Testosterone Support

Testosterone is a steroid hormone that is present in the bodies of both men and women, although men have higher concentrations of it. Testosterone is made in the testes, ovaries, and adrenal glands and is derived from cholesterol. It is primarily responsible for the development of the male reproductive system and also plays a role in body hair growth, muscle mass, fat distribution, voice depth, and libido. In the body, some testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone, which plays a role in prostate enlargement and baldness, and estradiol, which is a type of estrogen.

It is normal for testosterone levels to decrease with age. This can be a result of declining testicular function as well as modifiable lifestyle factors, like how much you are exercising. However, some men have low testosterone independent of this age-related decline. And while there are many possible causes for low testosterone (alcohol abuse, diabetes, genetic disorders, metabolic disorders, medications, trauma, etc.), some men may never discover what is causing it in them. Low testosterone is a medical condition that should be treated with the guidance of a healthcare professional.

There are a variety of symptoms you may be experiencing that could indicate you have low testosterone. Having little interest in sex or having difficulty getting or maintaining an erection are two of the sexual symptoms related to low testosterone. However, there are also more nonspecific symptoms such as low energy, depression, decreased muscle mass, increased fat mass, and decreased body hair. If you have any of these symptoms, you should talk to your healthcare provider about whether you may be suffering from low testosterone.

If you think you may have low testosterone, you should talk to a healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider will likely ask many questions to find out more about your medical history, your risk factors, and your symptoms. A blood test can then diagnose whether or not you have low testosterone. Your testosterone levels change throughout the day and are generally highest in the morning, so it is likely that your healthcare provider will ask you to do the blood test between 8:00am and 10:00am, and that they will do this twice to confirm the diagnosis. Once you have the results, your healthcare provider will be able to counsel you on the next best steps for you. If you do have low testosterone, your healthcare provider may try to figure out the cause or may suggest treating you with testosterone replacement therapy or other therapies to increase testosterone levels.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement is a mix of six main ingredients, including vitamin D3, zinc, magnesium, copper, ashwagandha, and maca. Roman chose these ingredients because five of them have individually been shown to have beneficial effects in some studies (the sixth, copper, does not have these effects but is recommended to be taken in combination with high doses of zinc supplementation). These beneficial effects include improving sexual functioning, increasing libido, improving semen quality, and raising testosterone levels. In some cases, the evidence is limited because studies have only been done in vitro, in animals, or in small human clinical trials. And in other cases, these effects were only noted in men who had specific vitamin deficiencies. All six ingredients are generally well tolerated and some are important for overall health as well. And in some cases, like with vitamin D, evidence suggests that a significant portion of the society is deficient and could benefit from supplementation. One older study also found that hospitalized patients have a high rate of magnesium deficiency. Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement isn’t intended to treat low testosterone and isn’t a substitute for treatments prescribed by your healthcare provider.

One study in older, overweight males demonstrated that 8 weeks of supplementation with ashwagandha extract increased levels of DHEA-S (a steroid hormone that helps make testosterone) and testosterone. Other limited studies have shown that supplementation is associated with improved muscle strength, increased muscle size, decreased body fat percentage, and improved semen quality. However, ashwagandha has not been evaluated by the FDA and further studies need to be done to better understand its effects and optimal dosing.

Maca has not been found to play a role in testosterone levels. However, limited studies have found that maca is associated with improved sexual performance scores, libido, and semen quality. However, maca has not been evaluated by the FDA and further studies need to be done to better understand the effects and optimal dosing of maca.

Magnesium is necessary for the normal functioning of several bodily processes. One study that looked at the effects of magnesium supplementation in both sedentary and athletic individuals found that testosterone levels increased after 4 weeks. Another study found that magnesium levels in men ages 65 and older are closely associated with testosterone levels. However, magnesium has not been evaluated by the FDA as a treatment for low testosterone and further studies need to be done to better understand the effects and optimal dosing of magnesium.

Vitamin D is necessary for the normal functioning of several bodily processes. One study on overweight men who had a vitamin D deficiency found that after a year of supplementation with vitamin D, testosterone levels increased. Another small study found that supplementation with vitamin D was associated with increased testosterone levels and improved erectile function. However, vitamin D has not been evaluated by the FDA as a treatment for low testosterone and further studies need to be done to better understand the effects and optimal dosing of vitamin D.

Zinc is necessary for the normal functioning of several bodily processes. One study found that restriction of zinc led to a decline in testosterone levels, while supplementation in those who were zinc-deficient led to increased testosterone levels. Another very limited study has shown that zinc supplementation is associated with improved semen quality and a study in rats indicated that zinc supplementation may be associated with improved sexual competence. However, zinc has not been evaluated by the FDA as a treatment for low testosterone and further studies need to be done to better understand the effects and optimal dosing of zinc.

