MuscleForce Alpha Force Advanced TRI-Testosterone Booster Review First Look:

I did some bench press yesterday and the 396lbs (iso lateral bench press) was really beginning to hurt. I found it a real battle. Just 30 days previous I had actually benched 418lbs on the machine for 3 sets of 3 reps.

So why am I struggling with a lighter load?

I think I am not getting enough sleep for a start.

I also think I need a boost in testosterone levels to ensure that I am performing optimally, because that, I am not at present.

I have also started cycling to work which is about 14 miles per day, while not much is 14 miles more per day than I was cycling previously.

Maybe this is exhausting my body of the energy required, I am certainly eating much more than before too.

Therefore, coming across this little number from MuscleForce may offer a solution, it is called Alpha Force after all and who doesn’t want to be alpha?

Being in an all white bottle almost immediately seems to project an image of knowledge, authority and science.

I already have picked my top 3 testosterone boosters which perform excellently but I am always open to new products and seeing how well they can work.

Ingredients:

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 gym.

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.

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.

Zinc – An aphrodisiac and Testosterone Booster.

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.

Vitamin D – A great Testosterone boosting vitamin that must be taken advantage of to trigger further production of Testosterone in your body.

However, there are two types of Vitamin D. There’s calciferol (vita

min D₂) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃) – we are only interested in cholecalciferol which is D3; this is the type our skin synthesizes from the sun and becomes a hormone which results in the increases in our testosterone.

Research by the US Library of Medicine has shown that testosterone productions are increased with Vitamin D3 supplementation.

Fadogia Agrestis – Could be toxic and has no human studies to back up any claims.

Boron – Boron is great for the older lifter or those doing high weight low rep work as it helps to reduce inflammation, something that is found in PrimeMale, which I am a fan of.

Also helps raise testosterone levels.

Nettle Root – Good for reducing inflammation and an enlarged prostate but has no effect on testosterone.

BioPerine (Piper nigrum) – 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.

Arimistane (Androst 3,5-dien-7, 17-dione) – Theoretically may be able to increase testosterone levels. However, as no human or animal interventions have been conducted with Androsta-3,5-diene-7,17-dione we don’t actually know.

Spilanthes Acmella – A singular study in rats suggests this may increase testosterone but there’s nothing else.

Dose:

The recommended dose is 8 pills split first thing in the morning and then last thing at night.

This means we get a massive 9748mg per day which is very good.

It is better to have the 8 pills to be taken over the course of the day to ensure that your body gets a trickle of the nutrients to work with.

Effects & Benefits:

Out of the total 10 ingredients present it is shameful to see that just 3 ingredients are effective at stimulating more testosterone production.

This figure consists of D3, Boron and Zinc.

These 3 ingredients feature in the best testosterone boosters because of their ability to stimulate testosterone production.

Boron helps fight inflammation which can inhibit testosterone production and it can also increase T levels as well.

Most people are deficient in D3 and this vitamin turns in to a hormone when absorbed by the body, we tend to normally get our D3 from sunlight.

Zinc is a very important mineral for bodily function and also testosterone production.

Black pepper extract also known as Bioperine helps the body absorb all of the nutrients so we can make the most of them.

Nettle is useful, while it does not actually stimulate testosterone it can help fight inflammation which not only inhibits testosterone but too much inflammation can also be the source of chronic disease such as obesity.

Negatives:

The useful and effective ingredients amount to 5518mg which is still a high number but that still leaves us with 4230mg of ineffective ingredients remaining.

That means Tribulus, Spilanthes Acmella, Tongkat Ali and Arimistane are just not going to assist us at all in stimulating testosterone production from out body.

Tribulus and Tongkat Ali are often found in the worse performing testosterone products on the market.

It is almost if enough people see the names enough times they will believe they are good, beneficial ingredients.

Remember, they are not.

Fadogia can actually be toxic as well, so just bare that in mind when you reach for the bottle if you buy this product.

Arimistane does not pop up that often, however, as often or as absent as it is, it still doesn’t produce results.
