    Blood tests results back....final conclusion, these supplements are worthless

    To end the ongoing questioning of whether or not these supplements work, me and a buddy got a blood test, took a supplement for 8 weeks at the recommended daily dosage, and in most cases, 1.5 to 2 times as much., then had a second blood test. Here are the findings.


    8 weeks for me:
    7 Keto DHEA
    Coleus Forskolin
    Guggul

    results ~ thyroid remained completely unchanged


    8 weeks for my friend:
    Tribulus
    ZMA

    results ~ free testosterone levels completely unchanged


    congratulations, I just saved some of you hundreds of dollars a year. You don't have to thank me.

    even if the ZMA didn't boost test it has its own benefits that still make it a good supp.

    Yes, Zinc and Magnesium have many benefits that make them worth taking. But that does not mean you have to take ZMA.

    You are right. I love it since my sleep cycles are always out of whack. and the extra magnesium helps with lower back pain in me so its worth it!

    I find this hard to believe. Because the best ZMA supps follow the patented SNAC blend of 30mg Zinc, 450mg Magnesium, and 10.5mg B6.
