Blade Nutrition Test Booster 1.0
is an advanced testosterone support complex designed to support healthy testosterone levels while assisting gains in both strength and size. Our unique formula is engineered to perform synergistically through multiple pathways providing intense testosterone and estrogen support.*
DETAILS
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods; it is also produced endogenously when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. Vitamin D receptors are located throughout the body, including the testis, pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Researchers believe vitamin D likely plays a regulatory role in supporting testosterone production. In a recent study, data was gathered from 2,854 male participants, and serum vitamin D levels were positively associated with total testosterone levels. The study found that those men with lower vitamin D levels were associated with lower total testosterone levels. As such, Vitamin D has been suggested to play an essential role in supporting testosterone production.*
Zinc is an important mineral that plays a vital role in protein synthesis and assists in regulating the immune system. Zinc also plays a significant role in enzyme, hormone and immune functions. Serum Zinc levels are positively associated with testosterone. In human studies on zinc deficiency, supplementation of zinc has been shown to assist with circulating testosterone concentrations. One study reported 250mg of zinc sulfate for six weeks, is able to support testosterone by 84%.*
D-Aspartic Acid is an ingredient that has been clinically suggested to support the release and synthesis of testosterone levels during training. One study demonstrated that after 12 days of supplementation with 3 grams of D-Aspartic acid per day resulted in a 42% increase in testosterone levels. Another study found that subject’s consuming 3 grams of D-aspartic acid for 14 days improved performance in one maximal repetition (1MR) bench press and squat performance.*
DIM (Diindolylmethane) is a primary active compound in cruciferous vegetables, mainly from cabbage and radishes. Referred to as a super anti-oxidant, DIM has many benefits. DIM supports healthy estrogen metabolism and hormonal balance in the body.*
DHEA, or Dehydroepiandrosterone, is a hormone generated by the body and controlled by the adrenal gland. Both male sex hormones (i.e. testosterone) and female sex hormones (i.e. estrogen) depend on the body’s production of DHEA, as it is a precursor for all sex hormones. It is natural for levels of DHEA to decrease with age; thus, supplementation may help support these levels. One study examined the impact of 50 mg of DHEA once per night in middle-aged men. The researchers found that oral DHEA supplementation supported free testosterone levels above the baseline for the middle-aged group. In another study analyzing DHEA and testosterone levels, they sought to determine the short-term DHEA supplementation and whether it would increase certain hormonal levels in older male subjects. The test subjects each received 50 mg of DHEA every day at bedtime for two months. It was determined that testosterone levels increased to an average of 23.6 nmol/l versus the placebo group that measured in at 17.7 and nmol/l.*
Tribulus Terrestris has been suggested to support endogenous levels of testosterone. In a clinical study done in 2012, researchers aimed to determine the effectiveness of tribulus in supporting testosterone levels. The study reported that subject’s consuming tribulus increased testosterone by approximately 16%. In another study, 32 athletes, between the ages of 20-22 were divided into two separate groups over the course of 20 days; one group received 1875 mg of tribulus daily whereas the control group consumed their standard diet. Upon conclusion of the study, it was found that the group that supplemented with tribulus had positive effects on various performance and testosterone measurements.*
