Spartamax review: ingredients, price, side effects and our verdict

What is Spartamax?

Spartamax is a gummy supplement for men sold through ClickBank from getspartamax.com. Each bottle contains 30 gummies, sold as a 30 day supply, and the brand says to take one gummy a day. The marketing is built around a Spartan warrior theme and targets men roughly 40 to 70 who want more drive, stamina and confidence in the bedroom.

The sales page lists seven ingredients: L-arginine (as L-arginine HCl), tongkat ali, maca root, ashwagandha, horny goat weed (epimedium), beet root and grape seed extract. That is a familiar lineup for a men’s vitality product, and several of these ingredients have at least some human research behind them.

What the brand does not provide is a Supplement Facts panel. We checked the main sales page, the long-form text sales letter, the e-commerce style lander, the affiliate page and the bottle image, and none of them show the amount of any ingredient. For a product whose key ingredients only show effects at specific doses in research, that is a significant gap.

How Spartamax claims to work

The main sales page describes Spartamax as based on “a closely guarded formula that’s said to transform your libido, stamina and confidence,” inspired by the “legendary Spartan warriors.” The longer sales letters go much further, describing the gummy as “the next evolution in male sexual science” and promising dramatic, fast results in very explicit language. On its affiliate page, the vendor even pitches Spartamax to marketers as an offer for erectile problems.

We want to be clear about what a supplement can and cannot do. Spartamax is a dietary supplement, not a medicine, and no published study has tested this product. Erection problems can be an early sign of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or hormone issues, so they deserve a conversation with a doctor rather than a gummy. Our topic page on low stamina and libido after 40 covers common causes and when to get checked.

In broad terms, the formula aims at three things: blood flow (L-arginine, beet root and grape seed extract), hormones (tongkat ali and ashwagandha) and desire (maca and horny goat weed). The rationale is reasonable on paper. Whether a single gummy contains enough of each ingredient to matter is the open question.

What the ingredients actually do

L-arginine

L-arginine is an amino acid the body uses to make nitric oxide, which helps blood vessels relax. A 2019 meta-analysis of 10 randomized trials in 540 men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction found that arginine at 1,500 to 5,000 mg a day improved erectile function scores compared with placebo or no treatment, while sexual desire scores did not change. Those are gram-level doses. A gummy also carrying six other ingredients is unlikely to deliver 1.5 grams of arginine, though without a label we cannot confirm the amount either way.

Tongkat ali

Tongkat ali (Eurycoma longifolia) is a Southeast Asian root used traditionally for male vitality. A 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials found that it increased total testosterone, with the clearest results in men with low testosterone. The authors called it promising but said more research is needed. Most of the trials used standardized extracts at specific doses.

Maca root

Maca is an Andean root vegetable. A 2010 systematic review found four small randomized trials, with some showing benefits for sexual desire or function, and concluded the evidence was limited because of the small number and size of studies.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is an Ayurvedic herb best known for stress and sleep research. NCCIH says there is “some limited evidence” that taking it for 2 to 4 months may increase testosterone levels and sperm quality. In one 16 week crossover trial in overweight men aged 40 to 70, a standardized extract raised testosterone by about 15 percent more than placebo, but changes in fatigue, vigor and sexual well-being were not different from placebo.

Horny goat weed (epimedium)

Horny goat weed contains icariin, which has been studied in the lab for effects on blood flow pathways. Human evidence is sparse. A 2021 review of popular men’s supplements found horny goat weed among the most common ingredients and noted that many ingredients in these products lack strong randomized trial support.

Beet root

Beet root provides dietary nitrate, another route to nitric oxide. A 2017 meta-analysis of beet root juice trials found small reductions in blood pressure, with larger effects at higher juice doses (up to about 500 mL a day). A powdered amount in a gummy is a very different dose from a glass of juice.

Grape seed extract

Grape seed extract supplies antioxidant compounds called proanthocyanidins. NCCIH describes it as generally well tolerated, but evidence for sexual function specifically is thin.

Taken together, Spartamax uses better-studied ingredients than many products in this category. Tongkat ali, ashwagandha and L-arginine each have some trial support. But the research effects depend on dose, form and duration, and Spartamax discloses none of those details.

Who it may suit, and who should skip it

Spartamax may suit healthy adult men who prefer a gummy over capsules, want to try a combination of commonly studied vitality herbs, and are comfortable not knowing the exact amounts. It is not a substitute for a medical evaluation. Sleep, regular exercise, a healthy weight, limiting alcohol and not smoking all have real effects on energy, hormones and sexual health.

Talk to your doctor first, or skip Spartamax, if any of these apply:

• You take nitrates or erectile dysfunction medicines. L-arginine and beet root both work through nitric oxide, and combining them with these drugs or blood pressure medicines could lower blood pressure further.
• You take blood pressure medicines or blood thinners, since several ingredients act on blood vessels and interaction data are limited.
• You take diabetes medicines, sedatives, thyroid medicines, immunosuppressants or anti-seizure drugs. NCCIH lists all of these as possible ashwagandha interactions.
• You have a thyroid or autoimmune disorder, liver disease or hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. NCCIH says ashwagandha should be avoided with thyroid and autoimmune disorders and with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and rare liver injury cases have been reported.
• You have upcoming surgery. NCCIH advises against ashwagandha before surgery.

Spartamax is marketed to men. Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should not use it, as NCCIH advises avoiding ashwagandha in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Price, guarantee and where to buy

On the official sales page, one bottle costs $69 plus $9.99 shipping. Three bottles cost $177 ($59 each) and six bottles cost $294 ($49 each), both with free US shipping. The 3 and 6 bottle packages include two digital bonus guides. An exit offer on the page also showed three bottles for $138, so prices vary by page and timing.

The brand offers a 365 day money-back guarantee, which is longer than most products in this category, and the ClickBank checkout states the same 365 day return window. Note that the checkout page we viewed also displays an optional add-on digital product, so review your cart before paying. The brand says Spartamax is only sold on its own site, not on Amazon or in stores.

According to the brand, Spartamax is made in the USA in a GMP certified, FDA-registered facility and every batch is third-party tested. We did not see test results or a certificate of analysis published on the site.

Our verdict

Spartamax gets several things right on paper: its ingredients are among the better-researched options for men’s vitality, it sells single bottles, and its 365 day guarantee is unusually generous. Against that, the brand publishes no Supplement Facts label, uses a gummy format that limits how much of each ingredient it can hold, and markets the product with explicit, exaggerated promises that no supplement research supports.

We rate Spartamax 2.7 out of 5. If you want to try these ingredients, a product with disclosed doses lets you compare them with the amounts used in studies. Most importantly, if you are noticing changes in sexual function, speak with your doctor first, because those changes can be an early signal of other health issues worth checking.
