AlphaTest
With a company name like MuscleTech, you can’t go wrong. Or can you? MuscleTech has come out with a brand new testosterone supplement called AlphaTest. It is designed to utilize ingredients that have been clinically tested on humans, because after all, humans are the ones using it.
AlphaTest argues that their competitors use ingredients that haven’t been sufficiently tested or have only been tested on animals. According to the makers of AlphaTest, they made sure to only include ingredients that have been tested and proven to be effective on humans. Let’s see what those ingredients are.
Ingredient List
AlphaTest discloses all of their ingredients, which is something not all supplements can say. This is a good sign because it shows they are confident in their product. The four main active ingredients utilized in AlphaTest are:
• Mytosterone
• Rhodiola and Ginkgo blend
• Boron Citrate
• Zinc Gluconate
Clinical Testing
We were able to do some digging and found the tests that were done on each of these ingredients. MuscleTech claims these ingredients have been individually tested on humans and we agree. However, the results of each test expose a little more.
Testing done on Mytosterone involved a group of males, ages 37 to 70. While the results were positive, meaning testosterone levels increased, it is hard to determine the ingredient’s true effectiveness among younger users. Testosterone levels decrease with age, so Mytosterone, when given to older males, will show stronger results. So while there was testing done on Mytosterone, the results aren’t as telling as you would initially think.
Similar to Mytosterone, a Rhodiola Crenulata and Ginkgo Biloba blend was tested on a certain age group; this one being between 18 and 22. The results did show a maintained level of testosterone levels during workout with an increase level of oxygen consumption, but again, because the age span is so limited it is hard to determine the true effectiveness of this blend among all users.
A 2011 study was done on Boron Citrate showing an increase in free testosterone levels. The sample size is relatively small at only eight volunteers in a one-week window with just three samples taken per person. Still, the results of the test are convincing enough for us. This ingredient seems to work.
Zinc has been tested and used for numerous reasons. It wasn’t until 1996 thought that formal testing was done showing relation to testosterone levels. Still, the results are not 100% clear and say that zinc may play a role in building testosterone.
Conclusion
While there have been tests done on these major acting ingredients, it isn’t 100% certain that they are effective. Still, we think that if you are going to take testosterone supplements, AlphaTest shows enough promise and may just be worth trying.
