Advanced Nutrition Systems ISO T-Drive Testosterone Booster Review
My Advanced Nutrition Systems ISO T-Drive Test Booster First Look:
You would be forgiven for thinking this exactly the same product from the same company but called ISO Test instead of T-Drive.
There’s not really a great of physical difference if the packages are sat side by side.
Either way, they both look good and more importantly, they look effective.
It is reminiscent of products such as TestoFuel which makes a big impact through clever and considered design.
The black box is broken up by the solid white font with a hint of red which gives it a sense of purposefulness and masculinity which I like.
And, considering the hype surrounding this product with the guys in the gym, I am willing to see if this natural T booster can live up to the noise.
Ingredients:
Magnesium D-Aspartic Acid Chelate
This is fairly confusing though, it lists all of the ingredients but there’s a ‘ISO – T Boosting Complex’ which we know nothing of the content.
Zinc Picolinate
An aphrodisiac and Testosterone Booster, but it will only raise testosterone levels if the user is deficient in zinc.
Zinc is also very important for the functioning of the enzyme, hormone, and immune systems.
In very high doses, zinc can act as an aromatase inhibitor and reduce estrogen levels. It is also a potent antioxidant and can provide benefits for prostate issues.

In addition, Zinc Piconilate has a much higher absorption rate compared to other forms of zinc.

Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 helps testosterone levels by stimulating androgen (a steroid hormone that acts as a precursor for testosterone) receptors in your body, making your testes produce testosterone.

Calcium
Results show that training results in increased testosterone levels in athletes and that the increase is greater if accompanied by calcium supplementation.

However, a recent study has warned against calcium supplementation due to the increased risk of a heart attack.

DIM (Diindolylmethane)
Diindolylmethane appears to promote a healthy balance of testosterone in the body and is found in vegetables such as broccoli.

Ashwaganda
Studies have shown that treatment with Ashwagandha root extract resulted in a higher level of testosterone and a concomitant increase in serum levels of LH among infertile men having sub-optimal testosterone levels.
It’s difficult to see if the same result would be found with guys who do not have any fertility issues. So the question is, are you infertile?
If you’ve been banging your missus (or even your mistress, we shouldn’t be even talking if you have smashed your sister) unprotected and have miraculously not had a sprog you probably are infertile…sorry to break that to you, bro.

Tribulus
Once marveled, now known to have no effect on testosterone levels, by now supplement manufacturers should really let go.
Avoid like a medieval plague if you are looking for muscular gainz.
The issue is that it has not been scientifically proven to raise testosterone levels in any shape or form.
In fact, in studies using elite professional Australian rugby players as participants Tribulus did not produce the large gains in strength or lean muscle mass that many manufacturers claim can be experienced.

Avena Sativa (Oat)
This is a type of oat that has been seen to raise luteinzing hormones in the body, which are a precursor to testosterone and growth hormone.
Not a great deal of real, heavy evidence if anything at all but the hallmarks of something good are there. A bit of a gamble. In plenty of T-Boosters that do not work.
Saw Palmetto
This fatty acid was long touted to help boost testosterone levels, but those claims turned out to be false.
It is effective in suppressing prostate growth though. So could help if you are taking steroids or Prohormones.

Carduus Mar (Milk Thistle)
A great ingredient used to flush out and protect the liver as well as help repair cells but more required for anyone doing a course or Prohormones or oral anabolic steroids, not really warranted for this product unless you are a heavy drinker as well. Hic!

Dose:
There is a 2 pills per day recommended dose.
We prefer 4 pills spread across the day to evenly spread the nutrients out and prevent massive peaks and troughs.
4 pills are the doses of our benchmark products. A daily serving is 1046mg.
Pros:
There are 5 solid ingredients that are proven to be effective.
However, this is from 10 ingredients so only a 50% hit rate.
The ingredients present though present this product to be more than useful that probably 90% of the testosterone boosters we see and should see an elevation in testosterone levels.
However, it isn’t without its flaws I am afraid; there is nothing like B12, K2 or D3 present.
So it can potentially be really quite effective…within reason.
Pros:
On GNC.com this is priced at $129.99, can you believe that?!
This not only includes the damned tribulus but also a proprietary blend which almost discounts and great feelings we have about the good 5 ingredients.
The problems with tribulus is that it does nothing to stimulate testosterone but it is almost ubiquitous amoong testosterone boosters, well, bad ones anyway.
And, the bad thing about proprietary blends is that it is used almost as a vehicle to hide and mask the exact amounts of each ingredient listed.
This means only trace amounts could be available and the rest being filler or just masses of the cheapest ingredient.
Not only this, there are other ingredients such as milk thistle and saw palmetto which maybe useful for someone on steroids but not on anything like this.
It is just there to project an image of almost steroid like results.
It is worth reiterating that in our top 3 rated testosterone boosters they have around 8 solid ingredients which all have proof backing their usefulness and it is the same with fat burner’s too.
My Advanced Nutrition Systems ISO T-Drive Conclusion:
From initially reading the ingredients this product looks promising, although only half of the ingredients are proven to be effective this still would beat much of the unscrupulous efforts that are out on the open market.
However, where it lets itself down is the proprietary blend meaning we have no real idea of the actual content, this is not the way of a responsible manufacturer and is not the practice for a quality product.
Let us not forget the shame of including Tribulus too which has been proven not to work in studies using professional athletes.
This could have had a good score, but when it boils down to it, it just is nowhere as good as some of the competition.
