Update 7/21/22. Ageless Male is a testosterone enhancer for men over 40 that you may have seen advertised on Fox and Friends and elsewhere. Its bottles claim it to be a “worldwide best seller.” Since I first reviewed Ageless Male, its ingredients have changed quite a bit, so this updated review will first list the new ingredients and their research and after that, I'll show you the ingredients in the original formula. Does Ageless Male really work? Does It raise testosterone levels or improve libido? Does it have any side effects? Let's look at the ingredients in this testosterone booster and see what we can discover.
What Is Ageless Male?
Ageless Male is a supplement primarily marketed to men over 40 who have low testosterone levels – or who think they do. According to the supplement's website, Ageless Male is alleged to have these benefits:
- Boost Healthy Testosterone Levels.
- Increase libido, drive and performance.
- Helps Promote Energy Metabolism.
- Promotes Muscle as Part of Strength Training.
All of these claims contain an asterisk that refers readers to the statement that “these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.”
Ageless Male Ingredients
A bottle of Ageless Male has 60 tablets. Each 1 tablet of Ageless Male has the following ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount Per Serving | Percent Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin B 6 (pyridoxine HCL) | 4.9 mg | 245% DV |
| Magnesium (magnesium oxide) | 16 mg | 4% DV |
| Zinc (zinc acid chelate) 15 mg | 15 mg | 100% DV |
| Fenugreek seed extract (as Testofen) | 300 mg | N/A |
N/A = no daily value established
Other Ingredients in Ageless Male that are listed are:
- calcium carbonate
- microcrystalline cellulose
- stearic acid
- croscarmellose sodium
- magnesium stearate
- coating (hypromellose & polyethylene glycol)
- silica
I don't believe these other ingredients play any role in the effects of Ageless Male.
Ageless Male Vitamins And Minerals
While I normally don't review the vitamins and minerals in supplements (because I don't think they do anything), there is some evidence on the nutrients in Ageless Male so here is a quick review of them to help you better understand why they are present.
Zinc
Ageless Male contains the mineral zinc. Zinc is also found in other testosterone enhancer supplements too. The reason for this is probably because of a study from 1996 that looked noted zinc supplementation raised testosterone in both younger and older men who were lacking this mineral.
In this study, the older men were naturally lacking zinc but it had to be induced in younger men. In other words, the younger men were not deficient in zinc.
While older adults might be deficient in zinc, becuase they might not eat so well, Im not convienced younger men need more of this mineral.
Foods naturally rich in zinc include seafood, pumpkin seeds, chicken and beef nuts, and beans to name a few.

Vitamin B6
In rats, a lack of vitamin B6 might reduce testosterone production. But what about people? Does B6 raise testosterone in humans? If that evidence exists, it could not be located for this review. Foods high in vitamin B6 include meats, chicken, fish, chickpeas, and potatoes.

Magnesium
One study involving 30 men (18-22), noted that magnesium (10 mg per kilogram of body weight), raised both free testosterone and total testosterone. For a man weighing 180 pounds (81 kilograms) this comes to 820 mg. Both exercise alone (carried out to exhaustion) and exercise + magnesium increased testosterone levels.
The highest levels were seen in those who exercised to exhaustion and took magnesium supplements. No significant changes were seen in those who took magnesium but did not exercise.
Two tablets of Ageless Male (recommended amount to take) contain 30 mg of magnesium. This study used much more than this. The men in this study used 10 mg per kilogram of body weight. So, a 180 pound man (82 kg) would have recieved 818 mg of magnesium per day.
Regimen is another popular low T supplement. See that review for more information.
What Is Testofen?
Testofen is the name given to a trademarked form of the herb fenugreek. The scientific names for fenugreek are Trigonella foenugraecum and Trigonella foenum-graecum. Keep these terms in mind as the Testofen research is reviewed below. Two other names for fenugreek are Greek hay and Greek hayseed.
Testofen is a registered trademark of the company Gencor Pacific (GencorPacific.com). In other words, Gencor Pacific created the name “Testofen” as a way to subtly drive home the message to men that this extract of fenugreek raises testosterone.
