Great video. I saw a podcast where cold plunges, then workout doubles testosterone in the 1,000's (cold showers are tough... 8-10 min week). Also Dimm to lower estridial, boost free Test. With magnesium, personally, I buy the cheap tablets (mag glycinate, mag malate, mag taurate, and mag citrate), then rotate per meal (although do have the others). They are cheaper as single dosages. Also, generally I take 600-1,000 of elemental magnesium. The percent of magnesium that is digested varies, so I try to get a 400-600 mg digested dosage spread out during day. Another supplement not talked about is omega 3's. In high doses per Rhonda Patrick podcast - maybe 2-4 grams, it actually protects muscles from lack of exercise. I also take ALA omega 3's (flax seed oil) as ALA has unique benefits for the body that DHA & EPA don't provide. It's amazing that know one mentions ALA benefits, only ALA's crappy conversion rate to EPA... Remember 20 years ago researchers were saying EPA didn't do anything. Today they say it is more important than DHA.

0:37 HORAY! Five years ago the moment I started powerlifting I started taking all three of these supplements.

Zinc and Mag can easily become deficient not just through mineral depletion but also stress. We waste minerals and especially B vitamins like crazy. Zinc also needs adequate stomach acid to be absorbed, especially taking it in a meal without phytates (nuts/seeds/grains/legume) otherwise absorption is impeded upwards of 80%. So if chronically stressed or deficient in other cofactors for stomach acid production zinc absorption falters.

Just a little comment on estrogen since you said it may be bad to see an increase, the way males produce most of their testosterone is using an enzyme called aromatase that turns testosterone into estrogen. A balance between E and T is very important and doubling your total T while only adding 20% E would probably be a good outcome (since more testosterone = more aromatase activity which leads to more strogen). Altough you may wanna look into other factors that increase estrogen outside of testosterone, namely food/water from plastic containers (Especially reheating food in plastic containers can really mess up hormones) and tap water disinfectants like hypochloride and chloroamine.

I embarrassed to say but sex life was not good..but now I have high testosterone and perform like I did in my 20s. Oh and my wife likes it too.

Are you taking magnesium and zinc at the same time?

I just ordered these with a multivitamin. Excited to start. My Testoterone is soooo low. Would love to see what happens when you combine with Tongkat Ali. Instead of taking a break to test other supplements. Looking for long term plan and results video. It gets overwhelming taking supplements everyday and hoping for the best.

With the exception of winter because we can't fish and get as much exercise he is a 53 year old with a boot camp body. His check up with full treadmill and blood work he has the heart and lungs of a healthy 23 year old. I love him completely and its my job in life to keep him healthy. He is beautiful and I am determined to keep him as long as possible. Yes he he still has high testosterone.

If you fix other nutritional deficiencies, like the magnesium you should probably not need to supplement vit d? If you are getting sun that is.

Boron is AMAZING! Boron is another mineral that has been depleted from soils. I was experiencing left knee and right hip pain for a couple of weeks, thinking that the pain would eventually go away but NO it did not. It was so painful that I couldn’t walk, stand, sit or sleep for long. I was going to make an appointment the following morning to finally see a doctor about it when I thought I would put in my symptoms in KZread search and Boron kept coming up. I went right out and bought some. Within several hours 80 percent of my pains were GONE! The following morning (second pill) 100 percent of my pains went away COMPLETELY! I thought 2 weeks later maybe that daily dosage was no longer needed. And about 2 days later ALL the pains came back. Needless to say I now take 3mg of Boron daily. I have had no bad side effects since I started taking them for 3 years now. I read you can safely take up to 9mg daily. I still only need to take (1) 3mg of Boron daily.
