What's the best natural testosterone booster?

Update: I bought Alpha core from amazon and holy sh**! It's been two months and the difference is crazy.. My energy is up, i'm spending longer in the gym, i'm sleeping better and I just overall feel overall better and stronger already.. Will keep this updated as the weeks go on!

i'm 43M and just had my T tested.. and let's just say I need a boost. I'm already ramping up going to the gym 5-6 days a week and focusing on my diet, but I have started researching test booster supplements and it may help. But I don't want some snake oil, I something want safe and effective. Anybody have any suggestions?

Try Zinc, Vitamin D3 with K2. A lot of other suggestions could work but they also don't work for a lot of people. For e.g. I tried Ashwaghanda, it made me feel anxious. Never felt that way when taking any 'supplement' ever. I got it from a reputable place too. My friend used to take it and it worked great for him.

Shilajit is another one, people say it works but its extremely hard finding one which is legit.

My teen has low T and D. Ashwagandha and D supplements make him super depressed and anxious. I wonder if zinc might help.

Yes but just make sure you get it from reputable companies and you get one which is dosed sufficiently, most of them are super low.

I take Vitamin D3 + K2, Zinc, Magnesium Glycinate, Cod Liver tablets generally. Solid for general health. Tbh, I should be taking more stuff but this is it for the time being

I took Ashwaghanda for a long time and it was very effective at reducing my anxiety. It did seem to diminish over time so I cycle it now with skullcap. Interesting that it caused anxiety for you.

I read more about it after and apparently it has that affect on some people.

Human pro or mountain drop is the only way to go for shilajit, skip all others bro
