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?
I am 66 years old and overweight. 15 to 20 operations in last 8 years due to car accident. Very tired all the time and no motivation. I started taking Ageless Male 2+ months ago and cannot believe the difference! Within about 2 weeks I was feeling years younger with lots of energy.
Motivated to join gym now and enjoying it. I do not plan to ever be without this supplement. I don’t know how it will work for you, but for me it has been miraculous!
Thx for the info…I have an issue with body and hormones and my doc wont give me hgh. I was curious about ageless male and now see the light…thx bro….will try fenugreek soon.
@ David (and others)
If your strem is slowing down you have a procedure called a ‘Bladder neck incision’, done with a laser (preferably a green laser) under general anesthetic as day surgery, in and out the same day. I had one 5-6 years ago for the same reasons.
It’s probably genetic, my dad had the same issue only he ignored it. Then 15 years ago or thereabouts on a flight to London he blocked up completely, couldn’t pee a drop so when the plane landed he was rushed to hospital to have the procedure, I didn’t want to let it get that far. 🙂
As for the libido thing, I’m still only running at 60% from the other issues mentioned in my posts above. The shingles has almost cleared up and I have now have an oral thrush problem from the anti biotics/steroids *sigh* but I think it’s slowly turning around. Used some of the yam/chaste tree cream on the weekend and Mr Libido did respond as per my previous usage so I still highly recommend people to give it a try next time you’re at the health shop.
I’ll keep updating when I get back to regular usage but it could still be a few more weeks away yet.
Both astaxanthin and saw palmetto are anti inflammatory in action. If you have BPH – benign prostatic hypertrophy -both of these will lower the inflammation of the prostate and allow for easier urination but as to the increase in testosterone, I doubt it.
Thanks Joe. I do a lot of walking and driving. I’m a feild tech\engineer in computer service. Working a contract for Citizens Bank right now. This requires a lot of driving and walking. I use the stairs as much as possible, up to 3-4 floors, after that i’ll use the elevator. My bathroom is on the first floor and my bedroom is upstairs so i’m going up and down a full flight at least a half dozen times a day, lol.
I forgot to mention I was in a bad accident in oct 2009 which knocked me out of work a few months due to severe whiplash. A year later I had a stroke which caused my right arm and leg to be useless for several more months, they started working again in Feb and I was back to work in March. I’m fairly active for someone with so many issues actual. I do a lot of fishing and I mow a 6000 Sq ft lawn once a week.
As you can see simple answers are difficult when it comes to my health. I used to be a lot more active and hardly in the house when the weather is good, however over the last couple years I have been getting way too sedate and want something to get me off my ass again. I never used to be so tired at the end of the day.
I have a very nice foam bed and sleep pretty good considering everything. I do live with chronic pain that gets worse at times. I’ve been on the edge of asking the doctor for painkillers and am trying not to. I just want something that will help me have more energy.
I was thinking about HGH, but, I don’t know much about it, how to get it and so on. After turning 50 I started paying attention to the Testosterone loss as a reason for the lack of energy\ambition along with everything else.
That’s when I started looking on line about it and came across your site. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Bob, yes health is very complicated. considering your past history i would not try anything without running it past your dr first. i dont think hgh is right for you and would not try it. I wish i knew of something that i had faith in. I think before you do anything that getting a good physical would be a good start. maybe that might uncover something that can be rectified.
Hi Joe,
I am 47 and have some issues with an enlarged prostate and low sex drive. I have tried many different supplements. To be straight, the only thing that actually helps me with my prostate so I can urinate properly and function sexually like I am 21 is Samauri X.
I get it at a local bodega. I don’t know what’s in it or why it works, but it is the only one. The problem is that it costs $8 per pill. Also, you need to check for fakes, the real one has a hologram on the package. Do you know what is in it that works?
David, I looked it up and it looks like it has these ingredients
Honry Goat Weed
Tribulus Terrestris
Maca Root Extract
Damiana Leaf
L-Argine
Ginseng Powder
Ginko Biloba Extract
Vitamin B1, B2, B6, E
Calcium Phosphate
Magnesium Stearate
Gelatin
Just off the top of my head, I think the horny goat weed that might be the main active ingredient. arginine might also help some. if you enter these ingredients in the search box, you can read write ups on them. most of these ingredients have been in other products Ive reviewed.
