Blue Up is a natural test booster. Blue Gene is a PH alternative for lean mass gains and overall health product.

glad you enjoyed blue up, stacks well with many products, as does Blue Gene

Pleasantly surprised on Novedex... felt animalistic... although ran it with mitotropin Id like to run it alone to get a better feel....

most test natural boosters rely on anti-estrogen ingredients and a couple alleged test boosters like zma and tribulus (i dont think zma and tribulus work).
I'd stick to natural anti-estrogens like DIM and chrysin (extracts from broccoli and whatnot).
Thus my recommendation is Olympian Labs DIM.
the best one is activate xtreme. without a doubt.

but as a standalone nothing compares to AX for that alpha feeling.

yeah i did a bit of research and i was seriously considering getting that, but then i figured that i get enough zinc and their compound is similar to DIM, so in terms of price... AX: $38/120 caps... DIM: $26/120 caps (serving size is comaprable).

I wish this thread hadn't been made. There are far too many reps that will continually post biased posts in this thread, just like the others.
This entire section has the best intentions at heart but each and every thread has fallen prey to the rep infestation. At least in the others it is somewhat consumer based with the reps usually only posting after someone has said something about their product with praise for being a customer, etc.
So far within the first page I am not even sure if a non company rep has posted a product yet...
"What is the difference between Blue Gene and Blue Up?"
"Stack them and you're looking at awesomeness!"
Seriously? I understand how frustrating it gets when someone asks a question about two products that, outside of having Blue in their name, share next to nothing in common, but why even reply?
Honestly "best" is an opinion, and while there will be very few (notice I didn't say any before you post saying you're the exception) company reps that will recommend a competitors product, it's likely guaranteed that more reps will post in this thread than consumers.
This rant has pretty much been made in all of the other "best" threads, so I deemed it necessary.

There are a lot of test boosters I can't take since they will cause a positive test result in any PL fed that does testing in accordance with WADA guidelines. That said, Tribustol by NES is amazing! I have only been on it a week, and the recovery time after workouts is unbelievable. I know a lot of people don't think any tribulus products work, but this one seems to be exactly as described for me so far. I know others that have had amazing results with this as well. It tests clean for any sport, and is produced in an FDA approved lab. I highly recommend this just from my short term experience with it.

even clinical research can be biased, a lot of the the research is done funded by the company producing the product. Many pharmaceutical and supplement companies are guilty of fraudulent "scientific studies." Many companies also have legitimate studies supporting their product(s) the problem is that just having 1-2 studies for a specific formula does not constitute as hard proof that that does what it claims. Good scientific data is backed up by the number of times it can be repeated whilst yielding similar results.

First of all, without research grants from supplement companies, universities would not be spending the tens of thousands needed to properly design and administer a study. The grant money has to come from somewhere. To think otherwise is just being naive.
And while some research can be bogus, the peer review process ensures that other scientists can review the design, methods, results and conclusions. This helps to ensure that no funny business is going on.
Keep in mind that a proper clinical to help the consumer should be on the finished product, not on certain key ingredients that may not even exist in the correct doses or extracts in the finished product.
And finally, repeating the study different times is a good way to ensure that the product does do what it says. Gaspari Nutrition's Novedex XT has been clinically tested, peer reviewed and not just one clinical done, but 3 separate Research trials.
I'm only aware of one other testosterone booster that even had one clinical done, and none that have had three. And some good bros on the boards telling you some other product is 'awesome' shouldn't count for a hill of beans without some proof to back it up in the form of clinical research.

I recommend publishing the clinical research in the supplement log section.
That way you don't have to deal with people who question the validity of a clinical trial and can go with the more proven, trustworthy "check the logs bro."

Novedex xt by far! I'm not currently using it as I don't truly believe it's a natural test booster. It's not a prohormone, and it does increase your own natty test productuction, but ATD and 6 oxo arent exactly "naturally occuring".

Novedex XT I think is really effective for my toning and strength, but it made me quite lethargic, easily pissed off and kind of felt a bit of foggy memory.

The only test booster that I have used in the past (prior to this year) that worked was Novadex XT. The best results I had using this was when I was healing from an injury. Novadex actually allowed me to keep my strength when I had to severely limit my lifts for over a couple of months. I then had to take six months off of lifting after surgery. When I was able to start lifting I took it again and made quick gains. In the span of six months post surgery my bench went from 185 to 365 while I lost 30 pounds. When I did this I took the max allowable dosage with no side effects (even acne). The most I have been able to get out of any other test booster was an enlarged prostate. :) Not a single other product I tried worked for me, and some even made me feel weaker.

