Studies conducted in the last 10 years indicate doubling your free testosterone levels in the span of just two months is possible.
The impressive results are the findings of a 2006 study conducted on the testosterone boosting compound Testofen. Testofen is primarily fenugreek seed extract. Testofen is formulated through a proprietary process that involves grinding and extracting the seeds, followed by a drying process.
After recent findings suggest Testofen is effective at raising free testosterone levels and improving body composition, more and more muscle building supplements are being formulated with Testofen.
During the 2006 study on Testofen 30 males between the ages of 18 and 35 were administered a placebo while 30 other males in the same age range were given 300mg of Testofen twice a day for 60 days. Both groups went through resistance training during the trial.
While there was no significant drop in weight for the individuals using Testofen, free testosterone levels almost doubled in the group from 17.76pg/ml to 35.29pg/ml.
And while the rise in Testosterone levels was significant, the benefits came with the change in body composition. Skin folds at the triceps and thighs were measured prior to the trial and following the trial. Skin folds dropped 15 to 20% indicating a direct correlation to a reduction in body fat.
Blood Urea Nitrogen levels were also taken before and after with a 9.4% reduction following the tow-month trial. The results reflect a reduction in protein catabolism and confirms the muscle mass increased.
The results of the study indicate Testofen isn’t a weight loss compound, but can be used as an effective muscle building compound.
And while testosterone levels and body composition were the subjects of this one study, Testofen has also been shown to raise sexual desire as testosterone levels increase within the body.
The multiple benefits surrounding Testofen have lead supplement manufacturers to develop more and more products with Testofen in the formula. However, be warned the subjects in the study were using 300mg of Testofen everday. Many supplements may use less and prove to be less effective.
