Testosterone - Testoboost

Testosterone levels decline gradually as we age. Testosterone plays important roles in our metabolisms (helping control insulin levels, maintain muscle and lean body mass), heart health, and sex drive. The basis of the formula in TestoBoost, and in all the MD+ formulations, is to involve all possible pathways that lead to the desired effects, and to use multiple ingredients that work together to produce superior results. In the case of TestoBoost the desired effect was an increase in basal and elevated testosterone levels in the body, a decrease in counter productive elevations in cortisol, and a salutary effect on overall health, libido and sex drive. All of this can be accomplished by using ingredients that are known or suspected to boost testicular steroidogenesis, increase sexual desire and performance.

For example, using a variety of ingredients to effectively act as a testosterone sink by trapping testosterone production is the most effective way to increase endogenous androgen production. In order to do this you have to consider all the possible pathways that are involved in maximizing testosterone production, including:

• Increasing luteinizing hormone (LH) production.
• Increasing the effect of LH.
• Increasing testicular steroidogenesis directly.
• Decreasing inhibitors of steroidogenesis.
• Providing vitamins and minerals that might be frankly or marginally deficient and thus not allowing the full production of testosterone - e.g. magnesium, zinc, B6.
• Increasing peripheral formation of testosterone.
• Decreasing peripheral formation of dihydrotestosterone and estrogens or blocking their effects.

As well, other compounds that have been shown to have effects on sexual desire and performance can be used in the mix. On top of this TestoBoost contains bioperine, which significantly enhances the bioavailability of supplemented nutrients through increased absorption. The list of ingredients that could prove useful for increasing testosterone levels is long and includes various vitamins such as vitamin A, B6 and E, minerals such as zinc, magnesium, manganese, and other ingredients such as arginine, beta ecdysone boron, calcium-d-glucarate, catuaba bark, chasteberry (vitex agnus-castus), chrysin, co-enzyme q10 (ubiquinone), forskohlin, damiana, 5-methyl methoxy isoflavone, deer antler extract, eurycoma longifolia, genistein, GLA, glutathione, prickly pear extract, indole-3-carbinol, ipriflavone, maca root, muira puama, quercetin dihydrate, saw palmetto, schisandra chinensis, stinging nettle extract and tribulus terrestris.

Why TestoBoost is Better than Replacement therapy with Testosterone or Anabolic Steroids Prohormones

Using testosterone and/or anabolic steroids to increase your levels of androgens in your body is also the wrong way to approach the problem of low systemic testosterone levels. For example, use of exogenous testosterone shuts down the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis (HPTA) that controls testosterone production on the body.

Instead of helping stimulate testosterone production, the use of testosterone and anabolic steroids decreases the natural production of testosterone and basically shuts down your internal machinery for making testosterone. Once you go off the replacement therapy, your testosterone levels often end up lower than before you started taking the exogenous androgens. In some cases testosterone levels never even come close to recovering the pre androgen use levels, and the only alternative, if the system can’t be “kick started” to produce testosterone, is to go back on replacement therapy with testosterone or anabolic steroids.

On the other hand, endogenous (developed within the body) hormone production avoids many of the problems associated with exogenous hormone use. By promoting the natural production of the hormone within the body, the regular feedback mechanisms are not by-passed and do not lead to many of the side effects associated with exogenous hormone use.

In fact the use of TestoBoost and other methods to increase endogenous testosterone production ramps up your natural testosterone producing machinery so that even if you stop taking it, your natural levels will be at least as high as before you started, and sometime higher as the body recognizes the higher level as normal and maintains that level naturally.
