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’ve seen the commercial, and it is pretty deceptive in what it says and doesn’t say. For instance, the doctor talks about improving sex drive and performance, but he never says that the product does that. He mentions mostly that improving testosterone levels will do that. I don’t think he ever explicitly says that the product will do anything.
Joe,
I am 57, a cardiologist, T level 220, about 30% below the lower limit of normal in our lab. I found your discussion well crafted and on target. Specifically, there is no disclosure of long-term data. And adverse clinical effects of exogenous T are noteworthy. Benign prostatic hypertrophy can be exacerbated and some men can be at increased risk of prostate cancer. Liver function can be abnormal and should be monitored while taking T. And finally early morning T serum level should be followed to monitor the effect of the drug.
A hormone “enhancer” at a cost below what insurance coverage might allow for the FDA approved drug does have some appeal. But the clear lack of documentation of effect and risk should be a warning to the buyer. For these reasons I talked myself out of AM.
Steve, thanks for your words. Much appreciated!
Joe,
Do you have an email address, so that I may defend the concept that HIV does not cause AIDS? This is not a new/unknown revelation….
Tricia, Thanks. if you want to email me you can send the info through the contact page on the site.
Joe I’m scheduling a colonoscopy within the next 2 weeks and I read on another website that saw palmetto(another ingredient in ageless male) will give false readings for cancer testing. I also just recieved a bottle of ageless male.I’m gonna hold off on starting the ageless male 30 day trial but I will be cancelling the automatic shipping and charging to my credit card for the next months supply.
Mike, check with a pharmacist or urologist or oncologist about sal palmetto causing a false positive reading on colon cancer treatment. I did a quick search for you to see if I could find anything on it but was not able to find any studies. But double check with your urologist/oncologist or a pharmacist just to make sure. they are likely more in line with that research. Either way, I agree with your decision to hold off on Ageless Male until after you colonoscopy just in case.
Wes,
The article states that there are 7 companies in the US that manufacture vitamins, the rest are produced overseas, mostly in China. I have found at least three health related websites that make that claim.
As far as Intramax and Zucker Labs, I haven’t found any negative reviews of their products. According to the information I have found, so far, it looks like a good product. I will keep looking as time allows.
I would like to share a website that has a great product. They are out of Sedona, AZ.
http://www.lifestar.com/Pages/homepage.html
There is a wealth of information on their website. Enjoy and Happy New Year Everyone!
Tricia, I looked at the webpage you gave and located the page that lists the vitamin companies http://www.lifestar.com/Pages/vitamincompanies.html
I only glanced at the site. The thing about supplement websites and magazines etc that always gets me is that the authors write in flowery, long winded sentences intermixed with complex science-type words. This website does it too. Over the years, I see this type of flowery, overly complex writing a LOT from supplement websites and magazines.
For example on the page that discusses enzymes they say “The medical dictionary defines an enzyme as “a protein produced in a cell capable of greatly accelerating, by its catalytic action, the chemical reaction of a substance (the substrate) for which it is specific.” The sentence is too wordy and overly technical for most people. For a science guy like myself, who likes to “cut to the chase” when I read sentences like this it makes me wonder what they are hiding.
The website also sells a book – for $35 – that HIV does not cause AIDS. To believe that means that every scientist in the world – including those who work at universities – are in on a global secret. That is not something I can accept. Anybody can write a book about anything. even stuff that is not true.
Since this is about Ageless Male I’m off topic here and wont speak of the website again. I will take their word on the 7 US companies that make vitamins but all the other stuff on the site I saw, I just cant believe.
Ron,
Thank you very much! I appreciate you taking the time to say that 🙂 I used to be on Facebook and what ending up happening was that all of my time was spent answering my friends questions. I was very glad to do it, problem was that I wasn’t spending enough time with my boys. So, for now, Joe has been kind enough to allow me to add to his blog. Thanks Joe!
Glad to help Tricia 🙂
Joe and Tricia, I once was a rep for Roche and realize they produced vitamin supplements. However, I am not sure it is true that 7 manufacturers are the only source of vitamin supplements. I am currently taking intraMAX from Drucker Labs and they claim to have a 100% Carbon-bond organic product with no synthetic chemical nutrients. http://www.druckerlabs.com
Wes, I dont know if its exactly 7 companies but I have heard that most places get their vitamins/minerals from a few warehouses. I’m not sure what Drucker labs means by “100% carbon bond.” Most things on Earth -us too – are basically made of carbon atoms bonded together.
Tricia,
You demonstrate a deep knowledge-base on these topics and your writing is concise and informative. Perhaps you should consider publishing your own blog.
I have been on Ageless Male for three weeks. (I had been taking L-Tyrosene, DHEA, Vitamin D (not sure which) and I still felt ancient at the age of 47.) ***Now I feel like I’m 20 years old. *** I will take it in the early AM (1/2 hr before coffee) and in the late afternoon (so I can sleep well.) No more need for naps, my focus is better, I’m optimistic, way more social, and lookin’ for love.
