Just started lifting 8 months ago, so alot of this is new to me, including supplements. But does anyone recommend a legit testosterone booster. I have heard so many positive affects and benefits from test boosters: fat loss, increase strength and muscle tone, sex drive etc. However, the one test booster I took did absolutely nothing for me. Now, I am 22, so I know my testosterone levels probably aren't low, or certainly as low as some older guys, so that may be the difference. I took APE, Alpha Performance Enhancer about 3 months ago. Literally nothing, no increase in energy, strength etc. Is there any "magic" test booster that will get the job done, or should I just save my money?

Effects of natural testosterone manipulation will not give staggering results in most regards. It may be more noticeable for someone who has naturally low levels, but if you don't suspect that this is the case for you, why would you take one in the first place?
Strength increase is dictated by what you do in the gym and kitchen, not from what you take in pill form.

If you have lower testosterone levels, a natural boost would be beneficial. As far as a magic test booster, they dont really exist. However, we do have some great feedback on our Testo Pro which is buy 2 get 1 Free this month and our DAA
I've used them and enjoyed them... always good to try to get your natural test levels up to the optimal level.

The legal stuff out there will not raise your testosterone high enough to make a difference. Most of the time it is just placebo, although some products will raise your free testosterone again it won't be enough to make a significant impact. If you are insistent on trying testosterone boosting supplements then i highly recommend getting some DAA and stacking that with something like Erase by pes or triazole by driven sports. At your age though doubt you need test boosters.

Your natural test levels may be high on their own which would explain (possibly) why you didn't benefit from APE.
I also never rule out the possibility of trying another product to see if it works though - if you're open to it I'd suggest looking into ErgoTest as the feedback has been pretty stellar across the boardPicking things up and putting them down since '09

You didnt need a test booster to begin with. This is not an attack against you, there are just alot of early 20's guys that take natural test boosters thinking it will have tech like results which it wont and plenty of progress should be made within the first year of lifting anyways
