Here's a men's supplement that does something I wish more brands did. MITA Nutra, the company behind Man Greens, prints the exact amount of every ingredient and says each batch is tested by an outside lab. It also publishes a certificate of analysis. That's a lot of transparency for this space.

Man Greens is a powder, not a capsule. The pouch holds 450 g, or 30 servings, in a natural orange flavor. One scoop a day, mixed into a drink.

What's in a scoop

• Organic spirulina, 5,000 mg

• Maca root extract (4:1), 1,500 mg

• Moringa leaf powder, 1,000 mg

• Organic beet root, 1,000 mg

• White button mushroom, 1,000 mg

• KSM-66 ashwagandha, 500 mg

• Forskolin, 250 mg

• Tongkat ali powder, 200 mg

The company says there's no proprietary blend, no artificial flavoring and no estrogenic ingredients.

The star: KSM-66

KSM-66 is one of the best known branded ashwagandha extracts, and 500 mg is right in line with the amounts used in several studies. In one trial with men who lifted weights, KSM-66 was linked with a bigger rise in testosterone than placebo, along with lower cortisol, the stress hormone. For a men's formula, that's exactly the ingredient you'd want leading the way.

The rest of the lineup

Maca at 1,500 mg of a 4:1 extract is the equivalent of about 6 g of the root. That's generous. Maca is an Andean root that's been eaten for thousands of years, and it has encouraging research for libido and energy.

Tongkat ali at 200 mg matches the amount used in some studies. It's a Southeast Asian root and one of the most popular herbs for men's vitality.

Then come the greens. Five grams of organic spirulina is a real nutritional serving and a good source of protein, iron and antioxidants. Moringa is a leafy green rich in vitamins and minerals. Beet root provides natural nitrates, which your body uses to support healthy blood flow. White button mushroom and forskolin round things out, both included by the company for hormone support.

So it's two products in one: a men's vitality formula and a solid greens drink. I think that's a clever combination.

The person behind it

The sales page is a long letter from Chad Howse, author of The Man Diet. It's personal and passionate, and it covers ashwagandha's ancient history in Ayurvedic tradition.

Ways to buy

The sales page order table shows:

• One bag: $79

MITA Nutra's own store also sells Man Greens at $79.95 a bag with free US shipping, bundles and a 365-day guarantee, so it's worth comparing both.

Who it's made for

Men who want a greens drink and a stress and vitality formula in one scoop, with every dose printed and third party testing. If you appreciate knowing exactly what you're taking, it's one of the most transparent men's products I've come across. Expect gentle, steady support for stress, energy and drive.

Pair it with the basics that support healthy testosterone most: good sleep, strength training and a healthy weight.

A friendly note. Ashwagandha can affect thyroid levels and has been linked to rare liver problems, so check with your doctor if you have a thyroid or autoimmune condition, liver concerns, or take sedatives. Forskolin can lower blood pressure and may interact with blood thinners.

If an orange flavored men's greens drink sounds good, you'll find the current options on the official Man Greens page.
