Commonly asked questions we came across when researching our evl test review
Evlution Nutrition EVL test has a lot of good ingredients, and many do work to raise free testosterone levels naturally. It just overdoes a few and as we've mentioned time and time again we can't recommend DIM if you want to support healthy testosterone levels for the long term.
Vitamin B6 11mg - Vitamin B6 is a good inclusion for test boosters, deficiency can increase estrogen levels as it's important in the production of cells which prevent the synthesis of estrogen. [3]
Magnesium 160mg - Magnesium supplementation has been shown to increase testosterone levels in active men, it was less effective in men who didn't exercise regularly. [4]
Zinc 30mg - Zinc deficiency, as we've already mentioned severely depletes testosterone levels [5]. It's a relatively common deficiency so supplementing for it is generally good for your testosterone level. That said, if you do currently get enough zinc, it won't really do anything to boost low testosterone levels.
Vitamin D 50mcg - Vitamin D deficiency effects about 40% of the adult population in the US. And supplementing for that has been shown to raise testosterone levels by 40% and up. Perhaps the element where EVL Test fails is not having enough d3. That's because EVL Test focuses on being a dietary supplement which raises testosterone levels for the purpose of building lean muscle mass and much larger amount of vitamin D have been shown to improve athletic performance. It actually seems to scale to about 5000UI, which is closer to 125mg. We generally recommend supplementing for 3-4000 as it's likely you'll get some vitamin D from other sources.
D Aspartic Acid 3120mg - This is not too much for everyone, if you weigh more than 200lb it's probably fine, however, if you weigh less this is NOT optimal. You're far more likely to experience side effects at this point that will have the opposite effect of what's intended.
Tribulus Terrestris Extract 750mg - Tribulus terrestris extract is not a bad testosterone booster ingredient. But there are better options, Panax Ginseng and Ashwagandha for example. These typically take the place of Tribulus terrestris in other test boosters better than EVL Test. The dosage is right mind, but there's been less and less supporting evidence for it in recent studies [5].
Fenugreek Seed Extract 500mg - The fenugreek is a good inclusion in EVL test, it's got a host of benefits, from boosting energy levels, to raising testosterone levels, double blind studies have confirmed it's use in helping people increase lean muscle naturally, this is a strong inclusion. [6]
Diindolylmethane (DIM) 250mg - We've already talked a lot about DIM, yes it works for the short term as a testosterone booster, but long term it could be very damaging for natural testosterone levels.
There's a lot of good here, but a couple of changes need to be made to maximise free testosterone levels and avoid EVL test side effects.
