Hi everyone,
Been a longtime buyer from ND, always appreciated the high quality, but never made a post on the subreddit.
So I'm in my 20s, got my testosterone tested earlier this year before the pandemic and scored a disappointing 388. Doctor refused to do any more hormone testing to see if anything was wrong because I was in range.
So then I started optimizing my own health. Supplemented vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc. Stopped eating out and buying frozen meals. Cut out drinking bottled water, which may leech plastics. Getting plenty of sunlight. Ate lots of healthy fats.
And I started taking ND's 10% Tongkat Ali. Been taking it for the last month and a half. Took another testosterone blood test at a men's clinic last week and scored 972.
Now of course, I can't say it was 100% due to Tongkat. I made a lot of lifestyle changes as you can see since my last test. But what I will say is my new doctor was really surprised how big of a jump I made in half a year. And this isn't even the highest I could go, since I usually don't have great sleep and recently I haven't been getting as much exercise as I should. Now my next goal is…

See why I said this was the most effective supplement I have ever tried? I meant it! We worked really hard on this one for a year, and it was a lot of trial and error and beta testing for me, but the results are about as good as I could have ever hoped for. Good thing we tripled our latest run for the tablets! LOL. I heard for so long that there was nothing out there supplement-wise that could reliably increase testosterone. I even assumed that might be likely, but I took that as a challenge! Nature has given us so many interesting things. They just need to be made in the correct way using valid science. Do not write off natural extracts just because 99% of the industry is selling garbage. It's not the plant's fault that companies have no idea what they are doing.
