The product

What is Potensal?

Potensal is a food supplement for adult men, sold as a bottle of 30 vegetable capsules: one capsule a day, for a month. Each one carries 601 mg of actives, including 11 mg of zinc and 20 mg of vitamin B3, alongside seven further components such as L-citrulline, maca and saffron.

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood and to normal protein synthesis, while vitamin B3 helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. Thirty days of it, backing your male vitality one morning at a time.

The benefits

What does Potensal actually do?

Energy no longer turns up on its own, and recovery takes its time. Potensal gathers the nutrients that matter to a man into a single capsule: zinc and vitamin B3, both dosed above the reference intake, plus seven further actives rounding out the formula.

Those two nutrients are the backbone of the bottle, and they are the ones behind the three points below. The seven actives alongside them, from L-citrulline through to saffron, fill out the complex without changing the idea behind it: one capsule, every day, for a month.

  • Supports normal testosterone levels

    11 mg of zinc per capsule, which is 110% of the reference intake. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. That is the heart of the formula and its plainest selling point.

  • Backs normal protein synthesis

    That same zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis and to normal macronutrient metabolism. Put plainly, it works with what your meals and your sessions are already doing, day after day, with nothing extra to think about.

  • Reduces tiredness and fatigue

    20 mg of vitamin B3 per capsule, which is 125% of the reference intake. Niacin contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Enough to meet the end of the day on something other than a third coffee.

What it changes

Why run a full month of Potensal?

At forty a man is not asking the same things of his body as he was at twenty-five. Thirty days of Potensal means a daily intake of zinc and niacin across the three fronts where an active man really spends his day.

  • Staying sharp when the day runs long

    Meetings, decisions, a list that keeps growing: the nervous system is at work from the first coffee to the last email. Vitamin B3 contributes to its normal functioning and to normal psychological function. That is 20 mg in every capsule, every day of the month.

  • Looking after your cells, day after day

    Training, short nights, a pace that never quite lets up: the body is working right down to its cells. Zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Nothing you feel from one morning to the next, and something that earns its place across a whole course.

  • A formula aimed squarely at men

    Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction. That is male physiology, plainly stated, and it is no accident that it turns up in a complex put together for adult men.

The mechanism

Why does testosterone fall after 30?

Testosterone production peaks in a young man, then eases off slowly from the thirties onwards. The change is gradual: nothing shows from one year to the next, and it takes a decade for the gap to become noticeable. Age is not working alone either. Short nights, drawn out stress, sitting still, excess weight, alcohol and a poor diet all push in the same direction.

    Energy

    The afternoon dips that keep coming

    End-of-day tiredness comes down to plain things first: how long you slept, how heavy the week is, what you ate, how much you moved. Hormone balance sits somewhere in that picture among many other factors, but a flat afternoon on its own tells you nothing about what is happening in your blood.

  • Man pressing his temples, showing the weight of a busy mind

    Mental load

    Stress that never quite settles

    One-off stress is part of life and it passes. The kind that lasts moves in instead: full weeks, a phone that never stops, no real break anywhere in them. That long-running tension weighs on sleep, on appetite and on any urge to move, and it sits among the lifestyle factors you can genuinely do something about.

  • Man lying awake in bed with his head on the pillow

    Sleep

    What short nights have to do with it

    Hormone release follows a daily rhythm, and most of it happens overnight, across the sleep cycles. Nights that are cut short or broken up shorten that window by the same amount. It is why sleep comes up in every conversation about energy and condition in men past thirty.

  • Man in a suit raising his voice, showing rising tension

    Mood

    A shorter fuse than you once had

    Mood is decided on several fronts at once: last night's sleep, pressure that has built up, life at home, what is on your plate. Hormones are part of that landscape without ever being the centre of it. Snapping sooner than you used to is a feeling, never a measure of anything going on inside.

Worth keeping in mindNone of the above reads as a sign. These situations have several causes at once and, taken on their own, they let you conclude nothing. A testosterone level cannot be guessed from how you feel: it is measured, and that measurement belongs with a doctor, who will read it alongside the rest of your results. Potensal is a food supplement. It replaces neither medical advice, nor a test, nor any follow-up, and it does not stand in for a varied diet and a balanced way of living. No food supplement brings a hormone level back up: the zinc in the capsule contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, and that is the whole of what it does. If something settles in or worries you, speak to your GP.

