What Is Power Test?
Power Test is a testosterone booster that is currently sold on the market. It is formulated to increase the size of muscles, cut down on excess body fat and boost your energy levels. It is also supposed to inhibit the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. These results will lead to more results in the gym after working out than what you would see from normal workout routines. There are four different ways that the product is meant to boost testosterone in the body.
First, DHEA is an ingredient in the formula, and is said to be a hormone that allows for the largest amount of free testosterone in the body. DHEA, or Dehydroepiandrosterone, comes from the adrenal gland and leads to the production of androgens and estrogens, or male and female hormones. It is said that levels of DHEA start to decrease after age 30, which in men leads to a lower testosterone level and therefore a decrease in muscle mass, increase of fat, and lower energy levels. However, DHEA is actually a another word for steroid, because that is what it is, and so any supplement that has DHEA in it should be regarded as one. The ingredients work to lower the amount of estrogen in the body and also the enzymes that make testosterone turn into estrogen.
Manufacturer
Power Test is a product of Pro Fight sports. It was founded in the year 2000 in response the need for supplements that would be designed to help athletes with endurance in bodybuilding and other sports. They said they bring quality and high performance results while providing pure ingredients. However, steroids, which is what DHEA is in essence, is not a pure ingredient.
They produce scientifically formulated supplements. You can contact them at their address in California, U.S.A., but there is no indication that this is where their products are produced. It is a good idea, if the manufacturing information and facilities are not given, to look into where the product is made to ensure top production quality. In some countries the quality procedure might not be as high. Also it is good to know and confirm that the ingredients on the product listed are the only ingredients in the product, and that the facilities in which the product was made is healthy with no exposure to other potentially harmful substances or chemicals.
How Power Test Works?
Dosage recommendations on a review of Power test say that you should take the supplements before exercise and also with two eight ounce glasses of water. You should also aim to take four of them every day. You are to take the product for five weeks and then take three weeks off, repeating the cycle. In the off weeks the manufacturer suggests taking another product. However you should always be wary about combining products because of potential negative side effects. If you do this you should monitor the effects closely.
DHEA is a hormone found in the supplement that is said to increase testosterone levels in the body. With decreased DHEA, the production of muscle mass and loss of fat, as well as energy levels in the gym decrease. But the problem with the product is that it basically is a steroid, and therefore will have all of the same negative associations and side effects.
Ingredients of Power Test
The main ingredients in Power Test are DHEA, or Dehydroepiandrosterone, I3C, 20-Hydroxyecdysterone, Eurycoma, Yohimbe, Tribulus, Deer Antler, Ginseng, Epimedium, Longjack, 5, 7-Dihydroxy Flavone, Saw Palmetto, Fenugreek, Dioscin, Di-Indole Methane (DIM), Saponins, and Gracillin. DHEA is the first and primary ingredient listed in the product. DHEA is said to be a a hormone from the adrenal gland that produces androgens in males. As a result of DHEA reduction, testosterone also decreases and therefore the effects of working out. However notice that the product fails to mention that it is steroid-free. It is in fact also known that DHEA is actually essentially a steroid that has been introduced through the ingredient. This means that in this primary ingredient, you can suffer all of the side effects that many have listed for steroids.
There are also other herbal, natural ingredients listed. Fenugreek is a natural ingredient found in the herbaceous plant in the pea family. It is also said to help increase testosterone levels naturally. Longjack is a herb extracted from a shrub called Eurycoma in Asian. It is known to stimulate production of endogenous testosterone in the body and reduce the levels of inactive testosterone. This is done through LH, or Leutinizing Hormone and its pathway. There are other natural ingredients such as Deer Antler, Ginseng, Saw Palmetto, Tribulus and Yohimbe, which is better for the body than harmful chemicals or steroids.
Advantages
The hormone DHEA which is found in the product is said to increase the level of testosterone in the body. The hormone comes from the adrenal gland and produces androgens in men, or their hormones. When the levels of DHEA decrease, the testosterone level in men decreases, leading to more fat, less muscle mass and less energy during workouts and in general. DHEA in the product will raise the levels again in the body to an optimal amount, producing more testosterone. However, it is important to note that the ingredient DHEA is also a form of a steroid, which is not an advantage due to the negative effects on the body.
Also the ingredients supposedly work to lower estrogen in the body and also the factors that turn testosterone into estrogen. Finally, Power Test is said to inhibit SHBG, which is a protein said to inhibit testosterone from being effective. Also there are natural herbs in the product that make the supplement more natural. But the negative effects of steroids far outweigh any positive herbal ingredients.
Certificates
There are no specific certificates for Power Test. However on the manufacturer’s website there is a link to Google, Facebook and Twitter where there is a lot of promotion for its products. There are athletes who are promoting the supplements and they do look fit. But this might be a result of using harmful steroid ingredients in the Pro Fight products. The company is also involved in special events such as beach championships for bodybuilders. There are also reviews from some of the athletes and people that have used the Pro Fight’s supplements.
One said that he had used many supplements over the years but had not seen effectiveness in any products like he had with Pro Fight’s supplements. Another said that every time they use these products they get faster and more certain results. He was able to effectively gain muscle and lose fat. He said he hoped to use the products for the rest of his life. Overall the reviews, videos and photos seem to indicate a good result. Again, however, if steroids are the reason, better to find a supplement that does not have this ingredient.
Testimonials
One online survey for Power Test are generally positive, giving it between seven and eight out of 10 for overall satisfaction, effectiveness and value for the product. However there was no information on how many people were surveyed, and it was not mentioned that steroids are in the product. In one forum a man said that he had been given the recommendation for the product at the gym.
He said that he tried it and also several of his friends had tried it and they saw good results. He hadn’t seen an increase in muscle mass, but he also had been taking the product for only two weeks. Most other like products claim to have visible results after 6-8 weeks. With steroids in the product, you might see visible results, but you might also encounter some of the negative side effects like aesthetic abnormalities such as baldness and prominent breasts as well as acne, and long-term effects such as liver abnormalities and tumors, high blood pressure, heart problems, infertility and mental problems such as depression and rage.
Awards & Media Coverage
There are no awards specific for Power Test or the manufacturer, and no good media coverage for Power Test.

One said that they were able to have a lot more energy during working out with the products, another said that they were able to effectively build muscle.

This was from Guy Grundy, a two-time Mr. Australia and Hollywood actor. Also it is listed that there are experts at Pro Fight that people can talk to and get advice on supplements and workouts. Another said that the product worked if you also put in time at the gym. When taking a supplement make sure to combine it with a good diet and proper exercise and rest.

There is a contact form where you can provide your email address and ask any questions you might have. There is no contact telephone number or other information. However the Facebook site does claim that you can ask experts about the products and other advice. You may want to also use the contact form to ask about this if you have any questions and to avail of this benefit before buying a product. Overall the contact information seems pretty standard.

Pricing
Power Test on the manufacturer’s website is listed at $120.00 for 120 capsules. You may be able to find it cheaper on other sites. You are supposed to take four capsules daily before working out for five weeks. At four capsules per day, one bottle of the product should last 4 weeks for you. So not for the five weeks that are recommended. However with three weeks off recommended for the product in the cycle you can expect to spend just over $120.00 for two months of using the product.
This would mean $60 a month for the product, which is not bad when compared to other supplements. This product includes free shipping so it should be just over $60 per month that you could expect to spend when taking Power Test regularly. There is a money-back guarantee for any of the manufacturer’s products that says you can return it within 20 days and receive a full refund as long as not more than 25% of the bottle was used. Also this refund will be minus a fee of $7.85.
