How to read it: seven ingredients, each with its own amount, which is more open than most male-vitality labels. The doses are small: 5 ingredients at 20 mg, 10 mg of a concentrated tongkat ali extract and 8 mg of horny goat weed extract, against trial doses of hundreds of milligrams for several of them.
Horsewood Cautions (label): do not exceed the recommended dose; pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18 and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician; keep out of reach of children; do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing.
