Horse Honey Supplement Facts, Line By Line
The whole panel as printed, including the two words it spells wrong.
The Horse Honey Supplement Facts panel gives a serving size of 2 capsules and 30 servings per container. Below that it prints one line: Test Boost Proprietary Blend, 1,200 mg, Daily Value not established. Underneath sit eight ingredients with no amounts: horny goat weed extract, tongkat ali powder, saw palmetto extract, nettle extract, wild yam extract, sarsaparilla, orchic substance and boron amino acid chelate. The other ingredients are calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and a gelatin capsule.

The Horse Honey blend, and what sits inside it
One row in the table, because the panel has one row. The eight names underneath it are the whole disclosure.
| What the panel prints | Amount per 2-capsule serving | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Test Boost Proprietary Blend | 1200 mg | Daily Value not established |
- 1. Horny Goat Weed Extract (Epimedium Sagittatum) Leaf — for its icariin
- 2. Tongkat Ali Powder (Eurycoma Longifolia Jack) Root — for its eurycomanone
- 3. Saw Palmetto Extract (Serenoa Repens) Fruit — for its fatty acids and sterols
- 4. Nettle Extract (Urtica Dioica L.) Root — for its lignans
- 5. Wild Yam Extract (Dioscorea Opposita) Root — for its diosgenin
- 6. Sarsaparilla (Smilax Glabra Roxb.) Root — for its saponins
- 7. Orchic Substance — for its bovine testicle tissue
- 8. Boron Amino Acid Chelate — for its boron
Under 21 CFR 101.36(c) a proprietary blend declares one total weight and lists its ingredients in descending order of predominance by weight. Individual amounts are not required. So horny goat weed weighs the most and boron the least, and that is the entire quantitative disclosure on this label.
Other ingredientsCalcium Carbonate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Sodium Starch Glycolate, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Gelatin Capsule.
The footnote, exactly as printed“*Dally Value Not Establlshed” — two misspellings in four words. The bottle prints Dally for Daily and Establlshed for Established. We reproduce the panel as printed rather than correcting a manufacturer’s label.
How the Horse Honey blend compares to the research
The only honest way to draw this label: each research dose as a share of the entire 1,200 mg blend.
Research dose as a share of the blend100%% = the entire 1,200 mg, all eight combinedshare of the blend total
Saw palmetto, nettle root, wild yam, sarsaparilla and orchic substance have no established dose that we could verify for this use, so there is nothing to plot. For three of them the reason is that the evidence does not support the use at all: the body cannot convert wild yam’s diosgenin into a hormone, and orchic substance has no good evidence behind it.
No bar here is an amount in the product, because no amount is published. Each bar is the size of the hole a single ingredient's research dose would punch in the total if that ingredient took the whole blend.
What a fuller panel would have printed, and this one does not
Four disclosures are standard in this category. The right-hand column is what each would have told you.
| Standard disclosure | On this label | What it would have told you |
|---|---|---|
| An amount for each active ingredient | Absent. One 1,200 mg total for eight | Whether the tongkat ali reaches the 200 mg its trial used. This is the single most useful number a men's supplement can print. |
| A standardisation percentage on each extract | Absent on all of them | How much icariin is in the horny goat weed, how much eurycomanone in the tongkat ali, what fatty acid content the saw palmetto carries. Without it, a milligram figure would still not be comparable to a trial. |
| A Daily Value where one exists | Not established, printed for the blend | Correct for a botanical blend. Boron, though, has an established upper limit of 20 mg a day, and no amount is given for it either. |
| The part of the plant used | Present, and it is the label's best feature | Leaf, root, fruit and root again. The panel names the plant part for all seven botanicals and gives Latin binomials for six of them, which is more care than the rest of the panel shows. |
That last row is worth dwelling on. Somebody who did not care would not have printed a Latin binomial and a plant part for each botanical. The detail on this label is good; the dosing disclosure is not.
The footnote, and why we have not corrected it
Underneath the blend, where a label carries its Daily Value footnote, this one prints: “*Dally Value Not Establlshed”. Two misspellings in four words: Daily and Established.
The word is Daily. We reproduce it as printed for one reason: a site that silently tidies a manufacturer's label is a site whose other transcriptions you cannot check.
It also happens to be useful. A panel retyped by a third party almost always has this fixed, because a person copying it out corrects the spelling without noticing they have done it. So the typo is a small authenticity marker, and it is on the batch verification page for that reason.
None of which makes it a safety issue. It is a proofreading failure on a panel whose larger failure is the empty column beside eight ingredient names.
The rest of the Horse Honey label, off the Supplement Facts box
The front reads Horse HONEY, with Vitalifes above it, and three claim lines: Supports Performance*, Supports Stamina*, Supports Energy*. Below those: ADVANCED FORMULA* and 60 Capsules.
The side panel carries the suggested use, reproduced in full above, and the storage line: keep away from heat, light, and humidity to preserve freshness. It also carries the line “Distributed by : Vitalifes”, with the spacing as printed, and no address, phone number or website beside it.
The back carries the Supplement Facts box, the other-ingredients line, the lot number HOR-26/TH-2631, the expiry date 07-2028, and the FDA statement that every asterisk on the front points at.
The capsule shell is gelatin, which is the last item in the other-ingredients line. Orchic substance, seventh in the blend, is bovine testicle tissue. Neither appears on the front of the bottle, and between them they make this product unsuitable for vegetarians, for vegans, and for anyone avoiding bovine material for religious or personal reasons.

What exactly is in Horse Honey?
One thing: a Test Boost Proprietary Blend of 1,200 mg. Inside it, in printed order, are horny goat weed, tongkat ali, saw palmetto, nettle root, wild yam, sarsaparilla, orchic substance and boron amino acid chelate. No individual amount is published for any of them.
Why are there no individual amounts?
Because the label uses a proprietary blend, which federal rules permit. Under 21 CFR 101.36(c) a blend declares one total weight and lists its ingredients in descending order of predominance by weight. Individual amounts are not required, so you learn the order and never the doses.
What does 1,200 mg split eight ways come to?
About 150 mg each if it were split evenly, and nothing on the label says it is. Blends are almost never even. Horny goat weed is listed first so it weighs the most; boron is listed last so it weighs the least.
Is there honey in Horse Honey?
No. There is no honey on the Supplement Facts panel and none in the other-ingredients line. The name and the listing artwork are built around honey; the label is not.
What is orchic substance?
Bovine testicle tissue. The reference monographs say there is no good scientific evidence to support its use, that it is not clear whether it provides testosterone, and that there is not enough reliable information to know what an appropriate dose would be.
Is Horse Honey vegetarian?
No, on two counts. The capsule shell is gelatin, and the blend contains orchic substance, which is bovine testicle tissue.
How much boron is in it?
Not published. Boron amino acid chelate is last of the eight, so it is the smallest weight in the blend. For scale, typical total boron intake from food and supplements is 1.0 to 1.5 mg a day and the adult upper limit is 20 mg.
