Testofuel Warnings – Updated By A Licensed Pharmacist
By: Dr. Brian Straub, Pharm.D.
Testofuel is the best testosterone booster we’ve ever tested, and we’ve tested dozens.
With that said, like any other supplement it does have to potential to cause some interactions with prescription medications.
We had our in-house pharmacist go over the formula, and here are his findings.
