Jellyfil Ingredients: All Nine on the Label
The Jellyfil label names nine ingredients that share one 82 mg blend.
The list runs from muira puama, maca and catuaba through green tea extract, caffeine and ashwagandha to L-arginine, tribulus terrestris and horny goat weed. Only caffeine shows a separate figure: 5 mg.
What are the nine ingredients in Jellyfil?
The printed panel names nine ingredients inside one proprietary blend: muira puama, maca, catuaba, green tea extract, caffeine at 5 mg, ashwagandha, L-arginine, tribulus terrestris and horny goat weed extract. Together they weigh 82 mg.
That is the whole active list. The sales page names six of the nine, so the last column below marks the three you will only find by reading the bottle.
| Printed order | Ingredient | What it is | Named on the sales page |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Muira Puama | Amazonian bark extract | Yes |
| 2 | Maca Extract | Peruvian root extract | Yes |
| 3 | Catuaba Bark | Brazilian bark extract | Yes |
| 4 | Green Tea Extract | Leaf extract, a caffeine source | No |
| 5 | Caffeine | A stimulant, printed at 5 mg | No |
| 6 | Ashwagandha | Root of an Indian shrub | Yes |
| 7 | L-Arginine | An amino acid | Yes |
| 8 | Tribulus Terrestris | A spiny vine extract | Yes |
| 9 | Horny Goat Weed Extract | Epimedium extract | No |
The order is neither alphabetical nor random, and on a proprietary blend it carries real information. The panel is typed out line for line on the Jellyfil Supplement Facts page.
How much of each ingredient does Jellyfil contain?
Only one of the nine has a published amount: caffeine, at 5 mg. The other eight share whatever is left of the 82 mg, and no breakdown exists on the label or the sales page.
That is allowed. A proprietary blend may declare one total weight and list its parts in descending order, with no number for any of them (FDA labeling guide). So the panel does tell you something real: nothing below muira puama weighs more than it, and horny goat weed is the smallest of the nine, or joint smallest. How much more, and how much less, nobody has published.

- Heaviest of the nineMuira puamaBy printed order, not by a number
The label adds a second figure that deserves equal billing: the blend is equivalent to approximately 567 mg of dry powders. That is the fairer picture, because an extract is concentrated. Neither number splits into nine parts. Our guide to proprietary blends covers why a blend total is not a dose.
The six Jellyfil ingredients the sales page also names
These six appear in both places, on the bottle and in the advertising, with their place in the printed order and what the research found.
1. Muira Puama
Ptychopetalum olacoides, bark and root. First in the blend, which by labeling rule means it is the heaviest of the nine.
Muira puama is an Amazonian bark with a long traditional reputation and very little controlled human research behind it. A review of ingredients common in sexual supplements found the clinical evidence for most of them thin (Srivatsav et al., 2020).
2. Maca Extract
Lepidium meyenii, root. A Peruvian root eaten as a food crop and sold worldwide as a supplement.
A systematic review of four randomized trials found limited evidence that maca improves sexual function, and said the number of trials, the sample sizes and the quality were too limited for firm conclusions (Shin et al., 2010).
3. Catuaba Bark
Erythroxylum vaccinifolium and others. A Brazilian bark. The name covers several unrelated plants, and the label does not say which one.
Catuaba has traditional use as an aphrodisiac and almost no controlled human trials. The same review of common aphrodisiac ingredients found no good clinical evidence for it (Srivatsav et al., 2020).
6. Ashwagandha
Withania somnifera, root. The most studied plant in the bottle, and the one with the clearest safety notes.
NCCIH says some ashwagandha preparations may help sleep and stress, that long-term safety is unknown, and that although rare, a number of cases have linked liver injury to ashwagandha supplements (NCCIH).
7. L-Arginine
an amino acid. The ingredient people recognise from circulation claims. Scale is the whole story here.
A review of aphrodisiac ingredients called L-arginine the only one to show reproducible improvement in erectile function across human trials, which makes the amount the whole question: those trials use grams, and NIH's Office of Dietary Supplements notes doses of 2 to 20 grams a day in the performance research (Srivatsav et al., 2020; ODS).
