TestoUltra Reviews 2023

What Is TestoUltra?

TestoUltra is a T-boosting supplement specifically designed to address the issue of low libido and improve overall sexual health. Unlike other popular testosterone boosters that offer a wide range of health benefits, TestoUltra is hyper-focused on enhancing sexual desire and performance, or so it claims. The problem is that it doesn't actualy function very well as a libido focused test booster. Developed by Natively Healthy, a lesser-known company with a 2.1-star rating on Trustpilot, TestoUltra claims to provide effective results. Its main ingredient, Tongkat Ali, has shown promise in boosting testosterone levels. Let's take a closer look at its composition and effectiveness.

Does TestoUltra Work?

TestoUltra's efficacy is definitely up for question, there are a couple of ingredients in the supplement that are known to work, but it is generally made up of less effective ingredients. 

Beyond that there's the issue with it being a proprietary blend, meaning that we can't be sure that ingredients are in the corrrect doses, although it is mathematically impossible that they are all available in their best ranges, which we'll cover in more detail in the ingredients section.

TestoUltra Ingredients

The total​ formula is less than 1500mg, at whilst Testoultra is a proprietary blend this is important as the ideal dosages are beyond what can possibly be contained within the supplement. It's also worth mentioning that it's a legal requirement to list ingredients from highest weight to lowest on the label.

Horny Goat Weed extract: This popular aphrodisiac has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine. While it is believed to revitalize libido and performance, scientific evidence supporting these claims is lacking. The few studies that do suggest it is effective for improving drive suggest that it needs to be dosed at 1000mg, which would mean if this is dosed correctly we only have 500mg left to work with. [1]

Saw Palmetto extract: Known for its ability to regulate testosterone levels, Saw Palmetto extract prevents the conversion of free testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Although it does not increase testosterone production, it helps maintain existing testosterone levels. It's generally considered an "extra" ingredient in better testosterone boosters as there are far better options. Added to which the ideal dosage is about 300mg, meaning that we pretty much only have enough space left for tongkat ali at 200mg. So we can assume that the rest of the ingredients beyond that point, with the exception of boron are not going to be within effective ranges. [2]

Tongkat Ali extract: Tongkat Ali has been shown to increase testosterone levels in a 2012 study, where 90% of older men experienced noticeable improvements in their testosterone levels after one month of supplementation. Tongkat Ali however, is not as effective at improving libido as ashwagandha, ginseng or maca, meaning that it's not a great backbone for a libido focused test booster. [3]

Orchic: Extracted from bull testicles, Orchic is believed to be an aphrodisiac. However, there is a lack of conclusive scientific evidence to support this claim, raising questions about its inclusion in TestoUltra. This is really a novelty ingredient for the sake of creating a diferentiation with TestoUltra and other testosterone boosters, rather than actually being effective. [4]

Smilax Glabra Roxb: This Chinese herb is often included in supplements as a "synergist" to enhance the bioavailability and effectiveness of other ingredients. However, there is limited scientific evidence supporting its benefits on animal trials only and these would translate to needing 1000s of mg to be effective, meaning even if it does turn out to be effective it won't be in a useful dose here. [5]

Wild Yam extract: While Wild Yam extract does not directly affect testosterone levels, it can help lower blood sugar and LDL cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. There is a tenuous connection with LDL and testosterone although it's not overly well backed. There is also the fact that you need between 0.4mg to 1.5mg per lb of body weight. So most men would need 100-200mg which there isn't enough room for in the blend. It's also worth mentioning that some recent studies even suggest it can have an estrogenic effect, so not a good inclusion. [6]

Boron Amino Acid Chelate: Boron inhibits Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG), a protein that binds to free testosterone, lowering its levels. A study from 2011 showed that boron can significantly reduce SHBG concentration, ensuring higher levels of available testosterone. Most testosterone boosters get boron dosages right as you only need 10mg, so we can reasonable assume the dose in TestoUltra is correct. [7]

Despite the inclusion of these ingredients, TestoUltra lacks a fast-acting testosterone-boosting substance. While Tongkat Ali can raise testosterone levels, it may take up to a month to see meaningful results. In comparison, alternatives like Prime Male and TestoFuel contain D-Aspartic Acid (DAA), which has been shown to increase testosterone levels by up to 42% in just 12 days of supplementation. [8]
