Low testosterone levels have been associated with a decline in libido, erectile dysfunction, lack of energy, less physical strength and endurance, loss of height, decreased enjoyment in life, low mood, feeling grumpy, falling asleep after dinner, and decreased work performance.
Shilajit is a naturally occurring, mineral-rich phytocomplex with many bioactive components, including fulvic acids. It comprises rock humus, rock minerals, and organic substances that have been compressed by layers of rock mixed with marine organisms and microbial metabolites. Shilajit has a rich history of use in Indian ayurvedic and siddha medicine as a health and wellness optimizer. It is known as a rasayana because of its rejuvenating qualities, which include heightening physical performance and relieving fatigue.*
Testo uses a PrimaVie shilajit because we believe the purification process, and therefore the quality of the shilajit they produce, is superior. PrimaVie® is a high quality, clinically studied, Purified Shilajit from the Himalayas, containing dibenzo-α-pyrones (DBPs), DBP-Chromoproteins (DCP), Fulvic Acid and over 40 different minerals.
This double-blind placebo-controlled study revealed that PrimaVie shilajit, when compared to placebo, significantly (P < 0.05) increased total testosterone, free testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). The levels of testosterone synthesis-supportive gonadotropic hormones were well maintained.*[7]
LJ100Ā Eurycoma longifolia root (Malaysian ginseng) is considered a tonic and an adaptogen for supporting a healthy libido, energy, sports performance, and weight management by promoting healthy testosterone levels and freeing testosterone from SHBG. Eurypeptides activate the CYP-17 enzyme, which plays a key role in the production of DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, and pheromone via the metabolism of pregnenolone.
The benefits of LJ100 are not limited to males or particular age groups.Ā
In summary, it appears that the combination of these two herbs supports healthy testosterone levels in men and women which, in turn, supports vitality, virility, and vigor.*
