TestoFuel is aimed at the young weightlifting market, offering a smart stack that increases testosterone AND encourages muscle mass growth. Read on for our TestoFuel Review…
We’ll be honest upfront and say we are very impressed with TestoFuel. It’s an evidence-backed T-booster that helps anabolic growth and gym performance as well as improving libido and motivation, reducing body fat and increasing strength.
Note: This TestoFuel Review has been updated December 2022 to take into account changes in the TestoFuel formula.

Changes in the TestoFuel Formula
NOTE: The TestoFuel formula has been changed since we first reviewed this product. The main changes are:
- Slight reduction in vitamin D3 (5000IU to 4000IU)
- Reduction in magnesium (200mg to 70mg)
- Slight reduction in D-Aspartic Acid (2,300mg to 2,000mg) * Still a bumper amount.
- Addition of Maca Root Extract, 180mg
- Halving of Fenugreek seed extract (100mg to 50mg) * Still the equivalent to 800 mg Fenugreek Seed Powder.
- Addition of Boron (8mg).
It’s not unusual for supplements to tweak their formulas as new science and research reveal new promising ingredients or more potent versions of the originals. If anything, it shows that the supplement is produced by a manufacturer that cares about creating the best formula possible.
So let’s have a look at the current TestoFuel formula.
D-Aspartic Acid
TestoFuel contains a massive amount of D-AA or D-Aspartic Acid, even after losing 300mg of it. D-AA is one of the most effective testosterone-boosting ingredients around, and TestoFuel’s 2,000mg is one of the highest dosages you’ll find in a T-booster.
D-AA, an amino acid, acts as a messenger between the testes and the brain, supercharging the creation of testosterone. In one study, D-AA boosted testosterone levels by up to 42% in 12 days. As well as increasing testosterone, it may also boost growth hormone, which is why TestoFuel is probably the best testosterone supplement for bodybuilders, athletes and anyone following an intense exercise regime.
ZMA Combo
The combination of vitamins and minerals in TestoFuel is even more potent than it looks. For instance:
Vitamin D3 (preferred form for testosterone, 4,000 IU)
+ Vitamin K2 (18 mcg) – proven effective for testosterone synthesis
+ Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate, the ‘male’ mineral, great for sex drive, virility and testosterone
+ Magnesium Aspartate, boosts free and total testosterone
= ZMA.
The combinations and dosages of vitamins and minerals in TestoFuel add up to a mirror of the renowned sports nutrient ZMA. ZMA is known for boosting strength and androgens, and for promoting better sleep and quicker muscle recovery as a result. It’s a very clever combination.
Performance and Libido Enhancers
The remaining ingredients are Asian Red Panax Ginseng (100mg), Fenugreek seed (50mg) oyster extract (100mg), Maca root (180mg) and Boron (8mg).
Oyster extract is a no-brainer, being one of the most generous sources of zinc you’ll find. Not only is it an aphrodisiac (always appreciated, right?) but it has been shown to improve reproductive function, maintain testosterone levels and prevent some of the testosterone from converting to oestrogen.
Ginseng has been found to influence T-levels too, increasing testosterone and derivative DHT as well as LH. It can also improve the nitric acid in your blood, helping you improve your muscle pumps.
Fenugreek is packed full of magnesium, zinc and selenium and tackles SHBG, the protein responsible for ‘chaining’ your testosterone, allowing your free testosterone the, well, freedom, to do its job.
Clinical evidence suggests Maca root is useful as a libido and fertility enhancer, while boron is a proven testosterone booster and libido enhancer.
All four are also potent for the sex drive too and are popular ingredients for a supplement targeting young bodybuilders and athletes.
The Pros
- TestoFuel combines many of our favourite testosterone boosters, such as D-AA.
- TestoFuel’s massive 2,000mg dose of D-AA is unrivalled in most other T-boosting supplements, and should ensure peak testosterone release.
- The ZMA acts as a highly effective muscle booster to complement the testosterone booster.
- In addition, TestoFuel’s performance enhancing ingredients should also improve gym training, and potentially other aspects of bedroom performance.
- Its combination of ingredients has been carefully chosen with the audience in mind. A testosterone-muscle growth combo.
- The majority of ingredients are fully proven.
- TestoFuel offers a 90 day money back guarantee.
The Cons
- D-AA isn’t as potent as the premium form, D-AA-CC, D-Aspartic Acid Calcium Chelate. That said, this much of plain D-AA should more than do the trick.

Who Takes It?
TestoFuel is firmly marketed towards bodybuilders and athletes who want to pack on muscle and train hard. All the ingredients are chosen with this in mind. It’s more for a man in his 20s who wants to bulk up, than for someone in their 30s and beyond who might have declining testosterone levels. Men over 30 would be better with a targeted T-booster, such as Prime Male.
Safety/ Side Effects
The ingredients in TestoFuel are clean and usually well tolerated. It does not contain any stimulants.
Health Warnings
As with most supplements and medicines, we would recommend that anyone on medication or with a medical condition first consult their doctor before taking TestoFuel.
How to Take It
Take four times a day with a meal or snack. You are advised to use it daily for at least two months in order to see optimum results.
Does It Work?
D-AA is THE best testosterone booster around, and TestoFuel contains a MASSIVE dosage, so you do the maths. In a word, yes.
Conclusion
TestoFuel is a slick clever formula that knows its market and chooses its ingredients carefully. A testosterone booster PLUS muscle booster AND a performance enhancer is a winning formula. Perfect for bodybuilders and athletes in their 20s wanting to boost testosterone and muscle mass.
