Horsewood Ingredients: Full 7-Ingredient Breakdown
What each ingredient does, published doses, extract ratios, and what the available research says.
Horsewood uses seven botanical ingredients in a two-capsule daily format. The formula combines seven botanicals commonly positioned around three areas of male vitality: hormonal support, circulation, and endurance. Four ingredients have individually published doses. Three disclose names but not individual amounts.
Quick Summary: 7 botanicals: Tongkat Ali 10mg (100:1 extract, ~1,000mg raw equivalent), Horny Goat Weed 8mg (10:1 extract), Saw Palmetto 20mg, Boron Chelate 20mg, Nettle Leaf, Wild Yam, Sarsaparilla. Stimulant-free, no synthetic hormones. Made in USA, FDA-registered facility.
Testosterone & Hormonal Support
Tongkat Ali — 10mg (100:1 extract). The label indicates 10mg of a 100:1 concentrated extract, equivalent in raw material terms to approximately 1,000mg of root. Tongkat Ali is one of the most studied botanicals for male hormonal support, and human research suggests that certain extracts may influence testosterone levels, although results vary depending on the extract, dose, and population studied. It has also been researched in relation to energy, vitality, and physical performance. The 100:1 ratio indicates the concentration of the extract, but does not by itself establish clinical equivalence with the doses or preparations used in specific studies.
Nettle Leaf (dose not published). Nettle contains compounds that have been studied for their possible interaction with SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin) and for their potential role in prostate health and hormonal balance. However, much of the available literature involves specific nettle preparations, especially the root, and the mechanisms observed in laboratory studies cannot be automatically translated into an increase in free testosterone in humans. The individual dose is not published on the label, which limits direct comparison with research quantities.
Boron Amino Acid Chelate — 20mg. Boron is a trace mineral that has been studied for its possible role in hormonal metabolism. Human research has evaluated its effects on testosterone and other hormones, but results are limited and inconsistent, varying by dose and duration. At 20mg, the declared amount in this formula is higher than the doses used in some human studies, so it is not appropriate to assume that those study results apply directly to this formula. 20mg is also at the adult tolerable upper intake level established by the U.S. National Academies, so this is an ingredient worth discussing with a healthcare professional before long-term use. The specific form declared on the label is an amino acid chelate.
Saw Palmetto — 20mg (berry extract). Saw palmetto extracts have been studied for their possible influence on 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT, as well as for traditional use and research related to prostate health. However, clinical results on these effects are mixed, and activity observed in laboratory studies should not be automatically interpreted as increasing or preserving testosterone. At 20mg, the declared amount is below the 160–320mg range used in some saw palmetto preparation studies. Direct comparisons are limited because extract composition and standardization can vary.
Circulation & Blood Flow
Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) — 8mg (10:1 extract). Contains icariin, a bioactive flavonoid that has been studied for its possible influence on the nitric oxide pathway and other mechanisms related to vascular function. Nitric oxide participates in blood vessel relaxation and blood flow regulation, processes relevant to cardiovascular and erectile function. The 10:1 ratio means approximately 80mg of raw material was used to produce 8mg of extract. Icariin has also been studied for its possible interaction with PDE5, an enzyme involved in blood flow regulation and the same pharmacological target of PDE5 medications used for erectile dysfunction. However, activity observed in experimental studies should not be interpreted as equivalent to the action of prescription medications. Possible medication interactions are discussed in our side effects analysis.
Endurance & Adaptogenic Support
Wild Yam (dose not published). Contains diosgenin, a naturally occurring steroidal saponin that has been studied for different biological properties. Wild Yam also has a traditional use history related to vitality and well-being. However, available clinical evidence does not support the conclusion that diosgenin directly increases testosterone or physical endurance.
Sarsaparilla (dose not published). Contains steroidal saponins and has a traditional use history related to vitality and well-being. Some sarsaparilla components have been studied in laboratory research, but clinical evidence for specific effects on physical endurance, stress adaptation, or male performance remains limited. The individual dose is not published on the label.
What Makes This Formula Different
Multi-pathway approach. Many male vitality supplements focus on one specific area, such as hormonal support or circulation. Horsewood combines ingredients studied in different areas: testosterone (Tongkat Ali, Nettle Leaf, Boron), circulation (Epimedium), vitality and endurance (Wild Yam, Sarsaparilla), and prostate health (Saw Palmetto), brought together in one daily formula.
Concentrated extracts. Tongkat Ali (100:1) and Epimedium (10:1) are provided as concentrated extracts. The ratios indicate that a larger amount of raw material was used to produce a smaller amount of extract, allowing these ingredients to be included in smaller per-capsule quantities. The concentration ratio alone does not determine clinical potency and does not necessarily mean an extract contains more specific bioactive compounds than another.
Transparency note. Four of seven ingredients have individually published doses. Three (Nettle Leaf, Wild Yam, Sarsaparilla) have their names disclosed but not the quantities. No clinical trial of the finished Horsewood formula has been published — the available evidence refers to individual ingredients studied independently.
