Tongkat Ali
Eurycoma longifoliaA Southeast Asian root with centuries of traditional use and a small modern trial record, most interesting for its effects on stress hormones rather than the testosterone headlines.

The JellyBlue Ingredient Hub
Six detailed pages, one per ingredient. Ranked here by the strength of the evidence behind each rather than by the order the label happens to print them.
Ranking the JellyBlue Ingredients by Evidence
Supplement labels list ingredients in whatever order suits the marketing. Ranking them by what the research actually shows produces a different and more useful picture.
Tier one — repeated human trials
Ashwagandha is alone in this tier. Several randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have examined standardised root extracts for perceived stress, cortisol and sleep quality, and the findings replicate across independent groups. By botanical standards that is genuinely strong. Sample sizes are modest and some trials carry manufacturer funding, but the direction of the evidence is consistent.
Tier two — established mechanism, awkward delivery
L-arginine HCl has biochemistry nobody disputes: the body converts it into nitric oxide, which widens blood vessels. The obstacle is that most of an oral dose is dismantled in the gut and liver before it reaches circulation, which is why studies use several grams a day.
Tier three — modest but real human research
Maca root has trials on desire, mood and energy, with the notable finding that its effects appear not to run through testosterone at all. Grape seed extract has meta-analysed research suggesting small reductions in blood pressure and improvements in vessel function.
Tier four — small, mixed, and worth caveats
Tongkat ali has a handful of small trials, more interesting on cortisol and fatigue than on the testosterone headlines. It also carries a documented supplement-market quality problem that is worth reading about before buying any product containing it.
Tier five — laboratory pharmacology, little human data
Horny goat weed has extensive preclinical work on its icariin content and very little human clinical evidence at supplement doses. It is also the ingredient behind this formula's single most important safety warning.
The JellyBlue amounts are unpublished, and the format makes that matter
Six ingredients are named. Not one amount appears anywhere, while the source describes "optimal therapeutic doses" and "clinically-informed dosing" in the same breath. Both cannot be true and unverifiable at once.
In a gummy this carries more weight than it would in a capsule. A gummy is mostly gelling agent, sweetener and flavouring, and a typical one weighs only a few grams in total, leaving a small fraction for actives. Several of these ingredients are researched at doses measured in grams. L-arginine trials commonly use 3–6 g daily. Maca studies use 1.5–3 g. Ashwagandha trials use 300–600 mg of standardised extract, tongkat ali 200–400 mg.
Those figures added together exceed what a single gummy can physically hold. That does not make the product useless — but it does mean the claim of therapeutic dosing across all six ingredients in one daily gummy is hard to credit, and impossible to check while no numbers are published.

Every JellyBlue Ingredient Page
What each one is, what the trials found, what it means in a gummy, and the cautions that come with it.
Maca Root
Lepidium meyeniiA Peruvian root vegetable eaten as a food for centuries. Its research points to effects on desire and mood that appear to bypass testosterone entirely.

Withania somniferaThe formula's strongest evidence by a distance, with repeated placebo-controlled trials on stress, cortisol and sleep — plus a liver-safety point that deserves attention.
Read moreHorny Goat Weed
Epimedium (icariin)A traditional Chinese herb whose icariin content has extensive laboratory pharmacology, very little human evidence, and one genuinely serious interaction warning.
Read moreL-Arginine HCl
Conditionally essential amino acidAn amino acid the body converts into nitric oxide to widen blood vessels. Nobel-recognised biochemistry with a delivery problem that a gummy cannot solve.
Read moreGrape Seed Extract
Vitis vinifera (OPCs)A polyphenol source with modest but genuine human research on blood pressure and blood vessel function — and the least oversold ingredient on the source's own page.

Research context
Reading the JellyBlue Ingredient Research
Every page in this section separates three things that supplement marketing routinely blends together: what an ingredient does in a laboratory, what it did in human trials at a stated dose, and what an undisclosed amount of it in a gummy can be expected to do.
Those are three very different claims, and only the second is evidence.
How to read the research on this JellyBlue page
The studies referred to here examined individual ingredients, on their own, at doses the researchers chose. That research explains why an ingredient is a reasonable thing to put in a formula.
It does not show that JellyBlue produces the same outcomes. No clinical trial of this finished gummy has been published, and its ingredient amounts are undisclosed, so the two cannot be connected.
Returns
The JellyBlue 60-Day Guarantee
Every order is covered by a 60-day money-back guarantee running from the date of purchase. The brand describes claiming it as straightforward: contact its support address, and a refund is issued without a complicated return procedure.
Sixty days is a fair window for this category. It is long enough to judge a product whose ingredients work gradually, rather than forcing a decision in the first fortnight.
What the JellyBlue guarantee asks of you
The published wording asks you to use the product daily for at least 30 days before claiming. For a formula built on adaptogens that is a reasonable request rather than a stalling tactic — but it does mean your real decision window is the second month, not the full sixty days.
Two details are not spelled out: whether the sixty days runs from order or from delivery, and whether any product needs returning. Worth reading at the checkout rather than assuming.
Note the mismatch on the largest package: six bottles is 180 days of product against a 60-day window, so the guarantee closes with four bottles unopened. Diarise around day 50.
