Thread: Looking for first testosterone booster

This is one I would recommend
LG Sciences Formadrol Extreme 60 caps

Also consider this
Myogenix Hardcore Test, 90 Capsules

Who makes Alpha Male?

AM was/is a biotest product consisting mainly of tribulus terrestris

Thanks for the recommendation. I see that those two products do not have the tribulus terrestris. What is the difference between a product containing tribulus terrestris and one that does not contain that?

This is obviously not what he was asking about but here is a Biotest Test booster
Tribex Gold Testosterone Boosters 50TABS
And it has Trib.

I think it was. At one time, several companies promoted test boosters that contained tribulus terrestris. Didn't work very well.

I'd look into something that boosts test or free's up bound test like STOKED and/or ActivaTe Xtreme. Research has shown that tribulus is not a T booster as once thought, it's still good for libido just not boosting testosterone.

The effect of five weeks of Tribulus terrestris supplementation on muscle strength and body composition during preseason training in elite rugby league players.

Tribulus terrestris is an herbal nutritional supplement that is promoted to produce large gains in strength and lean muscle mass in 5-28 days (15, 18). Although some manufacturers claim T. terrestris will not lead to a positive drug test, others have suggested that T. terrestris may increase the urinary testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio, which may place athletes at risk of a positive drug test. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of T. terrestris on strength, fat free mass, and the urinary T/E ratio during 5 weeks of preseason training in elite rugby league players. Twenty-two Australian elite male rugby league players (mean +/- SD; age = 19.8 +/- 2.9 years; weight = 88.0 +/- 9.5 kg) were match-paired and randomly assigned in a double-blind manner to either a T. terrestris (n = 11) or placebo (n = 11) group. All subjects performed structured heavy resistance training as part of the club's preseason preparations. A T. terrestris extract (450 mg.d(-1)) or placebo capsules were consumed once daily for 5 weeks. Muscular strength, body composition, and the urinary T/E ratio were monitored prior to and after supplementation. After 5 weeks of training, strength and fat free mass increased significantly without any between-group differences. No between-group differences were noted in the urinary T/E ratio. It was concluded that T. terrestris did not produce the large gains in strength or lean muscle mass that many manufacturers claim can be experienced within 5-28 days. Furthermore, T. terrestris did not alter the urinary T/E ratio and would not place an athlete at risk of testing positive based on the World Anti-Doping Agency's urinary T/E ratio limit of 4:1.


Short term impact of Tribulus terrestris intake on doping control analysis of endogenous steroids.

Tribulus terrestris is a nutritional supplement highly debated regarding its physiological and actual effects on the organism. The main claimed effect is an increase of testosterone anabolic and androgenic action through the activation of endogenous testosterone production. Even if this biological pathway is not entirely proven, T. terrestris is regularly used by athletes. Recently, the analysis of two female urine samples by GC/C/IRMS (gas chromatography/combustion/isotope-ratio-mass-spectrometry) conclusively revealed the administration of exogenous testosterone or its precursors, even if the testosterone glucuronide/epitestosterone glucuronide (T/E) ratio and steroid marker concentrations were below the cut-off values defined by World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). To argue against this adverse analytical finding, the athletes recognized having used T. terrestris in their diet. In order to test this hypothesis, two female volunteers ingested 500mg of T. terrestris, three times a day and for two consecutive days. All spot urines were collected during 48h after the first intake. The (13)C/(12)C ratio of ketosteroids was determined by GC/C/IRMS, the T/E ratio and DHEA concentrations were measured by GC/MS and LH concentrations by radioimmunoassay. None of these parameters revealed a significant variation or increased above the WADA cut-off limits. Hence, the short-term treatment with T. terrestris showed no impact on the endogenous testosterone metabolism of the two subjects.

Thank you VERY much for that informative post Amino. I have been reading on the ActivaTE Xtreme and think I am going to give it a try. The one thing I worry about with it is the possible release of extra estrogen that it may cause, but from reading about the product it seems like that might not be such a bad thing!

Never heard of stacking these two, but I could only imagine. Results on Act. Xtreme have been nothing but positive from what I have heard.

Yeah it's a great stack, I'm currently 5 weeks in stacking ActivaTe Xtreme and STOKED and I'm loving it so far. Check out my log if your interested man:

I just started out on a supp called Anabolic Pump. I am really enjoying it so far do you think it is ok to start this stack and be using the Anabolic Pump?

Also, just so you know, you did talk me in to the supps, I just ordered both of them!

Yes, that would be fine. AP is an awesome supp, I used P-Slin (the pre-workout AP version) and got some crazy pumps. You'll like the stack man, good luck with it. Shoot me a PM if you got any questions.
