Take 2 Horsewood capsules once a day with an 8 oz glass of water, as the bottle label says. The sales page says 1 capsule, but the label's 30 servings per 60-capsule bottle only work at 2. The label names no time of day. If you miss a dose, skip it. Never exceed the label dose.
How do you take Horsewood in 5 steps?
The routine is short, and the label spells it out in one sentence: “As a dietary supplement, take Two (2) capsules daily with an 8 oz. glass of water.” Here it is in five steps.
- 1
Check the seal
Do not use a bottle if the safety seal is damaged or missing.
- 2
Take two capsules
Two capsules make one daily serving, and every amount on the panel is for those two together.
- 3
Add water
Wash them down with one 8 oz glass of water.
- 4
Repeat daily
Same cue, same amount, every day. Never more than 2 capsules.
- 5
Store it right
Keep it away from heat, light and humidity, and out of reach of children.
Key facts
- Dose: 2 capsules daily with an 8 oz glass of water.
- A bottle: 60 capsules, 30 servings, 30 days at the label dose.
- The label names no time of day, no food rule and no cycling schedule.
- Adults 18 and over. Under 18, pregnant or nursing, or with a known medical condition: ask a physician first.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose.
- Horsewood is not FDA approved, and it is not an ED treatment.
Is the Horsewood dose 1 capsule or 2 a day?
Two. The bottle label says two, and the label is the document that counts. The sales page and a paid press release say one, and they do not add up.
The math is the proof. The label lists 30 servings in a 60-capsule bottle. That only works at 2 capsules a day. The 6-bottle pack is sold as a 180-day supply, which also only works at 2.
| Source | Daily dose | Days per 60-capsule bottle |
|---|---|---|
| Bottle label | 2 capsules | 30 days, matches the label and the pack sizes |
| Sales page | 1 capsule | 60 days, which conflicts with the label's 30 servings |
| Paid press release | 1 capsule | Also lists the 2-capsule amounts as if per capsule |
This matters for amounts too. The 10 mg of tongkat ali is for the two capsules together. At one capsule a day you would take half of it. Follow the label on the bottle in your hand.
Can you take Horsewood every day, and how many capsules is too many?
The label directs daily use, at 2 capsules each day. The label also says not to exceed the recommended dose, and 2 capsules is the whole serving.
Do not double up. Taking two doses means 4 capsules a day, which is past the label limit. The label does not say whether to swallow both capsules together or split them. Either way, the daily total stays at 2.
How long is safe to keep going is not published. Tongkat ali trials ran from days to 6 months, and NIH LiverTox says long-term safety is not well known (NIDDK LiverTox, 2024). That is one more reason to tell your doctor you take it.
When should you take it, and with food or water?
Any time works, because the label gives no hour. What matters is choosing one cue and sticking with it. The label asks for an 8 oz glass of water. It does not mention food.
- Breakfast. Take 2 capsules with your first glass of water.
- Lunch. Keep the bottle at your desk or in your bag.
- After a workout. Take them with the water you drink anyway.
- Dinner. A good slot if mornings are rushed.
These are habit ideas, not label instructions. Choose one slot, not all four. If your stomach feels off, taking the capsules with a meal is an easy change, and a pharmacist can advise if it continues.
The label gives no guidance on alcohol, and no study of the formula exists. If you take other supplements, check for overlap, such as another tongkat ali, saw palmetto or boron product.
What if you miss a dose?
Skip it and carry on. Take your normal 2 capsules at your next usual time. Do not take 4 to catch up.
Missed it this morning
Take your 2 capsules later today, then go back to your usual time tomorrow.
Missed it yesterday
Let it go. Take your normal 2 capsules today and nothing extra.
Keep forgetting
Set a phone alarm, or park the bottle by the coffee maker or your toothbrush.
A simple bottle check shows if you are on track. At day 15 about 30 capsules should be left, and at day 30 the bottle should be empty. Extra capsules left over mean missed days.
Who should ask a doctor before the first capsule?
Several groups should get a clear yes first. The label tells anyone under 18, anyone pregnant or nursing, and anyone with a known medical condition to consult a physician.
Beyond the label, the herbs raise their own flags. Saw palmetto may add to bleeding risk with blood thinners and before surgery (MSKCC, 2023). Horny goat weed has case reports of fast heart rhythm and may affect blood pressure (Drugs.com, 2026). Tongkat ali has rare reports of liver injury (NIDDK LiverTox, 2024).
Bring the bottle or a photo of the label to the visit, so your doctor can see all seven lines. The side effects page lists the warning signs. Stop and get help for chest pain, fainting or heavy bleeding.
Before your first dose, confirm: 0 of 7 checked

Our view
The dose is the easiest part of Horsewood. Two capsules, one glass of water, every day. Where people go wrong is the sales page, which says one capsule, and the urge to take more to speed things up. Follow the bottle and stop there.
Pick one daily cue, run a simple bottle check at day 15 and day 30, and keep your order date for the guarantee. If you take any medicine or have a health condition, ask your doctor before the first capsule, and bring the label.