Because of the info on this site I won’t be buying AM. I was leaning towards a different solution anyway since the cost is as high as it is, I already spend about $240 a month on my meds and the ingredients can be had easily for less.
I just turned 50 in April and have been noticing the usual age related stuff happening with more frequency and intensity. I am going to the bathroom considerably more than just a couple of years ago and I definitely have a lack of energy that has been getting worse and more noticeable.
I have had 4 back surgeries on my 2 lowest discs between 97-03, L4 micro discectomy and L5 failed micro discectomy, standard discectomy that didn’t do much better and then fusion with about 6 screws, spacers and a plate which they had to cut me open in front for as well. The last surgery worked well enough to get me off the heavy duty painkillers since 2005, about 2 1/2 years after the last surgery.
I was going through a nasty divorce and 7 yr custody battle that I eventually won, at the same time. A sister passed in 05 as well, leaving me a 7 yr old niece to take care of as well as my 8 yr old daughter, since about 03 they have been raised like sisters so I have two teenaged girls to keep up with as well. Being a single parent that alone would tap me of any energy I have,
I have asthma which I use 2 meds for, advair and albuterol. I also take Lisinopril and hcf for high blood pressure. I went on tramadol after I got off the narcotics.
Will the fenugreek or anything else mentioned here interfere with these meds?
I’m looking specifically for something to help with my energy level. My sex life has been trashed by my back issues and lack of energy so I’m seriously interested in changing that.
With all thats been going on over the last 10-12 years I just haven’t cared about being in any steady relationship. The kids are 15 and 16 now so they don’t need or want my attention anymore, except when they need something of course, so my time for myself is increasing significantly and I am looking to do more for myself now.
I’m sorry to go on like this, but, sometimes when you start it’s hard to pick a stopping point. I’m just looking for something that works and don’t want to waste time or money and your site has helped considerably already in that area, thanks.
Any suggestions?
Bob,I really want to commend you for taking care of your niece and raising 2 young ladies, in the midst of all you have been through. I’m not sure if fenugreek would interact with your meds, Id say take to your pharmacist and see what they think. Id also talk to your doctor about this and see if they have anything for you. at the least get your testosterone level checked. I know you have had back problems but are you able to exercise? are you? Even walking can do wonders for a lot of things including energy levels. if walking is not possible, how about riding a recubant bike – which takes pressure off the back. pool exercise can help too. Talk to your doctor about exercise too. maybe your insurance might even cover it.
I have been taking ageless now for nearly three months and none of the cures that they have promoted have done anything for me. It is a scam and they sent me three more bottles without me ordering them.. I refused them and sent the package back to them .
Ageless Male is like AMYWAY. It’s a marketing scheme, but as soon as the geometric progression of suckers who buy this crap find out that it really doesn’t work, the whole thing will collapse. There will be bottles of this crap next to your 1970’s unused aftershave you got for Christmas when you actually had an abundance of T.
Good work tracking this and getting down to the real facts. I’ll be interested in what more you can find.
I have taken this Ageless Male scam for nearly 3 months and it has done nothing for me that they advertise.
Think about it, they sell it for $39.95 for a month and give a lot away in promotions. With all the radio and TV advertising, how much value could really be in the ingredients. Not only that, but are they in a bio available form, are the ingredients active, and is what is on the label actually in the bottle. Who knows.
I researched a very high quality nutritional program that provides a lot more nutrition than ageLess Male. I’ve been using it for 2 years and feel great. I am 67, single and have a very healthy libido as well as being in great shape. I also take the same company’s Prostate Formula which includes a very high grade extract of Sal Palmetto among other ingredients found to be good for the Prostate. At my last physical my PSA was .7 and 3 years before that it was .4. To put that in perspective, the alarm goes off at 4.0.
You are a credit to society. To save ones hard earned treasure from the modern day snake oil salesman and their deceptive claims, is nothing but honorable. May your life be long and your vigilance constant to expose these thieves of the public trust.
Robert, wow! I’m speechless. Thanks, thats very kind of you to say.
