It’s not just age. In national health survey data, average testosterone in American men aged 15 to 39 dropped 25%. Today’s man is up against more than his father was.
Another study followed more than 1,500 men and found testosterone falling about 1% to 1.4% a year, independent of age. Keep that pace for 30 years and a man in his 50s today could have roughly 25% to 35% less testosterone than a man his age had 30 years ago.
Vital Man is built to support healthy testosterone production, drive and male vitality with two capsules a day.

Why bison · Tale of the tape
Bison vs. bull vs. sheep.
Sheep are soft. Cattle are domesticated. Bison are one of the strongest animals on the planet, and it shows up in the lab. Independent testing measured the testosterone naturally present in freeze-dried testicle powder from each animal.

Inside the formula / 03
Three targeted ingredients. Nothing proprietary.
01
Testicle
700 mg
Freeze-dried testicle (bison/bovine). Male-specific organ nutrition with naturally occurring nutrients, peptides and cofactors, without added hormones.
Traditional contextNose-to-tail food traditions valued male organ tissues as nourishing foods associated with strength and vigor.
02
LJ100® Tongkat Ali
200 mg
Clinically studied, dosed and standardized Tongkat Ali, guaranteed to contain 40% glycosaponins and 22% eurypeptides. The 200 mg daily dose used in human research supports healthy testosterone levels, sexual performance, drive, strength and recovery.*
03
Heart
100 mg
Freeze-dried heart (bovine/bison). A whole-food source of CoQ10, B vitamins and amino acids for everyday energy and stamina.
Traditional contextTraditionally eaten as a nourishing food associated with strength and endurance.
Two capsules. Three ingredients. Whole testicle and heart, paired with a standardized Tongkat Ali extract at the dose used in human research.
*Based on ingredient research on LJ100® at 200 mg a day, not a study of finished Vital Man. Standardization percentages are the supplier’s specification for the extract. Individual results vary.
Traditional use describes historical food or botanical use; it is not evidence that this product diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents disease.
The Human Nature difference
Not another mystery blend.
Whole testicle and heart plus a standardized Tongkat Ali extract, every amount on the label. Here’s how it stacks up against TRT and the usual alternatives.

TRT is a prescription treatment for diagnosed low testosterone. Because it supplies testosterone from outside the body, it can suppress the body’s own production, and stopping is something to plan with your doctor. Vital Man is a dietary supplement, not a substitute for TRT. Supplement features vary by brand; check the current label.
The LJ100® difference
Not all Tongkat Ali is created equal.
We chose LJ100® for one reason: proof. It is clinically studied in humans, used here at the 200 mg daily dose from that research, and standardized so every batch is guaranteed to contain 40% glycosaponins and 22% eurypeptides. Plenty of men are wary of TRT and want a natural way to support healthy testosterone. If that’s you, the extract matters.

What the 200 mg research saw
Week 4. Then week 12.
A 12-week randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the extract at 200 mg a day.
Week 4Up vs. placebo
Total testosterone was already significantly higher than placebo, and stayed ahead at weeks 8 and 12.
Week 12+12.2%
Average total testosterone rose from 200.5 to 225 ng/dL with no hormones injected, while placebo slipped 2.8% (183 to 177.9). Fatigue and ageing-male symptom scores also improved versus placebo.
Chinnappan et al., Food & Nutrition Research, 2021: 105 men aged 50–70 who started with total testosterone under 300 ng/dL, given 200 mg, 100 mg or placebo daily. The paper names the extract Physta®, which the LJ100® supplier cites as LJ100® research. Funded by the extract’s manufacturer. Ingredient research, not a study of finished Vital Man; individual results vary.

Source is part of the formula
Raised on land. Not built in a lab.
Human Nature works with 50+ independently owned bison ranches and is a Partner in Restoration with the National Bison Association. Better sourcing should support the animal, the grassland, the rancher and the person taking the finished formula.
Light Labs tested Vital Man lot PNPL-1019-01, the lot printed on the first production pouches, for 189 specific substances, and it passed every reported check: no glyphosate, pesticides, E. coli, salmonella or staph detected, and heavy metals far inside their limits.

WHOLE-FOOD ORGANS◆STANDARDIZED LJ100®
Why the form matters
Ancestral foundation. Clinical precision.
Vital Man pairs two things that rarely share a capsule: whole testicle and heart, freeze-dried and milled without stripping anything out, and LJ100®, a Tongkat Ali root extract standardized to a set specification, at the 200 mg daily dose used in human research. Every amount is on the label. Nothing hides in a proprietary blend.
Good questions
Know before you start.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
01What packaging arrives with a subscription?+
Each subscription shipment contains refill pouches. A matching reusable metal canister is included as a free gift with the first standalone subscription shipment.
02What is in Vital Man?+
Each two-capsule serving contains 700 mg testicle, 200 mg LJ100® Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) root extract and 100 mg heart. The panel lists the testicle as Bison/Bovine and the heart as Bovine/Bison. Gelatin is the only listed Other Ingredient. One pouch holds 60 capsules, a 30-day supply.
03What makes LJ100® different from other Tongkat Ali?+
LJ100® is a standardized water extract of Tongkat Ali root. Standardization means every batch is made to the same specification for its marker compounds, rather than an unstandardized root powder. Vital Man uses 200 mg, the daily dose used in the human studies its supplier cites.
04Is Vital Man clinically proven?+
The LJ100® ingredient has human clinical research at 200 mg a day. That does not establish clinical proof for the finished Vital Man formula. Study populations, designs and durations differ; the research section on this page links the original sources.
05Is this TRT or a hormone?+
No. Vital Man is a dietary supplement, not testosterone replacement therapy or a prescription treatment, and no hormones are added. Organ tissues naturally contain biological compounds. If you use TRT or other hormone therapy, talk with your doctor before adding Vital Man.
06When should I take it?+
Take two capsules daily with food and water, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
07How soon will I notice a difference?+
There is no universal timeline. The LJ100® studies ran for four weeks or longer, so give the routine at least a month of consistent use and compare your weeks, not a single day. Individual experiences vary.
08Should I talk to my doctor first?+
Vital Man is intended for adult men. Talk with a qualified healthcare professional before use if you take prescription medication, including beta-blockers; use testosterone or other hormone therapy; or have liver disease, a heart-rhythm condition or a hormone-sensitive condition such as prostate cancer. If you are concerned about low testosterone, ask your doctor about testing.
09Can I combine it with Human Potential and Fine Tune?+
Human Potential is the broad foundation, Vital Man the male-specific layer and Fine Tune the mineral layer. Review the combined labels and your individual needs with your healthcare professional.
10Is it third-party tested?+
Yes. Light Labs tested Vital Man lot PNPL-1019-01 for 189 substances, including glyphosate compounds, heavy metals, pesticides and microbials, and it passed every reported check. Open the results on this page, or ask support for the original certificates.
