Testosterone Matrix

- As a whole, Testosterone Matrix is ​​designed to help support testosterone production, strength, libido and cognition in men. KSM-66® ashwagandha is a proprietary full-spectrum extract of withania root, made without alcohol or chemical solvents, and is indicated to reduce stress and cortisol levels, support memory and cognition, improve testosterone levels, and improve sexual function in men and women.
- Testofen is a proprietary fenugreek extract that has been shown to increase total and free testosterone, libido, sexual performance, energy and general well-being in a variety of male populations and ages. Suboptimal levels of vitamin D3 have been associated with suboptimal testosterone levels and supplementation can restore healthy concentrations of total testosterone in men.
Testosterone Matrix contains KSM-66® ashwagandha, a proprietary full-spectrum extract of withania root that has been extensively clinically researched for use in stress-related health conditions. Through a patented alcohol- and solvent-free extraction process that took over a decade to develop, KSM-66® is able to retain high concentrations of hydrophilic and lipophilic components of the raw root. KSM-66® is unique from other ashwagandha root extracts because it has been specifically studied and shown to improve sperm parameters, muscle strength, testosterone levels in men and sexual function in women. KSM-66® has also been the subject of more than 20 human clinical trials to support its effectiveness in the areas of memory and cognition, stress reduction, improved thyroid function and weight management.
Trigonella foenum-graecum, commonly known as fenugreek, is traditionally used to increase milk production in breastfeeding women and as an effective tool for regulating blood sugar levels. More recent data has shown that a particular fenugreek extract known as Testofen®, which is standardized into a proprietary blend of saponin glycosides, may promote healthy testosterone levels in men. A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of resistance training men ages 18-35 showed a significant increase in total testosterone and free testosterone, 11% and 99%, respectively, after 8 weeks of supplementation. Another double-blind, placebo-controlled human study used Testofen® in combination with magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B6 for 6 weeks, and found significant improvements in self-rated areas of sexual arousal, orgasm, libido, quality of sexual performance, energy, and general well-being. A third trial involving 120 men aged 43 to 70 confirmed that treatment with Testofen® monotherapy can effectively reduce normal symptoms of andropause and improve sexual health by significantly increasing sexual arousal, desire and activity, as well as free testosterone and total testosterone levels.
Finally, certain nutrients have been shown to support endogenous testosterone production. Zinc's reputation as an immune-boosting mineral is well-deserved, but it's well-deserved for healthy hormonal support. In particular, zinc deficiency in men can have a negative effect on sperm parameters and it is one of the few nutrients that has been shown to contribute to lower testosterone. Additionally, zinc supplementation has been shown to increase free testosterone levels in men with suboptimal baseline levels and may improve mood and cognition by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor and blocking NMDA receptors in the brain.
Vitamin D is the other key nutrient that plays a role in testosterone regulation. Although further research is needed to determine the exact relationship, serum vitamin D concentrations have been shown to be a significant and positive predictor of total testosterone levels in a number of observational trials. This correlation was also observed in women. Additionally, an intervention trial showed that vitamin D supplementation helped increase testosterone levels in men with vitamin D deficiency at baseline.
Overall, Testosterone Matrix has been formulated to provide evidence-based dosages of KSM-66® ashwagandha and Testofen® fenugreek, along with supporting vitamins and minerals, to optimally support healthy testosterone levels, strength, libido and cognition in men.
