What is it and how does it work?ForceVital
Running on empty by the evening, less drive, the feeling that you are not quite as sharp as you used to be: plenty of men know it, especially with age and stress. ForceVital (sometimes written "Force Vital") is a dietary supplement made for them, sold in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The idea is simple: one capsule a day that combines two amino acids, four plant extracts, zinc and vitamin B3. Each bottle holds 30 capsules, so it lasts a month.
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. Niacin contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Those are the two EU-authorised claims on the label, both listed in the EU's official register of health claims1. The rest are amino acids and plant extracts commonly found in men's formulas.
To be realistic: no supplement can guarantee a result. Age, sleep, diet, exercise and overall health all matter, and every man responds differently.
The formula
Tap an ingredient to see its dose. Every amount is printed on the bottle, which many competing products do not do. The % NRV figures use the EU reference intakes3.
- L-citrulline – 150 mg: An amino acid found in watermelon, among other foods, and common in sports supplements.
- L-carnitine – 150 mg: A compound the body uses to process fats, often included in energy formulas.
- Maritime pine bark extract – 100 mg: From the maritime pine, a source of polyphenols.
- Maca root extract – 50 mg: A plant from the Andean highlands, traditionally eaten in Peru.
- Vitamin B3 (niacin) – 20 mg (125% NRV): Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Grape skin extract – 15 mg: From grape skins, also rich in polyphenols.
- Zinc – 11 mg (110% NRV): Contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood.
- Saffron extract – 5 mg: Taken from the stigmas of the saffron crocus.
The full ingredient list on the label reads: L-citrulline, L-carnitine, coating agent hypromellose, maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) bark extract, maca (Lepidium meyenii) root extract, vitamin B3 (as niacin), bulking agent (microcrystalline cellulose), anti-caking agents (magnesium salts of fatty acids, silicon dioxide), grape (Vitis vinifera) skin extract, zinc (as zinc oxide) and saffron (Crocus sativus) stigma extract.
How to take itOne a day
Recommended use: one (1) capsule a day, preferably in the morning, with water. Do not exceed this dose. A 30-capsule bottle therefore lasts a month.
- Take the capsule every day, ideally at the same time of day
- Drink enough water throughout the day
- Eat a varied, balanced diet
- Stay active and get enough sleep
- Store the bottle in a cool, dry place below 30 °C
- Keep your expectations realistic
Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Side effectsIs it safe?
ForceVital's ingredients are generally well tolerated. Some people may still experience an intolerance or allergic reaction; if that happens, stop taking it and see a doctor.
The label states that the product is not suitable for anyone under 18 or for pregnant or breastfeeding women. It also advises talking to a doctor before use if you take medication, have a health condition or are under medical supervision.
Stick to the daily dose and keep the bottle out of reach of children. ForceVital is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Pharmacy, dm or Amazon?Where it is sold

Is ForceVital a scam?The facts
The men's supplement market is full of exaggerated promises. ForceVital's sales page talks about performance and stamina in very enthusiastic terms; we do not repeat those promises here. What matters is what is inside the bottle: a dietary supplement with a detailed label, not a medicine.
Points to a legitimate offer
- A complete label with the amount of every ingredient
- EU-authorised claims for zinc and niacin
- 30-day money-back guarantee
- Payment through Digistore24
Worth knowing
- No single bottle
- Sold only on the official website
- The 2-bottle pack has a delivery charge
- The legal notice mentions several company names
- Results vary from person to person
Our verdict: ForceVital is a dietary supplement with transparent dosing, not a treatment. It does not replace a balanced diet or medical advice. If you want to try it, buy from 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 ForceVital, 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 ForceVital 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 ForceVital.
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 ForceVital. 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 ForceVital.
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 ForceVital 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 ForceVital.
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 ForceVital (the label 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 ForceVital.

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 ForceVital 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 ForceVital.
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; ForceVital 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 ForceVital 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 ForceVital 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 ForceVital.
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 ForceVital.
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 ForceVital.
