← The FormularyDrive & vitalityMuira puama
Also known as Ptychopetalum olacoides / potency woodAmazonian by reputation. Thin by paperwork.
Muira puama has the best name and the thinnest file of anything in this formula. A review of aphrodisiac ingredients found the clinical literature lacking for muira puama alone; what exists is mostly combination products, animal studies, and one trial in postmenopausal women where it was paired with ginkgo. That is not nothing, and it is not much. It is here as a traditional Amazonian tonic in a blend of thirteen — which is the only honest way to carry an ingredient like this.
Bark and root of a small Amazonian tree, called 'potency wood' in the trade — a name that tells you more about the marketing than the pharmacology.
Honestly: not well mapped. The plant contains sterols and free fatty acids, and animal work has looked at nervous-system and circulatory effects, but no mechanism has been established in humans. Anyone describing one in confident detail is extrapolating.
Traditionally used as a tonic for libido and fatigue. It sits in a blend as a traditional botanical, not as an evidenced active.
Anyone who understands they are buying tradition rather than trial data. Not a starting point for a real problem.
Daily inside PRIME's blend, with food.
Unknown, honestly. No trial has established a timeline or an effect size for this plant on its own.
Grade C, and generous at that. The published human evidence is limited to combination products; there are no controlled standalone trials in men. Traditional use in Amazonian practice is genuine and long-standing, which is a different kind of claim and the only one supported.
Read the labelNot an erection product and not a treatment for sexual dysfunction. Speak to a doctor first if you are on any prescription medicine.
Evidence grades describe how well an ingredient is studied — A well-supported, C emerging — not a promise of results. Educational, not medical advice. Doses are typical ranges; follow the label on the product.
