Do bodybuilders take testosterone boosters?

medicinenet.com - Do Any Testosterone Boosters Really Work? - MedicineNet

Testosterone boosters are herbal supplements. Most often, bodybuilders will use these to help them gain more muscle mass. Testosterone boosters, or test boosters, claim to help boost testosterone, allowing men to experience the effects of testosterone on a greater scale. Many believe that testosterone boosters work to a certain degree. However, according to a study by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), it’s the zinc in these products that produce the testosterone boosting effects. A 2015 study by the US FDA found that there are no true quantifiable benefits of taking testosterone supplements. Besides, these supplements contain B vitamins and zinc, which naturally improve energy levels in men, while possibly improving the natural availability of testosterone in the blood. Many of the test boosters included magnesium aspartate and monomethionine aspartate or ZMA. These are known to optimize exercise performance as well as post-exercise recovery. Testosterone boosters are herbal supplements. Most often, bodybuilders will use these to help them gain more muscle mass. The advertisements might tell you that you can increase your testosterone levels by simply taking these over-the-counter pills, but researchers have found that most of these products don’t affect your testosterone levels at all. For the ones that do, the effects last less than a month.
