Magnum for men is a 6-capsule food supplement developed around a multi-ingredient formula for men. Its label combines Cordyceps and Reishi extracts with black ginger, oyster extract, ginger, L-arginine, maca powder, lycopene, pumpkin seed extract and a zinc amino acid chelate.
What makes the label useful for comparison is not simply the number of ingredients. Each listed component is given with its amount per capsule, so the formula can be assessed ingredient by ingredient rather than as an unnamed proprietary blend.
These milligram values should not be read as a ranking of effectiveness. An amino acid, a mushroom extract, a plant powder and a mineral-containing chelate are fundamentally different materials. The presence of these ingredients therefore does not by itself imply a guaranteed erection, potency or sexual-performance effect.

How to read these ingredients without over-interpreting the label
| Ingredient |
Useful comparison point |
Cordyceps extract – 80 mg |
Cordyceps has a long history of traditional use in East Asia and is frequently found in supplements positioned around vitality. Different Cordyceps preparations have also been investigated in research. For Magnum, however, the label does not state a standardised active-compound content. Results obtained with other Cordyceps preparations therefore cannot automatically be transferred to this 80 mg serving. |
Reishi mushroom extract – 80 mg |
Reishi also has a substantial East Asian traditional background. Reishi extracts can differ considerably in composition. The Magnum label does not provide a separate beta-glucan, triterpene or other standardised constituent value, so the reliable product-specific figure is 80 mg of Reishi mushroom extract per capsule. |
Black ginger extract – 50 mg |
Black ginger is found in some supplements aimed at men and in vitality-oriented formulas. Magnum declares 50 mg of black ginger extract per capsule. No extract standardisation or individual active-compound amount is stated on the label, so no additional potency can be inferred from the ingredient name alone. |
Oyster extract – 50 mg |
Oysters have a long cultural association with aphrodisiac traditions and male vitality. The product-specific fact here is 50 mg of oyster extract. This does not establish a particular zinc or mineral amount, so we do not calculate one from the oyster extract. |
Ginger extract – 50 mg |
Ginger is widely used as both a food ingredient and a traditional botanical, particularly in digestive contexts. Magnum contains 50 mg of ginger extract. It is best understood as one supporting botanical within the wider formula, rather than as an independent promise of male sexual performance. |
L-Arginine – 50 mg |
L-arginine is an amino acid involved in several physiological pathways and is one of the substrates used by the body to produce nitric oxide. This biochemical role helps explain why it appears in many supplements for men. Magnum provides 50 mg of L-arginine per capsule, but that quantity does not imply a guaranteed erection or potency effect. |
Maca powder – 50 mg |
Maca has a South American traditional background and has also been studied in contexts relating to vitality, reproductive wellbeing and sexual wellbeing. The form matters when comparing products: Magnum lists Maca (Lepidium Meyenii) powder, not a standardised maca extract. Research involving other maca preparations cannot therefore be applied automatically to this 50 mg amount. |
Lycopene (10%) – 35 mg |
Lycopene is a naturally occurring carotenoid best known as one of the pigments responsible for the red colour of tomatoes, and it is widely studied in nutritional research. The label specifically declares 35 mg of “Lycopene (10%)”. We do not calculate or present a separate lycopene quantity that is not independently stated on the packaging. |
Pumpkin seed extract – 30 mg |
Pumpkin seed and pumpkin seed preparations commonly appear in supplements aimed at male wellbeing. Magnum declares 30 mg of pumpkin seed extract. The label does not specify standardisation to a particular active constituent. |
Zinc, amino acid chelate 20% – 20 mg |
The exact label entry is 20 mg of “Zinc, amino acid chelate 20%”. This is the declared amount of that ingredient. A separate amount of elemental zinc is not stated, so we do not calculate our own elemental-zinc figure from it. |
Gelatin and E172 |
Gelatin is listed as capsule material and E172 as a colour. They are technological components rather than the botanical part of the formula. Because the capsule contains gelatin and the formula includes oyster extract, Magnum is not vegan. |
The two 80 mg ingredients stand out on the label
Cordyceps extract and Reishi mushroom extract are each declared at 80 mg per capsule. They therefore have the highest individually stated amounts among the mushroom and botanical extracts in the formula.
This is useful when comparing the composition, but it does not mean that 80 mg automatically produces a stronger effect than a smaller quantity of another ingredient. Extract concentration and standardisation can differ substantially, and those additional values are not provided on the Magnum label.
Black ginger and ginger are two separate entries
The formula contains both 50 mg of black ginger extract and 50 mg of ginger extract.
They are separately declared ingredients and should therefore remain separate when comparing the formula. It would be misleading to combine them into a single “100 mg ginger dose”.
Maca: the label says powder, not extract
Magnum provides 50 mg of Maca (Lepidium Meyenii) powder per capsule.
This distinction matters. A plant powder is not automatically equivalent to a concentrated or standardised extract, even when both products use the word “maca” prominently on their labels.
What does the zinc declaration actually mean?
The exact entry is Zinc, amino acid chelate 20% – 20 mg.
These 20 mg should not automatically be described as 20 mg of elemental zinc. The packaging does not separately declare the amount of elemental zinc, so no additional value is calculated for this product description.
Six capsules and six recommended daily servings
The pack contains 6 capsules of 500 mg each. The packaging presents the pack quantity as 500 mg × 6 capsules.
With the recommended intake of one capsule per day, one pack provides six recommended daily servings.
The individually listed ingredient amounts and the stated capsule weight are reproduced separately from the original label. We do not alter or reconcile those figures by making our own calculation.
Recommended use
Take 1 capsule daily, preferably on an empty stomach, with a glass of water.
Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. The packaging does not specify a fixed number of minutes before sexual activity or a guaranteed onset time, so no such timing claim is made here.

The product is not recommended for persons under 18 years of age.
Use is not recommended for people with high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease.
Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount.
Food supplements do not replace a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Storage
Store protected from light and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
