What is it and how does it work?Androxen
Work, stress, too little sleep: many men look for a simple way to top up their diet. Androxen (on the label: "Androxen Virility Blend") is a dietary supplement in capsules, sold on its official website and delivered to about a dozen European countries.
Each bottle holds 30 capsules and lasts 30 days at one capsule a day. The formula combines two amino acids (L-citrulline and L-carnitine), four plant extracts (pine bark, maca, grape skin, saffron), zinc and vitamin B3. According to the official website, Androxen is made in Europe, shipped from the Netherlands and sold by BINO Solutions Ltd, a company based in England; the label says "Swiss Formula".
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. Niacin contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.2
These are the two health claims authorised in the European Union for Androxen's ingredients, and the official website also quotes the one for zinc. No claim is authorised for the amino acids or the plant extracts: claims about plants are "on hold" in the official EU register1. So we do not repeat the website's stamina and energy promises, and no study has been published on Androxen itself.
Let's be realistic: a dietary supplement guarantees no result. Age, sleep, diet, exercise and health all matter a great deal, and every man responds differently.
The formula
Tap an ingredient to see its dose. The official website gives the amount of each ingredient for the daily dose of one capsule4; for zinc and niacin, we worked out the % of the NRV3.
- L-citrulline – 150 mg: An amino acid found in watermelon, among other foods. The body converts it into L-arginine, which is used to make nitric oxide.
- L-carnitine – 150 mg: A compound the body uses to burn fat for energy, common in "energy" formulas.
- Pine bark extract – 100 mg: From the bark of the maritime pine, a source of polyphenols, plant compounds with antioxidant properties.
- Maca root extract – 50 mg: A plant from the Peruvian Andes, long eaten as a food there and widely used in men's supplements.
- Vitamin B3 (niacin) – 20 mg: Niacin contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue (claim authorised in the EU).
- Grape skin extract – 15 mg: From the skin of the grape, also rich in polyphenols.
- Zinc (zinc oxide) – 11 mg: Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood (claim authorised in the EU).
- Saffron stigma extract – 5 mg: Made from the stigmas of the saffron crocus, one of the most precious spices in the world.
According to the official website, the capsule also contains: vegetable capsule shell (hypromellose), microcrystalline cellulose (bulking agent), magnesium salts of fatty acids and silicon dioxide (anti-caking agents). The website describes the formula as gluten-free, GMO-free and free of synthetic stimulants.
Dosage and useOne a day
According to the ingredients page of the official website, take one (1) capsule a day, swallowed whole with a glass of water, about 15 to 30 minutes before lunch or dinner. The order page also says one capsule a day, and the label says 30 capsules, so a bottle lasts 30 days. Note that the FAQ on the home page mentions two capsules a day and 60 capsules per bottle; we follow the ingredients page and the label. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
- Take the capsule every day, ideally at the same time
- Swallow it with a glass of water before a meal
- Eat a varied, balanced diet
- Exercise regularly and get enough sleep
- The website recommends at least 2 to 3 months of regular use
- For adult men only
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the reach of children.
Side effectsIs it safe?
Androxen's ingredients are common in dietary supplements and are generally well tolerated. Stomach upset, intolerances or allergic reactions are still possible: if that happens, stop taking it and ask a doctor.
According to the official website, the product is for adult men only and is not suitable for under-18s or for pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you take medication, have a health condition or are under medical supervision, talk to your doctor before taking it. L-citrulline can interact with blood pressure medication and erectile dysfunction drugs.
Do not exceed the daily dose: one capsule already provides 110% of the NRV for zinc and 125% for niacin, which matters if you combine it with another supplement. Androxen is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Safety and money-back guaranteeWhat the 14 days cover
According to the official website, every order comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. The period starts when you receive the parcel: just email customer service (support@androxenhealth.com) or use the "Cancel order" form, with no need to give a reason.

Is Androxen a scam?The facts
Before buying a men's supplement online, it pays to look closely at the offer. The market is full of exaggerated promises, and we do not repeat the advertising claims about Androxen. What matters is what is in the bottle: a dietary supplement with published doses, not a medicine.
