Beast Super Test: Man’s Best Friend in Eight Capsules Per Day

Note: Beast has released an upgraded formula that requires fewer capsules — Beast Super Test MAX!

Natural test boosters are one of the most commonly bought supplements on the market. Almost every company on the market has their own version of a “natural” test booster.. What guy DOESN’T want heightened testosterone and the good feel and confidence that comes with it?

Beast Super Test

At the max dose of eight capsules per day, Beast’s Super Test has almost everything a guy can ask for… especially if the test has been dipping

While most fall directly into the useless pile, there are exceptions. In this piece, we attack the ingredient list of Beast Sports Nutrition Super Test. Will it make it into our good graces?

What We Want From Test Boosters vs What We Get

Test boosters, on paper, should be the best supplement around. Higher testosterone is associated with favorable body composition changes, heightened sexual prowers and drive, and maybe even successful career traits. So holy shit, should we all be blasting testosterone boosters on a daily basis? Shall we make like creatine and chug down test booster powder on the daily?

Libido is great, but it doesn’t always equal testosterone

…Not so fast, as most test boosters are glorified natural boner pills for those that already have enough testosterone. Young adults that take something like tribulus, for example, may notice they have more sexual drive.[1] However, they often will not have any major changes in lean body mass or other markers of higher testosterone.[2]

So, let’s set our expectations for this product. We understand that a test booster will probably not help us gain more muscle. But it may heighten our sex drive and may even help those that are older than thirty get back to their “healthy” testosterone level.

With that said, let’s check the prices out there (you can sign up for Beast news as well) and dig into this massive ingredient list:

Let’s attack this ingredient list since we know what we’re looking for. Warning: this is long!

Beast Super Test Ingredients

The list below is for one serving of four capsules. A max dose of this product is eight capsules per day (one serving taken on both ends of the day), which would double all of the doses below.

However, to make a bottle last exactly a month, you’d take six capsules per day, which would multiply the doses below by 1.5x.

  • Beast Super Test Ingredients

    A massive list, and while there’s a bit of a prop blend in there, the stuff that counts (like KSM-66) is clinically-dosed if you max-dose it!

    Pro-Testosterone Support Factors

    We start with the two ingredients that help you boost (or keep) your testosterone:

    • Fenugreek Extract std. To 50% Steroidal Saponins (300mg)

      Fenugreek is one of the most common test-boosters on the market. Through its action as an alpha-5 reductase inhibitor, it may prevent testosterone from being converted to DHT. This, in theory, would lead to higher testosterone levels that could be coupled with a decrease in body fat.[3]

      Considering that high levels of DHT have been connected to male pattern baldness, you may even notice hair benefits! We’ve wondered why fenugreek isn’t in more hair loss supplements because of that.

    • KSM-66 Ashwagandha – 300mg

      A PricePlow favorite!

      KSM-66

      Made by Ixoreal Biomed, KSM-66 is claimed to be the strongest full-spectrum Ashwagandha extract!

      Ashwagandha might not impact your testosterone levels if you’re in a “healthy” range, but it’s one of the best natural ingredients we’ll see for those who have taken a ‘dip’. And it will reduce your cortisol levels. This will help you feel less stressed in general,[4] which is the purpose of adaptogenic herbs such as ashwagandha. Since high cortisol levels devastate natural testosterone production, it’s inclusion in Super Test makes sense. We applaud the choice of extract and the dosage. No complaints here.

      For those outside of normal test ranges, you may be in luck! Ashwagandha will probably help you out in the test arena![5] KSM-66 is the industry standard when it comes to quality extract.

  • Nitric Oxide Factor

    • Agmatine Sulfate as AGmass (500mg)

      Now this is a bit of a spin from the standard test booster!

      Beast Super Test Review

      Brandon Hendrickson represents Beast well, basically always in Beast Mode

      Agmatine is a classic ingredient we normally find in pre-workouts. By limiting an enzyme that breaks down nitric oxide, your body gets more nitric oxide to play with. This will improve blood flow. It’s presence in a test booster should be obvious, right? You’ll get better blood flow. We need not explain that further, we hope.

      It’s an ingredient that may erect Super Test as something worth taking pre workout,[6] at least for one of your two doses. Might as well give that pre workout supplement a boost!

