Red Boost Reviews

Red Boost Ingredients

Horny Goat Weed Extract 500mg - This extract, rich in icariin, has been traditionally used to enhance libido. It supports circulation, stamina, and energy levels. Studies have shown that icariin, found naturally in horny goat weed, may support sexual function and libido, but the quality of these tend to be dubious at best. [1] However, this is within the effective dosage range so, that is definitely a good point for Red Boost powder.

Tongkat Ali Extract 100mg - Tongkat Ali Extract is mostly touted as a supplement to raise testosterone levels, however, it has a lot of potential side effects, has only been shown to work in men with low testosterone, rather than in otherwise healthy men, and even if it were effective, it would need to be dosed a lot higher than 100mg to be at it's optimal range. [2] Despite Red Boost powder's claims around it being a particularly high yield extract, most of the studies used a larger amount and were also similarly high in terms of active ingredients. There are also better alternatives to Tongkat Ali for raising testosterone and it's other functions. 

Maca 300mg - This one as we've said is pretty good, oddly most of the studies are on women's desire, not men's, despite maca's common use in this sort of supplement. But, in general the results are overwhelmingly positive. [3] Meaning that we don't really have have any complaints about this ingredient. And it's also within the functional dosage range, although it is at the lower end.

Stinging Nettle Root Extract 150mg - Stinging nettle may have an impact on male health due to its potential effects on hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. Although it's generally considered one of the less effective options, and is generally used as a filler in better supplements. [4]

L Citrulline 500mg - Citrulline aids in the production of nitric oxide, promoting vascular health and enhancing blood flow, stamina, and performance. The problem is that you need 2-3 grams of it and here we have 4-6 times less than that. Meaning that the amount of L Citrulline in red boost powder is going to do next to nothing and is pretty much a waste of time. [5]

9 Strain Probiotic: This blend of beneficial bacteria promotes efficient digestion and nutrient absorption, indirectly influencing male performance and vitality.

The Beet Root Powder Blend 1500mg - The problem here is that there simply isn't enough beet root powder to actually have very much of it's effects on blood flow and nitric oxide production. Most of the studies [6] on how it impacts healthy blood pressure had much larger dosages as well. And that's if it was 100% of this blend. The fact is that most of the other ingredients present here are in such small doses they're likely to do pretty much nothing at all. However, there are some studies to the contrary as well. A recent study conducted at Penn State's [7] found that drinking beet juice before exercise did not enhance muscle blood flow or vascular dilation during exercise, but it did find that beetroot juice "de-stiffened" blood vessels under resting conditions, suggesting that it may ease the workload of the heart.

Vitamin C 300mg - Vitamin c is of course good for your health, it helps with the growth and repair of tissues and acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin C however can may raise blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, particularly in older women, when taken in high doses above 300 mg per day. It also has the issue of raising the effect of anticoagulants, meaning it does thin the blood, so there's something to the claims here, but at this dose you should be careful if you're taking any medications.
