There comes a time when each supplement company needs to expand its horizons and try to create a new product that is unique and different than all the other products on the market.   This is what I feel like Applied Nutriceuticals attempted to do with their testosterone booster Free Test.  After the negative side effects began to outweigh the positives for many of the pro-hormone products the search for the next great testo-booster began.

There has been more focus these days on increasing the levels of free testosterone within the body.  Free Testosterone is not bound to anythig in the body which means that it can flow freely throughout the body.  The free testosterone is able to help out instantly during workouts.  This can be useful because an added boost during a workout can been noticed in strength gains, faster recovery times, and an increase in lean muscle mass.

The only catch is that free testosterone only accounts for about 2% of the total testosterone in the body.  So it can still be beneficial to raise the free testosterone levels but it is not addressing the issue head on.

Does it effectively increase your testosterone levels?

Free Test works by inhibiting the receptors that convert testosterone into estrogen.  The endogenous receptors are those that breakdown and lower the body’s free testosterone levels.  The idea is this, if you stop the body from breaking down the testosterone that it is already producing then naturally the testosterone levels in the body are going to increase.  So what Free Test does, is prohibits the production of estrogen, which will increase testosterone levels.

Is it highly recommended by people who try it?

There was a pilot study that was preformed ‘in house’ at Applied Nutriceuticals that used 6 people and they tested the levels of free testosterone before and after taking Free Test.  The ages of the participants ranged from 18-46.  The majority of the participants were in their mid 30’s.  Often times early to mid 30’s is when many man begin to notice that their testosterone levels are beginning to drop.   The study showed that Free Test did indeed increase the free testosterone levels while blocking the production of estrogen and cortisol.

Is it safe to use?

Yes, Free Test is considered a safe product.  It contains mostly B vitamins as well as a 2722mg proprietary blend that they call Free Testosterone Activation Synergists (FTAS).  The proprietary blend consists of seven different ingredients.  Of these seven ingredients it looked like the majority of them did not actually increase testosterone production.  Instead they helped support the growth of lean muscle, recovery time and some of the ingredients were in fact antioxidants.  So even though Free Test claims that its FTAS proprietary blend will help increase production of testosterone it appears as if it mainly inhibits the conversion of free testosterone to estrogen instead of improving and increasing the actual testosterone produced in the body.

Does it have a reasonable price?

Applied Nutriceuticals sells Free Test on their website for $60, I was able to find a bottle of 100 capsules for about $35 on the web.  With the price ranging from anywhere between $35-60 and no money back guarantee it is hard to recommend this product.  Even if you are looking to raise your Free Testosterone levels there are better testosterone supplements that are sold in the market today that are more effective and which offer more bang for your buck.