Joe,
I recently stumbled on this blog and I think the information is GREAT! You have a new follower, and I will read often.
I have recently started the process of getting back in shape. I am 5’7” and almost weighed 200 lbs with about 35 percent body fat. I was a fat piece of you know what. I hated myself, my kids laughed at my belly and every time I said I was going to lose it they laughed and said here we go again… Dad is going on a diet.
I had heard enough. My problem was what I read earlier, I was sooo tired all the time, blood pressure was high and I had ZERO energy nor desire to do anything. I made my road back one day at a time. Joined the gym again last Feb 11th but, really started working out Mid June/July time frame when I finally started the road back.
I still weighed 195 lbs so; the first couple months were just mentally getting me started and routine of going to the gym regularly. 1st thing was DIET. The crap you put into your body affects your mood and desire to work for good health. I began the 5-6 smaller meals a day program, cutting my calorie intake in half. Lighter breakfast, reduced sugars, and began with natural sugars from fruit and sweet veggies.
I did supplement however, large canister of Whey protein, and for the workouts I took a pre-workout formula to kick start my efforts, and for about 90 days I took creatine for muscle gain. Today I am a proud 180lbs, @ 9.2% body fat and I have more energy than I had 10 years ago. (BTW, I turn 46 in April 2012)
I have revived a stronger sexual appetite, and don’t have the mood swings, dragging/depression, etc. I don’t know my testosterone levels or those other things but, I do know my blood pressure is almost back to 120/80 (I am 132/86 as of this past Tuesday) and will continue to get it down by natural means. NO MEDICATION!
I know this blog tends to address supplements and medication but, I wanted to introduce that natural changes are best. My diet consists of low carbs, GREEK yogurt, all the fruit I can stand, whole wheat bread, lean cuts of meat, and frequently drinking COLD water which is noted by some research I read to increase metabolism. I have made a lifestyle change and that must be part of any decision to improve health. Sorry for the book but, I wanted to tell the whole story. 🙂
Hey Tony those are fantastic changes you have made!! Yes I agree natural is a good way to go and it sounds like you have done just that! I do address health issues as well as exercise on my personal website – Joe-Cannon.com so you might like that also. Again congrats on all you have accomplished!!
Its so funny how that commercial grabs you. “if you answer yes to any of these questions” Well of course I did. But I think it has to do with many other things. But I would be lying if I told you it didn’t interest me. Thank god your site pops second under ageless male. I think its the idea that taking a pill will make it all go away.
But I know at least with me, that diet and exercise will make you feel 100% better. Its funny that they show the doctor at the end of the commercial all stacked with no shirt on. Like all he did was take the pill to get that way.
Thanks for the right up Joe! Ill be sure to keep checking in to see what results people are getting.
Good site Joe. I have just bought 3 months of ageless male and (as I’m in the UK) have had to pay $25 for shipping.
I’ll let you know what happens, but I get the gist of what you’re saying as “it seems unlikely but there’s no conclusive proof”.
Am I right, or have I just bought a load of snake oil?
Terry, yes do keep me posted what happens. While it has Ageless Male has no direct proof that it does what they say and I’m skeptical, I always try to keep an open mind 🙂
to Dafixer: there is a peptide out there call melatonen (not sure if the spelling is correct), but it works very well for the issue at hand. But it will also change the pigment in your skin, which is the reason I was taking it, to get darker for a competition…but it works! let me know what you find in your research of it..
Terry I searched for the word you posted but all I could see was “Melatonin” not sure if that’s what you were referring to. Also I took out your email address because I didnt want the spam robots to pick up on it. placing your email on the internet is an easy way to get on many spam email lists.
guys, don’t be fooled by this “ageless male” product, do not waste your money!! There is no scientific evidence that proves you can raise your test levels orally! Just do your research, I’m not a doctor, but all of my business partners are, but I have been studying this my whole life and have taken and studied every test product out there. The only proven way to introduce test to your body is intramuscular(injection) and topical(which has a much lower absorption rate and problems with transfer). I’m no writer so please excuse my grammar!
Joe I like many others noticed ageless male while sitting on my azz watching tv . So I had to Google it ! That’s how I discovered your site ! Your site is amazing and I’m. Very happy to have found it you are an example of the very few people this planet has left that actually truly does want to help people and educate others with out emptying they’re bank accounts !