T-Bomb II is doing nothing significant for you. You are experiencing the placebo effect (which the supplement industry for the most part relies on). You're believing the product is working therefor it's working (in your eyes). I guarantee if you got pre/post blood work you would notice little to no difference in free and total testosterone production.

Test boosters are a great way for companies to take advantage of placebo, as most people will not pay to have the blood work done.
This is where you can trust a company that has done clinical research on the product and it really does do what it says.

I see, however, I still see/feel effects from this product. I can also say one of it's main ingredients (tribulus) has been clinically researched and has been proven to raise natural testosterone levels/production. I can also say that a buddy of mine who is a personal trainer at LFF had bloodwork done before and after taking tribulus and longjack and saw a significant gain in his testosterone levels.
If you don't like T-Bomb II, what product do you recommend then as the "best" out there?

EDIT - I removed the links, lol.
"Tribulus terristris
A standardized whole herb preparation of Tribulus terrestris, developed at the Chemical Pharmaceutical Research Institute in Bulgaria shown in clinical trials to increase sex drive, and sexual performance, testosterone levels, sperm count and muscle strength (as demonstrated in tests by the Bulgarian Olympic weightlifting team). Tribulus has been used in India and China for centuries to prevent impotence and enhance physical and sexual performance. In Eastern European folk medicine Tribulus has been used to enhance both strength and sexual potency. In Turkey Tribulus has been as a common folk medicine against abdominal spasms and pain, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It has been used in Greece since the first Olympic games where it was part of the training regimen that produced the classic physique for which Greek men are renown"

LOL....did you even read the links you provided?
Studies performed in Bulgaria are the primary source of most current health claims regarding tribulus. According to this research, tribulus increases levels of various hormones in the steroid family, including testosterone, DHEA, and estrogen, and for this reason improves sports performance, fertility in men and women, sexual function (again in men and women), and symptoms of menopause (such as hot flashes).7-11 Unfortunately, the design of these studies appears to fall far short of modern scientific standards, and there has not been any trustworthy scientific confirmation of these supposed benefits. One well-designed study failed to find that tribulus affects male sex hormone levels in young men.17
Other studies that are far too preliminary to prove anything at all are quoted as proving that tribulus is helpful for the treatment of angina, high cholesterol, diabetes, and muscle spasms, and for the prevention of kidney stones.1,13-16
A properly designed, though small, human study compared the effects of tribulus (3.21 mg per kilogram of body weight?for example, 292 mg daily for a 200-lb man) against placebo on body composition and endurance among 15 men engaged in resistance training.3 At the end of the 8-week study, the only significant difference between the treatment and placebo groups was that the placebo group showed greater gains in endurance!
Another double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 22 athletes and followed them for five weeks.18 The dose used in this trial was fixed at 450 mg daily for all participants. No benefits were seen.
In one study placebo actually outperformed tribulus!!! In other words, it's worthless.

I could be wrong, but I'm not aware of any other non-hormonal method that has been clinically proven to raise test levels. People claim anecdotally that some herbals do, but everytime they are put to the test clinically, they fail to deliver.
Like anything else in life, it is a balance and moderation is needed.

There is some evidence to suggest Icarin does.
http://www.asiaandro.com/1008-682X/8/601.htm
"In the present study, we found that chronic treatment of chemically-induced hypoandrogenic male rats with icariin improved the condition of reproductive organs and increased the circulating level of testosterone. We also found that icariin suppressed the extent of apoptosis of penile cavernosal smooth muscle cells. It seems that icariin possesses testosterone-like activities. However, in the present study, there was no significant difference in serum levels of LH and FSH between ICA group and the others. It seems that icariin mainly affects the testis, but further study is required. "
Longjack also seems to have alot of promise though to many supps use to low a dose of it.

if your new to the lifting game id stick with the basics first and get some good NO and creatine (pill or powder doesn't matter) and take about 1.5 grams of protein per pound along with a good diet plan and you should reach your goal before your deployed. its tough to put on weight when your doing cardio too but given the how long you have before your deployed you should be able to do it. id recommend carb loading on your cardio days to combat the effects it could have on ur muscles.

