Test Booster - recommendation/thoughts

[Blahzay128]

Hey everyone. I'm a long time member who's been off the boards for a few years.

I'm now in my mid thirties, natural, and looking for a little guidance in regard to a natty test booster. I do understand that a test booster is not going to be some sort of miracle supplement (that's not my exoectation). My testosterone level was in the mid 500's and I'm just looking to support levels and encourage test production. Not looking to gain any type of size..instead any type of assistance with recovery, strength, decrease in BF, energy

So being away for awhile and coming back on the site and looking for a supplement is quite overwhelming.

I'm considering the following:

APE
JYM Alpha
True Grit

(Please correct me if I'm wrong in assuming that each of these are natural/not pro hormones & I will not need any type of post supplement support - I'm natural & do not want to go that route).

A few questions as well -
I know that some of these supplements have zinc/magnesium in them ....can I still take ZMA at night?

would it be helpful to add DAA to whichever supplement I go with or would that be unnecessary/overlap? I don't believe any of the listed supplements contain DAA.

Supplements to be taken with test booster: protein, multi, fish oil, ZMA

Thanks in advance !!!

the ones you have listed are natty t boosters so nothing to worry about. you can take the boosters along with zma as long as you don't exceed recommended daily doses

I haven't tried any of those t-boosters OP but I have tried Thrust by Magnum and was pleased with the results...

APE for sure, years of feedback and a formula like no other.

Check out our latest testosterone article that go over both the dietary aspect of testosterone as well as which supplements can be of benefit-

You have 2 options.

1. Go to a doctor get a blood test which will reveal if you have low test or not.
2.Throw your money in the garbage disposal hoping eye of a newt will increase your test.

Test boosters are more of a small boost. A doctor might be able to help you more if you have a serious problem.

Glad to hear you were pleased with Thrust

Thrust is pretty amazing!

He already said he had his levels tested and in the 500 range so he's just looking for support.

Here is a compilation thread to go through if you have some time on APE.

Right, but ranges very for age groups too. I believe that's a 'low normal' range.

If he was below normal, a booster (Forskolin) may help bring his levels to a low natural level...with his being already low normal, he would just have to talk to the doc to see if there will work with him to up them some.

[llahhsoj]

Those you listed are considered "natural." Products like this are mostly good for mood and libido boost. They won't make a big difference if you really have low testosterone.

I can really only vouch for APE, the stuff really works. I notice an overall physical difference after a couple weeks on it. I've never had mine tested but I sure notice the difference on it. As others have stated there is actual data on APE and it's one of the more trusted and proven ones on the market. I'd say give it a shot but run it as suggested, you really start feeling the full effect close to the end of the first bottle so don't start doubling up right away thinking it's not working. Good luck either way man

OP you wont notice anything unless you double that number. I went from 250 to now 900. Yes I can tell. A 10% boost wont do anything for you. The only thing that I know of that actually raises test in provided by docs.

Having used APE. I can recommend it honestly.

You guys need to also give APE Darknight a try and stack it with APE Original for an AM/PM test stack.

I might give this a run. I have a bottle of OG Ape on hand.



Would I need a 2 bottles of each or 1 bottle of each for a full run?

[ubernoob]

I ran APE with blood test and it worked. I prefer the powder form vs the pill as I ate the powder whole as it was damn tasty. May do another run soon but right now I am too cut and running well to even think of bulking at the moment. I have a 13.1 coming soon and after that may think of bulking again with APE.

1 of each would be a month, a full run optimally is 2-3 months.

Adding DAA to a test booster will be useless. Also you won't know what is doing what by taking 2 new products at the same time. I like APE. I notice gains the gym that are out of the normal and changes in the mirror. Takes about 3-4 weeks to kick in so run an 8 week supply.

APE is also the cheapest of the 3 choices.

What do you like about it?
Trying to find a new test booster that is better than thrust (expensive) and have yet to find one.

Check out Magnitropin sometime. Its new to the site, but it's pretty difficult to find negative reviews out there.

Definitely things i've experienced. Usually the strength comes on with the second bottle.

Yea around the 3 week mark I had a nice jump in strength, followed by a nice linear increase.
