First Look:

I hate to say it but this really is turning me off a bit, the mere mention of a ‘free test amplification blend’ and a guy who is clearly on steroids just makes me think this is bullshit.

It may well get the attention of the guys who are teenagers and early twenties but for me with the chains in the background, a red bull and holographic text it is more YMCA than DHEA.

Take a look at our Top 3 boosters for something effective.

Ingredients:

Holy shit, I am unbelievably bewildered by this mash up of blends, agents, compounds and amplifiers.

There is literally no need or all of this jargon, it is there to simply baffle customers into thinking they have got the next scientific breakthrough in testosterone stimulation when actually it is all very simple, none of this crap is required.

Let’s see if the ingredients are worth the hype, as of yet I am unsure. I am going to ignore the unrequited blends such as Vovaldim, Testolock etc because this is purely a marketing tactic and actually mean nothing at all.

Of course now we delve even closer these blends are proprietary blends, if you read much of this site you will know that my hatred for proprietary blends is up there with ISIS.

A proprietary blend is the biggest scam in the supplement industry and anything containing one should well be avoided.

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.

Fenugreek Seed (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum) – It is claimed by researchers that fenugreek works to increase testosterone or androgen levels, which decrease as you age.

Tribulus – Once again, the old tribulus raises its ugly head. The problem is that because this has been touted about for so long as a bit of a miracle plant extract used by the mysterious Eastern Bloc Olympic Athletes during the Cold War people have started to believe the hype and it is an easily recognizable ingredient the ill informed will have heard about down the gym. The issue is that it has not been scientifically proven to raise testosterone levels in any shape or form.

Avoid like a medieval plague if you are looking for muscular gainz.

Longjack (Eurycoma Longifolia, Tongkat Ali) – Is a pro-fertility agent and aphrodisiac that appears to have a large body of evidence supporting this role and some evidence suggesting it may be an anti-estrogen and pro-erectile agent. Although there’s some research to suggest it may increase testosterone levels in animals and humans it is pretty lackluster which doesn’t bode too well.

Horny Goat Weed – Epimedium, the suspected active component of horny goat weed, appears to act as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, similar to some drugs used for erectile dysfunction. It does not, however, stimulate testosterone production.

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

Alpha Lipoic Acid – Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant made by the body. It is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants attack “free radicals,” waste products created when the body turns food into energy. Free radicals cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells, making it harder for the body to fight off infections.

Polygonum Cuspidatum (Japanese Knotweed) – It seems this is great for inflammation but nothing on testosterone levels.

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.

BioPerine – The extract of piperine, called BioPerine® in the patented form, has been clinically tested in the United States. BioPerine® significantly enhances the bioavailability of various supplement nutrients through increased absorption.

Dose:

3 pills per day – this amounts to 1800mg of ingredients daily. 3 pills isn’t too bad as a dose but 4 pills per day is better to avoid peaks and troughs of the ingredients to take full effect.

Effects:

I bloody knew it. After all of the hype, the drama and marketing buzzwords to whet our appetites, only 2 ingredients really have any effect on testosterone.

The rest can help with inflammation or the bio-availability of the ingredients but it is mainly made up of ingredients that are always touted to stimulate testosterone but are never actually proven to do so.

So while there are 2 decent ingredients here, they’re not going to do a great deal as a pair alone, it is lacking the full plethora of required, proven ingredients to be fully effective.

The products in our top3 offer more D-Aspartic Acid alone than this does with nearly every ingredient included.

Negatives:

It only offers two, proven ingredients to assist with testosterone stimulation, I find that pretty lacklustre especially considering all the hype behind the marketing and the big body builder who looks like he is appearing in a strip show at a gay club.

The overall daily dose is administered with only 3 tablets per day when really 4 is best, there are countless ‘blends’ here which do not entirely disclose the full amount of each ingredient present plus the RRP is $84.95 – that is pretty scandalous for a lot of ingredients that are proven to have the exact opposite effect of what we are trying to achieve.

Conclusion:

I feel that instead of spending money and time on research and development they have decided that they would probably get higher and quicker returns by formulating and releasing a very assertive and confident marketing drive which would convince many people, especially if they are new to supplements or have done no research.

They’ve laden their website and packaging with very confident statements and claims, which, when you dig deep are not really fulfilling.

However, by that point you would already have sent them over nigh on $85.

There is a real lack of quality and proven ingredients in a no-nonsense, easy to understand and read package.

To make this effective they would have to ditch over 50% of the current ingredients and include ingredients found in our favorite and highly regarded testosterone boosters such as D-Aspartic Acid, D3, B6, B12 Zinc, Magnesium, Oyster Extract…the list goes on.
