Description
Test BLACK™ was formulated with a single goal in mind - to maximize natural testosterone production and promote all things male within you. Countless hours were spent on the research and development of Test BLACK™.
Only the best, clinically validated ingredients were painstakingly chosen and dosed at efficacious levels. The final product is.an aggressive, cutting edge formula that enhances test levels, bolsters performance and helps pack on lean, hard muscle.
Take a look at a few key ingredients in Test BLACK's™ open-label formula and see why it is an anabolic animal’s dream come true:
- Boron - Suggested in human clinical research to support free testosterone and decrease estradiol in just 7 days.
- Maca Extract - To help block the body's production of estrogen while boosting testosterone levels.
- Turkesterone - Works by hacking the stress response of your body and regulating a stable balance in the adrenal, hypothalamic as well as pituitary glands. These glands generate hormones separately, which regulate your mood, body’s growth, vision, blood pressure, and many others.
- Tongkat Ali - Encourages favorable hormone balance by combating cortisol and supporting optimal testosterone-to-cortisol ratio within the normal range.
Compare any other so-called “test booster” on the market to Test BLACK™ and you’ll see that it pales in comparison.
No shortcuts were taken and no expense was spared in making Test BLACK™ a potent, test boosting powerhouse.
With Test BLACK™ you will leave weak at the door and total domination will ensue in the gym and on the field. Hands down, Test BLACK™ is sport’s nutrition's most advanced test booster….period!

Supplement Facts
Ingredient Profile
Boron
Boron is what is known as a trace mineral. This means that our bodies benefit from it as a vital nutrient, but only in very, very small trace amounts.
- Boron has been implicated in increasing free testosterone and serum DHT levels.
- At the same time, boron acts as an anti-estrogen and decreases sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG).
- A study conducted by Naghii et al. (2011) found men who supplemented with boron for 7 consecutive days increased free testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels by 28% and 10% respectively, while also decreasing free estrogen levels by 39%.
Zinc
Zinc is vital for several important physiological roles in the body and is needed for many enzymatic reactions including those necessary to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.
- Zinc deficiency has been linked to low IGF-1 Levels and Growth Hormone.
- Zinc also supports optimal testosterone levels and may increase testosterone at rest and after exercise.
- A 2006 study by Killic et al. found wrestlers who supplemented with Zinc for 4 weeks were able to preserve circulating testosterone and thyroid hormone concentrations, which declined in placebo due to the exhaustive workload.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral and electrolyte. It is involved in protein synthesis, ATP formation, metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, and bone strength.
- Magnesium deficiencies are the second most common deficiency in developed countries. A lack of magnesium will raise blood pressure and reduce insulin sensitivity.
- Increases in free and total testosterone have been noted in sedentary and athletic populations when supplementing with magnesium supplementation. It also acts as a muscle relaxer and may improve aerobic performance.
- Brilla et al. (1992) discovered 26 untrained subjects who participated in a 7-week strength training program in conjunction with magnesium supplementation were able to increase testosterone relative to baseline.
Vitamin B6
B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that is important to various metabolic reactions that occur in the body. It is also a coenzyme for protein metabolism and the nervous and immune system function.
- B6 is also involved in the synthesis of hormones and red blood cells.
- Vitamin B6 may have some benefits with regard to increasing the rate of synthesis of testosterone.
- B6 may also be able to increase levels of growth hormone.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is associated with a wide range of benefits, including increased cognition, immune health, bone health, and well-being.
- Supplementation can also reduce the risks of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.
- People deficient in vitamin D may also experience increased testosterone levels after supplementation.
FAQs
Q: What is the best way to take Test BLACK?
A: As a dietary supplement, take one serving (3 capsules) in the morning with 8-10oz of water.
Q: Do natural testosterone boosters really work?
A: Yes, depending upon the right ingredients being used. The ingredients in Test BLACK have been confirmed by research to support increased natural testosterone levels.
Q: What other MuscleSport products do you recommend stacking with Test BLACK?
A: If putting on lean, hard muscle is the goal, we recommend stacking Test BLACK with Rhino Black, AminoREV, Lean Whey, and cycling with Life Shield for on-cycle and/or post-cycle therapy.