8. Tribulus Terrestris
puncture vine. Sold for decades on a testosterone story that the research has not backed up.
A controlled study in young men was titled, and concluded, that the aphrodisiac herb Tribulus terrestris does not influence androgen production (Neychev and Mitev, 2005).
Two of the six have almost no controlled human research. Two were tested and came back short of the marketing. One, L-arginine, has reproducible human results, which is exactly why the missing number matters. See how Jellyfil works.
The three Jellyfil ingredients only the printed label names
Green tea extract, caffeine and horny goat weed extract are on the Supplement Facts panel and off the sales page's list of six. None is hidden. They are on the bottle and not in the advertising.
4. Green Tea Extract
Camellia sinensis. On the printed panel, not on the sales page's list of six.
Green tea extract is a common source of caffeine in supplements. High-dose green tea extract has also been linked to rare cases of liver injury, which is why the amount matters (LiverTox, NIH).
5. Caffeine
5 mg, printed on the panel. The only ingredient inside the blend with its own number. Five milligrams is a very small amount.
For scale, the FDA points to 400 mg of caffeine a day as the level not generally tied to problems in healthy adults, and a cup of brewed coffee is roughly 95 mg (FDA).
9. Horny Goat Weed Extract
Epimedium. On the printed panel, not on the sales page's list of six. Its active flavonoid is icariin.
NIH's LiverTox describes horny goat weed as a traditional tonic and aphrodisiac whose active flavonoid is icariin, and rates it unlikely to cause clinically apparent liver injury (LiverTox, NIH).
What else is in a Jellyfil gummy?
The other ingredients line reads: corn syrup, cane sugar, water, apple pectin, sorbitol liquid, natural flavors, citric acid, sodium citrate dihydrate. That is the gummy itself, and it is why each one carries 10 calories and 3 g of added sugar.
Corn syrup and cane sugar come first, which is where the 3 g of sugar, all of it added, at 6% of the Daily Value comes from (FDA). Water, apple pectin and sorbitol liquid build the texture. The citrate is the likely source of the 4 mg of sodium. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol, and sugar alcohols give some people wind or loose stools.
The pectin deserves credit
Most gummies are set with gelatin, which comes from animals. This one uses apple pectin, which does not, so the gelling agent is not animal-derived. That is the part of the vegetarian seal the label supports. Natural flavors, further along the same line, is an undefined term, so the panel cannot settle the claim outright.
What the Jellyfil ingredient list cannot tell you
A full list of names is not a full label. Four things are missing.
- How much of any one of the eight unnumbered ingredients you swallow each day
- Whether any single ingredient comes near an amount that has been studied in people
- Which catuaba species is used, since the market name covers several unrelated plants
- What the eight plant extracts are standardized to, and at what ratio
None of that makes the ingredients bad. It makes them unmeasurable, which is a different and fairer complaint. The four phrases the sales page prints are taken one at a time on the Jellyfil benefits page.
Jellyfil ingredients: common questions
How many ingredients are in Jellyfil?
Nine, on the printed panel. The sales page names six and calls the product a 6-in-1 formula. The three it leaves out are green tea extract, caffeine at 5 mg and horny goat weed extract.
Does Jellyfil contain caffeine?
Yes, 5 mg, with green tea extract listed directly above it as a second natural source. A cup of brewed coffee runs around 95 mg, so one gummy is roughly a twentieth of a cup.
How much L-arginine is in each gummy?
Not published. L-arginine is seventh of nine inside an 82 mg blend, so the arithmetic caps it well under 82 mg. The research that found anything used 2 to 20 grams a day.
Is Jellyfil vegetarian?
The panel lists apple pectin and no gelatin, so the gelling agent is not animal-derived. Gummies commonly use gelatin, so that is a real point in the product's favour. Natural flavors, on the same line, is an undefined term, so the panel cannot settle the claim outright.
Which catuaba is in the bottle?
The label does not say. Catuaba is a market name for several unrelated Brazilian plants, so there is no way to match the ingredient to any particular study.
Does the printed order mean anything?
Yes. Inside a blend, ingredients run in descending order by weight, so nothing below muira puama weighs more than it and horny goat weed is the smallest, or joint smallest. The gaps are not published.
