Do testosterone booster supplements work? | Dr. Stuart Phillips

- Daily fluctuations in testosterone have not been shown to drive muscle protein synthesis. However, supraphysiological steroid doses are anabolic. Many testosterone boosting agents are on the market, but Dr. Phillips states they are ineffective, and it's better to focus on resistance exercise. In this clip, Dr. Stuart Phillips outlines steroid biochemistry and why he thinks testosterone boosters don't work.

I'm no scientist but after I started taking a Tongkat Ali supplement my annual T level test results jumped from 250 to 780, 850, 810 respectively. I'm 69 now and have always weight trained and also take creatine and protein
Can I ask if you take Tongkat daily and what brand do you use? I take Blue Ribbon whey Protein. What Creatine product do you use? Back in the day I took it. That was 30 years ago. GNC. I’m 62 now. Thanks.
Damn dude I was going to tout my results but you just put me to shame. I take tongkat Ali and fadogia Agrestis , coupled with Dr Saladino's head to tail diet. I'm at 750 total testosteron right now and I'm 50. What else is your secret? Your my hero.
@@RobertBreckner Eat clean and work out daily I guess, they say weight training promotes testosterone production, Limited alcohol consumption helps too I think. 750 is a respectable T-level👍🏻
Can I ask what product you buy? Thank you :)@@RobertBreckner
@@RobertBrecknerwith all due respect being At 750 isnt going to give these supraphysioligical results your looking for, to do that its simple. you must be in a supraphysiological level which only happens when u take a exogenous form of testsoterone and supress your natural.
I've just watched this video and I'm still none the wiser, a lot was said but I learned nothing.
Same here! Only thing I heard was get in the gym and keep working out
This one cuts off weird and then leaves a silent black screen for about 18 seconds.
Tongkat Ali and Turkesterone both work it's not just a "waste" of money. Telling people to just go lift when hormones are off is like talking to a brick wall
Tell me you don’t understand physiology without telling me you don’t understand physiology. Understanding cellular biology is much harder than you think
@@mitchberning1595 I'm talking about myself. I had a vasectomy at 27 and it completely killed my hormones along with alcohol.

This is what happens when people use many big words and they don’t know what they are talking about.
If your to stupid to understand just say that
Before trying to increase your testosterone levels, PLEASE get a P.S.A. test. Most prostate cancer cells rely on testosterone to grow.
I already had my prostate checked!
Spoiler alert - no they don't. Skip to 5:50 if you want to hear the answer to this question.
Out here doing God's work. Thank you for helping us cut through the horse shit.
The two "hot ones" of late are tongkat ali and fadogia agrestis. Andrew Huberman reads a bunch of the latest research on those. I'll leave that to you to peruse if you wish.
To the lift weights part, yes. Anecdotally, I lived in the area of Brad Gillingham, at the time, the world's strongest drug free powerlifter. He was probably in his early 40s (still competing) and said when he did deep heavy squats, his T would jump 300-400 pts and his grey hairs would go away over a period of 2-3 months.
I also notice big changes in outlook, motivation, sex drive when I lift heavy things, particularly the squat and leg press. Heavy meaning, I have to push hard and getting 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps is hard for me even when taking 3-4 min breaks between sets.
Lastly, another anecdote, a single data point, yes, I have tried tongkat ali and fadogia agrestis and don't notice much of an effect to be honest, but it might work better for you. Even if your T is higher, lifting weights is still needed. Get to the gym as much as you can. :)
I’m 56 now! I started lifting when I turned 50! But got serious about lifting when I got older! What testosterone dose anyone use?
Booo! Booooo this man! Booo! LoL
All in good fun. However, there are some testosterone boosters that will slightly help you. Nothing drastic but some zinc, magnesium calcium and vitamin D will help. Most importantly to lift weights regularly
You should be getting all of that from your nutrition
Dr. Phillips is a very renowned researcher in the Kinesiology Department at MacMaster University.
Is Dhea useful to raise testosterone? If so what is the recommended dosage?
Everybody is more confused than informed.
I watch it twice a bit contradicting. Men without prostate feminised... menopausal also lose muscle...
Same here, left STILL not understanding
I agree with possible increases in testosterone AFTER lifestyle modifications. In fact, Carter is right. I have witnessed it tongkat and with probiotics as well. You must get the highest quality
So yes or no? I hear a bunch of words but none of it makes sense
Question...I just started taking a supplement called “Prime Test” and it contains 85 mgs. of Calcium and 1484 mgs. of testosterone stuff, (I guess). Problem being is that it makes for a rather large pill, (and 9 out of 10 horses agree with me), so instead of “gagging”. I dissolve the pill in a small cup of water for about 5 minutes and take it that way. By doing so and stirring it up...I noticed a small-ish “core-like” version of the larger pill that won't dissolve. What exactly is that? Finally, how long do I take this stuff before I notice anything? I've heard for around 90 day's.
Was your "prime test" helpful ?
Did you see any result ?
I have seen men build substantial muscle with T levels in the low-normal range (300s) and people lose muscle who had T-levels around 1000. People with lower T may tend to have a higher percentage of free T, or may be more T-sensitive, or may have lower estradiol levels so it is very possible for someone with a 350 total T (provided there is not an underlying pathology) to have a strong anabolic effect from that level of T due to sensitivity, and someone with a 850 T may have low free T, lots of estradiol, or genetically or "environmentally" lower sensitivity. The high T may even be a response to lower free T or lower sensitivity. Supraphysiologic levels of T from anabolics can put people in the 3000-10,000 range! Now in those ranges, muscle growth is profound. Individuals dose to supraphysiologic levels can experience 2-3 times more muscle gain WITHOUT training than someone with normal T can produce with training, over a span of months.

Excellent presentation! Very edifying.
2 minutes before the dude stopped hemming and hawing. Maybe 3. ….getting to the point soon.
I don't know ,I barely took testosterone up,and woke up glad I'm 57 my fiancee is 30.my friend this morning woke up good and made me feel good about the future.Good Lord I quit alcohol and my friend was dieing on me but testosterone bosster letting me know that were are still game .I don't want Viagra or other type of hart attack ..also use folic acid to clean my blood flow,Im working on getting rid of high blood pressure.so thank God it's possible.😊
So this is just on muscle gains or does it include the other testosterone effects?
Exactly screw muscle gains I wanna sleep and get funky
2:20 you haven't been able to see that testosterone and HGH have impact on protein synthesis and muscle build (anabolic effect)? What else haven't you been able to prove recently? That the earth isn't flat?
So what does make men put on muscle mass then?
Didn’t you hear the man? Get to the gym and lift. (Or the garden IMO)
Gardening is enough! You heard the man!
@@MJ-on2xr 🤣 just like Arnold
Too much minutes will someone resume it pls
I’ve never had my testosterone checked! But I’m. Considering. Buying boosters! I heart they help with erectien! With energy!
perhaps if people truly believe that it works maybe it woks... believe is very powerful !

Mmhm mmhm right exactly 🤔
lol... 5:45 when he said TONGUE she gasped... I think we know why...
