Boron 10mg – Boron is a good ingredient, 10mg is also the ideal dosage. The first boron study that linked it to testosterone was all the way back in 1980. That revealed that boron supplementation significantly increased testosterone levels in men after just one week. This finding challenged the notion that boron and testosterone were merely correlated and not causally linked. It was discovered that boron breaks down sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG), a protein that binds testosterone in the body. By liberating testosterone from SHBG, boron effectively boosts free testosterone levels. Further studies confirmed the findings over the last 40 years or so. This is a great start for N Test 600 Advanced. [4]
Testofen 600mg – This is basically a patented fenugreek extract, and there actually isn’t really anything all that special apart from the name. A lot of test boosters use a standardized extract to 50% fenucides (there are more in some other extracts. The one thing that testofen has going for it is that there has been a couple of studies on it specifically that have shown to support healthy free testosterone levels. While the dosage of 600mg may seem high, studies have suggested that even lower doses can yield positive results. [1,5]
Tribulus complex 350mg – This is just a fancy way of claiming that they’re doing something special, ultimately it’s just a standardized Tribulus extract. Now, Tribulus does have a fair bit of research linking it to raising testosterone levels, but then there’s equally as much that goes against it these days. The dosing is fine, but it’s definitely not one of the more universal test booster ingredients, and usually it only appears in budget supplements these days. We don’t expect it from a premium option like N-Test 600 Advanced. Perhaps 10 years ago, this would’ve been considered a good ingredient as Tribulus originally looked very promising. However, now it just makes N-Test 600 look dated. [2,6]
Smilax officinalis 150mg – There’s almost no evidence at all that smilax actually works, there’s a couple of rat studies and that’s about it, this is where everything starts to go a bit wrong for N test 600.
Black maca 100mg – Maca doesn’t actually do anything to raise testosterone, what it does do however is raise libido. There’s quite a few studies to back this, but it should be noted that the dose is normally 200mg. [7]
DIM 100mg – PMD N-Test 600 Advanced contains Diindolylmethane (DIM), an ingredient that supports estrogen metabolism. By helping to suppress estrogen levels, this supplement may enhance the effects of testosterone and improve muscle-building capabilities. However, it's important to note that the overall effectiveness of DIM in increasing testosterone levels requires further research. There are also issues with long term DIM use potentially making estrogen levels higher. [3,8]
S7 50mg – This blend of coffee bean, tea, turmeric, tart cherry, kale, blueberry and broccoli isn’t going to do anything at all. Not one of these ingredients is effective in such a low dosage, turmeric needs about 12 grams unless it’s a curcumin extract and even then it’s 500mg. As you can gather this is just something for N Test 600 to put on the box rather than actually doing anything at all.
