SuperMale Testosterone Booster Review First Look:

We all want to be super, don’t we? Super man, super awesome, super massive, super strong, super shagger…the list is endless.

This is exactly who this supplement may help us, it is called SuperMale after all.

I can tell you for sure that on Saturday night I was super drunk, so potentially its effects are already encroaching my life.

Quite frankly, it needs to. Weights again today so I want to be lifting good and strong, no pissing around like a little girl. Nope, I want to hit it hard.

I also want to feel much better within myself considering I have the boozy blues, so a testosterone booster can also help with my mood as well as muscle size and strength.

Well, only good testosterone boosters can do that, let’s see what this is up to.

Ingredients:

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.

Maca Root – This Peruvian strain of ginseng is great for lifting libido and mood, however, when it comes to raising testosterone levels it has no effect at all. No significant influences on testosterone in any tested demographic I’m afraid.

L-Arginine – This is found in many pre workout supplements or products designed to make you more vascular.

L-Arginine opens up the blood vessels and arteries to assist with blood flow, nothing really to do with testosterone but may assist with any impotency issues that are not helping you attain that hot chick in the gym who is 15 years your junior.

However, you will require 5g per day alone!

Panex Ginseng – This form of Ginseng is the most highly researched. There’s lots of evidence which suggest cognitive function, mood and immunity is increased.

There is evidence for better erections and an increase in testosterone production for infertile men.

Eleutherococcus Senticosus (Siberian Ginseng) – Whilst there is evidence that this can actually help treat herpes and reduce the severity of cold and flu, there is very little solid evidence to reliably suggest this helps increase testosterone or increase strength.

This is where transparency becomes severely clouded as we are hit with a proprietary blend which means we are not entirely sure of the ingredient profile breakdown:

Sarsaparilla – Athletes sometimes use sarsaparilla as a steroid for performance enhancement. Some supplement makers claim that chemicals (sterols) in sarsaparilla can be converted to anabolic steroids like testosterone. But this is a false claim.

Pumpkin Seed – Pumpkin seeds are great for Magnesium which is good for testosterone production.

Muira Puama – No real scholarly studies or evidence available from reliable sources that would suggest that this stimulates testosterone production.

This may help with improving sexual function when combined with Ginkgo but other than that there’s not much to go on.

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

Cayenne Pepper – The hot and spicy taste of cayenne pepper comes from capsaicin, a compound found in many hot peppers. Capsaicin is known to boost metabolism, causing the body to produce extra heat and burn more calories for fuel. This is found in our favorite fat burner Instant Knockout.

Licorice – May have many various uses, the main being to sooth heartburn and inflamed skin, but for the rest there’s really a lack of evidence to deem it useful.

Astragalus – Bit of an all-rounder, this antioxidant helps protect the body against various stresses, including physical, mental, or emotional stress.

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.

Catauba – Used to heighten sexual arousal and treat male sexual performance problems.

Oyster Powder – Research of this mollusc has shown that is aids your body to increase testosterone.

Orchic Substance – Claimed to help stimulate testosterone in men. However, there is currently no evidence to support this claim.

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.

It also failed to provide any benefit hen tested on a bunch of professional Australian rugby players.

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.

Dose:

Just the 2 tablets per day which isn’t entirely the best dosing strategy.

It is recommended that we have at least 4 tablets spread evenly across the day, as per the best testosterone booster on the market.

When you have more doses throughout the day it ensures your body always has nutrients to work with.

Each daily serving only equates to a low 1770mg.

This is much lower than effective products such as Prime Male.

Effects & Benefits:

There’s a host of ingredients found in this testosterone booster which can potentially have a positive impact…potentially.

These are ingredients such as:

Boron
Nettle
L-Arginine
Pumpkin (Magnesium)
Cayenne
Astragalus
Oyster

Boron helps ward off inflammation which can have a detrimental effect on testosterone levels. Nettle also has similar effects.

Boron is found in Prime Male which we rate as a great testosterone booster.

L-arginine is useful for increased blood flow as it dilates the blood vessels but a large amount is required, in fact 5000mg is required at least and this only provides 250mg.

Pumpkin and Oyster are also good testosterone boosting ingredients and often found in effective testosterone boosters.

Oyster powder is actually found in TestoFuel.

A further ingredient that cannot be dismissed is Cayenne. This is often found in fat burners because of its thermogenic properties.

So the question is, why is it in a testosterone booster?

High levels of testosterone actually reduces fat, therefore having a thermogenic ingredients can mimic the effects of increased testosterone.

Astragalus can help reduce stress and act as an anti-oxidant. While Catauba is seen to help with any male sexual performance issues to ensure you are a SuperMale.

Negatives:

Any product that consists of a proprietary blend should be avoided due to the the non disclosure of the actual ingredient content.

Bare in mind that this product is already under-dosed overall for each daily serving, plus there’s a low daily serving as well.

We also have no idea which Ginsengs are included in the Ginseng blend. We know that Panax Ginseng as found in TestoFuel is well researched and beneficial, however others are not…

L-arginine, while effective in the correct doses will offer no benefit in this situation because it is short by 4750mg! That’s a big shortfall.

There’s also the renowned Tribulus which seems to be renowned for building strength yet has never been proven to do this. I always avoid this at all costs.

As mentioned, Cayenne has been included to essentially fake the effects of testosterone…shame on SuperMale.

Then we also have Tongkat Ali, Siberian Ginseng, Maca, Sarsaparilla, Muira, Licorice, Avena Sativa and Orchic which are just not proven to help stimulate testosterone at all.

SuperMale Testosterone Booster Review Conclusion:

This is not a product I would buy to help me become super at anything unless it is to super waste my money.

The issue is that while there are some good ingredients contained in this product the dose is ineffective, therefore they may as well not be included.

There is also the proprietary blend which offers no confidence in a product that appears to be lacking in the first place.

Plus a whole bunch of ineffective ingredients are included too.

With so many other, much more competent testosterone boosters on the market and with this offering no boosting prowess it seems churlish to opt with this one.

Take a look at what works to maximize your workouts.
