If you’re sick of the current state of the testosterone boosting supplement market, you’re not alone. Steroids are illegal and many natural extracts just aren’t cutting it. This has left many bodybuilders frustrated and with a lack of options when it comes to raising levels of testosterone. This is why companies are developing new products all the time. One new supplement we’ve seen that is pushing the envelope in this field is a product called TestForce 2. Like other t-boosters, this supplement aims to naturally increase the body’s production of anabolic hormones to help you stack on more muscle, improve performance, and achieve better body composition. Let’s see if it has the ingredients to pass the test.

Ingredients

The main compounds found in this supplement are D-aspartic acid (DAA) and sarcosine. These ingredients are becoming more and more prevalent but they still have a long way to go before they become as popular and as widely used as tribulus terrestris or eurycoma longifolia. They do show some early promise though due to the initial clinical research to be conducted on them.

In the Journal of the Federatoin of American Societies for Experimental Biology, researchers found that DAA and sarcosine could have a notable effect on rats. Observers recorded that injections of these ingredients were able to help rats release more luteinizing hormone, an anabolic precursor that signals the production of more testosterone in the testes. Data also indicated that the pituitary released additional amounts of growth hormone as well.

Conclusion

With the results mentioned above, it is small wonder why supplement companies would want to include these ingredients. However, despite success in rat studies, compounds like these don’t always work the same in humans. Currently there are very few clinical studies that indicate a human can experience the same benefits. Thus there is no scientific consensus on how effective sacrosine and DAA actually are for bodybuilders. Until more research is available, it may be more cost effective to try something else.
