Quick answer: A product website lists eight HoneyFil ingredients: niacin, zinc, L-citrulline, L-carnitine, pine bark extract, maca root, grape skin extract and saffron. Doses appear only on the bottle's Supplement Facts panel, so check your label.
What we know
An honesty note first
Honesty note: the official checkout does not show the label. A product website lists the eight ingredients below and says doses are shown only on the physical Supplement Facts panel. We do not invent amounts. Always go by the label on your bottle.
For comparison: L-citrulline studies use about 1.5 g, maca 1.5 to 3 g, pine bark 80 to 120 mg and saffron about 30 mg a day. A single gummy weighs a few grams in total, so it is unlikely to hold research doses of every ingredient. Your label will show what it does contain.
The eight listed ingredients
L-Citrulline
Converted in the body to arginine and then nitric oxide, which helps blood vessels relax. A small trial in men with mild erection problems used about 1.5 g a day.
L-citrulline research on PubMedPine bark extract
Rich in procyanidins. Studies of a branded pine bark extract (often 80 to 120 mg a day, sometimes with arginine) report improvements in blood vessel function and erectile scores.
NCCIH on pine bark extractMaca root
A Peruvian root. Small trials at 1.5 to 3 g a day suggest modest effects on desire, without changing hormones.
Maca research on PubMedSaffron (stigma extract)
A few small trials, usually at 30 mg a day, looked at mood and sexual function, including in men on antidepressants. Results are promising but limited.
Saffron research on PubMedL-Carnitine and niacin (vitamin B3)
Carnitine helps cells use fat for energy; niacin is part of energy metabolism and can cause skin flushing at higher doses.
NIH fact sheet on niacinZinc and grape skin extract
Zinc supports normal testosterone in men who are deficient; grape skin provides resveratrol and other polyphenols.