But does it?
Let's look at some the research on fenugreek and testosterone and try to find out
Searching the National Library of Medicine for:
- Testofen testosterone
- Fenugreek testosterone
- Trigonella foenugraecum testosterone
- Trigonella foenum-graecum testosterone
I located the following clinical studies.
Testofen Study 1
In a study published in 2011 in the Journal Phytotherapy Research, fenugreek was randomly given to 60 healthy males between the ages of 25 and 52 for 6 weeks. Men either received fenugreek (600 mg of Testofen) or a placebo and they rated how they felt on a sexual functioning questionnaire (called the DISF-SR) over the course of the 6-week study.
The men getting the fenugreek reported greater feelings of sexual arousal, orgasm, libido, well-being, energy, and muscular strength. There was no change in mood reported.
It is odd that the men in the study reported no change in mood, yet they reported better “well being.” To me, that does not compute. How did their well being improve, but not their mood?
Keep in mind that this study did not directly measure strength or energy levels. Rather, the men just reported that they felt stronger and had more energy. This is a drawback of the study.
While these points are interesting, the study also says that testosterone levels did not change.
In the study they say “Serum prolactin and testosterone levels remained within the reference range.” That's fancy talk for ” Testofen did not raise testosterone levels.” Even scientists tap dance around the facts sometimes—and this is an example of it.
Testofen Study 2
Fenugreek is an example of a natural 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor. The enzyme 5 alpha-reductase turns testosterone into DHT (di-hydro-testosterone). Thus, anything that could inhibit the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme might prevent DHT formation and — raise testosterone levels.
The next study looked at how well fenugreek can block 5 alpha reductase enzyme.
This study was published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism in 2010. It involved 30 college-age males who were randomly given 500 mg of fenugreek extract —or placebo—for 8 weeks.
The extract of fenugreek used in this study was called grecunin. The word grecunin looks a lot like graecum, which is part of the scientific name for fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum). Fenugreek supplements usually don't list how much grecunin they contain.
In this study, the men lifted weights for 4 days per week for 8 weeks. They took the fenugreek (or placebo) in the morning and just prior to working out. At end of the study, men who received fenugreek extract saw these benefits:
- 6.57% increase in testosterone —a significant change
- 12.26 increase in the bio-availability of testosterone —a significant change
- 1.77% decrease in body fat —a significant change
- 26.62% increase in estrogen (estradiol) — a non -significant change
- 6.10 % increase in DHT —a non-significant change
- No significant change in muscle strength in the upper or lower body
- No significant change in protein synthesis or muscle hypertrophy
It was also noted fenugreek did not completely block the action of 5 alpha-reductase. It partially blocked the action of the
enzyme—which is interesting— but did not block it completely. This study was funded by Indus Biotech, a pharmaceutical company based in India. Indus Biotech also provided the fenugreek extract. The study lists no conflicts of interest among the researchers (that's good).
This study is interesting. If you decide to try fenugreek, remember the people used in this investigation were college-age males. This doesn't necessarily mean the same results would occur in men who are in their 50s, etc.
Testofen Study 3
Researchers in 2016 published a study on Testofen that lasted 12 weeks and involved giving either a placebo or 600 mg of the fenugreek extract to 111 healthy men (43-70 years of age). Testosterone was measured before and after the study and men completed a questionnaire (called, the Aging Male Symptom Questionnaire) designed to gauge their sexual function and other feelings of low hormone levels.
Compared to those taking a placebo, men taking Testofen reported more morning erections and improvements in their andropause questionnaires. Researchers also reported a “small but significant difference” in testosterone in those taking Testofen compared to those taking a placebo.
Testofen Study 4
Researchers in India noted that a fenugreek extract supplement called Furosap raised testosterone levels between 45% and 90% and improved sperm motility. This study involved 50 men (35-65 years of age) who were given 500 mg of the Furosap supplement for 12 weeks.
Furosap is a product of a company called Cepham (Cepham.com) which is located in New Jersey. I found it odd that they went to India to do their study. A problem with the study was that there was no placebo group.
