The most commonly asked questions we came across when researching our nugenix reviews
Yes and no, Nugenix Total T does have enough effective ingredients that it will work for a lot of people in terms of improving testosterone production. The catch is as we said in the intro that their are a lot of better testosterone boosters available. As for their claims around sexual health, we'd say they're actually quite poorly dosed for this and there are a lot of better ingredients available. Maca just being one example that we pretty much expect to see in any libido boosting product.
With Nugenix main ingredients being Fenugreek Extract and L-Citrulline you're very unlikely to experience any side effects. L-Citrulline has no known side effects although it can effect the way some other drugs will work, so it is recommended that you shouldn't take it if you are taking nitrates for heart disease. As for Fenugreek taking too much can result in a drop in blood sugar or nausea, but this is relatively rare and shouldn't occur if you take nugenix total t with meals.
We rate Nugenix Total T against other popular testosterone supplements
B Vitamins - Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 are directly linked to energy levels and testosterone levels, however, in terms of boosting testosterone production they don't do much unless you have a deficiency, they're often included in testosterone supplements which are focused on building muscle mass, but they're not an essential ingredient as very few people actually have this deficiency.
Fenugreek - Fenugreek is another good ingredient, it's reasonably well backed by studies, it's safe and has been shown to be effective at 400mg, and 500mg doses.[1] Nugenix Total T has a dosage of 600mg, so this is a little bit more than may be needed, but again this is a good inclusion.
Eurycoma Longifolia Extract (longjack or tongkat ali) - usually dosed at around 600mg Nugenix just don't put enough Tongkat Ali in to be effective. 100mg simply isn't enough. Which is a shame as it's a pretty good ingredient. Again, not one of the very best, but still would've been beneficial. [2]
Ancient Peat Extract: This one is really just here to sound good, there's not really much in terms of benefit to testosterone production here.
Zinc - Even minor zinc deficiency can cause a substantial drop in testosterone levels, leading to a decrease in lean muscle mass, weight gain, deflated mood and other low testosterone symptoms. It's a relatively common deficiency amongst men in the USA and as a result is in a lot of testosterone booster supplements. This is a good choice for Nugenix Total T testosterone booster. [3]
Boron - So Boron is actually a pretty good ingredient for a testosterone booster, and it's in most of the competitor products on our best list, unfortunately for Nugenix Total T, however, it's in all of the better testosterone supplements as well so it's nothing special, in fact it's to be expected. It's a relatively cheap inclusion and only takes up 10mg of capsule space to be ideally dosed (which nugenix total t also get's right). Boron has been shown in multiple studies to increase test production as well as helping with vitamin d absorption, and vitamin D can help to improve testosterone in it's own right.
L-Citrulline Malate - L Citrulline malate has no impact on testosterone levels, it has been shown to assist with erectile dysfunction in that study participants showed improved blood flow [4], however, there are better ingredients for this such as maca. It's not really ideal for a testosterone booster, although would be a good additional ingredient in a supplement designed for erectile dysfunction.
