Best Natural Testosterone Boosters – What Are They?
Straight up, when we refer to testosterone booster supplements we are not talking about prohormones or steroids (If you don’t know the difference, we’ve written about it here.)
Testosterone boosters (sometimes called T boosters or hormonal support products) contain mainly herbal and naturally occurring mineral ingredients which are designed to increase your testosterone levels naturally.
This differs from prohormone supplements in that these convert to ‘Test’ in the body or are synthetic forms of testosterone and other anabolic hormones (also known as ‘Designer Steroids’).
Test boosters are relatively easy to buy and have fewer restrictions than prohormones. You could use these products as part of a cycle support or post cycle therapy or on their own.
I’ve used these products for several years with varying success. Some work reasonbly well, others no so much. So here are my top pick of the testosterone booster bunch.

The Best Testosterone Boosters
Here are my top picks:
Anabolic Designs (AD) BullK
I’ve used this one more that one occasion with good results. It contains Bulbine natalensis which is traditionally believed to have medicinal properties including increased sex drive.
I’ve used Bulbine-based products on a few occasions and find a noticeable increase in libido and also a degree of muscle hardening.
You can buy AD BullK here (Amazon)
D Aspartic Acid (or DAA)
(You can buy DAA in bulk on Amazon)
DAA is a naturally occuring amino acid which has been shown to significantly increase testosterone in scientific trials.
I’ve had good success with using DAA, again seeing a slight hardening of the muscles (consistent with increased testosterone) and also being able to maintain a ‘stiffy’ for longer – difficult to put a price on that!
Best to buy in bulk as it’s cheaper. It can taste quite bitter so I like to mix with a little sugar free cordial. I would also double the recommended dose but you shouldn’t follow my example – I’m just telling you what I did
Buy DAA here.
ZMA Capsules
ZMA or Zinc Magnesium Aspartate is one of the most widely available hormone support supplements. It’s pretty much legal everywhere and seems to have wide ranging success.
I’ve taken ZMA to improve recovery during hard training. Men who take it regularly claim that it gives them better sleep, better recovery and even more ejaculate (!).
I’ve only experienced the better recovery but I sleep well anyway. A lot of men are deficient in Zinc and Magnesium and so may see significant benefits from this supplement.
ZMA is best taken on an empty stomach before bed. Buy it here (Amazon)
Tribulus Terrestris
This sounds like a computer game from the 1980’s. But it’s not. It’s a weed that grows prolifically in North America and traditionally believed to increase testosterone.
I’ve had mixed results with this and age seems to be a factor as well as dosage. I took it once when I was a bit younger and had no effect. A few years later I took it at a much higher dose (3 x what was recommended on the packaging) and noticed the hardening effect on my muscles and better pumps – both of these things are signs of elevated testosterone.
Tribulus (sometimes called ‘Trib’) isn’t legal everywhere so check before you buy. Also beware of the Trib-burps. It will taste bitter and herby in your throat.
If that hasn’t put you off, you can buy it here.
The Best Natural Testosterone Boosters
So that’s my round up of the best natural testosterone boosters. I’ve had good success through trying different products and ingredients. From experience, I’ve had to take higher than the recommended dosage to notice any signs of elevated testosterone. But you shouldn’t do that – you should follow the dosages on the bottle.
Remember: Always check the laws of your country – not everything is legal everywhere. Not one word of this article is legal or medical advice.