This supplement contains Furosap for those interested.
Testofen Research Summary
Research can be complicated so here is a quick rundown of the research on Testofen/fenugreek and testosterone
| Study | Amount Used | Results |
|---|---|---|
| 2011 Study | 600 mg Testofen | no change in testosterone. |
| 2010 Study | 500 mg fenugreek extract | 6.5% increase in testosterone. |
| 2016 Study | 600mg Testofen | men report better morning erections |
| 2017 Study | 500 mg fenugreek | 45-90% improved testosterone. |
This is a summary. See the above sections for all the results.
My Fenugreek Experiment
While writing this review I became interested in the research I was seeing. So, just as an experiment, I purchased the Vitamin Shoppe brand of fenugreek (not the same thing as Ageless Male) and took 610 mg per day for 6 weeks to see what happens.
While I did notice a little change in erections (usually in the evening), I thought it was minimal and I would not call the effect “significant”. I did not measure my testosterone levels during this “experiment.”
Might the ingredients in Ageless Male work together better than just fenugreek alone? It's possible. I did not test drive Ageless Male so I can't say for sure.
Ageless Male Ingredients (Old Formula)
This review of Ageless Male would not be complete if I didn't mention the version of the product we see today is not the same as it originally was when I first reviewed it. Back then, the original Ageless Male formula contained only 2 ingredients, which together form a proprietary blend that was called “Re-Settin.”
The ingredients in the Re-Settin blend were:
- Saw Palmetto berry extract
- Astaxanthin (a type of carotenoid)
Re-Settin is a catchy word. I guess these ingredients were supposed to “reset” a man’s testosterone levels? Regardless, Re-Settin is a marketing word that holds no scientific meaning.
Originally, 2 capsules of Ageless Male had 10 calories and 800 mg of the Re-Settin blend of ingredients.
The version of the product today has no similarity to what was in the product previously. I have no way of knowing if how the new version of Ageless Male compares to the original formula.
Regardless, here is a review of the research I could turn up on the ingredients in the original formula.
Ageless Male Research (Original Formula)
The original formula of Ageless Male -the product itself – appeared to have no published, clinical proof that it raised testosterone in humans. No clinical studies on this supplement can be located.
There does appear to be one study on saw palmetto and astaxanthin and testosterone levels. The study was published in 2008 in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
The study did not use Ageless Male. Rather researchers were testing another supplement called Mytosterone (also called AlphaStat) made by a company called Triarco (triarco.com) which is located in Wayne NJ. Triarco funded this study but the investigation notes that none of the authors had any financial connection to the outcomes of the research (that's good).
In this 2 week long investigation, 42 healthy men between the ages of 37 and 70 were divided into 2 groups.
- Group 1 (21 men) was given 800 mg of the Mytosterone supplement
- Group 2 (21 men) was given 2000 milligrams of the Mytosterone supplement
At the end of the study, researchers noted that men who got both 800 mg and 2000 mg showed:
- Significant elevations in testosterone
- Significant reductions in DHT
However, significant reductions in estrogen were only seen in men who received the 2000 mg dose.
No significant side effects were noted but again this study lasted only 2 weeks.
If this was a study that the original Ageless Male was based on, keep in mind that it did not look at sex drive, bone growth, strength or muscle development. Myosterone may be found in other supplements also but do check the levels in supplements to make sure you are getting at least 800 mg.
This study did raise some red flags with me. For one thing, the researchers say that the men were divided into two groups. They do not say that the men were randomly divided into groups. I'm mentioning this because if you look at both groups, they have “significantly different” testosterone levels at the start of the study.
- Group 1 (whose average age was 55) testosterone level =21.64 nmol/L
- Group 2 (whose average age was 61) testosterone level =26.26 nmol/L
I’d expect that if the men were randomly assigned to each group, there would not be a significant difference in testosterone levels between groups.
Also, there was no control group either. Given the differences in testosterone between groups at the start of the study, a control group (who got nothing) would make me feel a little better about how good this study was.

