Thorne Advanced Testosterone Support

Hormone Support Thorne Advanced Testosterone Support Two capsules carry four actives, each targeting a different part of the same system: 500 mg of PrimaVie shilajit, 150 mg of luteolin phytosome, 120 mg of Shoden ashwagandha at 35% withanolide glycosides, and 15 mg of zinc as bisglycinate chelate. The formula supports your body's own testosterone production rather than supplying a hormone.* Testosterone declines naturally at roughly 1 to 2% per year in men between 30 and 40, and Thorne notes that total testosterone levels across the male population have fallen over the past two decades, including in younger men. Every ingredient here is a named, trademarked extract, and the label is fully transparent with no proprietary blend hiding the amounts. Shilajit 500 mg PrimaVie, per 2 capsules Luteolin Phytosome 150 mg Bound to sunflower phospholipids Ashwagandha 120 mg Shoden, 35% withanolide glycosides Zinc 15 mg Bisglycinate chelate Fully transparent label Four named extracts Gluten, dairy and soy free The Actives Four Ingredients, Four Different Angles Each of these has its own documented mechanism. Together they cover production, conversion, and the mineral cofactor the process depends on. 🪨 PrimaVie Shilajit Shilajit is decomposed plant matter fermented by soil organisms over thousands of years, which seeps from cracks in Himalayan rock. It contains urolithins, humic acids including fulvic acid, and 40 different minerals, running 20 to 40% mineral while staying low in heavy metals. PrimaVie is the purified, organic, trademarked form and has been the subject of several studies. 500 mg · 40 minerals 🌸 Luteolin Phytosome Luteolin is a flavonoid structurally similar to sex hormones like testosterone, close enough to bind to the same receptors, and it supports a healthy testosterone-to-estrogen ratio.* Here it is bound to sunflower phospholipids as a phytosome, which is done to improve absorption. Sourced from Japanese Sophora bud. 150 mg · Phospholipid-bound 🌿 Shoden Ashwagandha A high-potency extract standardized to 35% withanolide glycosides, drawn from both the leaves and the roots so a broader range of withanolides is present. The higher bioactive percentage is why 120 mg is sufficient where other extracts need more. It supports healthy testosterone levels and maintains healthy DHEA-S levels.* 120 mg · Root and leaf ⚙️ Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate Low zinc has been associated with low testosterone and with decreased sperm production, which makes it the cofactor worth getting right rather than an afterthought. This is Albion Z-life zinc bisglycinate chelate, zinc bound to glycine for absorption. 15 mg · Albion Z-life What Healthy Levels Support Why The Number Matters Beyond The Gym 📊 Body composition and lean mass Composition ❤️ Libido and sexual function Sexual health 💪 Reduced muscle fatigue Training 🩸 Endothelial function and blood flow Circulation 🧠 Mental performance and mood Cognition 🔬 Sperm number and function Fertility ⚖️ Healthy DHEA-S levels Adrenal 🔄 Testosterone-to-estrogen ratio Balance Full Spec Sheet Specifications Supplement Facts (Per 2 Capsules) Serving size 2 capsules Servings per container 30 Zinc (as Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate) 15 mg Shilajit extract 500 mg Luteolin Phytosome 150 mg, from Japanese Sophora (Styphnolobium japonicum) bud extract with phospholipid complex from sunflower Ashwagandha extract (root, leaf), Withania somnifera 120 mg Formula & Product Details Other ingredients Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Calcium Laurate, Leucine Shilajit source PrimaVie, purified and organic Zinc source Albion Z-life Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate Max.

Unit count 60 capsules Origin Made in the USA from US and imported ingredients Dietary Gluten free, dairy free, soy free Questions Frequently Asked Questions How much do I take? + Two capsules daily, or as recommended by your health-care practitioner. The bottle holds 60 capsules, so 30 days per bottle. Does this contain testosterone? + No. There is no hormone in the formula. The four actives are shilajit, luteolin phytosome, ashwagandha, and zinc, and they are there to support your body's own production of testosterone.* If I get tested, does the time of day matter? + Yes, and it is one of the more common reasons for a misleading result. Testosterone levels are highest in the morning and decline as the day goes on, so testing later in the day can show a lower number than a morning draw would. What else can lower testosterone? + Thorne lists the natural aging process, being overweight or obese, stress, testing later in the day, medical conditions including diabetes and kidney or liver disease, and medications such as statins, blood pressure medication, antidepressants, and opiates. Why is zinc in a testosterone formula? + Low zinc levels have been associated with low testosterone and decreased sperm production, which makes zinc status a prerequisite rather than an extra. The 15 mg here is zinc bisglycinate chelate, zinc bound to glycine for absorption. What does 35% withanolide glycosides mean? + Withanolide glycosides are the bioactive compounds in ashwagandha. The Shoden extract used here is standardized to 35% of them and draws on both root and leaf, so a broader range of withanolides is present. The higher concentration is why 120 mg does the work that a weaker extract would need more of. Are there any warnings or interactions? + This product is contraindicated in anyone with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Do not use if pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive. Thorne reports no known adverse interactions or contraindications as of the label's publication date. * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
