The ingredients
Which ingredients are common in a testosterone booster supplement?
Seven ingredients sit on the HoneyBoost panel, and boosters often list similar ones: tongkat ali, maca, mucuna, zinc, L-arginine, horny goat weed and damiana.
A review of 32 top-selling testosterone and erection supplements found that 19% of the ingredients had strong positive evidence, while 68% had contradicting, negative or lacking evidence (Kuchakulla 2021, ingredient review). The table sets each label amount beside what trials found.
Plant extracts
What did trials find for each plant extract?
For the five plant extracts, trials are few, small or missing, and none used a gummy.
| Ingredient | Per gummy | What studies found |
|---|---|---|
| Tongkat ali | 25 mg extract | A pooled analysis of 5 randomized trials reported higher total testosterone, and its authors say more research is required (Leisegang 2022, tongkat ali meta). Studies used 200 mg a day; 25 is one eighth. |
| Maca | 10 mg = 100 mg root | In men aged 21 to 56, 1,500 or 3,000 mg a day for 12 weeks was followed by higher self-rated desire and unchanged testosterone (Gonzales 2002, maca desire and T). |
| Mucuna | 10 mg, 9.8 mg L-DOPA | One uncontrolled study gave 60 stressed infertile men 5 g a day of seed powder for 3 months (Shukla 2010, mucuna in men). |
| Horny goat weed | 10 mg = 80 mg herb | We read no human trial of the extract; reviews describe mostly cell and animal work (Niu 2022, icariin review). |
| Damiana | 10 mg = 50 mg leaf | Claims rest on chemical, cell and animal work; human data come only from blends (Szewczyk 2014, damiana). |
More on each in the ingredient pages and the extract ratio guide.
Zinc and arginine
What about zinc and L-arginine?
Zinc has small studies at the extremes of intake, and arginine has trials in erection problems rather than testosterone.
| Ingredient | Per gummy | What studies found |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc | 2.5 mg (23% DV) | Restriction lowered testosterone in 4 young men; supplements raised it in 9 marginally deficient older men (Prasad 1996, zinc and T). |
| L-arginine | 10 mg | Ten trials in 540 men with mild to moderate erection problems used 1,500 to 5,000 mg a day (Rhim 2019, arginine ED). It can lower blood pressure (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine). |
No trial tested HoneyBoost. Erection problems can be an early sign of heart disease, so see a doctor.

See the priceRed flags
Which label terms are red flags on a testosterone booster?
Red-flag terms are claims that sound like evidence but come without any.
- "Proprietary blend" with one total and no amount per ingredient.
- An extract with no ratio, so no raw-material equivalent.
- "Clinically proven" with no trial of the product named.
- "Lab tested" with no lab report you can read.
- Promised results in days, or "natural, so safe" as a safety claim.
The FTC says health claims need competent and reliable scientific evidence (FTC health products guidance). Safety notes matter too: tongkat ali is rated a possible rare cause of liver injury (LiverTox, tongkat ali), and a Dutch assessment set no safe dose for mucuna (RIVM 2024, mucuna risk assessment). Dark urine, yellow skin or eyes, or belly pain: stop and get medical care.
Applying it
How does the HoneyBoost label do on this checklist?
It does well on printing and poorly on proof: every amount is printed, there is no proprietary blend, and four rows print ratios.
It lacks a trial of the product and a lab report, and the wrap's "Lab Tested, No Artificial Additives" sits beside "artificial color" on the panel. Each ingredient has its own page; see the formula page.
Keep taking prescribed medicine. Chest pain, fainting or trouble breathing: call 911. An erection lasting 4 hours or more: go to the emergency room.

FAQ
Testosterone booster ingredients: quick questions
What does the tongkat ali evidence look like?
A pooled analysis of 5 randomized trials reported higher total testosterone, and its authors say more research is required. Studies used 200 mg a day of extract, and a HoneyBoost gummy holds 25 mg. No trial tested HoneyBoost.
Does zinc raise testosterone?
Only in a narrow case: a small 1996 study found supplements raised testosterone in 9 marginally deficient older men, and a folate plus zinc analysis found no change in sub-fertile men. The recommended level for men is 11 mg a day.
Is a proprietary blend a red flag?
It can be, because one total hides each amount, so you cannot compare it with studied doses. HoneyBoost prints every amount in milligrams and has no proprietary blend, though no trial tested the product and no lab report is on file.
