1. Muira Puama Extract
Amount: Part of the 82 mg proprietary blend (individual amount not disclosed) · Group: Vitality botanicals
What it is
Muira puama is a small tree native to the Brazilian Amazon, botanically Ptychopetalum olacoides. The bark and root are the parts used, and they have been prepared as infusions and tinctures in traditional Amazonian practice for a very long time. English-speaking herbal literature has carried the nickname “potency wood” for well over a century, which tells you plainly what it has traditionally been associated with.
Its general role
In modern supplement formulas muira puama sits in the men's vitality group. It is not a stimulant and it is not a hormone. It is a traditional botanical included for general vitality, energy and the sense of drive that men in this category are usually looking to support.
Why it is in Max Force
Max Force leads its blend with muira puama, and that ordering is deliberate — ingredients are listed by weight, so it is the largest single component of the 82 mg blend. It anchors the traditional side of the formula, the part built on botanicals with long histories rather than recent isolates.
How it relates to the product's purpose
It connects to the product's core purpose directly: supporting daily vitality and an active lifestyle in adult men. Paired with catuaba, which comes from the same traditional South American context, it gives the formula a coherent botanical base rather than a random assortment.

2. Maca Root Extract
Amount: Part of the 82 mg proprietary blend (individual amount not disclosed) · Group: Stamina and endurance
What it is
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root vegetable in the brassica family — a relative of broccoli and radish — grown on the Peruvian altiplano at altitudes above 12,000 feet. It is a food first and a supplement second: Andean communities have eaten dried and cooked maca for centuries, and it remains a staple crop there rather than a niche herb.
Its general role
Maca is the best-known stamina ingredient in men's wellness formulas. It is used to help maintain physical endurance and energy levels for people with active routines. Because it is a food-grade root rather than a concentrated stimulant, it fits naturally into a daily formula.
Why it is in Max Force
Every broad men's formula needs an endurance anchor, and maca is the obvious choice. It sits second in the Max Force blend by weight, right behind muira puama, which places it among the formula's larger components.
How it relates to the product's purpose
Endurance is one of the four areas Max Force is built around. Maca covers it from the nutritional side while L-arginine covers it from the circulation side — two different routes to the same practical outcome of having more left in the tank late in the day.

3. Catuaba Extract
Amount: Part of the 82 mg proprietary blend (individual amount not disclosed) · Group: Vitality botanicals
What it is
Catuaba is bark from several small Brazilian trees, most commonly Trichilia catigua or Erythroxylum vaccinifolium. In Brazil it is traditionally prepared as a bark infusion and it is one of the country's most widely used herbal preparations for men. It typically appears alongside muira puama, which is how it appears here.
Its general role
Catuaba belongs to the traditional vitality group. It is included in men's formulas to support general wellness, motivation and the feeling of being switched on rather than flat — the softer, harder-to-measure side of what men mean when they say they want their drive back.
Why it is in Max Force
Its presence gives the Max Force blend depth in the vitality category rather than relying on one botanical to carry it. Traditional formulas have paired catuaba with muira puama for generations, and Max Force follows that pattern.
How it relates to the product's purpose
Vitality and motivation are explicitly part of what the product is designed to support. Catuaba addresses that area directly and complements the more mechanistic ingredients like L-arginine.

4. Green Tea Extract & Caffeine (5 mg)
Amount: Green tea extract is part of the 82 mg blend; caffeine is stated at 5 mg per serving · Group: Light energy support
What it is
Green tea extract is concentrated from the leaves of Camellia sinensis and carries the plant's polyphenols, including the catechin group. The caffeine is listed separately on the panel at 5 mg per serving — the only ingredient in the entire blend with a disclosed individual amount, and a very small one. A standard cup of brewed coffee sits somewhere around 95 mg.
Its general role
Together these two provide the formula's light energy support. Green tea contributes its own plant compounds while the small caffeine dose adds a mild lift in alertness. The pairing is a common one because caffeine from tea sources tends to be described as smoother than an equivalent dose taken alone.
Why it is in Max Force
This is the most revealing choice in the whole formula. Max Force could easily have loaded 150 mg of caffeine and given every buyer something to feel immediately. Choosing 5 mg says the product is designed to be taken every day for months, not to impress you on day one.
How it relates to the product's purpose
Steady energy is the first thing Max Force claims to support, and a small daily amount of stimulant support is a far better fit for that than a large intermittent one. It also keeps the gummy usable for men who are sensitive to caffeine — though anyone avoiding stimulants entirely should note it is present.