Who Makes Ageless Male?
Ageless Male is marketed by a company called New Vitality (NewVitality.com) which incidentally also goes by the name NAC Vitamin Company (also called NAC Marketing company) according to the Better Business Bureau. The BBB gave NAC Vitamin Company a rating of “B+” when this review was written. Check the BBB file for updates and more information
The New Vitality/NAC Vitamin company is located at 95 Executive Drive, Suite 14 Brentwood NY 11717. This address corresponds to the Hartland Business Center.
Another address for New Vitality is 260 Smith St., Farmingdale, NY 11735. Googling this address clearly shows a building with a sign saying “New Vitality, NAC Marketing.”
It's worth mentioning that Ageless Male is one of many products New Vitality offers.
See the Super Beta Prostate review for another supplement they make.
How To Contact Ageless Male?
New Vitality, the company that markets Ageless Male can be reached at 800-675-5956.
Another phone number is 631-777-7767.
How Much Does Ageless Male Cost?
1 bottle of Ageless Male costs $49.95 and $39.95 if becoming a “super saver” (this may be where they auto ship people a bottle on a regular basis). Purchasing 3 bottles cost $89.90. There are also deals for buying more and being in the Super Saver program
Buy Ageless Male
Ageless Male can be purchased as many familiar stores like Vitamin Shoppe and GNC and Walmart. It can also be obtained directly from the NewVitality.com website too.
Ageless Male vs. MDrive
Mdrive is another popular testosterone-raising supplement. Mdrive also contains Testofen too as well as other ingredients not found in Ageless Male. At the time this review was created, there were no studies that compared Ageless Male to Mdrive to see which was better.
The Mdrive Review has other information on that product.
Ageless Male vs. Nugenix
Those investigating natural ways to increase testosterone levels have probably heard of Nugenix. Like Ageless Male, it's advertised on TV. No studies have compared their effects to each other. They contain different ingredients too.
See the Nugenix review for more information.
Ageless Male Side Effects
I believe Ageless Male is safe. I'm not aware of any bad side effects from the product. It's important to remember that a testosterone supplement like Ageless Male is likely not going to have the same side effects as taking testosterone itself.
Here are a few things to keep in mind if using this or other testosterone booster supplements. This list is not complete:
- With all-new supplements start with less than is recommended for the first week to see how you react.
- Fenugreek might lower blood sugar levels. This may be a problem for those with diabetes.
- Stop taking Ageless Male and other supplements at least 2 weeks before having surgery.
- Kids and teenagers should not use fenugreek or Ageless Male. The product is not designed for them.
- Ageless Male is not appropriate for women, especially those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Those who have any health issues or take any medications are encouraged to speak to their doctor first.
Ageless Male And Hair Loss
Since Ageless Male is touted to raise testosterone levels, some might wonder if that might lead to hair loss as more testosterone is converted to DHT (which is linked to hair loss). I'm not aware of any evidence of this. Fenugreek appears to block the enzyme that raises DHT levels.
Does Ageless Male Work?
If Ageless Male really works its effects might be best noticed in men with low testosterone levels. As for libido, this is a complicated issue. I think the results would vary.
The only way to know if it's boosting testosterone is to get your testosterone levels measured first. Then, try Ageless Male for a month. Then measure testosterone again. That is the best way to know if Ageless Male is really working.
Here it is on Amazon
What do you think?
Thanks for the tip. Done! Will be days before results known, I guess.
Is probably too soon to tell, but I took the first 2 capsule dose of Fenugreek with dinner yesterday. Last night (trying to be delicate here…), seemed as though things had really come to life each time I woke! Woke rather zesty this morning too! Interesting! (could be all in my head-placebo effect)
Other than that, I’m hoping for better energy/endurance overall. More thoughts later.
Looking for something to boost energy and improve muscle tone. As a 65 year old still working a physically demanding job I am having difficulty just making it through a day of work. After work is more work as I repair motorcycles at home. I’d hate to spend this kind of money for a product that doesn’t work. I’d really like to find a product that works in a short amount of time as well. Any thoughts?
