Testosurge Fenugreek Extract - 600 MG
Fenugreek extract comes from the plant of the same name which is native to India and has been widely used in cooking and ayurvedic medicine for decades.
It is most commonly used as it can boost testosterone levels, libido, muscle tone and mass, and male sexual and reproductive functions. However, it can also reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels and help to combat conditions like Alzheimer's disease and diabetes as well.
For its testosterone boosting effects to occur, you need to consume between 400 and 600 mg of fenugreek extract per day. This means that the BioXgenic 12 Hour X-Treme Testosterone Booster formula actually starts out pretty strong, as it contains the upper end of this range (1). However, we should note that this is also in other much better boosters (including Testofuel which we recommend instead).
Maca Extract - 600 MG
Extracts from maca plants have long been used in traditional medicine, as there is a belief that they offer a variety of health benefits, including improving libido, sexual functions, sexual desire, and mood, and reducing anxiety, depression, and the symptoms of menopause (2).
The problem is, that it doesn't do anything to boost testosterone, it is pretty effective when it comes to libido though. But, the studies that have been done all say that between 1,500 and 2,000 mg of maca extract must be consumed each day in order for it to produce any results. Using highly concentrated extracts is a way around this, but BioXgenic is not actually doing that. And once again, this is actually done correctly in TestoFuel which we actually recommend.
This means that it is almost guaranteed to be of no use in the BioXgenic 12 Hour X-Treme Testosterone Booster formula.
Saw Palmetto Extract - 289 MG
Saw palmetto extract is a supplement produced from the fruit of the serenoa palm.
It contains a mixture of fatty acids that have been linked to a wide range of health benefits, such as boosting testosterone, suppressing prostate growth, and treating existing prostate and urine flow issues in men.
However, while saw palmetto appears to have differing levels of efficacy when it comes to most of these benefits, it has been proven not to have any effect on your testosterone levels at all (3).
This makes it not only a useless ingredient in supplements like BioXgenic 12 Hour X-Treme Testosterone Booster, but it also brings both the manufacturer's research and, potentially, even their integrity into question.
Tribulus Terrestris Extract - 250 MG
The tribulus terrestris plant and its extracts have been used in ayurvedic medicine for centuries, due to claims that it can boost libido and sex drive in men, prevent erectile dysfunction, and support optimal heart health.
These benefits have, understandably, led to it becoming a very popular ingredient in testosterone boosters. The issue is, none of these claims have any scientific evidence to back them up (4). And the few studies that do show Tribulus treat a symptom of low test, libido, usually have it dosed at 750mg or above.
This, unfortunately, means that you simply can't count on it to provide any benefits in the BioXgenic 12 Hour X-Treme Testosterone Booster formula.
Olive Leaf Extract - 140 MG
Extracts from the leaves of the olive plant are rich in phenolics and proven to offer a range of health benefits. They can aid fat burning and weight loss, improve the health of your skin, reduce bad cholesterol, and regulate your blood lipid, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels (5).
This has led to it becoming an increasing popular ingredient in fat burners and other health and hormone boosting supplements.
The issue is that these benefits will only be seen if you consume between 500 and 1,000 mg of olive leaf extract each day. This means that the 140 mg present in each serving of BioXgenic 12 Hour X-Treme Testosterone Booster is simply too weak to be of any use.
Broccoli Powder - 140 MG
Broccoli powder is produced by dehydrating and grinding broccoli. It is rich in calcium, chromium, fiber, folate, magnesium, vitamin C, and vitamin K, and can benefit your overall health and wellbeing in a great number of ways (6).
However, while many of the compounds that broccoli contains can boost testosterone production, the quantities which are present in the powder are far too low to produce these effects.
That means the presence of broccoli powder in the BioXgenic 12 Hour X-Treme Testosterone Booster formula will not have the desired effect.
Safed Musli Extract - 100 MG
Safed musli is an adaptogenic herb that has been used in ayurvedic medicine for many years as it is a well known aphrodisiac. There have also been studies done on rats which show it can aid erectile function, boost fertility, and even increase testicle size in some cases (7).
However, when it comes to boosting testosterone production, there have been no human trials conducted or conclusive results produced that it actually does this.
Its presence in the BioXgenic 12 Hour X-Treme Testosterone Booster formula therefore simply can't be relied upon to produce the desired effect on your hormone levels.
Beta-Sitosterol - 60 MG
Beta sitosterol is a phytosterol that has a similar structure to cholesterol and is a precursor to an anabolic steroid called boldenone. It can commonly be found naturally in a wide range of fruits, nuts, seeds, and vegetables.
It is sometimes used in supplements, as it lowers your ldl cholesterol, reduces the size of a swollen prostate for those suffering from the medical condition benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and can be an effective treatment for its other symptoms.
There are also claims that it can combat heart disease, male pattern baldness, and rheumatoid arthritis. In recent times, studies have also been conducted on cattle, as there is a belief that it could have the potential to produce rapid muscle growth in a similar manner to boldenone.
The problem, aside from its effects on people with high cholesterol or benign prostatic hyperplasia, none of its other claimed benefits have ever been proven in men or women of any age (8).
This means that its presence in a supplement like BioXgenic 12 Hour X-Treme Testosterone Booster is highly unlikely to have the desired effect on the development of muscle mass or your physique.
Boron (As Boron Citrate) - 10 MG
Boron is a metal element and trace mineral that is known to benefit the human body in a great variety of ways and which can be particularly beneficial for men.
It is proven to boost testosterone levels and production, reduce inflammation and "bad" ldl cholesterol, and have a positive effect on your blood plasma, bone density, and brain functions.
With 10 mg being the optimal dosage of boron needed to boost test levels and production, this is another rare instance where BioXgenic 12 Hour X-Treme Testosterone Booster actually contains an effective dose of a useful ingredient (9). But, once again, this is in other better test boosters, and pretty much all of them that made our best list.
