wants a standing supply on the shelf rather than a one-off — 60 capsules at two per serving is a month of servings from a single purchase, which is a different proposition from the single-serving sachets and blister cards elsewhere in our supplements for women range.

It is not for anyone under 18, and it is not appropriate if you are pregnant or nursing. If you take prescription medication of any kind, or you have a diagnosed condition, the sensible order of operations is to ask your own doctor or pharmacist before you add anything herbal to what you already take.

Good to know

• Adults only. 18 and over. Keep out of reach of children.
• Talk to a professional first if you are pregnant, nursing, taking prescription medication, or under medical supervision. NCCIH publishes a general guide to the safety of dietary and herbal supplements, including how to raise the subject with a clinician.
• A supplement, not a food replacement. Nothing in this bottle substitutes for a varied diet.
• One product, not a routine. Herbal supplements interact with each other as well as with medicines, so keep track of everything you are taking at once rather than stacking blends.
• Discreet delivery. Orders leave in plain, unbranded outer packaging that gives no indication of the contents or of the shop. Our returns policy sets out the terms if the item is not right for you.

Frequently asked questions

How many capsules come in the bottle?

The bottle holds 60 pink capsules. The Supplement Facts panel defines a serving as two capsules and lists 30 servings, and the front of the bottle is marked as a 30 day supply.

Does the label give an amount for each ingredient?

No. The seven ingredients are grouped into one named blend and the panel publishes a single total for that blend rather than a milligram figure per ingredient. This is standard practice for proprietary blends, and it means no one — including us — can tell you how much maca or damiana a serving contains.

Does it contain caffeine?

Caffeine is not listed anywhere on the Supplement Facts panel, either in the blend or among the other ingredients. Nor is any other stimulant named on the label.

Is it suitable for vegetarians?

We cannot confirm that it is. The panel lists the shell only as "gel capsule" and does not state what the shell is made from, so anyone avoiding animal-derived gelatin should contact the brand directly before ordering.

Who makes it?

The brand mark on both faces of the bottle is Space Disco Performance, and the back panel carries that company's own website and support address for anyone who wants to reach the manufacturer rather than the shop.