Hi Ivan, are you getting enough sleep? hows the calories you are eating? Are you eating enough? Do you eat fruits/veggies?
Ivan, there is a product that has been around for 14 years but as of 4 months ago it is FDA Approved. I’ve been using it for 15 days. My results are better sleep than I’ve had in years, back pain was a solid 7 it’s now 0. I also have elbow pain that was also about a 7 couldn’t touch it without wincing. It has been reduced to hardly noticeable, I have energy and motivation and lost a couple pounds. My work out soreness has gone from 3 days to 1 day. It is a HGH Micro dose in a gel form. HGH has been FDA approved for many years and you can get from a doc but crazy expensive I know as I used that as well with great results but could not afford it. For menopausal women same results and increased libido. I have this product available and can send you links to research it.
Todd, why don’t you tell us all what it is? What is the name of this product? Don’t keep us in suspense 🙂
As it turns out, my testosterone test (taken before starting Fenugreek) came back and is/was extremely low. That explains a lot. Doc wants to refer me to a urologist for that.
Having not seen the urologist yet, I have been taking the Fenugreek two capsules twice per day (directions say two capsules 2-3 times per day) since my last posting on 4/21/16. As mentioned before, I noticed an immediate difference in erectile function (pretty much restored to normal on the very first day!).
I don’t yet know what effect it has had on the actual testosterone level. Will get tested again in a month or two to answer that question. Otherwise, no noticeable difference in anything else as far as energy, stamina, muscularity, alertness, etc…maybe too soon to tell. But a huge (HUGE) difference in ED. I’ve gotten exactly what I wanted out of it and am so glad I stumbled across this blog.
Mind you, this is only Fenugreek, and not Ageless Male. The FG is quite cheap on its own and for me, very effective.
GK, really glad its been helping you. It will be interesting to see what the urologist says. What brand of fenugreek are you taking? Just curious.
Followed your link above to Amazon…Nature’s Way is the brand.
Thanks GK!
Funny, the link above to Amazon for Fenugreek, the only two reviews there (5 star) are from women that praise it for boosting milk production…not exactly the boost I’m after! 🙂
I ordered it anyway, will post results later.
GK, If you really want to get an idea of what’s going on, get a blood test of your testosterone before trying it and again a month later. that should give you additional information.
I feel Stronger and energetic, I have MS, and I have got more muscle tone,a day it does work, I am 51 and I bench over 300, and curl 135, it is vitality at its best!!!!!!
Hi Jeff, if you are able to lift all that weight, why do you think you need Ageless male? You sound pretty ageless to me already.
Very interesting comments here. Learned a lot. Here are some of my own observations based on my own life and “trial&errors” experiments.
1. I am 68 years young. I am retired and have a Ph. D. For 64 years of my I had no serious health problems except mild depression and constipation.
2. After that I suffered serious tooth decay, some heart problems, sleep problems, fatigue, lack of libido, BPH symptoms,etc.
3. I did see “doctors.” I put “” marks because I have very low opinion about how much they really know and how much good they can do. They all want to put you through unnecessary “test” and “procedures” and try unnecessary and sometimes harmful “Rx meds”.
4. I did an awful lot of research and thinking. I can say with confidence that for most normal healthy people Rx cholesterol meds, BP meds, Rx. BPH meds, etc are useless at best and could be harmful for some.
5. A good night of sleep for at least 7 to 8 hours is a must. A good diet of natural foods, mostly fruits, vegetables, eggs, nuts, etc. are very essential. Good practice of meditation and positive thinking is necessary for reduction of stress and depression.
6. Now the subject at hand. I have found that I was deficient in Magnesium and D3 vitamin along with an excess of calcium. Take no calcium except what God put in natural food. I take Magnesium and D3 supplements with success so far. I take Urinozinc supplements for BPH supplements with some good results but jury is out for complete success.
7. Multivitamins can be a waste of money unless it is made from organic, natural sources without garbage fillers.
8. Fish oil of high quality can be good but will thin out your blood, so I am not taking them regularly. Aspirin was harmful to me giving me some bleeding.
