The Men's Vitality Formula — Stamina, Well-Being & Stress Balance

Four ingredients studied for supporting men's daily vitality, stamina, and a healthy response to everyday stress — not a hormone therapy, and not a testosterone claim.

This is a research-grounded starter formula — not a standardized finished product. Doses are evidence-based maintenance recommendations for healthy adults. Individual responses vary. Consult your physician before starting any supplement regimen, especially if you have a medical condition or take prescription medications.

The Formula

4 ingredients · 6 capsules/day · Each dose is study-attributed — see citations in line.

EuryGold 5®Tongkat Ali (as EuryGold 5®)

200 mg

A randomized clinical trial in men (Ismail et al. 2012, PMID 23243445) evaluated a standardized water extract of Eurycoma longifolia and found it was associated with improvements in measures of quality of life and well-being versus baseline. Research suggests Tongkat Ali may support healthy daily vitality as part of a balanced lifestyle — this is a structure/function observation, not a treatment for any hormonal condition, and it is not marketed here as raising or boosting testosterone. (PMID 23243445)

Ashwagandha Root Extract

300 mg

A randomized, placebo-controlled trial in adults (Lopresti et al. 2019, PMID 31517876) found a concentrated ashwagandha extract was associated with stress-relieving effects versus placebo. Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic botanical studied for supporting the body's healthy response to everyday stress, which is closely tied to the stress-response (HPA) axis. (PMID 31517876)

Maca (10:1 Extract)

500 mg

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in adults (Gonzales-Arimborgo et al. 2016, PMID 27548190) evaluated oral maca extract and found it was associated with improved measures of mood and well-being versus placebo. Research suggests maca may support a healthy sense of balance and well-being as part of a balanced lifestyle. (PMID 27548190)

Albion® Zinc Bisglycinate ChelateZinc (as Albion® Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate)

15 mg

A 2021 review (Gröber & Holick, PMID 33487035) describes zinc as an essential immune-relevant micronutrient supporting normal cellular function. Maintaining adequate zinc status is thought to support overall wellness as part of a balanced diet — FormulaForge uses the bisglycinate chelate form for improved absorption over zinc oxide. (PMID 33487035)

Form Quality Gaps

The commodity versions most single-ingredient bottles use — and why they fall short.

FormulaForge FormCommodity DefaultWhat the Research Shows
Tongkat Ali as EuryGold 5® standardized water extractUnstandardized Eurycoma longifolia root powderThe positive quality-of-life trial (Ismail et al. 2012, PMID 23243445) used a standardized water extract at a defined dose — not raw root powder, where the concentration of the compounds studied (quassinoids and eurypeptides) is undisclosed and highly variable.
Zinc Bisglycinate ChelateZinc OxideChelated mineral forms like Albion® zinc bisglycinate are bound to an amino acid carrier for improved gastrointestinal uptake and tolerability compared to inorganic zinc oxide, the most common — and poorly absorbed — form in budget multivitamins.
Ashwagandha standardized root extractUnstandardized ashwagandha powderThe randomized trial supporting ashwagandha's stress-response findings (PMID 31517876) used a standardized, concentrated root extract — not raw powder, which varies widely in withanolide content and has not been studied at the doses shown effective in trials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this formula raise or boost testosterone?

No. This formula does not make a testosterone-boosting claim, and it does not contain DHEA or any ingredient marketed for that purpose. The cited research describes structure/function support for daily vitality, stamina, and a healthy stress response — not hormone-level changes. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, and this product is not a substitute for hormone therapy. If you have a diagnosed hormonal condition, consult your physician.

Is this formula a treatment for low testosterone or erectile dysfunction?

No. This is a research-grounded starter formula for healthy adults focused on daily vitality and well-being — not a treatment for low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, or any diagnosed medical condition. Consult a qualified healthcare provider for any hormone-related or sexual-health concern.

Why is EuryGold 5® listed with a PMID instead of marked provisional?

FormulaForge identified a real, direction-consistent randomized clinical trial (Ismail et al. 2012, PMID 23243445) on a standardized Eurycoma longifolia water extract that supports the quality-of-life and well-being framing used here. We only attach a citation to a claim when the underlying study genuinely supports it — the trial does not measure testosterone, so we don't make a testosterone claim.

Can women take this formula?

This formula is formulated and dosed around research conducted in men. Women interested in similar adaptogenic and mineral support should review our Women's Wellness or Hormone Balance content, and consult their physician before use.
