Zeus Gummies 8.8g Green Apple Flavor Male Sexual Enhancement

What it is

Zeus Plus Green Apple is a chewable dietary supplement gummy for adult men, sold as a single resealable foil sachet holding two gummies with a net weight of 8.8 g. Each gummy is one serving of 4.4 g, so a sachet holds two servings. The pack is marked caffeine free, and the active part of the formula is a 215 mg proprietary herbal blend built around Ginkgo Biloba, Tribulus Terrestris extract and Wild Yam extract.

The format is the real point of difference here. This is a gummy rather than a capsule or a tablet, so there is nothing to swallow whole and no water needed to get it down — though the label does ask you to drink plenty of water while you are using it. The sachet is flat, matte black, and small enough to sit in a wallet or a jacket pocket.

What's inside

The gummy carries a 215 mg proprietary blend. The manufacturer lists the botanicals in that blend by name but does not publish a milligram figure for each one, which is standard practice for a proprietary blend — so the honest position is that 215 mg is the only amount disclosed, and the split between the seven components is not stated anywhere on the pack. Here is what those seven are:

• Carthamus — the genus of safflower, an oilseed crop grown across India, Mexico and the American plains. Its dried florets have a long history in traditional preparations and are still used as a natural coloring.
• Cinnamon Bark — the inner bark of the cinnamon tree, harvested, dried and curled into quills. The same everyday kitchen spice, appearing here in supplement form.
• Ginkgo Biloba — leaf extract from the ginkgo tree, a species so old it is often called a living fossil. It is one of the more widely sold botanicals in the world; the NCCIH overview of ginkgo gives general background on the plant and on what is and is not known about it.
• Red-berried Weeds — printed on the panel exactly as written here. It is not a standard botanical name, so we have transcribed it rather than substituting a plant we cannot confirm was meant.
• Rehmannia — a root used in traditional Chinese preparations, where it is usually prepared by repeated steaming and drying before use.
• Tribulus Terrestris Extract — a low-growing plant sometimes called puncture vine, common in men's supplement formulas and named on a great many of them.
• Wild Yam Extract — from the tuber of the Dioscorea vine, a plant with a substantial history in both food and supplement use.

Because a proprietary blend hides the internal proportions, there is a real limit to what anyone can say about this formula from the label alone. For general background on how botanical supplements are regulated and labeled, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes a plain-English page on botanical dietary supplements, and NCCIH maintains an index of herbs at a glance.

The rest of the gummy is confectionery. It is built on cane sugar, tapioca syrup and pectin — pectin rather than gelatin, which is what gives it its set. Each gummy carries 13 calories, no fat and no cholesterol, and 4.3 g of sugars, all of which the label declares as added sugars. Anyone counting sugar intake should factor that in.

Supplement Facts

How to use it

The label gives one dosage instruction: take one to two servings every 72 hours, and do not exceed the recommended dosage. One serving is one gummy. It also asks you to drink eight glasses of water daily while using the product.

Note what that instruction is and is not. It is a ceiling on how often the product may be taken — a spacing limit set by the manufacturer. It is not a statement about how long anything works, and we do not make one. The pack also prints no advance timing at all: there is no instruction anywhere on this label telling you to take it a set number of minutes ahead of anything. If you have seen a specific figure quoted for this product, it did not come from the packaging.

No storage instruction is printed on the sachet either. General practice for a sugar-based chewable is a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, but we are not going to present that as a manufacturer instruction when the manufacturer did not give one.

Who it's for

This is a supplement for adults aged 18 and over. The label states plainly that it is not for use by women, or by anyone under 18.

Practically speaking, the two-gummy sachet suits someone who wants to try this format once rather than commit to a jar, or who wants something flat and sealed to keep on hand. If you dislike swallowing capsules, a chewable is an easier format to get on with. If you avoid caffeine, note that this one is marked caffeine free. If you are managing your sugar intake, the 4.3 g of added sugars per gummy is the number to look at.

Good to know

The manufacturer prints a specific warning on the back of the sachet, and it is worth reading before you buy rather than after. Do not use this product if you are at risk for, or are under a doctor's care for, high blood pressure, kidney disease, thyroid disease or heart disease, a psychiatric condition, a seizure disorder, stroke, or an enlarged prostate. Consult your doctor before using. Do not use if you have a medical condition.

Keep it out of reach of children. As with any supplement, if you take prescription medication — nitrates in particular — or you are under medical care for anything at all, speak to a licensed healthcare professional before you start. The pack is marked "Manufactured in USA for: GIG". No Proposition 65 warning is printed on this packaging, so none is reproduced here.

Frequently asked questions

How many gummies come in the sachet?

Two. The sachet holds two green apple gummies at 4.4 g each, for a net weight of 8.8 g, and the label counts each gummy as one serving.

Is there caffeine in it?

No. The front of the pack is marked caffeine free, and caffeine does not appear anywhere in the ingredient listing.

Is it gelatin-free?

The gummy is set with pectin, which is plant-derived, and gelatin is not named anywhere in either ingredient list on this pack. The manufacturer does not print a gelatin-free, vegan or vegetarian mark on the packaging, so we can tell you what the ingredient list says but cannot pass on a certification the label does not make.

How much of each herb is in the blend?

The label does not say. It declares a 215 mg proprietary blend and names the seven botanicals in it, without individual milligram amounts. That is the full extent of what the manufacturer discloses, and we do not estimate the rest.

How often can it be taken?

The label instructs one to two servings every 72 hours and says not to exceed the recommended dosage. Always follow the printed instruction on the pack itself.