9. Someone mentioned “Ashwagandha.” This is an Ayurvedic medicine with a thousand years of use behind it. However, it will thin out your blood leading to problems for some. Fenugreek has been used for thousands of years but is not the main remedy for ED or Testosterone replacement. Ayurveda realized a couple of thousand years ago that people are not all alike and not all foods and herbs work for all people alike.
10. Walking is the best exercise for people of mature age. At least 30 to 45 minutes a day is really great. Also No harm with this form of exercise.
I hope this helps someone here.
I can definitely say that Fenugreek works for sex-drive and has made a big difference in the bedroom…….I have seen some dramatic Fat-loss by taking 2 capsules of Fenugreek with each meal and about 1 table spoon of flaxseed powder in the morning. Less belly fat means less testosterone converted to estrogen so you get a much Higher level of FREE testosterone which gives you the confidence, desire, etc., when you are 55 years old like me. I doubt it has raised my testosterone level, but the FREE testosterone which I need to give me the Rockhard confidence is here again, and I feel like I am 30 years old.
Note:
I do take other things that are supposed to increase testosterone like Magnesium,
9 mg boron, 50 mg zinc, 2 ashwaghanda capsules, 1 holly basil, 3 ginger capsules, vitamin c, and several others………Instead of finding stuff to increase testosterone, look for things to decrease Cortisol because by decreasing Cortisol you Increase testosterone. Belly fat is an indication of high cortisol. My cholesterol is like 280 without meds and like 200+ with the zocor.
After taking Fenugreek/flaxseed for like a month, cholesterol level tested at 172, blood sugar was even at 97 so these 2 got LOWERED which means the stress on my body was less so cortisol is down and testosterone is UP. If I feel like testosterone is Lower, I stop the flaxseed powder which I don’t take regularly since it has been shown to lower testosterone in women with PCOS.
Finally:
If you don’t believe Fenugreek powder works, then go to webmd and look at the reviews of it………..You will find a guy on the review on webmd that testifies he took Viagra and Testosterone injections for like 10 years and now all he takes is Fenugreek Powder.
Fenugreek’s most abundant steroid called Diosgenin might be the reason for everything that has been happening in my body so I am not sure if these supplements claiming to have some Extract of Fenugreek in them really work because they may not actually have the Diosgenin.
I am a 78 year old male married to a 64 year old and my sex life is awesome, with the help of fenugreek,vitamin E, and zinc supplements. My psa level is maintained below 4.0 for many years because of my use of zinc supplements for the last 40 years.
I use to take AgelessMale which helped me alot but when I discovered that I could buy fenugreek alone at a cheaper price than AgelessMale which contains fenugreek , I get twice as much in one supplement than is in AgelessMale…
Charles, there is a Gel form Micro dose of HGH now available. No scams it’s FDA approved I’m just going to send yo the links and research yourself. I’ve had amazing results.
Hi Todd, why don’t you just tell us all here what the name of this product is?
Thank you….
I did not read through all of the comments, but you spelled college wrong
“This fenugreek-testosterone study was published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism in 2010. It involved 30 collage age male”
Bob, good eye and I fixed my spelling error. Thats what I get for not using a proof reader 🙂
Joe let me start by saying thanks for all the info.
Next I would like to know what you think about stacking dhea with l-arginine.
RaRa, Im glad to help. DHEA is a hormone that does a lot of things. My thoughts would depend on the reason you are asking. Do I think it helps men with erections? No. As for arginine, if you search my site for this amino acid you’ll see what Ive said about it previously in other reviews. Its been in several things Ive looked at already.
After falling for the radio hype i tried it. They sent me a bunch of bottles and charged my credit card buku money within about 18 days of initially giving them my credit card number. Since i was suffering from the hyperbolated radio symptoms, i thought, what-the-heck. I went through the 4 or 5 bottles they jammed up on me, with absolutely zero results.
