The Magic Stick 15000IU Ultimate Male Unit Enhancer Blue 6 Pills Bottle

What it is

The Magic Stick 15000 IU is a herbal dietary supplement for adult men, sold as a cobalt-blue bottle holding six capsules. The bottle ships with a white tamper-evident cap printed "Sealed For Your Protection", and the panel on the back states that the product is made in the USA and distributed by Axiom Inc.

The Supplement Facts panel gives one capsule as a serving and rates that serving at 15,000 IU of what the label calls "Proprietary Raw Material". No individual milligram weights are printed for the plants in the blend, so none are listed here — the panel names the botanicals and nothing more, and we transcribe what is printed rather than filling in the gaps.

Capsule spacing is the detail worth knowing before you buy. The bottle's own caution sets a floor of 60 hours between capsules, which makes a six-capsule bottle an occasional-use item rather than something you work through daily. That spacing is the main practical difference between this and the daily formulas elsewhere in the supplements for men range.

What's inside

The label lists a single proprietary blend rather than a set of separately weighed ingredients. Eight botanicals are named on the panel, and here is what each one actually is — where it grows, and how it is ordinarily used in supplement formulas.

• Panax ginseng — the root of a slow-growing perennial cultivated in Korea and northeastern China, and one of the most heavily studied plants in the botanical supplement trade. The NCCIH overview of Asian ginseng gives general background on the plant and how it has been used.
• Cordyceps sinensis — a fungus that grows on caterpillar larvae at high altitude on the Tibetan plateau. Wild-collected material is scarce and expensive, so commercial supplements almost always use cultivated mycelium instead.
• Damiana — Turnera diffusa, a small yellow-flowered shrub native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Its dried leaves have a long history as a folk tea and are still used to flavour a Mexican liqueur.
• Cinnamon bark — the dried inner bark of Cinnamomum trees, harvested in Sri Lanka, southern India, Vietnam and Indonesia. The same spice sits in most kitchen cupboards; in supplement blends it usually appears as a powdered bark extract.
• Anacyclus — Anacyclus pyrethrum, a low daisy-family plant from North Africa and the Mediterranean. The root is the part traditionally used, and it appears in Ayurvedic and Unani preparations under the name akarkara.
• Goji — printed on the panel as "Go J Extract". The goji or wolfberry is the small red fruit of Lycium barbarum, grown commercially in Ningxia in northern China and sold widely as a dried berry.
• Rubus — the plant genus that covers raspberries, blackberries and their many hybrids. The label does not narrow it to a species, so neither do we.
• Dong So — listed on the panel under this name.

Because the blend is declared as proprietary, the manufacturer is not obliged to publish how much of each plant is present, and it has not done so. That is common in this category and it is worth understanding what it means: the order of the list is the only clue to proportion, and the panel does not confirm even that. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements has a plain-language primer on botanical dietary supplements that explains how these products are regulated and labelled, and the NCCIH keeps a reference index of individual plants at Herbs at a Glance.

Supplement Facts

How to use it

The label direction is to take one capsule four hours before sexual activity. That four-hour lead time is what the bottle prints, and it is a good deal further ahead than the half-hour or so that shoppers often assume from other products in this category — worth planning around.

The label also notes that the product can be taken on a regular basis, and asks that it be taken at least one hour apart from other supplements or medications.

The hard limit printed on the bottle is the spacing one: do not use more than one capsule every 60 hours. With six capsules in the bottle, that is the ceiling the manufacturer sets, and it should not be exceeded to make up for a missed occasion.

Storage is straightforward — the label asks that the product be kept in a cool, dry place. The tamper seal on the cap should be intact when the bottle reaches you.

Who it's for

This is an adult product, for men aged 18 and over, and the label positions it as an occasional-use supplement rather than a daily one. The 60-hour spacing rule is the clearest signal of that: six capsules used at the label's minimum interval is a supply measured in weeks rather than days.

It suits someone who wants a small quantity to try rather than a large tub to commit to, and who is comfortable with a proprietary botanical blend where per-plant amounts are not published. Anyone who wants to know exactly how many milligrams of each botanical they are taking will not find that on this label, and would be better served by a formula that declares its ingredients individually. Related items sit in the sex capsules section.

Good to know

The bottle carries its own caution panel, and it is worth reading before the first capsule. Taken from the label, it asks you to:

• Consult a physician if you have heart problems, high blood pressure or prostate problems, or if you are taking any medications.
• Use no more than one capsule every 60 hours.
• Leave at least one hour between this and any other supplement or medication.
• Store the product in a cool, dry place.

Beyond what the bottle itself prints, the ordinary rules for this category apply. It is for adults 18 and over. It is not for women who are pregnant or nursing. Anyone taking prescription medication — nitrates in particular — should speak to a doctor before using it, and it should be kept out of reach of children.

Herb and drug interactions are a real consideration rather than a formality, particularly for anyone on cardiovascular medication. The NCCIH page on dietary and herbal supplements and the ODS guide to what you need to know about dietary supplements both cover this ground in general terms.

Orders are packed in plain, unbranded outer packaging, with nothing on the outside identifying the contents or the store.

Frequently asked questions

How many capsules come in a bottle?

Six. The front of The Magic Stick label prints "6 Capsules", and the Supplement Facts panel gives six servings of one capsule each.

How long should I leave between capsules?

At least 60 hours. The caution panel on The Magic Stick bottle prints "Do not use more than one capsule every 60 hours", and that is a ceiling set by the manufacturer rather than a suggestion.

How far ahead of time is it taken?

Four hours. The bottle's usage panel directs that one capsule be taken four hours before sexual activity, which is a longer run-up than many comparable products ask for.

What is actually in the blend?

Eight botanicals are named on the Supplement Facts panel: Go J Extract, Dong So, Anacyclus, Cinnamon Bark, Damiana, Cordyceps Sinensis, Panax Ginseng and Rubus. They are declared as a single proprietary blend, so no per-plant amounts are printed on the label and none are stated here.

Where is it made, and who makes it?

The label prints "Made in USA" alongside a US flag, and gives the distributor as Axiom Inc. Gear Isle is a retailer of this product, not its manufacturer.
