First Look:

This is clearly aimed at the older gentleman, not necessarily looking to pack on huge amount of muscle and strength but to benefit from less fatigue, more vigor and the fat loss a higher level of testosterone would offer. That said, this is all about packaging. Anything from the TOP 3 best testosterone boosters reviewed is suitable for those looking for massive gainz to those just looking to feel better overall.

Ingredients:

3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) – A compound derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale. DIM can prevent the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

Chrysin – Laboratory research suggests that chrysin might increase testosterone, but research in humans hasn’t found any effect on testosterone levels. The amount of chrysin that is absorbed from the intestine may be very small, which would make the effects unlikely.

Magnesium Oxide – Gastrointestinal side-effects, like diarrhea and bloating are more common when magnesium oxide, due to the lower absorption rates. However, magnesium binds testosterone with protein in your bloodstream it allows far great circulation of the male hormone around your body to then be effective. TestoFuel includes magnesium aspartate which prevents bloating issues.

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

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

Tongkat Ali – Eurycoma (LongJack) 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. However, there is a lack of evidence for testosterone boosting in humans, although some very limited evidence in animals.

Zinc – Studies show that this has a link with healthy testosterone production.

Copper – studies have shown that people with high amounts of copper actually have lower testosterone levels; it always puzzles me as to why manufacturers would include this.

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.

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.

Btea-Sitosterols – Research supports the fact that phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol, can reduce cholesterol levels. Some studies suggest that phytosterols may reduce the risk of some cancers, but more research is needed to know how well they really 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.

Red Clover – Red clover contains “isoflavones” which are changed in the body to “phytoestrogens” that are similar to the hormone estrogen. No eviudence whatsoever to suggest it has any real benefits.

Kudzu – Evidence may suggest kudzu contains ingredients that counteract alcohol. It might also have effects like estrogen. Lack of evidence though.

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.

For our in-depth ingredients guide checkout:

– Our best & worst testosterone booster ingredients –

Dose:

Just the 2 capsules per day to be taken with water in the morning. This equates to an insignificant 1385.5mg

Effects:

There’s only 4 active ingredient from 16. That’s a 25% hit rate. Try sweet talking your math teaching when your test scores only 25%, you’ll not get far.

So, Magnesium, Zin, Fenugreek and DIM are great. But, that’s where the party ends if I am being utterly honest.

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

Negatives:

There’s no issue of lack of ingredients here, there’s a plethora, the problem is they do not amount to a great deal (about half of anything well respected) and there’s 75% of crap included.

There’s also a proprietary blend hiding the exact break down of each ingredient content and tribulus which really grates me because it is absolutely unproven to stimulate testosterone but still appears everywhere.

People still recommend using tribulus on forums when advising a testosterone booster as part of someone’s post cycle therapy after steroids and it just does not work.

As we wade through more crap. I am also dumbfounded to see that there is copper included plus Kudzu and Red Clover which converts to estrogen..! Only handy if you want big, puffy nipples.

Which really leads me on to say, if you want an effective testosterone booster, go here.

Conclusion:

This is aimed at the older male. However, regardless of age and circumstance, this will not work particularly well. On the other hand, Prime Male which is suited to older guys definitely will.

There’s too few testosterone boosting ingredients such as D-Aspartic Acid, D3, B6, B12 and K2. That coupled with estrogen enhancing ingredients plus a wealth of others that are not proven, notwithstanding the proprietary blend and low overall dose results in a woeful product.