The pills Joe Theismann hawks, SuperBeta Prostate, although pricey, do noticeably work for the prostate swelling and peeing. Same company, “New Vitality”, so i wonder why this Ageless Male product is so worthless? Maybe it’s a branch of “New Vitality” company run by the worthless brother-in-law or some situation like that.
Bad Joe – Naturopathic Doctor
Joe, Ive been wanting to review super beta prostate for a while now. It could be that the the research on super beta prostate is better than that of the Ageless Male ingredients? I know they changed the Ageless Male ingredients, something that made me update my review. Thanks for the feedback on what you experienced with Ageless Male and sorry it didnt work for you.
“good” joe 😉
Hi Joe,
Great post, thanks for posting the ingredients here, I’ve heard about fenugreek benefits but never really heard about Saw Palmeto advantages much.
do you know anyone who personally uses this product?
Thanks,
Ron
Ron, thanks. I don’t personally know anyone who has tried Ageless Male unfortunately.
I have been trying my husband on various herbals to raise his low-t (200). He has not felt any different when taking them and we do not want to take pharmaceuticals. We are more natural herbal supporters because of the lower side effects. Does anyone know of herbal supplements that can raise his low-t and stop his symptoms of ED, depression and difficult concentrating? I would love any response that you have. Thanks
Chris, does your husband need to lose weight? weight loss can help T raise T levels.
ED is complicated and can be a sign of more than just low testosterone levels. has your husband seen his doctor about this? I recommend he do this if he hasn’t. Exercise can help and in the book the China Study, the author mentions how a vegetarian lifestyle has cured ED . I listended to the audio book of this so I wasnt able to see the references for this statement. they may be listed in the book version.
I’m currently using DIM plus, has anyone had any affects? I have one, within 24 hours I have noticed the need to urinate about every 4 to 5 hours. Would this be normal?
Glen I see DIM Plus marketed to women, as an estrogen supplement. How is DIM plus for men different?
Unless I read wrong , I understood it equilized or removed excess estorgen and helped testosterone levels in men. If I’m doing this wrong, what do you recommend.
Glen, so far I have not found any supplement that significantly raised testosterone levels in men. I do keep looking though. What I can say is that exercise and weight loss have been shown to raise T levels and lower estrogen in men. If you are thinking about this because of erection problems, I recommend talking to your doctor because this can sometimes be more complicated than just testosterone levels and it can be a sign of other things happening as well.
It’s a another television rip-off,ya it’s free alright,after they charge your credit card three or four times! When are people going to learn if it sounds to good to be true,then it’s a rip-off!! Their is no longer anyway to protect yourself from these scams,so do your self a favor, if you need more strength exercise, see a real dr. you’ll be better off in the long run!!
joe ,, thanx for all the info this was a great read i bin on test for 3 years n had nothing but sexual problems with it if my level is round 300 im perfect but when my levels start to get high the ed sets in the dr.s don’t get it nor do i so i did a cycle of clomid for 21 days n everything was great as soon as i was done with that my levels declined back to round 100.
im back on test on 50 i got the body of a 25 year old but what good is it with the ed after readn thru your page i wonder could the lipitor im on be depleting my t levels ?any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Daniel, that would be a question Id ask a pharmacist. I did a quick search and found this on webmd
http://www.webmd.com/erectile-dysfunction/news/20100416/statins_may_lower_testosterone_libido?page=2
thanx for your reply joe ive talked to dr.s and pharmacists all clueless thanks for the link i will read it now
Joe, What is your take on Andro Gel…I am afraid of the effect it might have on my prostate? What would you consider the best thing to take to help increase testosterone…..n outright anser would be nice….
Tony, I know people who have taken Andro Gel and they say its raised their testosterone level. if you are concerned with the side effects, I’d get regular PSA tests and check ups by a urologist who can best council you on its effects and side effects.
Things that will increase testosterone naturally include exercise – both aerobic exercise and strength training will work. Here is a review of a study that looked at the combination of strength first or cardio first on testosterone levels http://helpforpersonaltrainers.com/strength-first-or-cardio-first-effects-on-testosterone-levels/
weight loss can also raise testosterone levels.