What reassures
- Ingredients table with the dose of all 8 ingredients
- EU-authorised claims for zinc and niacin
- Named seller and written delivery and returns terms
- One-off payment, no hidden subscription
Worth knowing
- The website says 1 capsule a day in some places and 2 in others
- The ISO 17025 certificate on the website is for a testing laboratory, not the product
- The doses are far below those used in studies
- No study has been published on Androxen itself
- Results vary from person to person
Our verdict: Androxen is not a scam in the sense of a product that never arrives or a dubious payment: the doses are published, the seller is named and the returns terms are in writing. But it is a dietary supplement, not a treatment, and it does not replace a balanced diet or a doctor's advice. If you want to try it, order on the official website so the guarantee applies.

Studies cited
For each ingredient, we list two studies found in the scientific literature. The summaries describe what each study measured and found. They do not promise results: most of these studies are small or short, used doses different from those in Androxen, and some found no effect.
L-citrulline
Single-blind study in 24 men with mild erectile dysfunction (average age 56): one month of placebo, then one month of 1.5 g of L-citrulline a day. Erection hardness reached the normal score in 12 of 24 men with L-citrulline, against 2 of 24 with placebo.
Limitation: Small study, not randomised, one month only; 1.5 g a day is ten times the 150 mg of L-citrulline in a Androxen capsule.
Cormio L, De Siati M, Lorusso F, et al. Urology. 2011;77(1):119-22. PMID 21195829 · Read on PubMed
Systematic review and meta-analysis of 10 placebo-controlled studies on citrulline and aerobic exercise. Citrulline did not improve aerobic performance, perceived exertion, oxygen uptake or lactate.
Limitation: Negative result for performance; the studies used several grams of citrulline a day, far more than the 150 mg in Androxen.
Viribay A, Fernández-Landa J, Castañeda-Babarro A, et al. Nutrients. 2022;14(17):3479. PMID 36079738 · Read on PubMed
L-carnitine
Randomised, placebo-controlled trial in 120 men aged 60 to 74 with symptoms of male ageing, over six months. Propionyl-L-carnitine plus acetyl-L-carnitine (2 g each a day) improved erectile function scores, mood and fatigue compared with placebo; testosterone levels did not change.
Limitation: It used other forms of carnitine (propionyl- and acetyl-L-carnitine), 4 g a day in total: more than 25 times the 150 mg of L-carnitine in Androxen. The effect faded after stopping.
Cavallini G, Caracciolo S, Vitali G, Modenini F, Biagiotti G. Urology. 2004;63(4):641-6. PMID 15072869 · Read on PubMed
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 66 centenarians with fatigue after slight physical activity. 2 g of L-carnitine a day reduced physical and mental fatigue and increased muscle mass compared with placebo.
Limitation: Very specific population (people over 100); 2 g a day is more than 13 times the 150 mg of L-carnitine in Androxen.
Malaguarnera M, Cammalleri L, Gargante MP, et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(6):1738-44. PMID 18065594 · Read on PubMed
Maritime pine bark extract
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial in 50 men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. One month of a combination of French maritime pine bark extract (Pycnogenol) and L-arginine aspartate. Erectile function and intercourse frequency improved, and blood testosterone rose.
Limitation: The extract was combined with L-arginine, which Androxen does not contain, so this study says nothing about pine bark on its own; short study with diary-based outcomes.
Stanislavov R, Nikolova V, Rohdewald P. Int J Impot Res. 2008;20(2):173-80. PMID 17703218 · Read on PubMed
Randomised, blinded, placebo-controlled study in 53 men with erectile dysfunction, 32 of them with diabetes, over three months. Pine bark extract (Pycnogenol) alone improved erectile function scores (IIEF-5) and lowered cholesterol; placebo had no effect.
Limitation: Small study with a specific branded extract (Pycnogenol); the PubMed summary does not give the dose, so it cannot be compared with the 100 mg of pine bark extract in Androxen.
Trebaticky B, Muchova J, Ziaran S, et al. Bratisl Lek Listy. 2019;120(12):941-944. PMID 31855055 · Read on PubMed
Maca root extract
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in healthy men aged 21 to 56, over 12 weeks. 1,500 mg or 3,000 mg of gelatinised maca. Self-reported sexual desire improved from week 8; testosterone and oestradiol did not differ from placebo.
Limitation: Self-reported outcome; 1.5 to 3 g of maca a day is 30 to 60 times the 50 mg of maca extract in Androxen (the official ingredient list does not give the extract ratio).
