Why Indian Men Are Choosing African Herbs for Daily Energy

how to increase stamina naturally

If you’ve noticed more men in their 30s and 40s talking about herbal energy formulas lately, you’re not imagining it. Across India, there’s renewed interest in traditional adaptogens , the same herbs Ayurveda has relied on for generations, now combined with lesser-known African botanicals into a single daily formula.

The reason is simple. Modern routines quietly drain how active men feel through the day. Long hours at a desk, irregular sleep, skipped meals, constant screen time and the slow creep of age all chip away at energy and focus. By evening, many men feel they’re running on empty  and reaching for another cup of coffee only trades the problem for a crash an hour later.

That’s the gap a good herbal formula is meant to fill: steady, daily support instead of a short-lived spike. It’s an old idea wearing modern packaging, and it’s catching on fast.

What an "adaptogen" actually is

It’s a word you’ll see on a lot of labels, rarely explained. An adaptogen is simply a plant traditionally used to help the body cope with everyday stress and hold a steadier level of energy through the day. They aren’t stimulants, and they aren’t medicine. The whole idea is gentle, cumulative support — something built into a daily routine rather than taken for a quick hit.

What’s changed recently isn’t the herbs themselves. It’s the combination. Instead of buying four or five botanicals separately and trying to balance them yourself, formulas like Play More bring 25 of them together in measured amounts so they work as one. That’s the real shift — convenience and balance in a single daily step.

Why men are making the switch

The herbs worth knowing

You don’t need to memorise all 25, but four names do most of the heavy lifting in any serious men’s formula. Here’s what each one is traditionally used to support.

 

Asphaltum

Shilajit

A mineral-rich resin drawn from Himalayan rock, used in Ayurveda for centuries and traditionally linked to energy and stamina support.

Mucuna pruriens

Kaunch Beej

A bean-like herb long used in traditional preparations to support vitality and overall men’s wellness.

Withania somnifera

Ashwagandha

One of the most studied adaptogens, traditionally used to help the body manage stress and support calm, steady focus.

Chlorophytum borivilianum

Safed Musli

Sometimes called “white gold” in herbal circles — a classic men’s wellness herb in the Ayurvedic tradition.

These four are just the headline names. The remaining 21 herbs are chosen to work alongside them, so the formula supports the body as a whole rather than relying on any single ingredient.

How men actually use it

Part of the appeal is how little it asks of you. There’s no complicated protocol — it’s built to disappear into a routine you already have. 

Take it dailyFollow the simple dosage on the label, ideally at the same time each day.
Pair it with water or milkMost men take it with a glass of warm milk or water, after a meal.
Stay consistentHerbal formulas are about steady, daily support — consistency matters more than any single dose.

What to check before you buy any herbal supplement

Not every product on the market is made to the same standard, and the category has its share of vague “proprietary blends.” Before buying any herbal formula, it’s worth running through a short checklist — and a good brand will pass every line of it.

A quick buyer's checklist

Play More was built to meet exactly this checklist — which is a large part of why interest in it has grown steadily since it launched in India.
