Best testosterone supplements

Fadogia agrestis and Tongkat Ali are the main supplement options discussed, but effects vary, and the evidence—especially for long-term safety—is limited.

• Fadogia agrestis: A suggested protocol is 600 mg daily for three weeks, then one week off. It may be most relevant when luteinizing hormone (LH) is low; it raises LH, which can stimulate testosterone production. 1 2
• Tongkat Ali: A commonly discussed range is 200–600 mg daily. It may support libido and free testosterone, in part by reducing sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), especially when SHBG is high. Effects may take weeks to become noticeable. 3 4
• Other options: Shilajit may have small effects on testosterone, energy, and libido, but it is not presented as a top choice. 5 6 The supplied evidence does not specify a Tribulus terrestris dose or establish its effectiveness.
• Use caution: Get blood work before starting and follow up to check effects; use tested, reputable products. Supplements should come after the basics: sound nutrition, appropriate exercise, and sufficient sleep. 7 8 9