Life as one gets older unfortunately is not as easy and painless as when one is younger so time is very precious when trying to gain better quality of life and I feel that by being truthful as you are is a great benefit when trying to obtain the increase in quality and knowledge of what works and what doesn’t and what is also a total waste of money and time is much appreciated.
there’s much more id love to post but here we go with TIME and not enough of it lol again well again thank you for all you do in answering all that you do for everyone 🙂 as far as AGELESS MALE I believe it goes IF IT LOOKS GOOD YOU WILL SEE IT ,IF IT SOUNDS GOOD YOU WILL HEAR IT ,IF ITS MARKETED RIGHT YOU’LL BUY IT ,BUT IF ITS REAL YOU’LL FEEL IT ! So work hard eat right exercise and keep on checking in on this site its REAL I CAN FEEL IT. Thanks. Grant
Grant, thanks for your very kind words. that’s the best compliment Ive had all month 🙂 I’m glad I was able to help and I do hope you had a nice Christmas.
Now does that ageless pills really help?? Im 30yrs old n only 2 yrs ago is when i noticed i wasn’t up n about everywhere doing everything and always on the move, N one thing is cant understand, But I LOVE sex, but lately its like ehh ok maybe or nah just dont feel like it, 🙁 I dont know what to do, A doc i know in town told me to get the testosterone injection and use them cuz he says its alot better then the herbal type things out there that dont work, I heard that stuff is a crazy amount of money, so i have no idea what to do
Erik, why dont you tell your doctor about this so he/she can measure your testosterone levels. Just saying to “get the testosterone shot” may not be the best advice unless we know what your testosterone levels are to begin with. Also, us men are complicated; many things -life and work stress etc – can make us feel the way you are talking about. I think that’s the best course of action. I hope that helps Erik and Merry Christmas!!
After reading all of the comments, I still have not seen an answer for the difference between Androgel and Ageless Male. Which one actually shows a difference? My doctor prescribed Androgel for me a couple of years ago, but after 5 months I noticed only a slight improvement, at the cost of $120.00/month. The price before my insurance kicked in was over $300.00/month. Now Ageless Male seems a lot less expensive and is it more effective?
Ace C, good question. The big difference is the Androgel is the actual testosterone hormone while Ageless Male is a supplement that contains ingredients that the product maker says will help correct (“support”) healthy testosterone levels. Androgel has evidence that it can help some men while I cant find any research published on Ageless Male itself.
It may be that you need a greater concentration of Androgel than you were getting so speak to your doctor about. Androgel is expensive -as you are well aware – so if you do try Ageless Male, please do get your testosterone levels tested a month or so later and let me know what happens if it goes up. Don’t take Ageless Male while also taking Androgel either so you know how Ageless Male is working. While I have my doubts, I honestly dont know if Ageless Male will raise your T levels or not – and Im curiuos.
Joe, With Pycogenol (100 mg) at $30 for 30 capsules and Arginine (500 mg) at $9 for 100 capsules, it seems to be about the same difference. The thing that I have found most interesting about ANY vitamins purchased in the US….is the following information:
Unknown to most consumers world wide, there are no brand name vitamin companies that actually manufacture their own vitamin material. They may create the formulas and manufacture the tablets, but they do not create the vitamin material. It is all manufactured by 14 companies worldwide and seven of them are located in the United States. Currently emerging to be accepted commercially into the original 14 are several companies in China.
IN THE UNITED STATES THERE ARE ONLY SEVEN COMPANIES THAT MANUFACTURE VITAMINS
The seven Companies Are:
1. Pfizer Chemicals Division.
2. Fine Chemicals Division Henkel Corporation.
3. Takeda USA Takeda Chemical Industries, LTD.
4. Roche Chemical Division Hoffman LaRoche.
5. Archer Daniels Midland Corporation.
6. Chemicals Division BASF Wyandotte Corp.
7. Eastman Chemical Company
100% of the vitamins made by these companies are synthetic or identical to synthetic. They are all made to an internationally accepted standard referred to as USP-grade (United States Pharmacopoeia) of FCC (Food Chemical Codex) vitamin material, in other words, free-form vitamin molecules without their natural food attachments.
Among these are vitamins derived from so-called natural sources, and even these are stripped of their natural protein bonds and other food attachments, including enzymes. They frequently contain detectable amounts of petroleum-based extraction solvents such as Hexane a component of gasoline. Almost all vitamins on the market today, whether labeled natural source or natural base, have been so processed as to leave them in a totally unnatural free form, not in the natural form in which nutrients are delivered in living food.
Tricia, yes I was aware that its only a few big distributors which make the vitamins and ship them out to others to be repackaged. I have not heard about Hexane in vitamins. That’s not a good thing (obviously). Id guess if its there, its pretty low. I think we should get most of our nutrients from food anyway since the bulk of the vitamin supporting research actually stems from looking at what happens when people eat food.
I stopped taking Testosterone shots 4 months ago and decided to try Ageless Male. I feel better and have lost weight. The shots put me through hills and valleys but Ageless Male keeps me level, I have more energy, sex is 100% better, and I’ve lost weight.
Steve thats very interesting how long did it take for you to feel a difference? do you take it with food or on an empty stomach? are you taking any other supplements with Ageless Male?
Thank you.
