5 Supplements Scientifically PROVEN to Boost

Testosterone by Over 20% in 4 Weeks


___________________________

The first and most important thing to say is everyone wants a “magic bullet.” But please
remember that most of your success comes from what you do, not what you buy. It would
be irresponsible of me to claim otherwise. With that said and understood, the science is
clear on these 5 supplements.

When I work with people one-on-one, I ask them to chuck out all the other crap in their
cabinet and focus on buying the highest-quality versions of these supplements they can
get. I have also included the brands I use myself. These include affiliate and non-affiliate
link versions.

Vitamin K2 MK4
Simmo Recommends: Health Natura K2 MK4 (No Aff Link here)
Dosage: 4-8 drops (topical only)
Timing: split up into 2 doses (morning and lunch)

Vitamin E
Simmo Recommends: Health Natura Vitamin E (No Aff link here)
Dosage: 10 drops daily (topical only)
Timing: lunch or dinner only (must be taken away from K2)

Aspirin
Simmo Recommends: Health Natura USP Grade Aspirin (No Aff link here)
Dosage: No more than 100mg daily
Timing: lunch or dinner only (must be taken with food)

Vitamin A (Retinol)
Simmo Recommends: Health Natura Retinyl Palmitate (No Aff link here)
Dosage: 1-3 drops daily (topical only)
Timing: breakfast, lunch or dinner only (must be taken with food)

Vitamin D3
Simmo Recommends: Health Natura D3 (No Aff Link here)
Dosage: 1-2 drops daily (topical only)
Timing: morning or lunch
MINDSET SHIFT: Both scientific study and human anecdotal evidence back these up.
My philosophy on supplements is similar to my philosophy on food. It’s a game of
probabilities. Cheap food is all but guaranteed to be full of harmful things like antibiotics
and pesticides. That’s how they make it cheap. You don’t really know for sure what’s in
cheap supplements, but they’re probably not as effective as expensive ones from
reputable brands. Taco Bell Vs. the farmer’s market. Consume accordingly.

Animal Studies

The following supps are proven to improve testosterone in animal and human studies..

Creatine - Creapure Creatine - 1-2g taken orally (morning only)


Shilajit - Lajit Gold Grade Resin - ¼ teaspoon morning
B Vitamin - Idealabs Energin - 10 drops a day (oral)
Taurine - Sol Supps Taurine - 1-2g taken before meals

The superior form of D3 to supplementation?

Sun is #1. Get naked and get outside as much as you can. It’s unbeatable. If you live in
colder latitudes, for the winter months, I recommend a Sperti vitamin D lamp. 10x more
effective than a supplement.
Why the other supplements you’ve been told are “essential” aren’t
all they’re cracked up to be:

Most supplements are taken in isolation without the relevant "cofactors" that help your
body assimilate them properly so it can take advantage of the entourage effect.

For example, where you find zinc in high doses (like in Oysters), you also get an
abundance of copper.

Whereas, with nearly all zinc supplements I’ve reviewed, 99% of them don’t include
copper.

And it’s absolutely crucial that zinc and copper are paired together so you maximize on
benefit, and minimize on nasty side effects.

You need to appreciate if your body isn’t receiving the full spectrum of ingredients as it
would in nature, it won’t absorb them effectively and you’ll be left with expensive piss.

Solution?

Aim to take most of your supplements with food (morning/lunch is best to avoid sleep
disruption).

Magnesium and Shilajit are fine to take away from food.

The “TOSS IT OUT” Checklist

How to tell if your supp is good quality:

Avoid Asian sources


No additives or fillers
Liquids are in tinted glass
Usually sourced in US or Europe

The Dangers of Poor Sourcing and Weak Ingredient Analysis


Until the FDA chose to responsibly monitor what goes into supplements, it’s a free-for-all.
If you are buying supplements beyond the 5 specific brands I recommend above, then
watch out for the following:

● Magnesium Silicate – often used in deodorant and cosmetics, this additive is


similar in composition to asbestos and is not currently considered food grade by
the FDA.
● Titanium Dioxide – this toxic additive is a colorant used to make tablets and
capsules bright white and is typically used in paint, cosmetics, paper, and
sunscreen. This filler has no nutritional value and has been proven to cause
intestinal damage.
● Dicalcium Phosphate – often used to bulk out capsules, this cheap form of calcium
is not easily absorbed by the body and can end up in places you don’t want it too.
● Sodium Benzoate – used to prolong the life of supplements, this additive becomes
the carcinogen substance known as benzene when mixed with vitamin C. Ingesting
foods or beverages containing high levels of benzene can cause issues such as
stomach irritation, tiredness, dizziness, and even vomiting and convulsions.
● Sodium Ascorbate – unless it says differently on the label, this is made from GMO
corn. GMO corn is heavily exposed to harmful pesticides and should be avoided.
● Ascorbyl Palmitate – see above. It’s likely this also comes from GMO corn.
● Cornstarch – and yet another GMO ingredient! Avoid, avoid, avoid.
● Potassium Sorbate – another additive used to extend the shelf life of food and
supplements that can lead to migraines and allergic reactions in sensitive people.
● Magnesium stearate and stearic acid – used in 90% of supplements to speed up
the manufacturing process and keep costs down, this additive is often derived from
animals and has no nutritional benefit.
● Sulfites – sulfites are known to cause severe asthma reactions and are also a
common trigger for migraines.
● Carrageenan – found in many supposedly healthy food items, carrageenan is used
to thicken products but can cause some major gastrointestinal distress.
● Hydrogenated Oils – also found in highly processed foods, these health-damaging
oils contain trans fats, which are known to oxidize easily in the body and can be
extremely destructive to your cardiovascular system. According to the FDA
2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans: “As of June 2018, partially
hydrogenated oils (PHOs), the major source of artificial trans fat in the food supply,
are no longer Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS).”
● Soybean Oil – the problem with this oil is that it often comes from genetically
modified soy that’s been heavily exposed to chemical pesticides during
production. Soybean oil can also cause problems for people with a peanut or soy
allergy.
● Artificial Colors– added simply to make your supplements look more appealing,
many of the bright colors used for supplements have been linked to increased
allergies and various cancers, while others are derived from coal tar, a toxic
substance used for roofing and exterior paints. No, thank you!
