What is in Nugenix Total T?
The ingredients include a range of proven natural
testosterone boosters, two of the stand outs being Longjak and Boron. And whilst there's nothing wrong with these ingredients, we're missing far more effective ones. On the bright side these are both well known to regulate the body's natural estradiol and
testosterone production. We've got a more detailed breakdown of the ingredients below:
Boron: A trace mineral with multiple roles in testosterone production and a
healthy metabolism. It is essential for the growth and maintenance of bone
tissue, wound healing and vitamin D utilisation. Boron also helps to boost free testosterone levels, and
supplementing it can help raise free testosterone levels by nearly 25%[1]. This is because it binds to estradiol, which is a natural estrogenic hormone produced by the
body, but it does suppress testosterone production. You can reduce estradiol
production by up to half by taking supplemental boron. We did like that the dosage of 10mg does match with the amount used in clinical trials and even some of the best testosterone pills seem to come in a little under this. Unfortunately this is one of the few things Nugenix Total T actually gets right.
Eurycoma
Longifolia Extract (longjack): More commonly known as Tongkat Ali. It is
known for its aphrodisiac effects and how it can enhance male fertility,
improve spermatogenesis, and boosts testosterone production. Supplementing Tongkat Ali may boost male fertility and
improve body composition, so it is a valuable ingredient for enhancing your
results in the gym. Boosting your natural testosterone levels can help improve
sexual performance, increase muscle gain, and raise your energy levels. It's also often used as a herbal remedy
used in traditional Southeast Asian medicine for centuries to treat fevers,
bacterial infections, and erectile dysfunction.
L-Citrulline
Malate: The benefits of this ingredient is two-fold. It is known to
improve nitric oxide production in the body, increasing blood flow and
nutrient delivery to the muscles, and according to the International
Journal of Urology, it is effective in improving erectile function. However, it's not really the best amino acid to include in a test booster, typically we'd want to see L-Theanine or DAA's instead of L-Citrulline, which is the cheaper option and likely why nugenix chose this option.
Fenugreek: Fenugreek tends to make it into most of the best test boosters, it is one of the cheaper ingredients in them mind, but it's good to see it in nugenix total T.
Vitamin
B6: Vitamin B6 is involved in natural testosterone and steroid
utilisation. Those low in B6 can experience a reduced rate of testosterone
synthesis. B6 deficiency significantly reduces the circulating
concentration of testosterone in the body. However, if you already have enough B6, overlaoding isn't going to do much, and it's in most energy supplements and pre work outs. B6 also has a few tangental benefits for mood and energy improvement.
Zinc: In the US up to 40% of diets are deficient in zinc. A deficiency that is known to cause
hypogonadism in men. In zinc-deficient subjects, there is a decrease in
serum testosterone levels. In clinical tests, zinc supplementation played
a significant role in boosting serum testosterone levels. However, zinc has been shown not to increase test levels in people without a deficiency. It's a decent inclusion for Nugenix Total T and makes it into a lot of quality testosterone boosters.
All in all this formulation feels like it should belong in a product at half the price point, and our Nugenix Total T review isn't going to get much better.
Nugenix Total T Pros And Cons
The ingredients formulation isn't too bad on Nugenix Total T, but there are a few things that we don't like, mostly it's the dosages. The inclusion of boron in this
formulation is one of the biggest positives for the product, but many of the ingredients are simply not in high enough volumes to have the desired effect.
The science-based ingredients used in Nugenix Total T have
all been clinically studied. They may raise your libido, improve your sex
drive, and boost your performance levels and feeling of satisfaction.
If you are looking for supplementation that can help to
boost natural testosterone levels without resorting to taking anabolic steroids
to improve muscle gain, the formula used in this product may support muscle
building and strength gains.
On the downside, although Nugenix Total T does include zinc
in the formulation, in our opinion, it is highly underdosed. The product only
contains 1 mg per dose, but 11 mg per day is the recommended level. Unless you
are sourcing extra zinc from your diet, you may not be getting enough.
Your body doesn't store zinc, so you need to eat enough
zinc-rich foods every day to meet your daily requirements. Men need 11 mg of
zinc per day, so try to eat plenty of meat and seafood. Red meat is an
excellent source of zinc and can be found in ample amounts in beef, lamb and
pork.
A 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of raw beef mince contains
4.8 mg of zinc is 44% of the recommended daily value. Oysters, a well-known
aphrodisiac, has exceptionally high amounts, with six medium oysters providing
32 mg or 291% of the daily recommended amount.
Another issue we have with the formulation is that it
doesn't include other important testosterone boosting ingredients such as
vitamin D and magnesium, both of which are important in the production and
utilisation of testosterone, a lot of Nugenix Total T's best competitors do include this in the formulation.
It's also missing D-Aspartic Acid, an ingredient that makes it into most T boosters at even a slightly higher price point due to the amino acids efficacy. And lastly Ashwagandha is missing, this like DAA is probably slightly too expensive to include in Nugenix Total T. In the better testosterone boosters it tends to be included instead of longjack.
Nugenix Total T Review Conclusion
Nugenix Total T is marketed primarily as a testosterone
booster to help men improve their sexual performance and increase muscle growth. However, almost every testosterone booster at this price point does it better and an awful lot of customers Total T reviews seem to agree with our experience.
Ingredients such as boron are clinically proven to regulate
testosterone levels. And even though Nugenix Total T does get some of the ingredients right the recommended dosages are far too low.
For it's price point Nugenix Total T is an bad testosterone booster, it prices itself similarly to the likes of Testofuel, Prime Male and Testogen which are all infinitely better options. The Nugenix Total T formula looks like something from the mid 2000s before testosterone boosters were so well studied.
