    it doesn’t really have calories, so why add it? Otherwise make your own entry. But this is totally useless for anything. You won’t turn from a pony into a stallion from this.

    or a horny goat.

    I mean, it’s in the ingredient list…..


    Seriously look close at the ingredient list and supplement contents. It’s lists “leaf and stems” but no indication leaf and stems of what. Fruit “piperine”, however piperine comes from pepper. Several ingredients fenugreek is lists seeds “fenuside”, which is fenugreek all over again.

    At the price they’re probably charging, I’d just add pepper and fenugreek to my spice cabinet if you feel like it’s helping.

    Seems to be a lot capsule of hype imho.

    And here's a bit of advice from auntie Yirara: no woman will care about the size or shape of your kitten, no woman will care about how stiff it gets, how much sperm, or many other things that this forum will turn into kittens because apparently those are naughty words. They will care about you being a good human being, and one at that who doesn't spend money on useless *kitten*. If you want to get more muscles then you'll need to work on them. No supplement in the world will make them pop up suddenly. And again, most women don't care about ripped guys who spend most of their time in the gym or fuss about those extra 10g of protein.

    edit: ok, things got kittened that I didn't expect to be kittened, while others didn't. The forum is broken.

    You can add it as a food in My Foods in MFP, but it will only be able to reflect the carbohydrates and Vitamin D, since MFP doesn't track the other nutrients. If it were me, and I wanted to take those, I'd only add it as a food if I wanted someplace to note that I'd taken them that day. The MFP tracking info isn't all that helpful in this case.

    A few of those things are nutrients quite a few people get suboptimal amounts of, like Vitamin D, but others are things that most people get plenty of as long as they eat a remotely adequate range of normal foods. You might want to spot-check your nutrition before spending $44.95 for a month's supply (according to one mainstream online pharmacy site). There are definitely more affordable ways to get many of those, if you do need to supplement. Food sources are preferable to supplements, if you can get enough that way, besides.

    I don't know what's motivating you to choose this supplement, but if some of its advertised claims are genuinely a problem, I'd advise a potential consumer to see their doctor first, as underlying issues may be more serious than supplements can address. I'm not trying to be scary, honestly, just real. Maybe think of me as your concerned old internet auntie, because I'd betcha I'm old enough.

    Beyond that, I agree with women above. If you have nutrient deficiencies or medical issues, by all means work to improve those. The medical issues in particular are important, for a variety of reasons. But if any of the impulse to take something like this is coming from - for lack of still clear but less pejorative terms - the manosphere or gym bro influencers, their advice in general is very much not related to what actual women actually want in a partner. Alternatively, if the issue is body composition or fitness progress, that's an area where I'm somewhat knowledgeable, and the ingredients are not high return supplements on that front, either, unless there's deficiency in the specific nutrient.

    in a nutshell, you’re putting a lot of faith in either kind of Trojan working as advertised.

    and sir, we don’t mean to pick on you. We want you to get your ultimate goal.

    We’re here doing the same thing ourselves.

    I’ve done some stupid stuff, too. Some here may remember my “grounding blanket” that was supposed to remove excess electricity or whatever and improve sleep. Man, I was sooooooo excited to try that thing. The testimonials were stellar.

    🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

    Sometimes, that $50 or $100 you waste is as good as any formal education.

    Just use your noggin.
