What STUD is, in one sentence.

A 30-day supply of capsules in a proprietary blend, fronted by an adult-film actor, sold at $65 with a hidden autoship subscription, and refundable through ClickBank for 60 days.

The marketing calls it a “monster offer” that helps you “last longer, perform stronger, and crush the bedroom.” The bottle doesn’t show you what’s inside or how much of anything you’re actually getting. That gap — between the promise and the label — is the entire business model.

What you actually get

Four things show up after you hand over your card:

  • One bottle of STUD capsules. 30 servings. The sales page does not display a Supplement Facts panel, so you’re buying a mystery blend until the bottle arrives.
  • A digital “performance guide” PDF. Generic advice — breathing techniques, confidence tips, the kind of content that gets repackaged across every men’s-health funnel. Worth $0 if you’ve ever read a men’s health blog.
  • A “members area” login. Mostly upsell videos and affiliate cross-sells. You’ll click around for five minutes and never return.
  • A recurring billing agreement. Unless you cancel, you’ll be charged $65 again next month and shipped another bottle. This is how the vendor makes real money, not from the front-end sale.

How the marketing oversells

The sales page is written for affiliates, not buyers. It’s littered with network jargon: “insane CVRs & EPCs,” “8x Platinum Vendor,” “$20M+ in sales.” None of that tells you whether the supplement works. It tells you the funnel converts traffic into sales — two entirely different things.

Stirling Cooper’s name and face do the heavy lifting. An award-winning adult film star implies expertise, but on-screen performance has nothing to do with supplement formulation. The implication is “he uses this and performs like he does on camera.” That’s marketing sleight-of-hand, not a clinical endorsement.

The recurring billing is disclosed, but buried. The front-end price looks like a one-time purchase — $65 for a bottle. The checkout flow is designed to make you click past the subscription terms. Most buyers realize they’re in a continuity program only when the second charge hits.

What’s in the bottle (and what’s missing)

Without a label, we can only go by what’s common in this category. Male-performance supplements typically include:

  • L-arginine or citrulline — amino acids that boost nitric oxide for blood flow. Clinical doses start at 3–6 grams per day. A proprietary blend that totals 1–2 grams per serving can’t deliver that.
  • Maca root — some evidence for libido at 1.5–3 grams daily. Again, impossible to hit in a multi-ingredient blend unless the capsule is the size of a golf ball.
  • Tribulus terrestris — often included for testosterone claims. The evidence is weak, and effective doses (if any) are in the 750–1,200 mg range.
  • Zinc — useful if you’re deficient, but a single capsule won’t correct a poor diet.

When a label hides behind a “proprietary blend,” the manufacturer can sprinkle in expensive-sounding ingredients at subclinical dust levels while padding the capsule with cheap fillers. You’re not buying a formula; you’re buying a story.

What it costs and how the refund works

$65 at the initial checkout, then $65/month until you cancel. The vendor counts on you forgetting or finding cancellation just annoying enough to let it ride for a few months.

ClickBank’s 60-day refund policy applies. You can return even an empty bottle for a full refund of the purchase price (shipping not always included). The process: contact ClickBank support with your order ID, request a refund, and it usually processes in under a week. We’ve verified this works across dozens of ClickBank supplements. The vendor can’t block it.

If you’re curious enough to buy, treat it like a library loan: order, try it for two weeks, and request a refund on day 50. Cancel the subscription immediately after purchase to avoid the next charge. That’s the only way to engage with this product without losing money.

Who should buy, who should skip

There is no buyer profile for whom this is a smart purchase. The only scenario where STUD makes sense is if you’re determined to test it inside the refund window and are disciplined enough to cancel the subscription the same day you order.

Skip this if:

  • You want a supplement with a transparent label and clinically meaningful doses.
  • You don’t want to manage a recurring billing trap.
  • You think sexual performance is built in the gym, the kitchen, and the relationship — not in a capsule named STUD.

The honest read

STUD is a recurring-billing vehicle wearing a celebrity endorsement. The pill itself is almost beside the point — it’s the subscription that funds the affiliate payouts and keeps the funnel alive. The $20M in sales number is real, but it measures how well the offer converts, not how well it works.

If you strip away the marketing, you’re left with a proprietary blend of common herbs, a PDF you won’t read, and a monthly charge you didn’t intend. The 60-day refund window is the only redeeming feature, and it exists because ClickBank mandates it, not because the vendor stands behind the product.

Read the label. If you can’t find one before you buy, that’s your answer.

Here's what I'd actually do

If the sales VSL got you to reach for your card before the ingredient panel got you to ask any questions:

Close this tab. STUD – The Ultimate Male Performance Booster! is in the band where the marketing is doing the heavy lifting and the formula is not. There are evidence-based versions of every promise on that sales page, and most of them cost a third of the price with full label transparency.

Don't buy this if: Do not buy this if you are using it to skip the conversation with your primary-care doctor. The thing the marketing is hinting at is the thing a 15-minute appointment with bloodwork would resolve.

Frequently asked questions

Is STUD a scam?
Legally, no. You get a bottle of pills and a PDF. The scam is the value proposition: you're paying $65 for a proprietary blend that almost certainly underdoses every active ingredient, with a recurring charge you might forget to cancel. The product exists; the benefits don't.
What's actually in STUD?
The sales page doesn't show a Supplement Facts panel. Without it, you're buying a mystery blend. If the label uses a 'proprietary blend,' the total blend weight is listed but individual amounts are hidden — a classic way to sprinkle in cheap ingredients at useless doses.
How does the subscription work?
On checkout, you're likely enrolled in a monthly autoship program. You'll be billed $65 each month and sent a new bottle unless you cancel. ClickBank handles the billing, so cancel through them or your ClickBank account. The refund window applies to each shipment.
Will it make me last longer or 'crush the bedroom'?
No pill replaces technique, communication, or cardiovascular health. The ingredients in typical male-enhancement blends (arginine, maca, tribulus) have mixed evidence at best, and only at doses far higher than what fits into a single capsule. This is a hope-in-a-bottle play.
