Do Testosterone Boosters ACTUALLY Work?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- After 35, male testosterone drops by 1% every single year. So it’s no surprise that we see tons of supplements, like Ashwagandha and Tongkat Ali, claiming to boost testosterone.

Hi, what about DIM supplement? balance/decrease estrogen may help to have a normal testosterone level...
Boron helps free testosterone, the dose used in the study was way too low. I easily found two studies that show large increases in free test at over 10mg.
Thanks for posting. I couldn't find any robust studies showing what you said. Can you link the studies you are referring to? Are they placebo-controlled trials, with (hopefully) more than 20-40 people?
Please do a video for female hormones as well. It might not help with longevity, but would definitely help most women with aesthetics and reproductive health. Thanks for all your work!
What really staggers me is the dearth of robust studies.
Because the companies selling these products don't want to know whether they really work or not. So, they refuse to support or fund randomized studies of their products. Why? Because there's no money in honesty.
I wish you’d have added Shilajit and Peruvian Maca.
A 1% drop in testosterone doesn't do anything. The Placebo effect is probably greatly at play in men's "sensations of low testosterone" Bodybuilders taking steroids don't receive ANY result from 1%, 10%, or even 100s% increases in testosterone, rather 1000s% increases. I'm sure that "the average of men's testosterone dropping 1% after 35 might be their testosterone correlated to calmer, intelligent, secure knowledge and behaviours at that age" rather than "testosterone dropping 1% because old so illness and weakness".
But not 1% one time. For many it is 1 to 2% a year, EACH year. By the time they hit 60 things just are not working the same. Yes, a 100% increase in many is sufficient to see major changes.
it's 1% per year. So the decline compounds
Replacement Therapy 100mg/Week and everything is gonna be fine
No side effects?
Brad is in NZ, as am I, trt isn't really a thing here
Another option that was not discussed:
Enclomiphene is not a direct testosterone booster, but it can indirectly increase testosterone levels in men. It is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), meaning it works by blocking estrogen receptors in the brain. When estrogen receptors are blocked, the body increases the production of gonadotropins (LH and FSH), which stimulate the testes to produce more testosterone.
Enclomiphene is commonly used to treat men with low testosterone due to conditions like hypogonadism. Unlike testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which provides external testosterone, Enclomiphene helps the body produce its own testosterone by enhancing the hormonal signaling process, preserving natural testosterone production and fertility.
You beat me to it. It's not sold on Amazon, so that means it's already worth the money. My lab rat uses it at 5 mg/day during cycle, 25 mg/day during PCT.
Great video Dr. Brad. I appreciate the grounded and straight forward approach. Most interesting thing I heard in this video is the relationship between the winner effect and testosterone. I believe that when we are deeply connected to a purpose that excites us at a soul level (aka a true passion) and we engage with that purpose and experience personal wins in the process, it boosts our self-confidence and validates that we belong in the world and that we have great value to offer. I think testosterone (along with many other biological responses I'm sure) increases to bolster this postive mindset. Natures way of saying...yes! more of that please...here's some extra juice to support you in that direction. Perhaps an interesting theory is that as we age we tend to become more rigid and less nueroplastic. Not because that's how it must be, but because of our worldview and fear of aging. Therefore when believe we have run out of purpose and life requires us to change direction, it can zap our courage or feelt overwhelming. Many entreprenuers, especially men, may have a big win with a business they sell only to find a few months later they are miserable and depressed. I think it is interesting that this paralells with the post-ejaculatory energy drain. Your mind says...ahh we did it. Let's relax. I won. I'm done. We absolutely need purpose in our lives. Perhaps the low rates of testosterone in men today can be coorilated with a lack of purpose and the courage to step into challenges that are meaningful...especially after we think we have "achieved success" and think were done and should be happy forever now. Purpose has to be deeply rewarding and specific to you, not something borrowed from "what the other guys are doing to make money or get the girl, etc.". Of course, food, exercise, and aging play their role, but I suspect the lack of emotional intelligence in men to really listen to their inner world (something most women are better at) + the increased toxicity in the environment + the poorer quality of food + lifestyle choices like poor sleep all add up. Taking a supplement or even a medication can't possibly compensate for the violation of first principles of mental, emotional, spriitual, and physical well being. We have to think holistically IMHO.
