How to read this report
What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
What the label discloses
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 3 declared rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organic Black Maca Root Extract 40:1 | 1,000 mg | — | |
| Organic Ashwagandha Root Extract Powder 20:1 | 400 mg | — | |
| Fenugreek Seed Powder Extract 50% Saponins | 100 mg | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a declared “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; the open question is whether those declared amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Each ingredient’s amount is disclosed
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
No data yet: Testing claimed — documentation not found
The listing claims third-party testing without naming any lab or certifier, so the claim can't be verified as stated.
No data yet: Review-count history: not available
Marketplace rating not shown★ — rating count unavailable. No exact-listing count history was available, so no review-pattern claim is made.
No physical impossibility in the listed amounts
Technical check only: the panel’s 3 actives sum to 1,500 mg, which fits inside the ≈40,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
Category context: sexual-enhancement products carry documented FDA risk
FDA's health-fraud program documents sexual-enhancement products as the most common supplement category found to contain undeclared prescription-drug ingredients. This is a category-level documented fact from FDA's public database — not a test result for this specific product. Source: fda.gov (linked in Related research).
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how ashwagandha, fenugreek, maca root have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH NCCIH — Ashwagandha, PubMed search: ashwagandha randomized trial.
No exact supplement trademark owner found
The live USPTO search returned no exact-wordmark supplement-related registration for this brand. That is a public-record gap, not evidence that the brand has no owner or that the product is improper.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical-evidence claim “…libido* MADE IN USA High-potency Adaptogens Clinically Studied Support Blend 3 Ingredients GMP FACILITY 3RD…” | No evidence located We looked for: a named, citable clinical study of this product or formula | No named, citable study of this product or formula was located in public sources. The claim may rest on ingredient-level research rather than a trial of this product. |
| Quality-testing claim “…and balance.* MADE IN USA · GMP CERTIFIED · THIRD-PARTY TESTED: Independently tested for purity and potency…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: a named laboratory, a certificate of analysis, or a certification-registry entry | No named laboratory, no certificate of analysis, and no certification-registry entry matching this product was located. |
| Manufacturing claim “…energy, stamina, and balance.* MADE IN USA · GMP CERTIFIED · THIRD-PARTY TESTED: Independentl…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | Facility-level claims can be accurate and still say nothing about this product’s contents. No registration document was located. |
| Origin claim “…support daily energy, stamina, and balance.* MADE IN USA · GMP CERTIFIED · THIRD-PARTY TESTED: Indepe…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “…tract – Energy, Stamina, Mood & Testosterone Support – Peruvian, Non-GMO Vegan – 60 Capsules 40X…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Published research exists for ingredients in this formula — see Related research below. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed. |
“No evidence located” does not mean a claim is false — it means the seller has not put evidence proportionate to the claim on the public record, and we could not find any. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
This label vs. the doses studied
Why is this shown?
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Organic Ashwagandha Root Extract Powder 20:1 | shaded = doses used in studies (250 mg–600 mg) · bar = this label | 400 mg — within the studied range |
| Fenugreek Seed Powder Extract 50% Saponins | shaded = doses used in studies (500 mg–600 mg) · bar = this label | 100 mg — below the studied range |
| Organic Black Maca Root Extract 40:1 | shaded = doses used in studies (1.5 g–3 g) · bar = this label | 1 g — below the studied range |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.
Documented cautions
- fenugreek — studied as a standardized extract over 8–12 weeks; may interact with blood-thinning and blood-sugar medication — documented interaction, not advice
Statements from published sources about these ingredients — not advice about this product, and not a complete safety review. Anyone taking medication should talk to a pharmacist or clinician.
Verifiability profile — 1 of 6 public signals
What this listing gives the public to check. Publishing these signals doesn't prove quality — but withholding them means claims can only be taken on faith.

Related research & consistency
ashwagandha — NIH NCCIH — Ashwagandha · PubMed search: ashwagandha randomized trial · WebMD: ashwagandha · FDA — tainted sexual-enhancement products · ClinicalTrials.gov — 78 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: daily use over 6–12 weeks in studies; extract concentration matters (root powder ≠ standardized extract).
fenugreek — PubMed search: fenugreek extract randomized controlled trial · NIH NCCIH — Fenugreek · ClinicalTrials.gov — 60 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: studied as a standardized extract over 8–12 weeks; may interact with blood-thinning and blood-sugar medication — documented interaction, not advice.
maca root — PubMed search: Lepidium meyenii randomized trial · NIH NCCIH — Maca · ClinicalTrials.gov — 9 registered studies
ℹ Use pattern in research: studied for libido-related endpoints; research generally does not show testosterone changes — the two are often conflated in marketing.
