Too many supplements to take at once?
Original post in this thread

I've been taking the following supplements for the past 6 weeks and feel good (high energy, decreased stress):
\- tongkat ali
\- fenugreek
\- ashwagandha
I'm planning to add the following into the mix soon, mainly to help with sperm health:
\- D-Aspartic Acid
\- shilajit resin
Because all of these supplements affect testosterone levels I'm wondering if this stack could cause any negative side-effects. I guess the best method in determining that is to simply try them and see what happens. For context I'm a 43 yr old male and am physically healthy/fit. Just wanted to check to see if anyone has any thoughts on potential interactions or general thoughts. Thanks!

Really? Don't things fight for absorption in your stomach? And isn't taking too many supplements at once bad for the liver?

Depends on the specific compounds. I spread my stack out into morning, midday, and evening for that reason. Each one is around 20 tablets/capsules/softgels. I also use improved bioavailability formulas, like our Micromag and Microzinc, to avoid ion channel competition in the GI tract.
