What is Prime Male?
Prime Male is a test booster that has been especially formulated using 12 of the best testo boosting ingredients currently available on the market to effectively stimulate natural testosterone production in the body. We delve into this male enhancement supplement to understand whether is could be a good fit for you.
Who manufacturers Prime Male
Prime Male is manufactured by a company called Propura Ltd which is located in 145-157 St John Street, London. As far as I can see, it was founded in 2015. there’s no business number or business hours posted. There is one review posted that suggest the company is a scam and comments that they have “The worst customer service in the world”. No suggestion about the products at all.
Who is Prime Male Made For?
As you get older the is a natural decline in testosterone levels. Prime Male is formulated especially for those individuals 30 years and older whose Testosterone levels are naturally on the decline.
According to their website
PrimeMale has been formulated for men age 30 and older who want to regain some of the energy, vitality, and sex drive they had in their youth – and sidestep the health issues that low testosterone can trigger.
These health problems can include uncontrolled blood sugar levels, blood pressure, mood swings, depression, belly fat, cardiovascular issues, and loss of bone density – leaving them more susceptible to fractures.
Prime Male Ingredients Label
Prime Male boast that they include the 12 most important testosterone boosting ingredient list when it comes to stimulating natural testosterone. Here are they ingredients.
Vitamin D3 (5000IU)
Often referred to as the “Sunshine” vitamin, vitamin D is produced in our bodies when we spend time out in the sunshine. If you live in a climate where you don’t get sun year round then supplementing with Vitamin D could no only in helping the body with the up take of calcium but also might increase testosterone levels.
Vitamin K2 (as Menaquinone-7) (45mcg)
Vitamin K is found to surpress inflammation and a deficiency in Vitamin K has shown a corresponding decrease in testosterone levels in rats [source]. It has been also shown to support vitamin D3 to help stop the calcification of arteries. It may help to lower blood pressure and promote bone strength.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5 phosphate) (7.5mg)
Helps in the absorption of minerals such as Zinc and magnesium, which are also found in Prime Male. It also helps in the formation of androgen, the precursor to testosterone.
Magnesium (as magnesium citrate) (100mg)
Magnesium is mostly found in bananas, spinach, chard, black beans and yogurt. It’s good for maintaining a healthy blood pressure and it helps to lower the level of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) in the body.
Zinc (as Zinc Citrate) (30mg)
One of the more important ingredients for testosterone boosting. If your Zinc levels are low then it can inhibit the release of luteininzing hormone which is needed to help the production of testosterone in the testes.
D-Aspartic Acid Calcium Chelate (1600mg)
This ingredient is one of the most used and talked about ingredient in testosterone boosters. If a testosterone booster doesn’t have DAA, then I’m not sure it’s worth having in your kitchen cupboard.
Studies have shown DAA to be able to increase testosterone in health men by up to 42%. The amount of DAA used in the study was 3000mg, however, there have been a number of reports that suggest this level could be problematic for individuals. So a dosage of just over half (1600mg) may eliminate some unwanted side effects.
Asian Red Ginseng 4:1 extract (root) (120mg)
This has been used as a way to improve erectile function and to increase libido.. It has also been used for centuries as a way to increase longevity.
Luteolin
Helps to reduce the amount of estrogen that is being produced in the body. This will allow more testosterone availability. It does this by binding to estrogen receptors thereby slowing them down and also stimulates androgens to produce more testosterone.
Mucuna Pruriens (seed) Ext (standardized to 15% levadopa) (300mg)
Lowers the levels of prolactin in the bloodstream thereby preventing the body from depleting testosterone. Mucuna has also been known to lower cortisol levels in the body thereby which has also been know to dismantle testosterone molecules in the body.
Nettle Root 10:1 extract (160mg)
As discussed earlier with Magnesium, your body tends to hold up to 60% of your available testosterone by keeping it bound to SHGB. Nettle has a compound that is called lignans that will bind with SHBG in place of testosterone, resulting in more available testosterone.
BioPerine (10mg)
This is basically black pepper extract which is added to a lot of supplements these days to aid in the up take or absorption of other ingredients. Not only that, but it also assist in cognitive brain functioning, boost nutrient’s absorption and improve gastrointestinal functionality [source].
Boron (as boron amino acid chelate) (5mg)
It’s a micro-nutrient trace mineral found in foods such as broccoli, prunes, beans, grapes and legumes. It is an important trace mineral and aids in a number of essential functions such as, growth and maintenance of bone, wound healing, boosts magnesium absorption, improves the brains electrical activity, cognitive performance, and short-term memory for elders and beneficially impacts the body’s use of estrogen, testosterone, and vitamin D [source].

Where To Buy Prime Male
From my research, Prime Male is NOT currently for sale in stores at GNC or online stores like Amazon. The only place it can be ordered from is from their official website.
Side effects
Whilst Prime Male is an all natural supplement I have seen a number of reports of it having as adverse effects on consumers. These side effects are not ONLY confined to the Prime Male product, but it also applies to most testo boosters that use similar ingredients.
Some people who take testo boosters report symptoms of acid reflux, headaches, mood swings, diarrhea, upset stomach and blood pressure changes.
Granted, not all consumers will experience the same side effects, but those who are more sensitive to certain ingredients could experience these side effects.
There is one report from the Maryland Medical Center that suggests that while “Stinging nettle is generally considered safe when used as directed. Occasional side effects include mild stomach upset, fluid retention, sweating, and diarrhea.” [source]

Money back Guarantee Policy?
Prime Male comes with 90 Day money back guarantee, although from my research this guarantee comes with some conditions. So here’s the deal. You must take it for 3 months in order for you to qualify for the 90 day money back guarantee, which means that this guarantee also only applies to a 90 day purchase.
I have also found some folks who say that you must exercise 5 times a week and track what you eat.

Does Prime Male Work?
From the research I have conducted, it appears that the majority of feedback on Prime Male has been positive. Having said that, there is a number of negative reviews as well, but they all seem to stem from shipping and customer service as opposed to the product itself.
Summary
All in all, I like Prime Male as a testosterone booster because it has a reduced level of DAA which can be problematic for those who are more sensitive to this ingredient.
