Sorry for the long delay in between posts, work as well as getting ready for school has kept me busy!
This blog comes in relation to a question I get all the time.."If you aren't on steroids, what are you on?" This blog will be focused around getting to the summer body goal we want by giving our bodies the testosterone it needs naturally. These are just a few supplements and types of natural test boosters I have tried and tested over the years. Remember I am merely recommending the best supplements and diet tricks I have found, so feel free to try any one after talking to your doctor about them!
NOTE: Anyone who is under 18 shouldn't need any of the first 3 supplements. You have plenty of testosterone already and playing with those levels can affect your growth into adulthood.

The complete stack list:
DAA (free fatty acid)
CLA (free fatty acid) - women friendly
Maca Root or Tribulus - women friendly
Fish oils /Omegas - women friendly
Vitamin D - women friendly
Brazil nuts - women friendly
Glutamine - women friendly
Milk Thistle - women friendly
*Estrogen blocker (A-HD)
Now let's talk more about what each one.
DAA- Before we start, your body loves testosterone for building our bodies, but it is also a human hormone. When your body increases it's test levels, it will also increase it's estrogen levels to keep a balance. This estrogen can cause a problem long term, and I generally recommend anyone who does take the compound DAA to take an estrogen blocker if you want to be safer with it. Any testosterone supplements should also be cycled (for example 4 weeks on 2 weeks off) to ensure your hormonal levels stay safe and recover properly. Testosterone will help you gain muscle, but we need to remember it has to be monitored so that it stays safe. Now, DAA is one I have mentioned before and is in my mind one of the best natural testosterone boosters on the market. It is a naturally occurring free fatty acid ( a fuel source and building block our body's use) but it rarely occurs in high concentrations. DAA should be the only compound that should need an estrogen blocker. My favorite blocker on the market being a product called A-HD.
CLA- CLA is a great compound that helps us decrease some fat while adding lean muscle. CLA is an essential free fatty acid, and helps boost your immune system, your metabolic rate (metabolism) and helps keep your cholesterol in check. It is closely related to omega 6's and is the healthiest fat burner I have come across
Maca Root and Tribulus- I group these two together because I believe you really only need one of them. Feel free to take both, but we have plenty already to help boost our test levels when we combine them with others. Both are naturally accuring plants in nature, and both aid in the general libido (friskiness) of men and will raise test levels naturally. Maca root can be purchased almost anywhere in pill form however I do recommend for the tribulus the Allmax brand as it gave me more significant results. If you are looking for quick size results add with one of these a monocreatine powder.
Fish/Oils and Omega 3s and 6s- Healthy fats are ESSENTIAL for testosterone production. These work especially at night, and I find make me feel all around better if also taken in the morning. Fish oils not only help our joints feel great but they are great sources of healthy fat. This healthy fat when taken at night with vitamin D, will be turned into testosterone while you sleep. The reason I recommend at night is because most of your testosterone production will be done at night. Note: healthy cholesterol, vitamin D and testosterone can all be created in the body. If you give your body lots of vitamin D and healthy cholesterols/fats, it will spend most of it's time creating testosterone. NOTE: There are some brands that combine vitamin D and fish oils, I highly recommend these!
Vitamin D- Vitamin D is great to help your body function properly when it comes to creating testosterone. It also has so many other positive traits, but for now we are focusing on it's affects on testosterone.
Brazil Nuts- Now these can be purchased in many bulk food stores, and are awesome snacks before bed. Having just 6 brazil nuts before bed can have a dramatic affect on the amount of testosterone you produce over night. It is a healthy dose of omega 3s and 6s and can replace in some situations the fish oils at night. I would still however recommend at least having fish oils in the morning.
Glutamine- Glutamine is a BCAA (branched chain amino acid) and is essential for muscle recovery. Muscle recovery needs to take place, to help testosterone aid in the building of more muscles. If we recover faster, we can trainer more, and glutamine gives us that chance. Regardless of person, I always recommend glutamine, it is the bricks for your brick house muscles. Even your grandma should have them!
Milk Thistle- Milk thistle is cheap, and it helps keep your liver running in tip top shape. Supplements and vitamins can be a lot for your liver to break down everyday, why not give it the tools it needs to recover as well. After all, it isn't just about looking good, it is about also being healthy!
Lastly, eat meat! Eating meat will always help boost testosterone, and avoid soy. Soy has been shown to increase estrogen levels!
Hope that helps us BOOST OUR TEST NATURALLY and get into that summer shape we always aim for!

It should also be noted that you do also need a healthy diet and proper workouts, simply boosting test levels alone will not just "make you jacked"