  • Anti-Estrogen Factors

    • Polygonum cuspidatum (200mg)

      Polygonum cuspidatum, or Japanese Knotwood, is a far less-commonly used ingredient. Its presence in an “estrogen-blocking” matrix may be questionable, however, as we’ve seen it be labeled as “estrogenic” by researchers[7]

      However, it provides a ton of health benefits. Japanese Knotwood can be seen as a vessel for resveratrol. We love resveratrol, which can improve cognitive focus and mental drive through heightened cerebral blood flow.[8] Japanese Knotweed on its own will also provide a nice anti-inflammatory effect.[9]

      Polygonum Cuspidatum

      Polygonum Cuspidatum shows anti-inflammatory potential[9]

      Considering it’s potentially estrogenic, we’ve reached out to Beast as to why they’ve included Knotwood in their test booster.[7]

    • White Button Mushroom 10:1 Extract (100mg)

      Another unique ingredient here, and this is one we can get behind. White Button Mushroom extract has research showing it may have some an anti-estrogenic effect. It may be more of a regulating effect than a reducing effect, but it’s better than nothing.[10]

  • Liver & Kidney Factors

    • Milk Thistle Extract (200mg)

      Milk Thistle is an ingredient commonly found in natural post cycle therapy products. It contains a compound called silymarin, which can really help with maintaining optimal liver health. It may enhance protein and DNA synthesis within the organ itself! Perhaps more impressing is that there is research showing that milk thistle may be an effective treatment for alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis and even alcohol poisoning.[11]

      This ingredient enables Super Test to be used as a PCT for more “hardcore” users.

    • Cranberry Extract (30mg)

      Beast Sports Nutrition Super Test

      Only a man would understand!! No second trip allowed, especially if on Super Test!

      Cranberry juice and extracts are commonly and used to treat UTIs, so it definitely has value as a “kidney health” agent. It may even reduce the ability of some species of bacteria to bind to the walls of the kidney. Not much else to say here. [12] Good to have, we guess, especially for those using it alongside harsher compounds, like above.

  • Anti-DHT Factors

    • Stinging Nettle Extract (150mg)

      Stinging Nettle contains a ton of lignans, which are superb at messing with sex hormone binding globulin, or SHBG.[13] SHBG is great at making testosterone incapable of binding to your androgen receptors… which is bad.

      Stinging nettle extract may be a good way of increasing the amount of free testosterone you have available for muscle building as it may indirectly boost testosterone. In addition, it has some 5ɑ-reductase antagonist action, which will stop testosterone from going to DHT,[14] assisting with the fenugreek ingredient’s angle.

      So we have two routes of testosterone boosting… by blocking both SHBGs and 5ɑ-reductase enzymes. Does it work? Research is mixed, but it’s worth having.[15]

    • Beta Sitosterol Complex

      Beta Sitosterol is a phytosterol that structurally looks like cholesterol and is commonly found in plants. Beta sitosterol and its phytosterol brethren have been shown to improve human cholesterol profiles.[16] It is also commonly used to stop hair loss, as it has a minor ability to prevent testosterone’s conversion to DHT.

      Beast Super Test Benefits

      The benefits taken from Beast’s Website

    • Pumpkin Extract (20mg)

      Pumpkin Extract may also lower DHT through 5ɑ-reductase action. The keyword is “may” as the most commonly cited study on pumpkin extract was confounded by including many other ingredients in their formulation. It’s hard to tell if it’s useless or useful.[17]

      This is typically found in prostate support formulas, and the ingredient has been known to help prevent nightly trips to the bathroom in older men. As you can see, this is starting to look like an overall “man optimizer” that does more than just deal with testosterone!

    • Male Support Complex Blend – 800mg

      We’ll never understand why companies put prop blends in “open label” products. Regardless, we’ll cut through these ingredients quickly.

      • Tribulus

        Beast Brandon Hendrickson

        That winning feeling. Beast’s Brandon Hendrickson (@brvndonflexx) knows it well!

        Tribulus is interesting. It’ll improve your sexual health and desires without impacting your actual testosterone levels.[18] For those looking to dive back into the sex game, this is a great thing to have. But don’t confuse the feel with actual testosterone! The ashwaganda is the ingredient that everyone should look at for that regard.

