Test Freak Overview

Test Freak is Testosterone Support supplement manufactured by PharmaFreak, who say that it can promote muscle growth and strength.

Its formula is housed in “hybrid capsules” and contains 3 “proprietary complexes” which themselves contain the active ingredients. The label states the total quantity of each ‘proprietary complex” but not the quantities of the individual ingredients.

We found Test Freak to be somewhat lacking in actual testosterone boosting substance. There are some common enough ingredients found in most test boosters (e.g. tribulus, fenugreek, saw palmetto etc.) but they have only really been shown to increase sex drive and possibly sexual health.

Then there are the lesser known ingredients (apigenin and hesperidin) which need more scientific studies before we know what dosage is okay to use.

All in all, the zinc at 30mg might be the most useful ingredient in the whole formula.

Test Freak – Advertised Benefits

Pharma Freak, the company that makes the product, say that it has some unique advantages over other products in the same category:

• Clinically Researched Ingredients
• 1100mg of Fenugreek per serving
• 1000mg of Tribulus Terrestris per serving
• Dose of Zinc is clinically researched
• Contains Saw Palmetto and Stinging Nettle
• Contains Hesperidin, Resveratrol and Apigenin

So…not much uniqueness there, to be honest. Maybe the last point, we don’t see hesperidin, apigenin and resveratrol in many testosterone supplements, but that’s mostly because they haven’t been researched much for impact on testosterone levels.

Why do they call them Hybrid Capsules? – because they contain vitamins and minerals, which apparently makes them “hybrid”. Yeah – sounds fancy…but isn’t.

Ingredients

As mentioned earlier, the ingredients are included in 3 “Proprietary Complexes”. Their total weight is on the label but not the weight of the individual ingredients they are made up of.

The following formula and quantities are in a serving size of 4 capsules. That is also the total daily serving.

Proprietary Complex 1 – [2.1g]

• Trigotest (™) Fenugreek
• Tribulus Terrestris Fruit

Proprietary Complex 2 – [280mg]

• Saw Plametto Extract
• Stinging Nettle

Proprietary Complex 3 – [150mg]

• Hesperidin
• Apigenin
• Resveratrol

Note: there is also:

• Zinc – [30mg]
• Vitamin B6 – [10.5mg]
• Magnesium – [90mg]

Trigotest is Fenugreek, which is the main ingredient of Test Freak alongside Tribulus Terrestris. It should be noted here that neither of these ingredients are effective at boosting testosterone levels, and probably shouldn’t be the cornerstone of a testosterone booster.

Tribulus Terrestris shows promise in rat and test tube studies but only increases libido in humans.

Fenugreek technically boosts testosterone but it inhibits DHT which is actually more powerful than testosterone (and the cause of potential issues ranging from baldness to prostate cancer risk). So it might be better for health, which we definitely support, but it is possibly more limiting for muscle building than simply not taking it.

Saw Palmetto and Stinging Nettle have similar stories. Both being less potent for testosterone than initial studies suggested.

Ironically, the Zinc in this formula is likely its most effective ingredient for optimizing T levels.

Side Effects

Average men with no health issues should be fine taking Test Freak. We advise women, especial pregnant and breastfeeding women, to avoid it. People under 18 years old should not take it either.

If you have a medical condition or are currently taking prescription medication please consult your doctor before using a product like this.

There are 4 pills per serving so in order to assess your tolerance, you could take 2, or even 1 the first time.

Conclusions and Recommendations

Pharma Freak are a big name in sports nutrition, so they probably sell a lot of Test Freak. Unfortunately, for the customers, it won’t do much for them.

Ingredients are everything, and the dosages are just as important.

Test Freak is marketed quite heavily on having the strongest inclusions of Fenugreek and Tribulus Terrestris, but as studied as they have been, they are yet to show much in the way of testosterone boosting in human subjects.

Suffice to say, we believe there are better products for anyone looking to boost testosterone for muscle building and/or health reasons.
