What Is BlueChew GOLD? Ingredients, Strengths & How It Works

BlueChew GOLD is a compounded, sublingual ED medication that combines four active ingredients, sildenafil, tadalafil, apomorphine, and oxytocin, in one tablet. Most ED medications only support blood flow. GOLD is designed to support both the physical and the mental side of sexual performance, and it's the only BlueChew formula built to do both.

Desire starts in the brain, and when stress or performance anxiety get in the way, better blood flow alone may not be enough. 

Here's what's in GOLD, how each ingredient works, how fast it works and how long it lasts, and who it's best for.

• BlueChew GOLD combines sildenafil and tadalafil, the active ingredients in Viagra and Cialis, with apomorphine and oxytocin.
• Sildenafil and tadalafil support blood flow, apomorphine acts on arousal pathways in the brain, and oxytocin is linked to intimacy and relaxation.
• GOLD comes in three strengths: Base, High, and Extra.
• It dissolves under your tongue and typically starts working within 15–30 minutes. Its effects can last up to 36 hours.
• GOLD may be a good fit for men with performance anxiety, low desire, or partial results from single-ingredient ED medications.
• GOLD starts at $7.30 per dose. See the full price breakdown or take the quiz.

Each ingredient plays a different role, and the science behind GOLD's formula draws on decades of research on each one.

Sildenafil: Fast, Reliable Erection Support

Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, has a long track record of improving erections. It's a PDE5 inhibitor: during arousal, it blocks the PDE5 enzyme from breaking down cGMP, a molecule that relaxes the blood vessels in the penis. That lets more blood flow in, so it's easier to get and keep an erection.

In sublingual form, sildenafil may also start working faster than a swallowed pill. In GOLD, it provides the fast-acting foundation.

Tadalafil: Longer-Lasting Support

Tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis, is also a PDE5 inhibitor, but it works for up to 36 hours. That long window means you don't have to time sex precisely, which may help ease performance anxiety.

Together, sildenafil and tadalafil give GOLD fast onset plus long-lasting support.

Apomorphine: Supporting Arousal Through the Brain

Not all erection problems come down to blood flow. Apomorphine works on the central nervous system, stimulating dopamine receptors involved in sexual motivation and arousal.

Research on sublingual apomorphine found that doses in the 2–4 mg range may increase erections firm enough for intercourse, particularly in men with psychogenic or mixed ED, meaning ED with a mental component. Its onset is often rapid, within about 20 minutes. 

That's why GOLD can help bridge the gap between desire and performance, especially when ED is partly psychological.

Oxytocin: The Intimacy Hormone

Oxytocin, often called the "love hormone," is naturally released during touch, orgasm, and closeness. 

Research links it to sexual arousal, orgasm, and partner bonding, and studies suggest it may help reduce stress and anxiety. In men, oxytocin may also play a role in erectile function.

In GOLD, oxytocin is included to support intimacy and connection, so sex feels better for you and your partner.

GOLD comes in three strengths. Each contains the same four ingredients in different amounts, so your provider can tailor treatment to you.

Most men start with Base, and a provider can adjust from there.

Because GOLD dissolves under your tongue, it absorbs directly into the bloodstream and typically starts working within 15–30 minutes. Traditional swallowed pills can take 30–60 minutes. Taking GOLD on a relatively empty stomach may help, since food can slow absorption.

Thanks to tadalafil, GOLD's effects can last up to 36 hours. That doesn't mean a constant erection. It means your body stays more responsive to sexual stimulation during that window, so you don't have to plan sex around a pill.

1. Place the tablet under your tongue and let it dissolve completely.
2. Take it 15–30 minutes before sexual activity, or as your provider directs.
3. Remember that GOLD still needs sexual stimulation to work.

GOLD is taken as needed, not daily. Limit alcohol, which can increase dizziness and reduce effectiveness. If it's your first time, here's what to expect.

GOLD may be a good fit if you:

• Have performance anxiety, stress, or low desire that affects your erections
• Got partial or inconsistent results from single-ingredient ED medications, which is common when PDE5 inhibitors don't fully work
• Want a fast-acting option that also lasts up to 36 hours
• Prefer a tablet that dissolves under your tongue instead of a pill

If you've never taken ED medication, a provider may suggest starting with a single-ingredient formula like SIL or TAD. Comparing combination formulas? See how GOLD stacks up against MAX and VMAX.

GOLD is a prescription medication, so its active ingredients can cause side effects. Most are mild and short-lived.

• Sildenafil and tadalafil: headache, flushing, upset stomach, stuffy or runny nose, and back or muscle pain
• Apomorphine: nausea, dizziness or lightheadedness, yawning or drowsiness, and sweating
• Oxytocin: mild headache, flushing, nausea, and changes in blood pressure

Apomorphine-related side effects are most likely the first time you take GOLD and may become milder over time. For the full list, including serious side effects and how long they last, see our guide to BlueChew side effects.

GOLD is safe for most healthy men a medical provider approves for it. 

Don't take GOLD if you use nitrates for chest pain or guanylate cyclase stimulators, because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Because apomorphine can add to the blood pressure-lowering effect of sildenafil and tadalafil, tell your provider if you've ever had low blood pressure, fainting, or dizziness when standing.

A licensed medical provider reviews your health history and medications in your online intake before prescribing GOLD.

GOLD starts at $7.30 per dose. Your price depends on strength, quantity, and delivery, and quarterly plans cost about 35% less per dose than monthly. New patients get 10% off their first order. See the full GOLD price breakdown.

GOLD costs more than BlueChew's single-ingredient formulas, but far less than brand-name Viagra, which can cost $70 or more per pill and contains only one active ingredient. GOLD may be worth the extra cost if single-ingredient options haven't fully worked for you, or if the mental side of sex is part of the challenge.
