Staminol
GNC Men's
Overview
GNC Men's Staminol appears to be largely ineffective for its stated purposes due to severe underdosing of almost all active ingredients, particularly those within the proprietary blend and the standalone herbal components. Critical ingredients like L-Arginine, Maca, Oat Straw, GABA, and Saw Palmetto are present at negligible levels compared to clinically effective doses. The proprietary blend further obscures the exact amounts of key ingredients, making it impossible to ascertain their individual contribution or efficacy. While Yohimbe is at a potentially active but risky dose, the overall formulation suffers from a lack of significant amounts of most beneficial compounds.
The Good
Includes a small amount of Calcium, which is essential for bone health, though not a primary benefit of this product.
Contains herbs traditionally associated with male performance and vitality, such as Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) and Maca, although at likely ineffective doses.
GABA is included, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which has some research supporting sleep and stress markers, but the dose is likely too low.
The Bad
Proprietary Blend obscures ingredient dosages, making efficacy and safety assessment difficult.
Yohimbe Bark Extract has significant safety concerns, including potential for serious cardiovascular and neurological side effects.
Many ingredients are likely underdosed based on research, leading to questionable effectiveness.
