The Bottom Line

If you’re just beginning your search for a natural testosterone booster, you’re in for wild ride. You’ll be met with many many scams and shams, but if you’re diligent and you do your homework, you can end up with a great product that gives you the vitality – both in the gym and in the bedroom – that you’re looking for.

In this review, we’ll discuss the possibility that Alpha X Boost is the one.

Declining Testosterone

When you were a teenager, there was more testosterone running through your body than you knew what to do with. It had a hand in changing your voice, putting hair on your chest, making you grow 6 inches taller over one summer, and allowing you to build muscle on your formerly twiggy frame. It also started your lifelong relationship with your sex drive.

But as you get older, starting in your early to mid twenties, your testosterone levels decline year after year.

You can usually start to notice in your mid-thirties. By that time, workouts start getting a little harder, it becomes harder to achieve the same results you used to, and your libido – even your erections – start to become less prevalent.

It’s natural to be sure, but it’s not pleasant. For most men though, it’s not a big enough problem for medical intervention. Fortunately, there is another option, and that’s natural testosterone boosting supplements. These pills don’t contain any actual testosterone. Instead, they attempt to increase your body’s natural production of the hormone, while some of their ingredients mimic the effects of increased testosterone.

This is the general premise of Alpha X Boost. Now let’s dive in and find out if this is one keepers or just another scam.

Alpha X Boost Benefits

Alpha X Boost promises to deliver all the benefits of increased testosterone, with none of the pitfalls of actual hormone replacement therapy.

You’ll see:

• Increased libido.
• Greater sexual stamina.
• More endurance in the gym.
• Greater muscle tone and strength.
• Fat loss.
• Even improve mood and motivation.

How Alpha X Boost Works

Alpha X Boost has an official website where they make it sound exceedingly simple to achieve these benefits. In fact, it all happens in three easy steps – only the first of which requires any action on our part:

1. Step One – Take Alpha X Boost pills.
2. Step Two – The ingredients spread through your body, increasing free testosterone levels.
3. Step Three – Get more energy, more muscle mass with greater tone, less body fat, increased drive, and dynamite sexual performance.

They mention free testosterone, and this is an important distinction to understand. When you get your T levels tested, you’re given two separate numbers – one for total testosterone and one for free testosterone. A high total testosterone number is great, but free testosterone is what really matters.

Some of the T in your system become bound with Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (or SHBG). When this happens, it can no longer be used by your body, to the point where it’s essentially useless. For this reason, while it is partially a function of total testosterone, free testosterone is really the number that matters.

Alpha X Boost claims to boost that free testosterone and provide you with all the benefits that come along with it.

Of course all testosterone boosters make these same claims, but what really matters is whether or not it works, and the first thing we do to figure that out is check out the formula.

Alpha X Boost Ingredients

I’m not gonna lie – this is where things start breaking down pretty quickly. The website doesn’t highlight the formula at all – just the benefits. But they do provide a link at which they list the ingredients. It’s not a full on image of the Supplement Facts, it’s just a list, and a little hard to read at that. See below for a more detailed explanation:

Truthfully, this is a very odd way to disclose the ingredient list in a supplement formula. Most products will make a distinction between active ingredients and additional ingredients (what’s involved in making the capsule or pill itself), but Alpha X Boost doesn’t make this distinction. The very first ingredient – Microcrystalline Cellulose – doesn’t provide any testosterone benefit; it’s involved in the capsule making process.

Regardless of the odd way it’s presented, we do have an ingredient list, so let me share with you the primary actives and how they should work. They are all included in a primary blend, so we don’t know how much of each is used, but they include:

• Horny Goat Weed Extract (aka Epimedium Sagittatum) which is mainly included for the sexual benefits it can provide. Not only is it an aphrodisiac for boosting libido, but it also increases blood flow to your genitals for better erections during sex. In fact, it’s commonly referred to as “Chinese Viagra”.
• Tongkat Ali which may increase free testosterone by inhibiting the action of SHBG, which is the stuff we talked about earlier that binds to testosterone making it useless.
• Saw Palmetto which is generally used to relieve the symptoms of an enlarged prostate and to generally support prostate health.
• Orchic Substance which comes from bull testicles and may improve testicle health in humans, which is important for testosterone production.
• Wild Yam Extract which supports a healthy balance of sex hormones in both men and women.
• Sarsaparilla which may act as a natural aphrodisiac.
• Nettle Extract which may increase free testosterone in a number of ways, mainly inhibiting both SHBG and Aromatase. Aromatase is an enzyme that converts free testosterone into estrogen. By inhibiting its action, you’re left with more free testosterone for your body to work with.
• Boron Amino Acid Chelate which also inhibits Aromatase, allowing more of your testosterone to remain effective in your body.