Gonzales GF, Córdova A, Vega K, et al. Andrologia. 2002;34(6):367-72. PMID 12472620 · Read on PubMed
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 80 men with late-onset hypogonadism symptoms and normal testosterone. 1,000 mg three times a day for 12 weeks. Scores for ageing-male symptoms, erectile function (IIEF) and urinary symptoms (IPSS) improved more than with placebo.
Limitation: Questionnaire-based outcomes; 3 g a day is 60 times the 50 mg of maca extract in Androxen.

Vitamin B3 (niacin)
Randomised, placebo-controlled trial in 160 men with erectile dysfunction and high blood lipids, over 12 weeks, with up to 1,500 mg of niacin a day. Erectile function improved in men with moderate or severe dysfunction; there was no improvement in mild cases.
Limitation: Pharmacological dose of up to 1,500 mg a day, about 75 times the 20 mg of niacin in a Androxen capsule; the placebo group also improved.
Ng CF, Lee CP, Ho AL, Lee VW. J Sex Med. 2011;8(10):2883-93. PMID 21810191 · Read on PubMed
Population study of 3,184 American adults (NHANES 2001-2004). Men with the highest dietary niacin intake were less likely to report erectile dysfunction than those with the lowest intake.
Limitation: Observational study, not a trial: it shows an association, not cause and effect, and it looked at niacin from food, not from supplements like Androxen.
Lin WL, Zheng C, Wang HX, Zhang W, Lin ME. Asian J Androl. 2024;26(4):382-388. PMID 38305697 · Read on PubMed
Grape skin extract
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial in 24 men with metabolic syndrome. 30 days of a freeze-dried grape polyphenol powder lowered systolic blood pressure and improved the dilation of the arteries (flow-mediated dilation).
Limitation: Whole-grape powder, not a skin extract, and it measured blood vessels, not sexual function or energy; Androxen contains 15 mg of grape skin extract.
Barona J, Aristizabal JC, Blesso CN, Volek JS, Fernandez ML. J Nutr. 2012;142(9):1626-32. PMID 22810991 · Read on PubMed
Randomised, placebo-controlled trial in 66 middle-aged men with metabolic syndrome, over four months. Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in grape skin, at 150 mg or 1,000 mg a day, did not change testosterone, free testosterone or DHT.
Limitation: Negative result; it tested isolated resveratrol, not grape skin extract. The whole 15 mg of grape skin extract in Androxen is a tenth of the lower resveratrol dose studied.
Kjaer TN, Ornstrup MJ, Poulsen MM, et al. Prostate. 2015;75(12):1255-63. PMID 25939591 · Read on PubMed
Zinc
Study in healthy men. Restricting dietary zinc for 20 weeks lowered testosterone in 4 young men, and three to six months of zinc in 9 older men with a marginal deficiency raised it.
Limitation: Very small groups without placebo; the effect concerns men with a zinc deficiency. A Androxen capsule provides 11 mg of zinc (110% of the NRV).
Prasad AS, Mantzoros CS, Beck FW, Hess JW, Brewer GJ. Nutrition. 1996;12(5):344-8. PMID 8875519 · Read on PubMed
Study in 14 healthy, active men aged 22 to 33 with enough zinc in their diet. A high-dose zinc supplement raised blood zinc but did not change total or free testosterone.
Limitation: Negative result in men without a deficiency; small group, and a high-dose supplement, above the 11 mg of zinc in Androxen.
Koehler K, Parr MK, Geyer H, Mester J, Schänzer W. Eur J Clin Nutr. 2009;63(1):65-70. PMID 17882141 · Read on PubMed
Saffron extract
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 36 men whose antidepressant (fluoxetine) affected their sex life. 15 mg of saffron twice a day for four weeks improved erectile function and intercourse satisfaction more than placebo; desire and orgasm did not differ.
Limitation: Small, four-week study in a specific group (men taking fluoxetine); 30 mg a day is six times the 5 mg of saffron extract in Androxen.
Modabbernia A, Sohrabi H, Nasehi AA, et al. Psychopharmacology (Berl). 2012;223(4):381-8. PMID 22552758 · Read on PubMed
Randomised, open-label crossover study in 346 men with erectile dysfunction. 30 mg of saffron twice a day for 12 weeks brought no significant improvement in erectile function scores; the authors concluded the results do not support a benefit of saffron.
Limitation: Negative result in a large study; it was open-label and compared saffron with sildenafil, without a blinded placebo. 60 mg a day is 12 times the 5 mg of saffron extract in Androxen.
