HoneyPower Reviews: Honey Power Launches Stimulant-Free Botanical Supplement for Men’s Wellness

Caffeine-free, twice-daily capsule combines Tongkat Ali, Epimedium, saw palmetto, wild yam, sarsaparilla, nettle and boron, with an ingredient-by-ingredient research overview

OGDEN, Utah, Sept. 19, 2026 — HoneyPower today announced the U.S. launch of its stimulant-free dietary supplement for adult men. The capsule formula combines six botanical ingredients with the trace mineral boron and contains no caffeine or other stimulants. It is designed for men who want a daily supplement that fits into an established routine of balanced nutrition, physical activity, adequate sleep and regular healthcare.

The formula contains Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia), Epimedium extract, saw palmetto, wild yam, sarsaparilla, nettle and boron. The recommended serving is two capsules per day with water. Honey Power states that the product is manufactured in the United States in an FDA-registered facility that follows Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines.

Alongside the launch, HoneyPower is publishing an overview of the published research on each ingredient. The overview covers both what the research has found and where it falls short.

“Botanical supplements for men are a crowded category, and a lot of the marketing runs well ahead of the science,” said Kevin Moore, Product Head at Honey Power. “We’d rather tell men plainly what’s in the capsule, what researchers have actually found about each ingredient, and where the evidence is weak or missing. Some of that research is encouraging, and some of it isn’t. Both belong in the conversation.”

A Stimulant-Free Botanical Formula

Honey Power’s formula combines two groups of ingredients:

• Six botanicals, several with long histories of traditional use and varying levels of modern research.

• One trace mineral, boron, which occurs naturally in fruits, vegetables and nuts.

The absence of caffeine and other stimulants is a deliberate formulation choice. Many men’s wellness products rely on stimulants, which can affect sleep, heart rate and tolerance for other caffeine sources during the day.

“Stimulant-free” describes what the formula leaves out. It does not mean the product is free of physiological activity or potential interactions. Botanical ingredients can interact with medications and other supplements even when no caffeine is present.

Tongkat Ali: Research on Stress Response and Hormone Markers

Tongkat Ali is a shrub native to Southeast Asia, where its root has a long history of traditional use. It has become one of the more actively researched botanicals in men’s wellness.

In a four-week randomized, placebo-controlled study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 63 moderately stressed adults took a standardized Tongkat Ali root extract or placebo [1]. Participants taking the extract showed lower salivary cortisol, higher salivary testosterone and improvements on several mood measures, including reduced tension and fatigue, compared with the placebo group.

Full details regarding ingredient specifications are provided in the company’s product documentation.

The findings are notable but limited. The study was short, used a specific standardized extract at a defined dose, and measured biomarkers and self-reported mood rather than long-term health outcomes. Tongkat Ali extracts vary widely in root source, extraction method and standardization, so results from one preparation cannot be assumed to apply to another, including the extract used in HoneyPower.

Saw Palmetto: A Widely Used Botanical With Mixed Results

Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a palm native to the southeastern United States. Its berry extract is among the most widely used botanical supplements for men, and it has been studied mainly in relation to prostate and urinary health.

HoneyPower includes the most rigorous findings on this ingredient, including those that did not favor it. A one-year randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine followed 225 men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms [2]. It found no significant difference between saw palmetto extract and placebo on symptom scores or urinary flow measures. Later large trials and systematic reviews have reached broadly similar conclusions.

Saw palmetto remains widely used, and some researchers continue to study specific extract types. Consumers should understand that the strongest available evidence does not show a measurable benefit for the outcomes most often associated with it. HoneyPower does not attribute any prostate or urinary outcome to its formula. Men with urinary symptoms should seek medical evaluation, because these symptoms can have causes that require diagnosis.

Boron: A Trace Mineral With Emerging Research

Boron is a trace element found in foods such as dried fruits, avocados, nuts and legumes. According to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), boron is not classified as an essential nutrient for humans. However, it appears to influence the metabolism of several other nutrients and has been studied in relation to bone health and hormone metabolism [4].

A small study published in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology gave healthy men 10 mg of boron daily for one week [3]. Researchers observed increased free testosterone, decreased estradiol and lower levels of several inflammatory markers. The study involved only eight participants and a very short duration, so its findings are preliminary and have not been established in larger trials.

ODS reports a tolerable upper intake level of 20 mg of boron per day for adults from all sources [4]. Men taking other supplements that contain boron should account for their combined intake.

Wild Yam: Separating Tradition From Biochemistry

Wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) is a climbing plant native to North America. It contains diosgenin, a plant compound that laboratories can use as a starting material to synthesize steroid hormones.

That laboratory process is often misrepresented in supplement marketing. According to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s integrative medicine database, the human body cannot convert diosgenin into hormones such as progesterone or DHEA [5]. Consuming wild yam is therefore not equivalent to taking a hormone.

Honey Power includes wild yam as a traditional botanical component and does not present it as a source of hormones or hormonal effects.

Epimedium, Sarsaparilla and Nettle: Traditional Botanicals With Limited Human Evidence

The remaining three botanicals have long traditional-use histories but relatively limited human clinical research.

• Epimedium: a genus of flowering plants used in traditional Chinese herbal practice. It contains icariin, a flavonoid that has been studied mainly in laboratory and animal models. Well-controlled human trials remain limited, and findings from cell and animal research cannot be assumed to translate to people.

• Sarsaparilla (Smilax species): has been used traditionally in Central and South American herbal practices and historically as a beverage flavoring. It contains saponins and other plant compounds of research interest, but human clinical evidence for specific wellness outcomes is sparse.

• Nettle (Urtica dioica): a widely distributed plant whose leaf and root have both been used traditionally. Different plant parts have been studied for different purposes, and results depend on which part and preparation is used.

Honey Power identifies these three ingredients as part of its botanical profile and does not assign a specific benefit to any of them.

What Ingredient Research Does and Does Not Show

HoneyPower’s research overview separates three questions: what each ingredient is, what researchers have found about it independently, and what has been demonstrated about the finished formula.

The studies referenced here examined single ingredients at specific doses, in specific populations and over specific periods. Some produced encouraging preliminary results, and others produced null results. HoneyPower combines seven ingredients in one capsule, at amounts and in preparations that may differ from any individual study, and the finished formula has not been evaluated in published clinical trials. For that reason, Honey Power does not describe its product as clinically proven or attribute ingredient-level findings to the complete formula.

“We included the saw palmetto trial results on purpose,” said Kevin Moore. “If a company only cites the studies that went its way, consumers can’t make a real decision. Men deserve the whole picture.”

Safety and Suitability

HoneyPower is intended for healthy adult men. Several of its ingredients may have hormone-related or other physiological activity, so men in the following situations should consult a qualified healthcare professional before use:

• managing a hormone-sensitive condition, including any prostate condition

• taking prescription medication, particularly blood pressure medication, blood thinners, diabetes medication or hormone therapy

• scheduled for surgery

• taking other dietary supplements

Consumers should follow the label directions and should not exceed the recommended serving, even where a published study used a larger amount of an individual ingredient. The physical label and Supplement Facts panel are the definitive source for ingredient amounts, directions and warnings.

Product Format and Availability

HoneyPower is available now to U.S. consumers through its official website, honeypower.us. The recommended serving is two capsules per day with water. The product is manufactured in the United States in an FDA-registered, GMP-compliant facility.

FDA facility registration and GMP compliance relate to manufacturing standards, identity, purity and quality controls. They do not indicate FDA approval of the product or its claims, as dietary supplements are not approved by the FDA before sale.