      • Suma and Cyanotis Vaga

        Suma is often used to add ecdysteroids to a product even though it’s not the best source. Cyanotis vaga is likely included to overcome suma’s status as an inferior source. Ecdysteroids, in at least one study, have anabolic qualities despite not impacting hormone levels.[19]

      • Safed Musli Extract

        Safed is a herb all the way from India that has been getting men rock hard for generations. It’s hard to argue with many of these Indian herbs, as they often have thousands of years of anecdotal evidence that show their effectiveness. Thankfully, it’s also been shown by research to increase sperm production and erectile strength.[20,21]

        Does that mean more testosterone, though? No, but it’s not a bad sign!

      • Cissus quadrangularis

        Beast Super Testosterone

        We’d argue that after 30 is when this product really starts to matter!

        Cissus, in a test booster? Why not – remember, this has become a total optimizer! Cissus is a wonderful joint health ingredient that can help burn fat. We really love it. Cissus is also fantastic for reducing inflammation and even bone health.

        Take it wherever you can get it,[22,23] even if it’s not for testosterone!

      • Eurycoma longifolia – Long Jack

        Long Jack is one of the classic test booster ingredients, also known as eurycoma longifolia or tongkat ali. It’s reliable at increasing testosterone in men that may be rendered infertile due to age or genetic factors.[24] Interestingly enough, it also have a ton of benefits for stressed adults.[25]

      • Rhodiola rosea

        Rhodiola Rosea

        Rhodiola Rosea: Our favorite feel-good herb with some additional workout boosting properties

        Rhodiola is one of the best ingredients in this whole blend (arguably against KSM-66 Ashwagandha) but it’s unfortunately listed at the bottom. Rosea can be seen as the adaptogen answer to caffeine. It has amazing anti-fatigue benefits.[26]

        It’ll make you feel real good… but unlike ashwagandha, there’s no research connecting it to testosterone production.

Dosage

Each serving is a four capsule serving, and there’s 180 capsules per bottle, which makes for a unique 45 servings.

However, the instructions state to take 3-4 caps before morning meal and 3-4 tablets before evening meal daily. We’d argue that one of those servings can be pre-workout to get the agmatine assisting with some pumps.

Cycling

Beast then states to take Super Test for a maximum of 8 weeks, followed by a 4 week off-cycle. Do not exceed recommended dosage.

Strategy and Savings

Now’s where you need to do some math and decide how much you want to spend / how long you want a bottle to last. If you take six caps daily, you’ll get a month’s supply.

But if you max-dose it for the max period of time (8 caps a day for 8 weeks), you’ll need three bottles! The benefits there are that you’re in clinical dose territory of KSM-66 Ashwagandha, and it’s almost impossible that you won’t feel great from that.

Is this a PCT Support Supplement?

Given that this has a liver and kidney support area, alongside a kitchen sink of anti-estrogens, it’s almost guaranteed that Beast was looking to assist with PCT.

However, note that we say PCT support supplement. If you’re using “hardcore” exogenous hormones, you’ll still need a prescription-grade PCT, and that’s why blood tests are always king.

Conclusion

Super Test throws nearly every natural ingredient it can at the testosterone and PCT problem, outside of a couple ingredients. This is one of those supplements we can nearly guarantee will make a man feel great — especially at the max-dose of two servings per day.

Beast Sports Nutrition

The strongest name in sports strikes again… if you’re willing to take down eight caps in a day!

And while it contains some awesome ingredients, everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt that young, healthy males will likely only get negligible testosterone impact from them. This is clearly for the older guys or those who want some PCT help.

The two ingredients missing, if you’re really looking for a kitchen sink supplement, would be D-Aspartic Acid and maca root – but to efficaciously dose them, you’d be looking at another six to eight capsules per day, so you’re on your own with those, possibly in powder form.

For those that are past the age of thirty and in a bit of a slump, we’d say Super Test may be worth a shot. For our younger readers, stick to proper sleep, diet, and go easy on the alcohol, drugs, and pornography to maintain your elite Beast-level hormonal levels.