Thank you, Joe…this was valuable information. My compliments on your comprehensive research. This has helped me immensely. Greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Leo
I went to the local department store (WM) and bought Fenugreek….I’ve used it for two weeks so far, and I’ve already noticed a difference sexually and even with my activity level. Try it… it’s cheap enough to try yourself.
I found this site after googling AM complaints. Thank goodness for your site I thank you. I’m 69 yrs. old in good shape ( I lost 65 Lbs), I also work out 4 days a week at a gym. My wife passed away an now I’m dating again I never dreamed I would be dating at my age, but I am. (all from the Internet) it worked for me. I’m now going out with a very nice woman an we are talking about having children, don’t believe that, I’m just kidding. After reading all these letters it gives me a better perspective of AM. I didn’t purchase it yet
I don’t trust that Dr. they don’t tell you how much he is being compensated for that commercial I would love to know. I have ED so I’m seeking any vitamins or herbals, or combination of each that would help me. I know I could take the blue pill but I’m trying to avoid any extra medications in my body. One thing I must add a fellow gym person has been taking this AM he is 51 years old an he swears by it big time he’s very convincing.
He has been working out for years an is in great shape. I inquired about the AM he said as for him it has given him great stamina an more drive in the bedroom. That’s when my antenna went up, I have prostate urine problems and so does he so were in the same boat.
Here on this site I read about taking Frenugreek, Androgel, Saw Palmetto, Astaxanthin, an Red Panax Gensing that could be game changers in our sex lifes for me an my fellow old timers that haven’t given up yet, so I’m going to look into those products an see what happens before I order this AM.
By the way to avoid getting ripped off when ordering something I always ask about mailing them a money order rather then a credit card, or check, so try that because once they get your numbers it’s hard getting out. You hear a lot of horror stories. Thanks again everyone for all you comments it helps! I hope to get back to all with some results in the near future.

I am 48 and over the past year or so have noticed a pretty large decrease in my overall energy level and my gut is definitely getting more than a bit fatty.
As of today, after reading this article, I decided to buy the Fenugreek to see what if anything changes. I don’t plan on changing anything else from my daily routine so I will let you know in about 6 weeks how I feel and if there have been any physical changes to my gut.
By the way, I purchased the Fenugreek from GNC. 610mg capsules and 200 capsules per bottle for $14.00. That’s a lot cheaper than Ageless Male for an experiment!!!
I honestly don’t trust Any study taking place in India–period.
They are beyond corrupt and would sell their children in order to make a few Rubies. American companies go there and pay for results. Harsh statement, but in a country that is known for it’s blatant corruption and an average wage of 300/ per year–I don’t even trust their “educated” folks.
Americans scientists are weasels and only care about money too, but they have more integrity–slightly more, but enough to gamble on their objectivity in double blind studies (which every good study should be?)
I Adam 62.
I have worked out Or been physically active, getting flight physicals, most of my life.
What works for me:
Twinlab tribulus fiel. $19.00 per month
Natural balance. Dhea for men. $40 short term 4-6 hours
Iron trek max growth with zma pm. (for bedtime)
Others:
Potassium 99
B complex 50
Glucosamine complex with chondroitin mms. From healthy edge
Bar leans omega man omega 3 6 9
Also folic acid co q 10
It takes all of it in various combinations
Joe, sorry to hear about your setback that caused you to go off supplements. I hope you get better buddy. You have helped a lot of people with your blog here. I bought your supplement book from Amazon and I love it. It is a great resource.
About me, I have now been on a testosterone gel treatment for a month and I do feel a lot better myself with a lot more energy. My original blood testosterone test was at 260 at the end of May and I will have my followup test in 2-weeks.
I was still having some issues with maintaining an erection during sex with my very understanding girlfriend. I read that Viagra helps erections by increasing your levels of nitric oxide resulting in better blood flow to your penis, etc.
So, I started using L-Arginine Complete since it is reported to help increase the nitric oxide in your blood. After a couple of days, I noticed more activity in my penis and the last two days has been the best sex with my girlfriend in over a month. L-Arginine Complete is a little expensive but I’m going to keep using it.
Also, for the guy whose girlfriend/partner who said she’d leave if he took the blue pill; – please forget her. The hell with any women too selfish to help us guys be our best. There are so many other better ladies out there.
Thanks again Joe for your blog.