Speaking of testosterone, I was wondering what you know about Tribulus Testerris? A lot of guys here at Gold's Gym in Venice use it and I wondered if you thought it has any value.
You may be aware of this. I ran across a vitamin comparison. on a UA-cam link on a site, called "My Longevity Experiment". It was pretty ridiculous. The person compared your MicroVitamin with 2 others. He based the "comparison" on the number of different vitamins offered and the dosage provided - the higher the number and the higher the dosage, the better. Needless to say, in his "expert" analysis your product came in 3rd. Apparently, you not having Vitamin E or A, in yours meant it was lacking. Personally, I quit taking both years ago, or decades ago, when the negatives of taking them became known.
The vitamin with the most, and with the greatest concentration, came in first. Can't believe this guy is an expert on anything, except spouting nonsense. To me, he came across as a babbling fool. I'm not personally taking your product currently I'm already stocked up. I have added additional suggestions, you've made. When your new version is introduced, I will likely go with that.
Short answer: no, waste of money. Anything sold on Amazon is marginal or suboptimal for test. or anabolic effects. Additionally, supplement sellers refuse to do randomized human trials on their supplements (you know some receive the real thing, others receive a placebo), because they're in it for the money, not for your benefit.
Which trial showed no difference when using ashwagandha? By my count we have 2 positives and 1 needs questioning regarding the placebo group getting such high results
Finasteride is not availabe in my country (not in small doses, only in 5mg tablets). Can i use fenugreek instead?
I lost almost all sensitivity down "there" after a couple of weeks of Ashwaganda, took months to get back to normal. I might been an outlier but it was pretty scary so look it up and be cautious if you wanna try it.
Boron needs to be taken in higher doses in order to increase testosterone like 10mg not 2mg like you see in that particular study you cited. Like you mentioned boron helps utilize and enhance vit D absorption which might be a reason why you see a test increase. We know vit D increases testosterone especially if low in the body.
Pine pollen is another extract that can raise testosterone levels
Hey doc what are the daily dosages of DHEA and Fenugreek ??
Of all this I felt most effect from Tongkat Ali
Chinese chive seed extract!
D-Aspartic Acid gave me massive headaches and feelings of depression. And on top of that there are no guidelines on specific dosage amounts to take. Tongak Ali gave me real bad headaches and caused my joints to pop and crack a lot it has a Estradiol lowering effect
DAA you can use 2 weeks on 1 week off....TA you can lower dose if u get these sides or use fadogia or other ones u feel safe using
Pine pollen tincture?
Any thoughts on Fadogia Agrestis?
Tadalafil may also cause hearing loss and vision impairment
Wha'dya say - huh?
💖🙏💖
I eat fenugreek and it makes your armpits smell like maple syrup
Anecdotal, and funny 😂
What about Tribulus?
Does nothing.
People profit from these materials that don't need FDA approval and have no scientifically proven effects on testosterone
Is l-arginine and l-arginine same?
El Arginine is Mexican.
Do you mean Arginine vs L-Arginine ?
Do you mean Arginine vs L-Arginine?
@@Fearzero😂😂😂😂😂
At 53, my testosterone is still high normal after 23 years of a well planned, whole plant diet. Daily exercise helps as well.
Lies
@@degeneratechris why? There are always outliers. There are always people on each end of the spectrum. There are always those who smoke and drink alcohol but still run marathons or live to 100 yrs old. I've seen many 90 yrs old in Africa and India who eat predominantly beans and rice. Genetics, activity levels, environmental factors,.....

When will the next version of MicroVitamin be available ?
Aiming for 6 months from now
There is too much attention on testosterone and things like high protein even having more than enough, this more psychological problem that is fuelled by toxic influencers peddling ideas of hypermasculinity that men with low security cling to? Too much testosterone can also reduce lifespan, cause heart disease or it's dihydrotestosterone?
It's DHT that's causing those problems, not testosterone.
