Insane X Review (UK 2026)

By Jordan Harvey · 12 July 2026 · 9 min read

Insane X is a UK Amazon brand selling fast-acting maca and ginseng tablets for men in 10, 20, 30 and 40-count packs, priced from £9.99 to £29.99. It is sold by a single third-party seller and rates between 3.9 and 4.4 stars across its listings. This review looks at what is actually in the tablets, what the published evidence says about those ingredients, how the price per tablet stacks up, and how an “as-needed” pill compares with a daily formula like Blue Power.

Full disclosure: this article is published by Blue Power. We have worked to keep the comparison factual: every ingredient and price below is taken from the live Amazon listings, and where Insane X has a genuine advantage we say so. You can verify the ingredients and current prices on any Insane X product page on Amazon UK.

What Is Insane X?

Insane X is a men's supplement brand sold on Amazon UK and listed as “Natural Fast-Acting Maca Ginseng Tablets.” It sits in the crowded “blue tablet” corner of the men's category — products marketed as quick-acting, herbal, and taken before activity rather than every day. The brand is fulfilled through Amazon (FBA) and, at the time of writing, is offered by a single active third-party seller account roughly 18–19 months old.

Across its listings, Insane X sells the same core blend in several pack sizes. Customer ratings range from 3.9 to 4.4 stars depending on the pack, with review counts in the dozens rather than the thousands — a sign of a relatively new, lower-volume brand rather than an established high-street name. Like most products in this corner of Amazon, it is a food supplement, not a medicine, and is sold for general wellbeing rather than to treat any condition.

Insane X Ingredients: Maca and Ginseng

The two headline ingredients are maca and ginseng — the same botanical base used by dozens of similar Amazon products. The standard listing describes the blend by name but does not publish a full per-tablet milligram breakdown, which matters when you try to line the product up against clinical trials (more on that below).

Maca

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root vegetable from the Peruvian Andes, traditionally eaten as food and used as a tonic. In supplements it is studied mainly for mood and subjective wellbeing. For a fuller breakdown of the different types and doses, see our guide to maca root. The key point for this review: in trials, maca has been studied mainly for subjective wellbeing, and any reported effect appeared without a measured change in testosterone. These are findings about the ingredient at the doses studied, not claims for any branded tablet.

Ginseng

Ginseng — usually Korean or Panax ginseng — is one of the most-studied herbal tonics, traditionally used to support energy and resilience to stress. It is an adaptogen, meaning a plant studied for helping the body cope with everyday stress. The clinical picture is mixed: some small randomised controlled trials report improvements in energy and general wellbeing, others find little. We cover the detail in our Korean ginseng guide. As with maca, ginseng is not associated with a direct, reliable change in testosterone in healthy men.

What the Evidence Actually Supports

This is where a fast-acting maca and ginseng pill needs a careful read. Neither ingredient has the kind of large, pooled trial evidence that some other men's botanicals have, and the published findings are about specific extracts at specific doses — not necessarily what is inside any one branded tablet.

Maca: a frequently cited 12-week RCT found that maca improved self-reported sexual desire at 8 and 12 weeks, while explicitly finding no change in serum testosterone (Gonzales et al., Andrologia, 2002). So the honest framing is: maca's evidence is about a subjective sense of sexual desire, not a hormonal effect.

Ginseng: a 2021 systematic review of herbal supplements concluded that, across the category, the evidence for direct testosterone effects is generally limited and inconsistent for most botanicals, with only a few standing out (Martin et al., Nutrients, 2021). Ginseng's better-supported uses are around energy and general wellbeing rather than hormones. If you want the broader picture on how much of this category holds up, our explainer on do herbal supplements work walks through the evidence tiers.

Pack Sizes, Dosage and Price Per Tablet

Insane X is sold in several pack sizes at different price points. Because the brand sells essentially the same blend in 10, 20, 30 and 40-count packs, the most useful way to compare value is price per tablet. Here is how the current Amazon UK listings break down:

Prices and pack sizes from live Amazon UK listings and may change. Per-tablet figures are rounded.

The pattern is worth noting: the 20-count pack at around £1.05 a tablet is no cheaper than buying two 10-packs, so the only real value comes from the 30 and 40-count packs. On dosage, the standard listing does not publish a full milligram-by-milligram breakdown of the blend, so it is difficult to know exactly how much maca or ginseng each tablet delivers, or how that compares with the amounts used in published trials.

Safety and Red Flags to Weigh

Insane X is a food supplement, so the safety considerations are the usual ones for maca and ginseng products rather than anything specific to the brand. None of the points below is a reason for alarm — they are simply things a careful buyer should factor in.

• Undisclosed full dosing. The standard listing names the ingredients but does not publish a complete per-tablet milligram breakdown. Without it, you cannot check the blend against the doses used in trials — the single biggest transparency gap.
• “Fast-acting” framing. Speed-of-effect language is marketing, not a tested claim for a herbal tablet. Be cautious of any product that implies a guaranteed effect within a set time.
• Single-seller listing. The brand is sold by one third-party seller account around 18–19 months old, with modest review counts. That is not a problem in itself, but it is a younger, lower-volume brand than the high-street names.
• Ginseng interactions. Ginseng may interact with blood-thinning medication (such as warfarin) and with diabetes medication. If you take either, speak to your GP first.
• Stimulant sensitivity. Some “fast-acting” products in this category include stimulants. If you are sensitive to stimulants or have cardiovascular concerns, check the full ingredient list before buying.

Insane X vs a Daily Formula

The most important thing to understand is that Insane X and a daily formula like Blue Power are different types of product. Insane X is an as-needed, fast-acting pill of limited transparency taken before activity. Blue Power is a fully disclosed tablet, taken as needed, up to one tablet a day, as part of a varied diet and healthy lifestyle, built around named doses you can check. The table below lines them up on the points that matter.

How Blue Power Compares

If Insane X represents the simple maca-and-ginseng end of the market, Blue Power is built around the same base plus shilajit — the ingredient with a cited clinical-trial in this category (Pandit 2016 RCT) — alongside zinc and vitamin C, which carry authorised EFSA wording, all at fully disclosed doses.

The trade-off is straightforward. Insane X is cheaper to try and easy to buy on Amazon, but its full dosing is not published. Blue Power is a fully-dosed formula with transparent labelling and a wider ingredient list — designed for men who want to see every dose rather than an undisclosed pill — and it is taken as needed, up to one tablet a day. Neither is automatically “better”; it depends on what you are looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Bottom Line

Insane X is a reasonable, low-cost way to try a maca and ginseng tablet, and the 40-count pack is genuinely good value per tablet. Its limitations are transparency and evidence: the full doses are not published, and “fast-acting” is marketing rather than a tested result. The ingredients themselves are legitimate, but the human evidence behind them is modest — maca for subjective sexual desire, ginseng for energy and general wellbeing.

If you want a quick, cheap, Amazon-bought pill and you are comfortable not knowing the exact doses, Insane X does the job. If you prefer every ingredient and amount printed on the label — including shilajit (50mg), which Insane X does not list — a transparent daily formula like Blue Power is built for that purpose, taken as needed, up to one tablet a day. There is no single “best”; the right choice depends on what you actually want.
