This totals 165 ratings rounding off at a score of 9.00. let’s take a look at the active ingredients
GlycoCarn®
- This is comprised of Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine Hydrochloride.
- Studies done by The University Of Memphis, GlycoCarn provides the following:
- Provides antioxidant function to decrease the potentially harmful effects of free radicals.
- Enhances nitric oxide production which may allow for improved blood flow.
- Improves blood triglyceride values which may be related to enhanced fatty acid metabolism
TestoSurge™
- This comprises of Fenugreek Extract, Trigonella Foenum Graecum, Maca Extract 4:1 and Indole-3 Carbinol.
- A study published in BIOmed Central concluded the following:
- “It is concluded that 500 mg of daily TESTOSURGE supplementation significantly impacted body fat percentage, total testosterone and bioavailable testosterone when compared to a placebo in a double-blind fashion.”
- Studies that Athletic Edge Performance cites, claim to provide a 376% increase of testosterone in just 12 hours after a 600 mg dose.
- 284% of this was in the form of bioavailable testosterone.
EuryGold™
- This is comprised of Eurycoma Longifolia, Black Pepper Extract, and Piper Nigrum.
- British Journal of Sports Medicine reported that, “In a double-blind placebo controlled scientific trial, the use of tongkat ali extract (Eurycoma Longifolia) caused a 5 % increase in lean body mass in the treatment group in just 5 weeks, while no significant changes were observed in the placebo group.”
- As for Bioperine (black pepper extract), studies have shown that, “Gastrointestinal absorption of all the studied nutrients, as measured by amounts present in the blood, increased dramatically when administered with BioPerine® as compared to the control group receiving the nutrients alone. Selenium levels increased by 30%, beta-carotene increased by 60%, and the vitamin B6 increase was slightly higher than beta-carotene.
- This suggests it may help to absorb the eurycoma longifolia
- When it comes to Piper Nigrum, this is standardized to 95% peperine.
- A study published on PubMed.gov showed that, “Piperine supplementation also improved the plasma levels of apo A-I, T3, T4, testosterone, and significantly reduced apo B, TSH, and insulin to near normal levels.”
Final Verdict
Both the science and the social proofs leads one to believe that APE is indeed a very effective testosterone booster. The user can expect:
- Increased strength and endurance
- Reduced body fat
- Increased lean muscle mass
However, the draw backs to consider here are:
- Some find it takes a while to kick in