As far as testosterone boosting formulas go, the components of Alpha X Boost are pretty decent. The biggest ingredient that I’d like to see but don’t is D Aspartic Acid, which has the most promising proven track record in terms of actually boosting testosterone numbers.

Aside from that, there are a good number of testosterone boosting ingredients in the list, but we’re still left with one outstanding issue in terms of the formula. The fact that all the active ingredients are listed within a proprietary blend means that we don’t know how much of each is included. This can be problematic because in many cases, certain doses have been demonstrated effective, and if the formula contains much less than these, it can be basically useless.

Next after the formula, it’s important to look at customer feedback to see how a product is actually working on real people in the real world. Unfortunately, this is another downfall for Alpha X Boost. After much searching, we did not find a single piece of independent feedback from a customer that’s used it.

The Free Trial – Is Alpha X Boost Really Free?

Alpha X Boost, like hundreds of other supplements, is only available for purchase through their official website, and the only package you can order is the “Free Trial”. Beware of this setup. Just like so many others, this is indeed a SCAM.

The free trial supplement scam is extremely pervasive in this industry, so much so that I’ve written about it in my comprehensive article: Free Trial Supplement Scams – The Ugly Truthhttps://www.supplementcritique.com/free-trial-supplement-scams-the-ugly-truth/

Specifically in the case of Alpha X Boost, the answer is NO, IT’S NOT FREE. Here’s how it works.

You read about this great new supplements online after it shows up in your Facebook or Twitter feed. (By the way, it’s no coincidence that it shows up there. Once you start searching for testosterone boosters online, they know you’re a captive audience and they target their ads to your tastes).

While you’re reading, you see a banner urging you to hurry up and claim your bottle. When you click through, you see this incredible offer where you get to try a whole bottle for just the $4.95 price of shipping.

Actually, unless you notice the checked-by-default box adding Shipping Protection, you’ll be paying an extra $1.99 for that. Clearly, this company will get you any way they can.

But the extra $1.99 is the least of your worries. By signing up for the free trial offer, you’re actually signing up for a monthly delivery service for which you get the privilege of paying $93.78 each and every month, and this subscription begins 14 days from the date of your original order unless you call and cancel prior to that.

Despite the fact that something automatic delivery can be a great thing, there are some very big problems with this particular setup:

1. There is no obvious disclosure of the fact that you’re signing up for monthly deliveries. It’s not even mentioned in small print on the order page, nor do they require you to check a box stating that you’ve read the Terms and Conditions. The only way you’d know about the subscription is if you took it upon yourself to find and read the Terms and Condition document. If you do, you’ll see this:

2. $93?! For this stuff?! Not even close to worth it.

Most customers are completely blindsided by the first and subsequent charges to their account. Once they see them, they begin the process of trying to stop them and maybe even get refunded for previous charges, and when they do this, they are usually met with difficulty. Nobody answers at the customer service number, they’re put on hold for half an hour or more, and once they do get through, the representative tries to convince them to continue the deliveries at a discounted rate.

The whole thing is a huge hassle on top of the lost money.

Pros and Cons

Advantages of Alpha X Boost

• The formula is natural and likely to be safe.

Disadvantages of Alpha X Boost

• Ingredient amounts are not disclosed.
• It’s only sold through the free trial scam which.
• The terms of the trial are not readily disclosed.
• Alpha X Boost is extremely expensive, much more so than it should be based on the formula.
• It was not seen on Shark Tank, despite the numerous claims.

The Bottom Line

Products like Alpha X Boost are a dime a dozen. In fact, they’re so common and some companies have been doing this for so long, they don’t even spend the time to produce original marketing.

Take a look at what appears at the top of the website:

Now take a look at the top of the website for a different product called Testo Boost X:

Notice any similarities? This should be a red flag, guys. These companies aren’t even trying anymore. Thanks to the internet, they know they can get enough new customers unfamiliar with how the scam works to make it worth their while to slap together a product, give it a name and bottle, recycle old marketing, and make a killing.

Don’t fall for this one. And if you already did, call them at 800-318-3418 ASAP and cancel your subscription. Alpha X Boost is not worth the time, the hassle, or the money you’ll lose by getting involved with its free trial scam.