So what are some real testosterone boosters, are there any that are not placebo?Jungle Warfare is a steroid and things like ATD/Novedex XT, 6-oxo and other aromatase inhibitators should increase your testosterone levels. So I guess those are. Personally I haven't used either.
Feel kinda weird to see images on guys who haven't had much of a great success judging from the photos who have still managed to go thru a long list.... Impressive! Must be totally worth it ..
If I didn't worked out at a gym which actually tested people I would be somewhat interested in trying something but I'm not sure it would be worth the health risks, and what good is a nice body anyway when you are dead?
I'd rather get decent results natural and have something to be proud off, rather that than having taking all **** there is and still look like crap. Lots of powerlifters prove that hard work for years with big weights and lots of food give progress. People could try that first.
"Uhh, I've trained for 2 years, am 18 year old and seem to have got stuck! I need some more testosterone!"

Getting enough protein is a basic. Whole foods are always best, but a powdered protein is better than no protein at all. And BCAAs have definite benefits on muscle protein synthesis. It has been proven. I wouldn't consider them bunk at all. There are some supplements out there that are pretty sketchy, but protein and amino acids aren't in that category.

You really don't need any test boosters until your mid 20s at the earliest. Your test levels are at the peak of your entire life right now. Focus instead on proper diet and basic supplementation. I realize it isn't as "sexy", but that's where the success lies - the basics and consistency.

T-911 by LG Sciences has given me huge results in the gym, the bedroom, and in my overall "swagger." I plan on making it a staple of my training routine, along with protein, BCAAs, fish oil, and ZMA.
I've also heard good things about Activate Xtreme in the gym and online but haven't tried it. When it's time for me to take a break from T-911 I will probably give it a shot.

I know we are all used to hearing the same few ingredients discussed with regards to natural testosterone enhancement, but there is one product I particularly respect and have enjoyed that is not usually brought into these discussions... it is not Divanil, Forskolin ext., nor Fenotest like as in our Phyto-Testosterone product... this works on improving the test to cortisol ratio which is crucial for intense training athletes... best of all, this has as much or more studies backing it compared to the others.
EndoAmp Max with potent Phosphatidylserine dosing of 800mg in a 1600mg Phospholipid Complex blend known as SerinAid.
Our company thread:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=116134363&highlight=EndoAmp
How does it support testosterone production?
The active ingredient phosphatidylserine (PS) prevents the exercise induced cortisol spike, and is a vital nutrient that supports testicular function and testosterone production. (11,37) Each serving of EndoAmp Max includes a clinically proven dose of 800mg of PS.
A recent study examined the effects of 10 days of 600mg/day PS supplementation on testosterone and cortisol during and after exercise. (37) The researchers found that PS supplementation increased testosterone 78% over the placebo group, while completely blunting the cortisol response to exercise. When analyzed for the testosterone to cortisol (T:C) ratio and compared to placebo, the PS group had a 3,354% higher T:C!
In another human study, hormone levels where examined during two weeks of intense weight training. The group receiving the 800mg of PS had higher testosterone levels and lower cortisol levels, compared to the group receiving the placebo. (11) Another study showed that 800mg of PS reduced cortisol levels 30% (compared to the placebo group) after intense cycling exercise. (21)
It?s been hypothesized that PS supplementation minimizes cortisol secretion by providing the necessary phospholipids required for cellular membrane structure and regulatory functions, thus reducing the requirement for bodily breakdown and nutrient displacement. (17,25,36,40)
Research also suggests that PS supports testosterone production by increasing the testes sensitivity to luteinizing hormone (LH) and increases testicular steroidogenesis - aka the creation of testosterone. (1-11, 19-26)
Take this quote from Cooke et al (1989) about the important role of PS in the testes:
"The requirement for specific phospholipid configurations for optimal steroidogenic activity suggests a regulatory role for these membrane components. It is possible that certain phospholipids [phosphatidylserine] may possess the most suitable configuration and charge distribution to optimize the binding of the steroid substrate to the active site of the enzyme. Alternatively, they may assist the catalysis by providing a more suitable microenvironment or electrochemical gradient for proton transfer between enzyme and steroid."?
In other words, EndoAmp Max creates a more conducive environment for testosterone synthesis in the testes by mitigating the damaging effects from cortisol and supplying the testes with the necessary phospholipids for testicular function.
I really think it is worth trying EndoAmp by itself or alongside another test booster such as BioForge, Phyto-Testosterone, Activate Xtreme or MassFx.
I haven't even gotten into the the numerous physical and mental benefits of A-GPC (Alpha-Glycerylphosphorylcholine) which is also included in EndoAmp Max. Both ingredients (PS and A-GPC) have been dosed according to the scientific literature, not included in a prop. blend with some fairy dust sprinkles.

