What are Testosterone Boosters?

Testosterone boosters contain a range of herbal ingredients designed to increase testosterone. Herbs offer a natural way to boost testosterone instead of artificially stimulating hormones. High testosterone levels are associated with muscle growth and strength gains.

A number of herbs demonstrate the ability to increase testosterone levels and therefore influence performance. Common ingredients in testosterone boosters can generally be classified into 3 groups depending on the action they have.

Increase testosterone: Includes herbs such as ginseng, eurycoma longifolia, zinc, magnesium and tribulus terrestris.

Reduce oestrogen: Includes diindolyl methane (DIM), saw palmetto.
Maintain prostate health: Includes saw palmetto.

Provide additional support: A number of ingredients that do not directly aid increasing testosterone levels. These ingredients include thermogenic ingredients, vitamins and minerals.

How Testosterone Boosters improve performance

Anabolic herbs are presumed to mimic or convert into anabolic steroids. This is due to their similarities in chemical structure. Anecdotal evidence of their muscle building effects are rife, however, this isn't always backed by scientific research.

How to use Testosterone Boosters

Testosterone boosters typically come in capsules that are taken several times throughout the day. Recommended use will change from product to product, depending on the ingredients and potency.
Testosterone boosters need to be cycled. This means you should not take them continuously and include breaks every 4-8 weeks. The products will provide guidelines for cycling.