There are many different supplements on the market that advertise that they support healthy testosterone levels in men. While some individual ingredients may overlap between Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement and other brands, not all formulations are exactly the same. All six ingredients and their dosages in Roman’s supplement were individually selected and specifically chosen.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement was not tested against or compared to any other products. Roman makes no claims about how this pack will affect your body compared to other testosterone support supplements.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The supplement has not been tested in any clinical trials and there is no guarantee that taking the supplement will lead to an increase of testosterone in your body. Moreover, the supplement itself is not testosterone nor is it a precursor to testosterone. Rather, the supplement is made of plants, vitamins, and minerals that have been shown to naturally raise testosterone levels or otherwise impact the sexual health of men in some studies at certain dosages when tested individually.

If you do suffer from low testosterone, this supplement is not a treatment for your condition. You should talk to your healthcare provider about the best next steps in treatment. You may require treatment with testosterone replacement therapy or a different intervention.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The supplement has not been tested in any clinical trials and there is no guarantee that taking the supplement will lead to an improvement in your sexual stamina or functioning. While some of the ingredients in Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement have individually been shown to improve libido and sexual functioning in men in some studies, this specific supplement has not been tested. That being said, some men may find that their stamina and performance during sex do improve after taking this supplement.

You should take four tablets of Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement daily. The tablets can be taken all at once or you can take them in divided doses throughout the day. To facilitate the absorption of vitamin D, it is recommended that you take the supplement with food.

To assess tolerability, you may want to begin by taking one to two tablets per day. Depending on the side effects you may be experiencing (if any), you can then gradually work your way up to the full dose.

It is not recommended that you take more than four tablets of Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement per day. Doing so may increase your chance of experiencing side effects and may even be dangerous for your health. The Institute of Medicine publishes the Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) for many nutrients. The UL indicates the “maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects” for these nutrients. Four of the ingredients in Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement (vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, and copper) have published ULs. Taking more than the recommended four tablets per day may, therefore, increase your chances of experiencing side effects. Additionally, this supplement should not be taken in combination with other supplements that contain vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, or copper.

If you accidentally miss a dose, you can either take it when you remember or you can wait until the next day to resume the supplement. It does not matter what time of day you take the supplement. However, to avoid going over the Tolerable Upper Intake Levels for vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, and copper, you should not take more than four tablets in a 24-hour period.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement has not been tested to establish a side effect profile. However, based on the individual ingredients in the supplement, possible side effects include altered menstrual cycles, altered mood, cramping, difficulty sleeping, drowsiness, fatigue, gastrointestinal discomfort, and loose stools. Rarer, but more serious side effects may also occur. If you are experiencing worrisome symptoms, stop taking the supplement immediately and speak to your healthcare provider.

It is safe for women to take Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement. However, the supplement is potentially dangerous during pregnancy, so women of child-bearing age should avoid taking the supplement unless they know they are not pregnant. Additionally, many of the benefits this supplement is designed for (improved sexual function, increased libido, improved semen quality, and higher testosterone levels) have only ever been tested in men, so it is unclear what the effects of this supplement may be in women.

One concern with taking testosterone replacement therapy is that the artificially introduced testosterone can suppress the body’s drive to create its own natural testosterone. As a result, when testosterone replacement therapy is abruptly stopped, there may be a period of time that the body is producing less testosterone than it is capable of.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement works differently in the body than testosterone replacement therapy. Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement contains specific nutrients that are thought to naturally support testosterone production. The support pack does not contain testosterone and will not suppress the body’s production of testosterone the way that taking testosterone replacement therapy will. However, if you have an underlying vitamin D, zinc, or magnesium deficiency, you may recognize that symptoms of those deficiencies return after stopping this supplement.

The best way to support testosterone levels in the body is to stay as healthy as possible overall. Eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy body weight, and sleeping enough each day are all ways to make sure your body is functioning at its peak. If you have low testosterone because of a medical condition, working with your healthcare provider to treat the underlying condition may be the best way to improve your levels. If you have low testosterone as a side effect of a medication you are taking, talk to your healthcare provider about your concerns to see if switching to an alternative medication could be right for you.

Testosterone replacement therapy is a treatment for those with low testosterone and must be prescribed by a healthcare provider. Never attempt to obtain testosterone on your own and always talk to your healthcare provider about everything you are taking. While testosterone replacement therapy may be indicated in some patients, it can be dangerous in others or when used improperly.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement is not a treatment for low testosterone. If your healthcare provider has determined that testosterone replacement therapy would be right for you, this supplement is not an appropriate substitute.