Ingredients

Everything inside one Potensal capsule

The full breakdown of a single capsule: every component, how much of it there is, and its nutrient reference value where one exists. All of it is taken off the label on the bottle, the one in the photograph. Three tables follow in turn, from the nutrients measured against the NRV through to the shell and the excipients. Nothing is left out, including what is there purely to make the capsule.

The label on a bottle, photographed close up. The wording printed on yours is what counts, quantities included.

The two nutrients measured against the NRV

The two components the label puts a figure on twice: in milligrams, then as a percentage of the reference intake.

  • Vitamin B3, 20 mg (125% NRV)Supplied as niacin. Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function
  • Zinc, 11 mg (110% NRV)Supplied as zinc oxide. Contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, to normal protein synthesis, to normal macronutrient metabolism, to normal fertility and reproduction, and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress

NRV stands for Nutrient Reference Value. A figure above 100% simply means the capsule covers the whole of the daily reference intake for that nutrient.

The active complex, 570 mg per capsule

Seven components, listed from the largest amount down. Not one of the seven is given a reference value on the label.

  • L-citrulline, 150 mgA non-essential amino acid, also found in watermelon
  • L-carnitine, 150 mgAn amino acid derivative the body makes for itself
  • Maritime pine bark, 100 mgBark extract of Pinus pinaster, the pine of the Atlantic coast
  • Velvet bean, 100 mgSeed extract of Mucuna pruriens, a tropical legume
  • Maca, 50 mgRoot extract of Lepidium meyenii, a plant of the high Andes
  • Grape skin, 15 mgSkin extract of Vitis vinifera
  • Saffron, 5 mgStigma extract of Crocus sativus

Both the complex total (570 mg) and the overall total (601 mg) are sums we worked out line by line: neither figure is printed as such on the pack.

The shell and the excipients

What the capsule itself is made of, and what makes it possible to produce. These lines close out the label.

  • Plant-based capsule (hypromellose)A shell of plant origin, with no animal gelatine
  • Microcrystalline celluloseBulking agent, used to make up the volume of the capsule
  • Magnesium stearateAnti-caking agent, stops the powder sticking during filling
  • Silicon dioxideAnti-caking agent, keeps the powder dry and free-flowing

The label on the bottle you receive stays the reference that counts, quantities included. Give yourself a minute to read it right through before you open the bottle, particularly if you know of any allergy or intolerance.

How to use it

How to take Potensal

Nothing to measure out, nothing to prepare. Three pointers are enough to see a full course through, plus the precautions worth knowing before the first capsule. The whole thing takes ten seconds a day: the real question was never the capsule itself, it is not letting the habit slip somewhere between day twelve and day twenty.

  1. One capsule, with a meal

    Swallow it during a meal with a large glass of water. Which meal hardly matters: pick the one you never skip, that is the only thing worth going on.

  2. Every day, no gaps

    Consistency counts for more than anything else here. Leave the bottle somewhere you pass every morning: next to the kettle, the toothbrush, the car keys.

  3. On top of your habits

    Sleep, what is on your plate, time spent moving: those three do the heavy lifting. Potensal sits on top of them, it does not stand in for any of the three.

Precautions and contraindications

Worth reading before the first capsule.

  • For men aged 18 and overNot suitable for under-18s, for pregnant women or for women who are breastfeeding.
  • One capsule a day at mostDo not stack it with another supplement supplying zinc or vitamin B3.
  • Medication or a diagnosed conditionSpeak to a doctor or pharmacist before you start, particularly on neurological, psychiatric, cardiovascular or anticoagulant treatment, and ahead of any planned surgery.
  • Known allergy, or antibioticsRead the component list through again. On antibiotics, leave several hours between the two.
  • Anything out of the ordinaryStop the course and seek advice.
  • StorageBottle closed, somewhere dry, out of the reach of children.

Medical advice is recommended before running several courses back to back.

Customer feedback

What Potensal users say

Feedback from men who have seen at least one full course through, on how the format fits their day as much as on what the brand sets out. Nearly all of them land on the same two things: how easy it is to hold thirty days in a row, and the fact that one bottle comes to exactly one month.

★★★★★

I put the bottle in plain sight on the kitchen shelf on day one. Tally for the month: not a single missed day. No powder had ever got me that far.

Gareth W.Bristol, customer for 6 months

★★★★☆

The capsule goes down easily and leaves no aftertaste at all. When you already take a few things first thing, that sort of detail ends up mattering more than you would expect.

