Testosterone Boosters: Review

I’d like to give you my opinion on the general category of supplements called “testosterone boosters.” As of now I can’t really recommend any of them. Here’s why:

*First and foremost, I’m not convinced any of them actually “boost” testosterone. Tribulus Terrestris, for example, hasn’t been shown to actually raise testosterone levels beyond one’s natural level.

 *As with prohormones, the wrong people are taking these supplements. I’m guessing there are a lot of guys in their 20’s who use “testosterone boosters.” This is absurd, since these guys are already at their natural peak in terms of T production—they already have all the testosterone they need to build muscle.

*Even if a testosterone booster created a slight increase in T production, I don’t see how it would be enough to make any real difference in strength and size. Let’s think about steroids for a minute: a beginner cycle would be around 500mg of testosterone a week (not to mention some other drugs). If I understand things correctly, a typical dose for testosterone replacement therapy would be 400mg a month. In other words, you have to get your T levels way beyond natural levels to see results. “Testosterone boosters” just cannot deliver this.

Conclusion:
I’m simply not impressed with these types of supplements. Talk to a doctor if you need testosterone replacement therapy.

I would recommend a high quality bodybuilding program like Muscle Gaining Secrets if you are a new trainee looking to put on muscle mass.  Check out Minimalist Training in you want a wider variety of routines (beginner through advanced).  Look to diet and training programs if you want to improve your results. 

As I've said, I don't think testosterone boosters have much potential for helping you get bigger or stronger.  But I think there are a few supplements out there with the potential for improving sexual function.
