MAN ALIVE with Dr Jeff Foster | Men's Health Podcast

The world of supplements is confusing and filled with contradictory information. How can men know if the supplements promising testosterone increases online are beneficial or a waste of money?
NHS GP and leading men's health specialist Dr Jeff Foster tests the most popular testosterone supplements and gives his honest ranking.
Dr Jeff Foster explores the evidence for ashwagandha, shilajit, tongkat ali, creatine, turkesterone, lion's mane, fenugreek, D-aspartic acid and tribulus terrestris (as well as vitamins like vitamin D) and puts them in a tier list based on their effectiveness in increasing testosterone levels for men.
