Every Horse Peak Gelatin Ingredient, Explained

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen used for centuries in Ayurvedic practice, and it's also the most rigorously studied ingredient in this formula. Multiple randomised, placebo-controlled trials — typically run at 300–600mg of standardised root extract per day for 8–12 weeks — report measurable reductions in cortisol and self-reported stress, with several also noting improvements in energy and, in some male-specific trials, testosterone.

The catch: those results come from specific, disclosed doses of standardised extract. Horse Peak Gelatin doesn't publish how much Ashwagandha is in each gummy or which extract standardization is used, so there's no way to check whether the formula is anywhere near the studied range.

A Southeast Asian root traditionally used for male vitality. Several small human trials — mostly using 200–400mg of standardised extract — report modest testosterone and mood improvements, concentrated in men who started with low-normal levels. The evidence base is real but modest in size: this isn't a heavily-studied ingredient compared to Ashwagandha.

Again, no dose is published here, and Tongkat Ali extract potency varies enormously between suppliers — a detail that matters more for this ingredient than most.

Beet Root is rich in dietary nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide — a molecule that relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. This is one of the more reliably reproduced effects in supplement research, with solid trial data on exercise performance and blood pressure at gram-level doses of beet root extract or juice concentrate.

The gap here is familiar: effective study doses are typically in the multi-gram range, and a single gummy has very limited total volume once you account for the other six ingredients and the gummy base itself.

Another nitric-oxide pathway ingredient, working alongside Beet Root toward the same circulation claims. L-Arginine has a longer research history than most ingredients here, but a well-known limitation: taken orally, a meaningful portion is broken down before it reaches circulation, which is part of why many newer formulas favor L-Citrulline instead.

Horse Peak Gelatin uses the older, less bioavailable form, at an undisclosed amount — two separate reasons to temper expectations on this specific claim.

A Peruvian root vegetable with a long traditional-use history for libido and stamina. Human trial evidence is real but inconsistent — some small studies report modest libido or mood benefits, others find no significant effect versus placebo, and results seem to depend heavily on which of Maca's color varieties (yellow, red, black) and extract type is used.

Horse Peak Gelatin's label doesn't specify a Maca variety or dose, which is exactly the kind of detail that determines whether this ingredient does anything at all.

Epimedium's active compound, icariin, is a genuinely interesting molecule in preclinical research — it's been studied for effects on blood flow and erectile tissue in animal models with some promising signals. The problem is that the jump from animal studies to confirmed human benefit hasn't really been made yet: well-controlled human trials on Epimedium extract for libido or performance are scarce.

This is a case where “traditional use” and “early-stage lab research” are doing more work than “established clinical evidence.”

Grape Seed extract is a reasonably well-studied antioxidant, with research mostly centered on cardiovascular markers — blood pressure, circulation, oxidative stress — rather than on vitality, stamina or libido directly. It's a legitimate general-wellness ingredient.

In this formula, it reads more like a supporting cast member than a driver of the headline “boost performance, enhance stamina, support confidence” claims on the bottle.
