Herbal Testosterone Boosters

[Rhino 2.0]

I just bought a herbal "free testosterone booster" as what it claims to do on the bottle. It has tribulus, fenugreek, muira puma, avena saliva, eurycoma longfolia, and DIM. Than is also has a max GH blend which consist of ashwaghanda, maca, and suma powder. Didn't know if any of these herbs are worth giving a shot to try and boost my free testosterone or not. I hope they work.

I also heard that DAA(D- aspartic acid) works the best out of all of them.

They range from totally useless to possibly having a minimal and but not physiological relevant change in T and one popular "T booster" was recently shown to lower T at higher doses, so yes, you wasted your $. I cover OTC "T boosters" as a catagory HERE if interested.

What T booster was shown to lower T in higher doses?

If those things worked, none of us would have spent time and money consulting doctors and adopting a TRT protocol. I've broken out Will's link (above), as he does a masterful job of spelling things out. The Facts On Testosterone Boosting Supplements | BrinkZone.com

[j4ever]

some people try to say that daa is good if you are older with low t, when I was 45 I did bw before and after use, tt stayed at 200, ft dropped from 4 to 2

The supplement industry is so full of snake oils. Hows that saying go? oh yes, "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute"

DAA is a decent test booster. Will add 100-200 point jump. if you are low in the 200-300 range you my get to 400-500. It has shown to increase LH and FSh. Some try to swap out HCG and Clomid with it.

Even then if there was a boost in T from the so-called T-boosters it would be transient and minimal at best!

Waste of money and time.

19. What is the evidence for herbal or natural testosterone “boosters” in treating TD?

Current evidence-based reviews of the most common ingredients in testosterone boosters (T-boosters) on the market have found minimal to no evidence demonstrating their efficacy.40 Many of the ingredients within such compounds have never been tested for safety and/or efficacy in human trials. Among human trials, only 30% demonstrated an improvement in testosterone levels, 2% resulted in a decrease in testosterone, and 68% had either an indeterminant effect or no effect at all on testosterone levels.41 Concerningly, several case studies have demonstrated severe adverse events from T-boosters that contain banned/illicit substances, including steroids.42,43 Currently, T-boosters cannot be recommended by health practitioners and patients should be cautioned regarding the unknown efficacy and safety of T-boosters, along with the possibility for severe adverse events. Regulated, evidence-based treatments should be offered as an alternative in symptomatic hypogonadal men (moderate LE, strong recommendation).