5. Ashwagandha
Amount: Part of the 82 mg proprietary blend (individual amount not disclosed) · Group: Stress balance and focus
What it is
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), sometimes called Indian ginseng or winter cherry, is a shrub native to India, the Middle East and parts of Africa. The root has been central to Ayurvedic practice for thousands of years and it is now one of the most widely used herbs in the global supplement market.
Its general role
Ashwagandha is classed as an adaptogen — a group of herbs traditionally used to help the body cope with normal everyday stress. In supplement formulas it is generally included to support stress balance, steadier mood and, indirectly, focus and energy.
Why it is in Max Force
It is arguably the smartest inclusion in the Max Force blend. Men who feel drained often are not short of stimulation; they are carrying a lot of stress. Adding an adaptogen addresses that upstream rather than masking it with more caffeine.
How it relates to the product's purpose
Focus and stress management are two of the areas the product is built to support, and this is the ingredient carrying both. It also explains why the caffeine content can stay so low — the formula is not relying on stimulation to produce a sense of capability.

6. L-Arginine
Amount: Part of the 82 mg proprietary blend (individual amount not disclosed) · Group: Circulation support
What it is
L-arginine is an amino acid. The body makes some of its own and gets the rest from protein in food — meat, dairy, nuts and legumes are all sources. It is described as conditionally essential, meaning demand can outstrip supply during periods of stress or heavy physical demand.
Its general role
Its best-known function is as a precursor in the body's production of nitric oxide, a signalling molecule involved in relaxing and widening blood vessels. That is why L-arginine appears in so many performance and circulation-support formulas.
Why it is in Max Force
It is the most mechanistically direct ingredient in Max Force. Where the botanicals rest on long traditional use, L-arginine has a clear, well-described biological role, and it gives the circulation side of the formula a concrete basis.
How it relates to the product's purpose
Healthy blood flow sits underneath almost everything else the product claims to support. Oxygen and nutrients reach working muscle through the circulatory system, so supporting circulation supports endurance, performance and recovery at the same time.

7. Tribulus Terrestris
Amount: Part of the 82 mg proprietary blend (individual amount not disclosed) · Group: Vitality botanicals
What it is
Tribulus terrestris is a low-growing plant found across southern Europe, Africa and Asia, known in English as puncture vine. The fruit and aerial parts are used, and it has a place in both traditional Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese preparations.
Its general role
Tribulus has been a fixture in men's sports and vitality supplements for several decades. It is generally included to support physical performance and the vitality side of a formula, and it is one of the ingredients most men in this category will already recognise from a label.
Why it is in Max Force
Its inclusion broadens the traditional group beyond the South American botanicals, drawing on a different herbal tradition for the same general purpose. It gives the blend more than one cultural source for its vitality support.
How it relates to the product's purpose
Physical performance is one of the three words on the front of the bottle. Tribulus is a long-standing choice for that part of a men's formula and it works alongside maca and L-arginine on the endurance side.

8. Horny Goat Weed Extract
Amount: Part of the 82 mg proprietary blend (individual amount not disclosed) · Group: Circulation and vitality
What it is
Horny goat weed is the common name for plants in the Epimedium genus, known in traditional Chinese medicine as yin yang huo. The leaves are the part used and the plant has been documented in Chinese herbal texts for well over a thousand years.
Its general role
In men's supplement formulas epimedium is normally grouped with the circulation-support and vitality ingredients. It is a traditional botanical rather than an isolated compound, and it is one of the most recognisable names in this category.
Why it is in Max Force
It sits at the end of the Max Force blend by weight, which puts it among the smaller components, but it reinforces the same areas L-arginine and catuaba cover. Formulas in this category commonly pair the two, and Max Force follows that convention.
How it relates to the product's purpose
Circulation and vitality are core to what the product is designed to support, and epimedium contributes to both from the traditional side of the formula.