In the public eye reps support all their products, however I would be surprised if every single supplement in a companys line the rep trully supports.
Even if I could choose any company I wanted to represent, I can't think of one who I would say "I would use every product of theres over any others."
I think an evolving trend is that each company has certain products that really "stand out" while others are probably more generic. For example Scivations Extend, tends to be a great product but If I represented them I would rather have another companys protein if I could.

I do try a lot of different products to see what is out there in the market and how it responds to me, but my favorite protein really is Myofusion, my favorite preworkout really is Superpump 250 and my favorite creatine really is SizeOn. Right now my favorite fat burner is Cytolean V2 (I like it better than Mitotropin).
I do use other products like Xtend and other general health supplements, but I don't just preach the Gaspari brand because I "have to" - I do it because I personally believe that our products are the best in their respective categories.

There is a difference between effective and "the best" and a good rep should know this. Really, no suppelement out there is "the best," I stand for the products I rep to be effective, but I am not ignorant enough to believe they are the best nor should any company.

i read the one study i could find late last night and interpreted it as saying it was run on 5 people, correct me if i'm wrong
a study done on 5 people has no 'statistical power' as the N value in any of the equations is far too small.
a study done on 5 people means that the standard error will be very large and error becomes a major part of the 'results'
according to central limit theorem 5 is not nearly enough to assume normal distribution, when N is too low to assume central theorem the study is useless and academic journals will not publish any findings for the various reasons ive listed.
too small of a sample size will often lead to false positives in a 1 tailed 2 test, ANOVA tests were not necessary and i'm not sure why they were run...its not like hundreds of these tests were done and analysis of variation between them occured.
random sampling ? where is it
random assignment? where is it
control for 3rd variables? where?
operationalizations?
the combo of all of these results in the study having next to zero internal validity and a study without internal validity is not externally valid meaning the results cannot be assumed to occur outside of that exact study.

Sometimes a simple change in exercise routine can trigger new growth. At 22, your testosterone level should be naturally high.

Ejaculoid - Goliath Labs
Tried em all, all worked, and all worked well and will/would do again. Ranking them in order of effectiveness.
Best for aggression and iron demolishing mentality would Novadex, for best results physically I would go with Mass FX. Still on cycle with AX so we'll see in another month. Test Drive is gonna jack your libido way up *in a good way of course*, as will ejaculoid.
Only thing that you might not like about the Nova is that it is gives you back cramps and dry joints. Its nothing you cant get through if you got balls worth a ****.

Dude what else do you use now? take your proteins, and vitamins, creatine is good too and eat a lot, if you dont grow anymore you just havent got it (genetically or whatever) i think...

Methyl-1-D. I've never had anything like it. My workouts ended because I had finished the exercises that I planned, rather than because I ran out of energy. Every set seemed to be as intense as the last one, and after an hour or so, I realized that I was finished. My weight didn't change much, but my body composition did. I was losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time, which is awesome! Of note: you better have a girlfriend, since your libido will be insane!

Not even close. Some test boosters are safer than others and some are downright harmless.
The opposite can apply to PH and DS - some are safer than others and some are downright dangerous.

Testosterone boosters generally work by stimulating different pathways in your body to increase testosterone production or increase the amount of testosterone available for use by your body (free testosterone).
Prohormones are different in that they introduce chemicals into your body that convert to active steroids and then directly stimulate androgen receptors, replacing testosterone to a degree. Actually the net result is typically that your body's own production of hormones decreases, not increases.

it's like steroids, but prohormones converts inside muscles, not in all body

T-911 is the best natural test booster I have used hands down. For some reason I feel MUCH more aggressive on it than any others that I have tried, (Stoked, tribex, novedex xt, blue up, t-bol, vitrix). I tested the product when it had Androsterone in it about a year ago and really fell in love with it. Now I have just opened my bottle of the new formula (it has a new AI in it) and I felt even more aggression today in the gym than what I remembered.

