Answers based on this product's own information.
Swanson Horny Goat Weed Complex is a capsule-based dietary supplement that combines horny goat weed extract (Epimedium spp.) standardized to 10% icariins with Tribulus terrestris extract standardized to 45% saponins, maca (Lepidium meyenii) and Mucuna pruriens. It comes in a 60-capsule pack and is intended for daily use according to the manufacturer’s directions. The active ingredients are listed with amounts per 2-capsule serving, while the other ingredients include rice flour and gelatin. This is a botanical combination formula, and no Daily Values are established for these ingredients. Store appropriately and follow the label warnings, especially if you use medications or have known health conditions.
Tribulus terrestris is a herbaceous plant from the Zygophyllaceae family, widely known in botanical literature as “puncture vine”, with product uses typically involving the fruit, aerial parts, and root. In food supplements it is most often found as a plant powder or as a dry extract, frequently standardised for steroidal saponins (e.g., furostanol glycosides) and sometimes declared with a percentage of protodioscin, depending on plant part and origin. The chemical profile of extracts can vary markedly with chemotype, extraction method, and standardisation approach, so labels may also specify an extract ratio (e.g., DER) or percentages of defined fractions. In cosmetics it may appear as a botanical extract for topical use, listed under an INCI name that specifies the plant part (for example, a root extract or a fruit/stem extract). In formulations it is commonly combined with other botanicals and carriers such as maltodextrin, while in topical products it may be included in serums, creams, or toners featuring plant extracts.

A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
Statements published by the manufacturer; the Albanian translation is ours. They are not health claims authorised by the EU, and Apoteca has not evaluated them. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. For health questions, consult a doctor.
Horny goat weed refers to several species of the genus Epimedium (Berberidaceae) used as a botanical ingredient in food supplements and, less commonly, in cosmetics. In products it is typically present as powdered aerial parts or as a concentrated extract, often standardised to an icariin content (a marker flavonoid), for example 10% or 20%. Because composition varies by species and extraction method, labels may state “Epimedium spp.” or name a specific species such as Epimedium brevicornum, E. sagittatum, or E. grandiflorum. In supplements it is most often supplied in capsules or tablets as a dry extract, sometimes blended with other botanicals. In cosmetics it may appear as a leaf/stem extract under an INCI name, used in water- or hydroglycol-based formulations.
Maca is the dried hypocotyl-root of the Andean plant Lepidium meyenii (Brassicaceae), known as a traditional food crop from high-altitude regions of Peru. In supplements it most commonly appears as whole-root powder, “gelatinised” powder (processed with heat and pressure to modify the starch fraction), or as a more concentrated extract, sometimes standardised to groups of naturally occurring constituents. Raw material may come from different colour types (e.g., yellow, red, black), which are often stated on labels as part of product identity. Its composition includes carbohydrates and fibre alongside plant-specific compounds such as glucosinolates and macamides, which can vary with origin and processing. It is used in capsules, tablets, drink-mix powders, and blended botanical formulas. In the EU, Lepidium meyenii is listed in the Novel Food Status Catalogue as having been used as food to a significant degree before 15 May 1997, so it is generally not classified as a novel food.
