KSM-66 is a branded ashwagandha root extract made by Ixoreal Biomed, and it's the extract used in published trials, including the strength study below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stress side, in plain English: when you're under pressure, your body releases cortisol, the hormone that keeps you alert and running. That's useful in short bursts and wearing when it never shuts off. Ashwagandha is studied as an adaptogen, an herb that helps the body handle that load. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/38140274\/\"\u003eA systematic review of 9 clinical studies in people under stress\u003c\/a\u003e found ashwagandha lowered cortisol over 30 to 112 days, with no significant side effects reported.† The candid part: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/40746175\/\"\u003ea 2025 meta-analysis\u003c\/a\u003e pooled 7 trials and found cortisol dropped by about 1.16 µg\/dL on average, but across 6 trials that asked people how stressed they felt, the change wasn't statistically significant. The cortisol result holds up in both reviews; the \"I feel calmer\" result is less clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe training side: in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26609282\/\"\u003ean 8-week randomized trial in 57 healthy men\u003c\/a\u003e aged 18 to 50 with little lifting experience, everyone followed the same resistance program while taking 300 mg of KSM-66 twice a day or a placebo. Bench-press max went up 46 kg in the ashwagandha group versus 26 kg with placebo.† Testosterone rose by 96 ng\/dL versus 18 ng\/dL with placebo, though end-of-study levels weren't statistically different between the groups. More broadly, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/42356302\/\"\u003ea 2026 meta-analysis of 13 trials and 599 people\u003c\/a\u003e found ashwagandha improved exercise performance on average, most consistently for aerobic endurance; strength effects were positive but less certain.†\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine print: one serving of Maximum Male has 300 mg of KSM-66. The strength trial used 600 mg a day, and that 2026 meta-analysis found 500 to 600 mg a day was the best-supported range. Read these studies as the case for the ingredient, not a promise for a single serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTribulus terrestris fruit: 600 mg\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTribulus is a low, sprawling plant with spiny, burr-like fruit, and that fruit has been used as a tonic in traditional medicine since ancient times. The Maximum Male label lists 600 mg of tribulus fruit per serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll often see tribulus sold as a testosterone booster. The research doesn't back that up. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24559105\/\"\u003eA systematic review of human and animal studies\u003c\/a\u003e concluded tribulus appears ineffective for raising testosterone in people; the only human increases it found came when tribulus was part of a combined supplement. In \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15994038\/\"\u003ea 4-week randomized study of 21 healthy men aged 20 to 36\u003c\/a\u003e, tribulus extract didn't change testosterone, androstenedione or luteinizing hormone compared with placebo.

Our extract is standardized to 10% icariin, the flavonoid researchers track in this plant. Human research on horny goat weed is thin, so we make no specific claims for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 395 mg blend: muira puama, ginkgo, ginger and oysters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuira puama is the root of a small Amazonian tree used as a tonic in Brazilian folk tradition; \"4:1\" means four parts root were concentrated into one part extract. Ginkgo extract comes from the fan-shaped leaves of the ginkgo tree, standardized here to 24% ginkgo flavonglycosides and 6% triterpene lactones. The freeze-dried oysters are why the label carries a shellfish allergen statement. Oysters are known as a food source of zinc, but the Supplement Facts panel doesn't list zinc, so don't count on Maximum Male for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label gives the blend's 395 mg total, not each ingredient's share, so we don't make claims for any of the four on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take Maximum Male\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label directions: \"Take two tablets per day, as a dietary supplement.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur suggestions: take both tablets together, or one in the morning and one in the evening (the strength trial split its doses between waking and bedtime). The label doesn't mention food, so that's your call. Either way, take it daily: the strength trial ran 8 weeks, and the cortisol studies ran 30 to 112 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum Male contains molluscan shellfish (from oysters).

The strongest evidence in this formula is for ashwagandha: in the 8-week strength trial above, men taking 600 mg a day of KSM-66 (twice the amount in one serving) saw testosterone rise more than men on placebo, though end-of-study levels weren't statistically different. Tribulus, despite its reputation, didn't change testosterone in healthy young men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long before I notice a difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it about two months of daily use.† The studies above ran 8 weeks for strength and 30 to 112 days for cortisol, so a week or two is too soon to judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I take Maximum Male with Men's Multi or Men's 50+?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

cholecalciferol (D3), the form your skin makes. The 25 mcg here is 1,000 IU. NIH sets the adult target at 15 mcg through age 70 and 20 mcg after, with an upper limit of 100 mcg a day from all sources. A meta-analysis of head-to-head trials found D3 raised blood vitamin D levels more than D2 overall, but when dosing schedules were compared the edge held for large, infrequent doses and disappeared with daily dosing like this (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22552031\/\"\u003eTripkovic 2012\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB12 is methylcobalamin, one of the two coenzyme forms the body runs on. Research hasn't shown one supplemental B12 form beats another; after 50, the point is getting B12 in supplement form at all. Folate comes from calcium folinate, a reduced folate that skips the conversion steps folic acid needs before your body can use it. Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, biotin and pantothenic acid round out the B vitamins that support normal energy metabolism.† Vitamin E is d-alpha-tocopherol, the form found in food, and vitamin K is K2 as MK-7, a long-lasting menaquinone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMinerals, mostly bound to amino acids or citrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is bound to methionine, selenium comes as selenomethionine, and chromium, molybdenum and magnesium are amino acid chelates.

We've been making supplements in Oregon since 1974, and we're not getting old either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much DHEA is in each capsule?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach vegetarian capsule contains 25 mg of DHEA, and the label's serving is one capsule a day, so a 60-capsule bottle lasts 60 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I take DHEA, and does it need food?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label doesn't say, so choose a time you'll stick with. The 1994 trial had people take it at night, but that was study design, not a rule. If your practitioner has a preference, follow it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long before I notice anything?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's no guaranteed timeline, and some people notice nothing. In studies using 50 mg a day, blood DHEA-S rose within about 2 weeks, and well-being was measured after 3 months. If you're unsure whether it's doing anything for you, check in with your practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs DHEA for men or women?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth. Men and women make DHEA, and both took part in the studies above. In the 1994 trial, androgen levels doubled in women taking 50 mg while men saw only a small change. The label lists \"hair growth on the face (in women)\" among possible side effects. It's for adults 18 and older only, and not for use during pregnancy or nursing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I take it with one of your multivitamins?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck with your practitioner first, since the label asks you to talk with a physician or licensed qualified health care professional before combining DHEA with any other dietary supplement or drug. Our multivitamins don't contain DHEA, so you wouldn't be doubling up, and a multi covers everyday vitamins and minerals that DHEA doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs DHEA safe to take with my medication?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk your practitioner before you start. The label asks you to consult a physician or licensed qualified health care professional if you use any prescription or over-the-counter drug. Bring the bottle so they can see exactly what's in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeep learning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompanions to discuss with your practitioner:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mtangelvitamins.com\/products\/mens-multi-vitamin-60-capsules\"\u003eMen's Multi, a daily multivitamin for men\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mtangelvitamins.com\/products\/womens-multi-cap-60ct\"\u003eWomen's Multi, a daily multivitamin for women\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mtangelvitamins.com\/products\/mens-50-plus-multivitamin\"\u003eMen's 50+ Multivitamin, built for men over 50\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mtangelvitamins.com\/products\/womens-50-plus-multivitamin\"\u003eWomen's 50+ Multivitamin, built for women over 50\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mtangelvitamins.com\/products\/b-good-com-vitamin-b-complex\"\u003eB-Complex, a vitamin B complex in one daily capsule\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReferences\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrentreich N et al.
