Does Testabolan Work?

 

Note: This is a review. Click here to visit the Testabolan website.

 

 

When you get your testosterone levels checked, which you may want to do if you’re in your 40s or so and you’re feeling inexplicably sluggish and have a few other tell-tale signs, you get two numbers: Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone. Total testosterone is just that – the entire amount your body makes and that you have at the time of the test. Free testosterone is the amount that your body can actually use. In the end, the number that really matters is free testosterone – the T your body can use.

 

 

What is Testabolan?

 

Testabolan is a supplement for iForce Nutrition that promises to boost that free testosterone number without involving illegal or illicit steroids. By increasing that free testosterone, you’ll see improvement in a number of areas including:

 

• Increased strength
• Improved mood and cognitive capacity.
• Decreased body fat.
• Greater lean muscle to fat ratio.
• Boosted libido.

 

How Testabolan Works

 

Some, even most, testosterone boosting supplements focus on increasing total testosterone. Testabolan puts more focus on increasing free testosterone. A significant amount of your total testosterone becomes bound to Androgen Binding Protein (ABP) and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). When it’s bound, it is basically useless to you and your body. What Testabolan does is compete with testosterone for the attention of ABP and SHBG, so instead of binding to testosterone, they bind to Testabolan, leaving more of your testosterone free to do its work. With more free testosterone, your body remains in more of an anabolic state, and you grow and develop more lean muscle, aslong with all the other benefits of increased free testosterone.

 

Testabolan also claims to support protein synthesis and reduce the release of cortisol which puts you into a catabolic state, which you don’t want if you’re trying to build muscle.

Testabolan Ingredients

 

The ingredient list is actually very brief. It includes:

 

• Acetyl L-Carnitine (1) which may increase the androgen receptors in muscle, making it more receptive to testosterone and to being in the anabolic state.
• 3,4 Divanillyltetrahydrofuran (2) which is what blocks the SHBG and ABP, preventing them from binding up testosterone, essentially increasing free testosterone.
• Narangin which is similar to the fat burning component found in grapefruit. It releases Adiponectin which contributes to the breakdown of fat.

 

 

How To Use Testabolan

 

It’s recommended that you take 2 Testabolan in the morning with a meal, then take another 2 with dinner. The idea is that you want to take it with meals and you want to space each dose out several hours. You do have some flexibility as long as you work within those parameters.

 

Testabolan Before and After Reviews

 

Testabolan reviews are actually pretty mixed. Some guys feel like it’s working exactly as they want it to. Others find no improvement at all.

 

On the positive side:

 

“You won’t find a better OTC test booster than this. Your lifts will go up, you’ll sleep better, and you will FEEL better. Be ready for your libido to go through the roof. iForce uses an extremely potent extract of its main ingredient that really sets it apart from products that claim to use the same thing. This is a must try.”

 

On the negative side:

 

“Took this product to the ‘T’ so to speak. I was looking for an increase of energy, muscle hardness, libido, and perhaps a decrease in body fat. Although, the libido increased, that is about the only positive thing I can say for this product. If I noticed any other positives, I would consider a second bottle, but in my opinion, it is simply not worth it. Rather disappointed.”

 

It seems that even guys who weren’t impressed with any of the muscle building effects did find their libido was boosted, so maybe it wasn’t a total loss for almost anyone.

 

Where to Buy Testabolan

 

Testabolan is sold on the iForce Nutrition website as well as Bodybuilding.com. At the official website, you’ll pay $45.99 for the one month supply, while at Bodybuilding.com, you’ll save a bit by paying $39.99 for the same amount. You can also pick some up at your local Vitamin Shoppe as well.

 

Testabolan Pros

 

• The focus is on free testosterone, which is important since it’s the testosterone your body can use.
• It’s reasonably priced.
• You can pick it up online as well as locally in stores.
• It’s innovative in its approach to boosting testosterone.

 

Testabolan Cons

 

• Some reviewers say it just doesn’t work.
• The way it’s supposed to work hasn’t been proven, and may not pan out.

 

Our Testabolan Conclusion

Testabolan clearly works for some of the guys who’ve used it. In fact, some of them swear by the stuff. The fact that it’s on the cheaper side of the range of cost for typical testosterone boosters leads me to the conclusion that it’s probably worth giving a try. Probably the worst thing that could happen is your only benefit is a libido boost, and that ain’t nothing.