Ade O.Leeds, customer for 4 months

★★★★★

I like a page that says what it can stand behind and then stops. Products guaranteeing a specific figure in a fortnight put me right off.

Duncan R.Glasgow, customer for 8 months

★★★★★

I am away with work three days at a stretch fairly often. The bottle comes along without a second thought, so the course never gets broken.

Nigel T.Southampton, customer for 3 months

★★★★★

Forty-six, two sessions in the gym a week for as long as I can remember. I rather like a supplement that talks about upkeep instead of some dramatic transformation.

Stuart M.Sheffield, customer for 7 months

★★★★★

One bottle equals one month, so my reorder always falls at the same point. With the odd-sized tubs I used before, I was forever running out early.

Ravi S.Nottingham, customer for 5 months

★★★★☆

First thing I did was turn the bottle round and read the label right through. Every amount per capsule is spelled out, nothing buried in a vague blend. The print is on the small side, mind you.

Neil B.Newcastle, customer for 5 months

★★★★★

One capsule at lunch and there is nothing else to keep track of for the rest of the day. The last two things I tried wanted one in the morning and one at night, and that arrangement never lasted a fortnight with me.

Owen P.Cardiff, customer for 9 months

What sets it apart

What makes Potensal different?

Nobody picks a bottle like this blind. You line a few of them up, label against label, and only then decide. Here are the four points where Potensal stands out once the bottles are side by side. Every one of them rests on a printed figure rather than an adjective.

  • Amounts given line by line

    Every component appears with its own number of milligrams, from the zinc right down to the 5 mg of saffron. Nothing hides behind a single total that leaves you guessing at the proportions. You know what the capsule holds before you have even opened the bottle.

  • Two nutrients above the reference intake

    11 mg of zinc and 20 mg of vitamin B3, which comes to 110% and 125% of the reference values. These are not two traces dropped on the label to lengthen the list: those two are dosed to count, not to appear.

  • Nine actives in a single capsule

    L-citrulline, L-carnitine, maritime pine bark, velvet bean, maca, grape skin and saffron, with zinc and vitamin B3 on top of them. Putting that lot together any other way would take several bottles, several servings and a pill box to keep track of it all.

  • Plant-based right down to the shell

    The shell is hypromellose, with no animal gelatine, and the rest comes down to one bulking agent and two anti-caking agents. No colouring, no flavouring, no added sugar to help it go down: there is nothing here to disguise.

Frequently asked

Your questions about Potensal

Does Potensal raise testosterone?

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. That is maintenance rather than a rise: no food supplement brings a hormone level back up.

What is the dose for Potensal?

One capsule a day, taken during a meal with a glass of water. Thirty capsules per bottle, so exactly one month. That amount is a ceiling: it is not to be doubled.

Who is Potensal for?

The formula is made for men aged 18 and over. It is not suitable for under-18s, for pregnant women or for women who are breastfeeding.

How long before I notice anything?

No supplement works on the spot, and no two bodies respond in quite the same way. The one thing you control is keeping at it: several weeks in a row, without letting your other habits slide.

Does the formula contain hormones?

None at all. This is a food supplement, not a medicine and not hormone therapy. The zinc in the capsule works as nutritional support, in no sense as a dose of hormone.

Is it worth it if I lift weights?

Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis, the process by which the body maintains muscle, and to normal macronutrient metabolism. It backs your training and your protein intake rather than standing in for them.

What exactly is in one capsule?

Nine actives: 20 mg of vitamin B3, 11 mg of zinc and a 570 mg complex set out in full in the ingredients section, with the plant-based shell and three excipients on top of those.

Are side effects possible?

Stick to the single daily capsule and never push the quantity. Depending on the form of niacin used, sensitive individuals may see brief flushing of the face and neck, which is harmless. Anything out of the ordinary should lead you to pause the course and seek advice.

Can I take it alongside medication?

Ask your pharmacist, or your GP, beforehand as soon as you are already on a prescription or have a diagnosed condition. A food supplement never takes the place of medical care.

How should I store the bottle?

Cap screwed back on properly, at room temperature, away from a window and from bathroom steam. Keep it out of the reach of children and check the best-before date printed on the bottle.

Thirty days to get behind your male vitality

Thirty capsules in a bottle, one a day, and nothing else to organise. The least demanding way there is to see a full course through.
