Supplements for 13 year old athlete

Yeah, no such thing as a test booster. If a supplement boosted testosterone, the pituitary gland would sense this and shut down stimulation of the testes to bring the levels back down. So… nothing is accomplished. You can’t trick the HPTA into producing more test without causing a feedback loop that concurrently shuts test production down.

The only test boosters that work are actually steroids or “pro-hormones” that will screw up a healthy HPTA axis and possibly result in low-T for life.

I was clear in the post that I’m not talking about gear or sarms. Nothing that would shut down. Not sure why someone mentioned that. I’m talking about supplements that do the opposite and increase natural testosterone output. Tongkat Ali is one of the few things that has been shown to boost natural testosterone production by up to 10%. Now I know that’s not much. For us older guys that’s not enough to make any difference. If your test is at 300 ng/dl. Getting it up 10% to 330ng/dl isn’t gonna help you. I’m asking if anyone knows whether it would be harmful to take a supplement that helps encourage natural testosterone output at that age. This is the “questions about supplements” category not “questions about steroids”.
