Horsewood's Tongkat Ali: 1,000 mg of What?
The verdict in one line
A headline figure that could describe ten milligrams or a gram, and no way to tell which. Our score: 2.4 / 5.
This is a verification-desk piece rather than a product description: the question first, the direct answer second, and the working shown underneath.
What Horsewood is
Horsewood is a once-daily dietary supplement sold as a "Cardiovascular Support Formula" — 30 capsules a bottle on the brand's own renders and thirty on one seller page, taken once daily. Seven botanicals are named consistently; no Supplement Facts panel is published for any of them. It is sold on the Horsewood sale pricing from $49 to $89 a bottle. It is not a medicine and it is not a substitute for having erectile difficulty assessed.
The single most important number on this product
One competing page lists "Tongkat Ali 1000mg" in its ingredient panel and "Tongkat Ali (1000mg equivalent)" in its own FAQ, a few screens apart. Those are not the same claim, and the gap between them can be a factor of a hundred.
Botanical extracts are described by ratio. At 100:1, one hundred parts of raw root produce one part of extract — so ten milligrams of that powder can legitimately be advertised as a 1,000 mg equivalent. The trial that same page cites, Tambi and colleagues in 2012, used 200 mg daily of a specific standardised water-soluble extract. That is the figure with evidence attached. Without the ratio, the bigger number means nothing at all.

|---|---|---|
| Tongkat Ali | 1,000 mg | 200 mg/day standardised water-soluble extract (Tambi 2012) |
| Horny Goat Weed | 80 mg | Human trials typically use standardised icariin at far higher intakes |

The pattern is consistent. Every amount is printed, four nutrient forms were chosen the better way, and two lines — choline at 0.04 mg and inositol at 40 mcg — are present in amounts that round to nothing. Full breakdown: the Horsewood ingredient analysis.
Pros and cons
What works
- All thirteen amounts printed with %DV — no proprietary blend
- B12 as methylcobalamin, zinc as citrate, vitamin E as natural d-alpha
- Folate printed with its correct DFE conversion
- Boron included — a specified-dose study behind it
- Pectin base rather than gelatin, and a taste people actually keep up with
What does not
- No Supplement Facts panel published anywhere
- Choline 0.04 mg, printed by the label itself as 0% DV
- Inositol 40 mcg against 2–4 g in human studies
- Saw palmetto at 1/16th of its researched amount
- No nitrate warning on either selling page
Who it suits — and who should skip it
Worth considering for anyone willing to give it 8 to 12 weeks and decide by day 50. Not worth it for anyone expecting a supplement to work like a prescription PDE5 inhibitor, or anyone taking nitrates, which is the interaction that matters most here.
Tongkat Ali has an entry in LiverTox, the NIH drug-induced liver injury database — and one competing page cites that very monograph in its reference list as though it supported the ingredient.
"1000mg" and "1000mg equivalent" appear on the same competing page. At a 100:1 extract ratio those describe ten milligrams of actual powder, and the trial that page cites used 200 mg of a standardised extract.
Verdict
A headline figure that could describe ten milligrams or a gram, and no way to tell which. Practically: ask the seller for a photograph of the Supplement Facts panel and for the Tongkat Ali extract ratio before ordering, tell a pharmacist what medication you take, get your blood pressure checked, start with three bottles rather than six, and diarise your refund decision for day 50.

Questions readers ask
Is Horsewood worth buying in 2026?
It is worth considering only if the seller will show you a Supplement Facts panel and tell you the Tongkat Ali extract ratio. Without those, you are buying seven names rather than seven doses.
How long should I take Horsewood before judging it?
Both selling pages say the full effect compounds over 90 days or more, while offering a 60-day guarantee. Plan on 8 to 12 weeks and decide by day 50.
How long is the Horsewood guarantee?
The offer pages state 60 days from the date of purchase. A badge supplied with the product artwork says 180 days, which does not match. Screenshot the written terms on the order form before you pay and diarise day 50.
