Ingredients Label
Active Ingredients
Tribulus Terrestris
The Tribulus Terrestris plant is commonly used for libido enhancement.
Due to its effectiveness for libido, it’s widely believed to increase levels of testosterone.
Research has failed to prove this (1), but there could be small increases in testosterone for infertile males (2).
Protodioscin is one of the effective compounds in Tribulus, and is added in extra amounts to this formula.
Arginine HCl
Arginine is an amino acid that increases Nitric Oxide production, but it is most likely included here to increase growth hormone levels.
It has shown mixed mixed results for this, and the dose used in studies is 100 times the amount provided in Elemental Massive Muscle Fuel (3, 4).
Methoxy-7-Isoflavone
Methoxy-7-Isoflavone is a compound believed to be anabolic, but little research has been done on it.
One study found no significant effects on athletic performance or levels of testosterone (5).
Bulbine Extract
Bulbine Natalensis is a herb found in Africa. It is traditionally used as an aphrodisiac.
Studies done in rats have been promising for increases in testosterone, but it could be harmful to the kidneys and liver (6).
Daidzein
Daidzein is a bioflavonoid compound found in soy.
It appears to mimic oestrogen, but is weaker than oestrogen itself. In theory this could limit the function of actual oestrogen in the body, acting as a sort of oestrogen blocker (7).
Saw Palmetto
Saw Palmetto is a small-sized palm.
Its extract contains compounds that may stop testosterone being used up to make DHT, but studies have not supported this (8).
ZMA
ZMA is the name given to the combination of Zinc, Magnesium, and Vitamin B6. These are commonly taken together for improving testosterone and recovery.
Zinc has been shown to increase testosterone levels in those with Zinc deficiencies (9), while Magnesium can increase sleep quality (10), which is linked to higher testosterone levels (11).
Vitamin B6 is included to increase the absorption of Zinc (12).
Who Takes It?
Athletes who want to boost their testosterone levels may benefit from Elemental Massive Muscle Fuel. It would be most effective for older males, or those with low testosterone levels.
How to Take
Consume 10mL daily, 30 minutes before food or exercise.
After 8 weeks of supplementation, take 2 weeks off before using Elemental Massive Muscle Fuel again.
Side Effects
Methoxy-7-Isoflavone might return false positives in tests for cannabis use.
Bulbine Extract can cause liver and kidney damage.
Increases in libido are common with test-boosting ingredients, as well as changes in mood and/or mood swings.
Pros
- A huge range of test-boosting ingredients are used.
Cons
- Some ingredients are dosed way too low, and some might not even be effective
- The taste isn’t very appealing.
Conclusion
Elemental Massive Muscle Fuel is a test-booster that covers all bases by using a wide range of ingredients.
Although some are dosed poorly and others may not be effective, some of the ingredients will successfully increase testosterone levels.
Despite the unfavourable taste, it may be worth a try if you have low testosterone or want to improve your testosterone levels naturally. There are better products though.
