We answer some of the most commonly asked questions about Maxx.
Aside from the rather random inclusion of white button mushroom extract, these ingredients are all pretty good. Every one is supported by studies, and the dosages aren't too far off what we'd like to see. Nugenix Maxx is getting dangerously close to the brand actually producing a good testosterone booster supplement.
Vit D 2000mg - Vit D is a mainstay in most testosterone boosters, almost half of men[1] in the USA are deficient, and supplementing Vitamin D has been shown to increase free testosterone levels and improve athletic performance even in people who are not deficient[2].
Zinc 15mg - Zinc only really applies to people who are deficient[3], but as a deficiency can cause low testosterone, including this is a common place catch all. However, if your zinc levels are healthy, this shouldn't really do much. However, if you're following a restrictive diet, then it's a beneficial addition to Nugenix Maxx.
Fenugreek 600mg - The dosage here is good, and multiple studies have demonstrated Fenugreeks efficacy in raising testosterone levels[4].
Ashwagandha 600mg - Nugenix Maxx got the dosage of Ashwagandha correct[5], a lot of supplements don't so credit where it's due here. Not only has it been shown to improve free testosterone levels, but it also helps improve mood regulation, sleep and even has some nootropic benefits.
Maca 150mg - Another decent ingredient that's pretty solid, however, the dosage is a little lower than we'd like, especially if it's being utilised for it's efficacy for it's sexual health benefits[6].
Ginseng 140mg - Ginseng has been shown to be effective at raising test levels even at lower dosages (75mg) and as a result we see it in a lot of test booster products[7] another good choice from Nugenix Maxx.
Ginger 90mg - A decent ingredient, although with relatively mild testosterone boosting effects, it does however promote healthy blood flow and has some usage when it comes to improving male performance.
Mushroom Extract 10mg - Honestly, there's no real reason for this to be here.
Bioperine 5mg - A standard ingredient in testosterone boosters. All in all it's not bad, but we'd have liked to have seen DAA's, vitamin K, some B vitamins for performance and to drop the useless mushroom extract.
Make sure you get the right testosterone supplement for you.
