D-Aspartic Acid Calcium Chelate 

This complex-sounding ingredient is actually one single amino acid, D-Aspartic Acid. However, it comes in a special form (calcium chelate) that makes it 75 times more soluble in water. That allows it to be fully absorbed into your bloodstream with little risk of an upset stomach.

As for D-Aspartic Acid itself, one study showed that taking 3 grams of it per day could boost testosterone levels by 42% in as little as two weeks.

D-Aspartic Acid is best-suited for turbocharging libido, making it a good choice for any man looking to rev up his love life again.

BioPerine

BioPerine doesn’t actually boost testosterone, but it’s still an important ingredient. It helps your body absorb nutrients, ensuring that all of the other T-boosters in Prime Male are properly utilized.

If you look around, you’ll notice that BioPerine is being used in all sorts of supplements these days, from multivitamins to nootropics. That’s because every supplement works better when your body absorbs it properly.

Boron

Boron is a mineral that your body needs for everything from growing bones to reducing inflammation. For our purposes, though, its most important function is causing your body to release more free testosterone.

Studies have shown that boron can increase free testosterone levels by as much as 28% in a single week. Even better, boron helps lower estrogen levels too, making your T-booster all the more effective.

Korean Red Ginseng

There are several different types of ginseng, and they can do everything from improve brain function to reduce inflammation. However, there’s one particular type of ginseng — Korean red ginseng — that can work wonders on men suffering from erectile dysfunction.

In fact, doctors have found that taking Korean red ginseng every day for two months reduces the risk of erectile dysfunction, boosts sexual desire, and improves sexual satisfaction.

Luteolin

Found in the leaves of a particular family of mint plants, luteolin helps block the production of estrogen. That’s important because estrogen is the yin to testosterone’s yang; as its opposite, it can block all the vital functions we want testosterone to accomplish.

Men with high estrogen levels have lower sperm counts, increased risk of erectile dysfunction, and oh yeah — they grow breasts. Not pecs. Breasts.

It makes sense, then, to block as much estrogen production as you can.

Magnesium

Most of the testosterone in your body is unavailable for you to use. Instead, it’s bound to compounds called sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG).

Magnesium reduces your SHBG levels, causing more testosterone to become available — this is called “free” testosterone, and it’s really the only testosterone that matters for improving performance.

Taking magnesium can boost your free testosterone levels — and it works wonders when you combine it with heavy exercise.

Mucuna Pruriens Extract

While estrogen gets all the hype, there’s actually another female hormone that can be just as devastating for men. It’s called prolactin, and Mucuna pruriens extract helps block it.

Mucuna pruriens also fights cellular damage related to stress. This can help you look and feel better, even when your life is hectic.

It may also improve sperm count and quality, which can boost both your fertility levels and sexual satisfaction.

Nettle Root

Like magnesium, nettle root helps block SHBG, freeing up more testosterone in your body.

Not only that, but nettle root is an excellent natural estrogen blocker. 

Vitamin B6

Your body can’t just make testosterone out of thin air. First, it has to assemble the building blocks of testosterone, which is a hormone called androgen.

Vitamin B6 causes your body to increase androgen production, which then signals your testes to ramp up testosterone production as well. By increasing the amount of vitamin B6 in your bloodstream, you give your body all the raw ingredients it needs to make testosterone.

As an added bonus, vitamin B6 also helps you absorb zinc and magnesium, both of which are key ingredients in Prime Male.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 has been shown to be one of the most important nutrients for testosterone production in men. However, most men don’t get nearly enough. Why is that?

Simple — most of our vitamin D comes from exposure to sunlight. Many men these days spend all their time indoors, they’re not getting nearly enough rays to spur testosterone production.

However, spending time in the sun carries a significant risk of skin cancer, so it’s helpful to get extra vitamin D from other sources.

Vitamin K2

Think of vitamin K2 as Robin to vitamin D3’s Batman. While vitamin K2 only modestly boosts testosterone on its own, it’s extremely effective at raising T-levels when paired with vitamin D3.

As a brief aside, one thing we like about Prime Male is how most of their ingredients work synergistically with one another. That shows they put a lot of thought into what to include in their formula, rather than just loading it with a bunch of different herbs and hoping it would work.

Zinc

If your zinc levels are low, your body won’t produce testosterone. That’s because zinc is an essential ingredient in the hormones that stimulate testosterone production.

Scientists have discovered that your zinc levels and testosterone levels are closely linked. 

There’s a catch, though: your body can’t store zinc, so you have to continually replenish your levels through diet or supplementation. 

Is Prime Male FDA Approved?

Not at this time, no. However, it’s manufactured in an FDA-approved facility, meaning you can trust it to be made safely and without problematic ingredients.