Well an example would be Powerfull plus tesopro, powerfull will block prolactin and cause a rise in total testosterone, while testofen in testopro along divnail wll free up the bound testosterone and reducing SHBG.

hey Im tried many supps but never a test-booster or test supp. I cut out my creatine and NO because need to cut weight for fighting and cant have the extra water in it...so I have been thinking about using one of these my question is:
I know with steriods that is straight hormones, when you take your body stops naturally producing test, so after the cycle you need to take something else to get your natural test going again.. Is this true with these test boosters? or do they just block progestrine etc and help utalize the free radicules. I would think so because you are not actually adding testostrone , but make the test in your body more effiecent. hope that made sense thanks

With 2 products there is nothing stronger then Activate Xtreme with Novedex XT. There are dozens of users blood work that has been posted over the years for that combo (more then any other single product) and its without a doubt the best. Nothing will increase total test, free test, dht and lower estrogen better then that. There is no other combo of products available that has had blood work posted for it to be better then those 2 products.

BSN is the only label i put any merit in at all so when I saw their Test product i coughed up the clams for a bottle. I am only a week into the 60 day cycle but I can already tell its doing it's job. I'm not sure if this is typical for everyone but it is for me, that when I'm on a good Test product I feel like a different person. More aggressive, more confident, sexually super powered and unfortunately less patient but over all very good and i can feel that now. I am getting mild body acne which is welcome as it is typical with increased testosterone levels. Most notable is the fact that the first week of this product reminds me of the 3rd week of Animal TEST which is far more expensive per serving. Animal TEST is a good product IF you get a great deal on a can. Testatropinol is o.k. but tedious to use (3 pills disolve under tongue, don't eat for 30 minutes etc. etc.). Animal STAK was surprisingly more potent than Animal TEST but my moneys on Axis-HT for both effect and value.

Steroids are synthetic hormones that typically cause your body to slow down or even stop making it's own hormones.
Testosterone boosters can fall into a number of different categories - most are herbal based but their mode of operation can range from stimulating hormone production in the body, reducing the conversion of testosterone to other hormones, binding to cell bodies that "bind" testosterone (making it less useful to the body when 'bound') and other methods.
Generally, testosterone boosters do not carry the risk of hormonal shutdown like steroids do, although it still is important to ask questions and understand how a certain product works, the safe duration of it's use and any preventative steps that should be taken while on the product or following it's use.

I do suggest everyone understanding that getting Test levels high is only one part of the puzzle.
You need high test, then you need free/active test, and then you need to reduce conversion to estrogen ( which also increases Test levels a bit), conversion to DHT, and then inhibit the breakdown of Test via CYP enzymes in the liver, etc....
Then of course supporting side systems like S.T.A.R. via cAMP, and all that....
I'm writing an article to some it all up. I love reading, and writing about this stuff.
When you don't do the majority of the things I listed ( like only 1 or 2 of them) you can get sides, ineffective cycles, and or even the infamous puffy nips ( no its not gyno!!) ....who wants them?? lol
Also, P6 is 100% guaranteed in bringing you high quality results.

I know a lot of people don't think any tribulus products work, but this one seems to be exactly as described for me so far. I know others that have had amazing results with this as well. It tests clean for any sport, and is produced in an fda approved lab. I highly recommend this just from my short term experience with it.

Yes you can use it alone and the results are very good just not as much when combined with an Ai (aromatase inhibitor, like Novedex XT). ACTX is one of if not the most recommended test boosters on BB.com over the last 5 years. If it didnt work well on its own it wouldnt have that type of a following.
Here is a log of a guy using it alone right now. He is setting new personal bests at almost every workout.

Yes you can use it alone and the results are very good just not as much when combined with an Ai (aromatase inhibitor, like Novedex XT).
could you explain to me why it is better when used with an AI

I'm on week 2 of TestoPRO and love it. Strength is already way up there. I have been on a cut for the last month and have noticed a decrease in body fat while retaining mass.

mods, can we have a thread like this where reps aren't allowed to post?
I read through the whole thread with the intention of learning something new and have actually gained more confusion.
this!!!!!!!

They work synergistically together by raising total test and lower estrogen (from the AI) and by increasing the use of free test (ACTX) from the larger boost in total test. Plus you have Icariin which mimics testosterone and is a great sex aid (similar although much weaker then Viagra). The benefits taken together are definitely better then either one taken alone.

Thanks for the response.
What is the recommended dosage of each of these if taken for 8 weeks, Novedex XT being the AI used along with ACTX

Under 190lbs I would use 4 ACTX per day and 1 NXT per day. Over 190 I would use 6 caps of ACTX (3 caps 2X a day) and 2 NXT (1 in the am, 1 in the pm) per day.

I heard all over the counter test boosters are worthless. Why has bb stopped selling Novedex XT if its so good?

