Is it worth the pain of all those capsules? Let’s dig in:

RedCon1 Boom Stick Ingredients

As we’ve come to expect from RedCon1, Boom Stick is another well-dosed product that contains some pretty beefy doses of ingredients that are quite familiar to the product of natural testosterone boosters. Get ready to bring the BOOM!

Note: Ingredients listed below are based on one serving (i.e. *nine* capsules).

  • Vitamin D3 (3,300IU)

    RedCon1 Boom Stick Ingredients

    Boom Stick packs some pretty whopping doses of pro-testosterone producing compounds like Vitamin D, DAA, and Ashwagandha.

    In the modern era of tablets, smartphones, laptops, and gaming consoles, humans are spending increasing amounts of time huddled indoors, shunning the sun and with that missing out on the ability to naturally get some good ole’ Vitamin D, a.k.a. the sunshine vitamin.

    While this might not seem that bad on the surface, vitamin D deficiency doesn’t bode well for testosterone production. On top of that, lacking in this essential vitamin also means you’re at risk for increased estrogen levels, lower fertility, and a greater risk of CVD.[1]

    Even if you’re a vampire, Boom Stick is here to help bringing a hefty 3,300IU dose of Vitamin D. Supplementing with Vitamin D levels has been shown to boost testosterone production up to 20%, and it also supports aromatase inhibition, making for more free testosterone.[2,3]

    This is actually a perfect dose. We normally like about 5,000IU supplemental vitamin D, but your multivitamin often provides some. Between the two of these, you should be all set!

  • D-Aspartic Acid (3.12g)

    D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in the production of male sex hormones, and various other functions of the endocrine system. DAA triggers the release luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and growth hormone (GH), important hormones for optimal testosterone production.

    Research shows that when subjects ingest 3g per day of DAA (the same dose here) for 12 days, they experienced a 42% boost in testosterone production![4] After that, testosterone starts to trend back towards baseline, but you will definitely get a fantastic month from this stuff alone. Now it’s on to the other ingredients that will provide a longer-lasting and more sustained kick:

  • Ashwagandha Root (1g)

    Ashwagandha significantly reduces cortisol

    Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that helps lower cortisol in addition to improving VO2 Max.

    Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb best known for it stress-relieving properties, but it’s also a potent male enhancement supplement, as it also enhances semen quality by increasing levels of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH).[5,6]

    The age-old herb also helps lower cortisol production, which you might remember is extremely catabolic (muscle-wasting), and can hinder testosterone production — limiting your ability to build muscle.[7,8]

    Mega-dose alert! A full gram?!

    We’ve seen products use upwards of 600mg before, but rarely see supplements use a full gram. This should feel really, really good.

    Note that in the video above with Aaron Singerman, this is the ingredient that made things so difficult to flavor. With a whole gram of this herb, you can forget about it – time to bust out the capsules!

  • Tribulus Terrestris (750mg)

    Tribulus is another well-known Ayurvedic herb where it was used increase male virility and vitality. Researchers attribute much of the herb’s effectiveness to its high saponin content[9-11], which Boom Sticks extract is standardized to 90% steroidal saponins.

    Tribulus has been documented to increase IGF-1 and testosterone as well as enhance lean body mass and reduce body fat![12] This is part of the reason tribulus is used so frequently in natty test boosters, aside from its ability to significantly enhance libido.

    Definitely a hotly-debated ingredient here. Many argue that it can’t significantly raise testosterone, but nobody argues its effects on libido and feeling good. The question is, did those old studies where tribulus “didn’t” work for test use a strong extract like this? Or just a simple water-based extract?

    We’re not 100% sure where to land on this one, but we think it’s time to update some of the research now that extraction technology has gotten so much better.

  • Fenugreek Extract (600mg)

    RedCon1 Boom Stick Benefits

    Boom Stick supports lean gains, testosterone production, libido, and recovery.

    Frequently encountered in test boosters, fenugreek is an annual plant shown in research to boost testosterone levels as well as decrease body fat.[13] It’s believed that fenugreek works as an alpha-5 reductase inhibitor, which prevents testosterone from being converted to dihydrotestosterone levels (DHT), which has been implicated in male pattern baldness, amongst other things.

    Long story short, less testosterone-to-DHT conversion means you keep more of your testosterone, which indirectly keeps your test levels higher. And maybe a hair follicle or two as well, but we can’t be so sure if it goes that far or not.

  • Diindolylmethane (250mg)

    Now it’s time to get estrogen in check. Realize that estrogen isn’t always bad, but we want more of the good types.

    Diindolylmethane (DIM) is the active metabolite of indole-3-carbinol, I3C, a compound present in broccoli, cauliflower, and other cruciferous veggies that’s well estrogen and aromatase-blocking abilities.

    DIM promotes a healthy estrogen balance in men a few different ways including: stimulating Phase I enzymes[14], instructing AhR to produce more “good estrogen” and less “bad estrogen”[15] and increasing 2-hydroxyestrone (a “good” estrogen).[16]

  • Nettle Extract 1% (175mg)

    RedCon1 Boom Stick New

    Boom Stick is the newest mega-dosed product from RedCon1…what’s next?

    Stinging Nettle (Urtica Dioca) is rich in lignans which bind to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), inhibiting SHBG from binding to its own receptor, increasing the amount of free testosterone in the body.[17,18]

    Additionally, stinging nettle also inhibits DHT binding to assorted sites near the prostate, helping to prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP).[19] And to top it off, the plant inhibits 5-alpha reductase which supports more testosterone in the body and less DHT.[20]

Dosing

Consume 9 (yes, nine) capsules in the morning to support healthy testosterone production all day long.

It’s possible you can split these doses up across the day. You should not need post cycle therapy or any anti-estrogen treatment. When your 4-8 week cycle is done, just cease using it.

Then get ready to reload, because you’re going to like life a whole lot more with your Boom Stick than without!

Can it be used as PCT?

Alongside Med+Pak and your prescription-grade AIs, this would also make for a fantastic post cycle therapy support supplement to keep things as strong and high as you can while you cycled off of your more ‘hardcore’ stuff. But this alone isn’t enough – just a fantastic round of natural support.

Takeaway

Finally, someone’s bringing the house with this category!

Natural testosterone boosters are a dime a dozen, and the vast majority of them do virtually nothing. The ingredients that work do in fact need serious doses – so much that a powder makes more sense, but you can’t flavor these ingredients. So if you want it, you’re going to have to throw down quite a few capsules over the course of a month. But we think that’s worth the trouble.

RedCon1’s Boom Stick looks to be a diamond in the rough in the bloated supplement category. While it might not be as powerful as prohormones for elevating testosterone production, Boom Stick should definitely enhance your libido, performance in the bedroom, and overall recovery and mood.

So sign up for alerts, wait til we find a good 15% coupon (or better!), and put some boom into your stick.
