SpartaMax is a once-daily gummy with seven active ingredients totalling 650 mg. Most men will notice nothing, but each ingredient has known side effects and a few medication interactions are worth knowing before you start.
Possible side effects, ingredient by ingredient
| Ingredient | Reported side effects |
|---|---|
| Tongkat ali (200 mg) | Restlessness, trouble sleeping, irritability in some users |
| Ashwagandha (100 mg) | Drowsiness, stomach upset; rare reports of liver injury |
| Maca (100 mg) | Usually well tolerated; occasional stomach upset |
| Epimedium (100 mg) | Dizziness, dry mouth at higher doses |
| L-arginine and beet root (50 mg each) | Mild drop in blood pressure; beet root can turn urine pink |
| Grape seed (50 mg) | Headache; may slightly thin the blood |
At these doses, which are small for most ingredients, side effects are usually mild. Full doses: SpartaMax ingredients.
Interactions that matter
- Nitrates and ED medication: beet root and L-arginine affect nitric oxide, and icariin (from epimedium) has weak PDE5 activity. The doses are small, but this is the combination doctors warn about.
- Blood-pressure medication: additive lowering is possible.
- Thyroid medication: ashwagandha can raise thyroid hormone levels.
- Blood thinners: grape seed extract may add a mild antiplatelet effect.
Who should avoid it
- Men whose erections or libido changed suddenly: that can be an early sign of heart disease or diabetes and needs a medical check first.
- Men with prostate cancer, a raised PSA or hormone-sensitive conditions.
- Anyone with liver disease.
- Anyone managing blood sugar, since gummies contain sugar.
