Make sure you get the right testosterone supplement for you.
Check Best List Tribulus Fruit Extract - 500 mg
Tribulus fruit extract comes from the fruit of the tribulus terrestris plant and has been used in ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Among its claimed benefits are an ability to boost libido and sex drive in men, prevent issues like erectile dysfunction, and improve heart health.
These benefits have led to tribulus extract becoming an extremely popular ingredient in testosterone boosters. Unfortunately, there is now more evidence against tribulus than there is hard evidence to suggest that tribulus extract has any effect on your natural testosterone levels (1).
With it being the 2nd most abundant ingredient in Old School Vintage Boost at 500 mg, there is no proof it is doing anything but taking up space in the capsules and making the product ineffective.
Maca Root Powder - 450 mg
Maca root powder can be sourced from two plants, wild growing maca and cultivated maca. It has long been used in traditional medicine due to claims it can improve libido, sexual function, and mood, while reducing anxiety, depression, and the symptoms of menopause (2).
Unfortunately, very little study has been done on it and there is no conclusive evidence to support any of these claims. Worse still is the fact that what study has been done suggests 1,500 to 3,000 mg of maca root must be consumed each day to produce the desired results.
This means, with Vintage Boost containing just 450 mg of maca root powder per serving, it is unlikely to be of use even if it is a testosterone booster.
PrimaVie Shilajit Extract - 50 mg
PrimaVie Shilajit Extract is a patented form of a mineral rich resin extracted from Himalayan rocks. It contains a potent dose of fulvic acid and this has led to beliefs that it enhances your overall health, supports maximal strength in muscles, and slows the signs of aging.
However, while these claims mean it has been used in ayurvedic medicine for decades, there is very little clinical evidence that it can actually boost testosterone levels.
Worse still, even the studies that support its use for boosting natural testosterone production say 250 mg of fulvic acid must be taken per day to be effective (3). This means the 50 mg of shilajit extract present in Old School Vintage Boost is all but guaranteed to be of no use at all.
D-Aspartic Acid - 3,000 mg
D- aspartic acid is a derivative of the amino acid aspartic acid, which controls natural testosterone synthesis and male fertility. It is commonly used as a natural testosterone booster supplement and as a treatment for male infertility.
The 3,000 mg of d-aspartic acid per dose in the Old School Vintage Boost testosterone booster supplement is at the upper limit of the safe but effective daily range of 2,000 to 3,000 mg (4). This means, while it will be of use for a lot of people, many others will find it too strong. The issue here is that you'd probably have to take a half dose to start with and then scale up to avoid stomach upset.
The real problem though, is that d-aspartic acid only works for seven to ten days at a time. With Vintage Boost directing users to take it for 4 weeks at a time, the d-aspartic acid will be doing nothing for most of the time you are using the supplement.
Vitamin D - 50 mcg
Vitamin d itself isn't a testosterone booster, but a vitamin d deficiency can impair your natural production of testosterone (5). Therefore, taking vitamin d3 is a great way to keep both your natural testosterone production and testosterone levels as high as possible.
The issue is that for vitamin d3 to have any effect on your testosterone levels, between 4,000 and 5,000 mcg must be taken each day. As Vintage Boost features just 50 mcg in each serving, it will not have any effect.
Vitamin B6 - 5 mg
Vitamin B6 consists of 6 compounds and controls over 140 coenzyme reactions in the body. It controls the metabolism of amino acids, fats, and sugars, keeps the immune system healthy and functioning, and ensures neurotransmitters are produced in the central brain region.
Recent studies have also shown that it prevents the synthesis of oestrogen, preventing natural hormones from being suppressed and helping testosterone levels naturally rise (6). These benefits can all be seen when up to 1.3 mg of vitamin b6 are consumed each day.
Unfortunately, the Old School Vintage Boost testosterone booster contains 5 mg of vitamin b6 in every dose. With this being almost 4 times the maximum safe dose, it is far too strong and puts the health of users at great risk.
Magnesium Citrate - 100 mg
Magnesium has the ability to enhance the body's self regulating hormonal processes, allowing it to function as a natural testosterone booster. For this effect to be seen though, between 250 and 350 mg of magnesium must be consumed each day (7).
Unfortunately, Vintage Boost contains just 100 mg of magnesium in every serving. This means it is unlikely to produce a noticeable boost in testosterone levels, if it has any effect at all.
Zinc Citrate - 10 mg
Zinc is an essential mineral that is proven to offer benefits like promoting DNA synthesis and natural testosterone production, boosting metabolism, recovery, brain function, and vision, reducing inflammation and aging, enhancing immune functions, and fighting viruses (8).
It works as a testosterone booster as it encourages the pituitary gland to produce luteinizing hormone, which is essential for testosterone production.
Unfortunately, for this to occur, at least 15mg of zinc must be consumed each day. With Vintage Boost containing just 10 mg of zinc per serving, it simply isn't strong enough to have the desired effect.