I have no idea. It may be a new policy as they dont sell any steroidal AIs (4OHA, 6OXO, 6bromo or ATD).

Sorry if this has been addressed before but I am considering this Activate Xtreme/Novedex combo. Do people see the common side effects as other testosterone products, ie. acne, mood swings, atrophy of testes?

Not atrophy of testicles. Its common to have acne in the first week or so until your body gets adjusted to the new, higher, test levels. Its common to feel aggressive in the gym and sleep better as well.Usually by week 2 you have adjusted and everything evens out.

what are peoples thoughts on stacking LG's T-911 with there Formadrol Extreme XL?!?!!? it doesnt state how much *2-Phenyl-Di-Benzyl-Benzopyran-4-One* is in the T-911 compared to the FEXL, but it looks like a bigger dose than in the FEXL
should i look to stack FEXL with something else, b/c i feel like if theses two were suppose to be stacked LG would have marketed them that way
why has bb.com stoppped selling NXT?
is it not safe?

Bodybuilding.com has voluntarily chosen to stop carrying Novedex XT. While they have not stated formally why, it is speculated that this is due to increased scrutiny from the FDA after they were raided in the Fall of 2009.
Novedex is safe and legal. It had 3 university studies done on it and showed it to be fully safe for use by healthy male adults. It does not stop your body's hormone production. It is found in natural compounds and meets the FDA requirements for a health related supplement.
Many online retailers still sell Novedex XT - a simple google search will help you.

Both NXT and ACTX are safe and are natural. No they wont stop your testosterone from being produced. It will naturally boost it and then when you stop it will return back to baseline levels.

Hey, so am I the only A-hole who when trying to use the search and hitting "1 year or sooner" the search results bring me to 2001?
I just want to know if these test booster will aid me in my 4 week Mdrol cycle? Should I take it in the last week along with my PCT and continue on? Or take it the entire time? Or just wait til the end? I know a lot about Mdrol. Trust me. I know a lot about PCT. I just dont know a lot about these test boosters.

I hope your PCT consists of more than just an aromatase inhibitor. These test boosters are good products and effective, but when dealing with potential negative effects from an oral steroid cycle you need to address all the restoration aspects, not just boosting test.

I know but remember when I said I have my PCT all figured out? I know what I'm doing in that regards but I wont get into detail as to what I'm taking. I was just wondering if these test boosters would help post cycle. Can anybody give me an answer?

We have had blood work done from users in PCT with ACTX and/or with an AI/SERM and the results have been very good.

I am new to the test stuff and have read a some of the forum thread. I got my blood work done and will get results on monday.... 2 days time. So if I do have low test... which I think I do... I just take an test booster like activate xtreme and novadex? What is this PCT you are talking about.... sorry I am so new to this... I am sure my doctor will explain some of this?? But I want to go into his office a bit informed. If I were to take a test booster and an aromotose inhibitar I would be good? Or do I need something else as well?

You wouldnt need to take a PCT if you used something like Activate Xtreme and Novedex Xt. You would need PCT if you were taking prohormones which you wouldnt want to use because it wont help with your low testosterone issue.

I got the tests back and I have low test.. he put me on delatestryl 200 mg... do I need a AI for this. I talked to him about getting a AI and he did not seem that concerned... but that does not mean I should not be.... its my body. I don't want gyno from high estrogen.

Did he give you your estrogen levels? I would probably use an AI but Im sensitive to estrogen. I would go with a low dose though, no reason to go crazy.

I asked him if he checked them and he said no.... like I said he did not seemed concerned.... but maybe he is not that informed... not sure. I will have him check my estrogen levels in my next test.

What does everyone think about Bioforge? I've heard it's out of stock so when will more be available & should I wait for it or opt for something else in the meantime?. If I should go with something else, what does everyone suggest?. I'm looking to bulk & add 15 lbs of muscle (Dream Goal) and the only other Test Booster I've been told is good is Animal Stak. What do you all suggest?

Hey guys im 17 and i haven't used a test booster yet. Im planning on it and iv'e been researching all the individual compounds and sorting through all the reviews by people.
I am still confused.so much crap
im planning on getting something with the following:
-divanil,tribulus,lonjack,testofen,yohimbe,forslean
also does reveratrol inhibit igf-1 in anyway, or increase it? (like t-resv in t-bol)
is controlled labs blue up worth the $?
i am also worried that actvate xtreme is full of fillers..
i want to support testosterone production and keep it at its best
