Ingredients Label
Active Ingredients
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin which is associated with several health benefits.
It’s been shown to have positive effects on testosterone levels in men when taken daily, over a long period of time (1).
Zinc
Zinc deficiency is very common in the modern diet, and is depleted very quickly in athletes through sweating.
Supplementing with zinc has been shown to increase testosterone in such people, but may not be effective in those without a deficiency (2).
Fenugreek
Fenugreek is a plant which has been shown to increase libido.
Some of the research to date has demonstrated improvements to testosterone levels, but other studies have noted no change (3, 4).
The effective dose is about 500mg.
Tribulus Terrestris
Tribulus Terrestris is another libido-increasing plant.
It doesn’t appear to improve testosterone levels reliably unless the user has abnormally low levels (5, 6).
Maca
Maca is a vegetable with history as an aphrodisiac.
Although it can increase sex drive, the research says it doesn’t have any notable effects on testosterone levels (7).
The standard dose for is 1,500-3,000mg.
Epimedium
Epimedium, is the scientific name for a herb more commonly known as “horny goat weed”.
Although it’s only been studied in animals, it shows some promise for both libido and testosterone enhancement.
More human studies are required.
DIM
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a compound that’s found in vegetables like broccoli.
It’s been demonstrated to have anti-oestrogen properties, which can increase levels of free testosterone (8).
Who Takes It?
Older male athletes and/or those with abnormally low testosterone levels are most likely to benefit from using Super Male T.
How to Take
Take 1 serving (3 capsules) daily, with food.
Side Effects
The ingredients in Super Male T may increase sex drive and alter your general mood.
Fenugreek may give a maple syrup-like odour to your sweat.
Pros
- Uses a multi-pronged approach to improve testosterone levels
- Black pepper extract to improve ingredient absorption.
Cons
- Expensive
- Proprietary blend hides doses of ingredients
- Most ingredients are likely under-dosed.
Conclusion
Super Male T at face value appears to be a solid test-boosting product, but Performix once again falls short here on ingredient doses.
Although it contains a whole range of potentially effective ingredients, most of these are hidden in a very small proprietary blend, which couldn’t feasibly provide effective doses.
The doses of the vitamin and mineral components are decent, but the price tag is unwarranted for an otherwise poorly-dosed supplement.
Your money would be better spent on an open-label formula.
