Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This supplement contains gelatin, which makes it unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans. The presence of sodium benzoate, a preservative, is noted for its potential to form benzene when combined with vitamin C, a concern highlighted by the Southampton studies. Talc powder is included as an anti-caking agent, which is generally considered safe for ingestion in supplements, though its presence is a common point of discussion in other applications. The formulation is otherwise straightforward, with standard carriers and anti-caking agents.

Sodium Benzoate (E211)
Benzoates are permitted preservatives with an established acceptable daily intake. Two documented concerns: in acidic drinks that also contain ascorbic acid (vitamin C) they can slowly form small amounts of benzene, especially with heat and light (US FDA beverage survey, 2006); and sodium benzoate was one of the additives in the Southampton study mixtures associated with hyperactivity in children. It can also trigger reactions in some people with asthma or urticaria.

Combined Effects interactions
Sodium benzoate can react with vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to form benzene, a known carcinogen. The risk is concentration-dependent and influenced by factors like heat and light.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The product name includes '10x', implying a potency or multiplier, but the label does not provide information to substantiate this claim.
The claim 'HIGH POTENCY FORMULA' is subjective and not substantiated by specific potency metrics or comparative data on the label.
The claim 'HELPS BOOST TESTOSTERONE LEVEL' is a functional claim that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The claim 'HELPS BUILD STAMINA & STRENGTH' is a functional claim that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The claim 'HELPS BOOST PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE' is a functional claim that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The term 'NUTRACEUTICALS' is a product category designation that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The label clearly states '60 CAPSULES', which is a verifiable count of the product units.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
