A comprehensive blend aiming for broad health benefits, particularly testosterone support and fat burning. While it includes many beneficial ingredients and offers good transparency, the dosing for many specific claims falls short of clinically effective levels, making it more of a general wellness supplement than a targeted powerhouse.

Score 65.0

A comprehensive blend aiming for broad health benefits, particularly testosterone support and fat burning. While it includes many beneficial ingredients and offers good transparency, the dosing for many specific claims falls short of clinically effective levels, making it more of a general wellness supplement than a targeted powerhouse.

Analysis

This product attempts to combine multiple functionalities, primarily focusing on testosterone support and fat burning, alongside an extensive list of other general health benefits. It contains a blend of vitamins, minerals, adaptogens, and thermogenic compounds. For testosterone support, it includes Zinc, Boron, Ashwagandha (KSM-66), Stinging Nettle, and Shilajit. While these ingredients have known roles in male health, the dosages for Stinging Nettle (25mg) and Shilajit (50mg) are considerably lower than those used in most clinical studies demonstrating significant testosterone-boosting effects. Ashwagandha (337.5mg KSM-66) is a good quality extract, but often studied at 600mg for direct hormonal impacts, though this dose is still beneficial for stress. For fat burning and metabolism, ingredients like Green Tea Extract (270mg), Caffeine (75mg), and Chromium (100mcg) are present. The caffeine and green tea provide a mild metabolic boost, but the cayenne (30mg) is unlikely to have a strong thermogenic effect at this low dose. The product's overall approach is to provide a broad blend rather than highly concentrated doses for specific outcomes, which dilutes its efficacy for its bolder claims, particularly 'Testosterone-Extra' and 'Fat Burner'.

Pros
  • Contains well-regarded ingredients like KSM-66 Ashwagandha, Green Tea, Zinc, and Boron.
  • Transparent ingredient list with no proprietary blends, allowing consumers to see individual dosages.
  • Liquid softgel form may offer improved absorption compared to traditional capsules or tablets.
Cons
  • Many key ingredients are present at lower dosages than typically found effective in clinical research for the specific benefits claimed, especially for testosterone support and fat burning.
  • The product makes an extensive list of claims (over 20 unique goals), which is unrealistic for a single supplement with the given dosages.
  • The caffeine content (75mg) might be a concern for individuals sensitive to stimulants, especially if taken later in the day.
Warnings
  • Individuals sensitive to caffeine should be aware of the 75mg caffeine content, which could disrupt sleep or cause jitters if consumed late or by very sensitive individuals.
  • Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if taking medications that affect blood sugar, blood pressure, or hormone levels, due to ingredients like chromium, stinging nettle, and ashwagandha.
  • The broad claims may set unrealistic expectations for significant, noticeable effects across all listed goals due to general underdosing for many of them.
