Since the prohormone ban of 2009, there have been many supplements to experiment with different all-natural ingredient in hopes of finding something to work as effectively and without side effects. Some have been found to work, tribulus terrestris and eurycoma longifolia are two extract that come to mind that have done well at raising levels of testosterone. However, some companies are still pushing themselves to discover more effective compounds and pioneer bigger and better methods. One company that claims to be doing this is iForce. In their product Tropinol, they claim to have the strongest all-natural t-booster that will raise testosterone to supra-natural levels. We feel that is important to stay up on innovations so we decided to take a look at Tropinol for ourselves.

Ingredients

Tropinol does have some unique ingredients. They aren’t seen in many other supplements we have reviewed, especially not for testosterone. The first extract on their list is bulbine natalensis. This compound has been used mainly to treat sexual dysfunction among men in South Africa. Clinical studies have been done on bulbine natalensis to determine its testosterone promoting properties, but not among humans. Rat experiments done by the University of Fort Hare in South Africa have shown that it can boost testosterone, lower estrogen levels, and increasing anabolic activity. Sadly, we haven’t seen human studies to verify that these benefits could be observed in people. The second ingredient has a similar story to the first. Basella alba has been shown to help male rats boost testosterone, but we have not been able to find any studies conducted among humans.

The other ingredients in Tropinol are methyltheobromine and cholecalciferol. After a little bit of research we found that these are just sophisticated names for caffeine and vitamin D3. Apparently their real names weren’t glamorous enough to make it onto Tropinol’s label. Neither of these ingredients have been shown to boost testosterone and it definitely makes us wonder why they were included.

Conclusion

iForce isn’t pioneering anything as much as they are relying on old marketing schemes to sell a not-so-great product. By using advanced scientific names for vitamin D3 and caffeine, and citing rat studies to sell us on their ingredients, it is obvious that Tropinol is trying to disguise how simple and untested its formula really is. We recommend finding something else.
