Testosterone is a steroid hormone that is present in the bodies of both men and women, although men have higher concentrations of it. Testosterone is made in the testes, ovaries, and adrenal glands and is derived from cholesterol. It is primarily responsible for the development of the male reproductive system and also plays a role in body hair growth, muscle mass, fat distribution, voice depth, and libido. In the body, some testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone, which plays a role in prostate enlargement and baldness, and estradiol, which is a type of estrogen. This supplement is hormone-free.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement is a mix of six main ingredients, including vitamin D3, zinc, magnesium, copper, ashwagandha, and maca. All six ingredients are generally well tolerated and some are important for overall health as well. Ashwagandha has also been shown to support testosterone health. Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement isn’t intended to treat low testosterone and isn’t a substitute for treatments prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Copper is included in Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement to help reduce the risk of developing a copper deficiency. The supplement contains 30 mg per day of zinc and taking high levels of zinc intake can reduce the amount of copper that is absorbed in the intestines. To help prevent this from occurring, some supplements that contain zinc also include copper.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement contains 350 mg per day of magnesium. This amount provides as much magnesium as possible per daily dose without exceeding the Tolerable Upper Intake Level of magnesium. This reduces the risk of experiencing side effects such as abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea.

It is recommended that men aged 19–30 consume 400 mg per day of magnesium and men ages >30 consume 420 mg per day of magnesium. However, consuming more than 350 mg per day through supplements may increase the risk of side effects. It is recommended that the remaining 50–70 mg per day come from food.

There are many different supplements on the market that advertise that they support healthy testosterone levels in men. While some individual ingredients may overlap between Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement and other brands, not all formulations are exactly the same. All six ingredients and their dosages in Roman’s supplement were individually selected and specifically chosen.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement was not tested against or compared to any other products. Roman makes no claims about how this pack will affect your body compared to other testosterone support supplements.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement itself is not testosterone nor is it a precursor to testosterone. Rather, the supplement is made with ashwagandha, which has been shown to increase testosterone levels. Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. If you do suffer from low testosterone, this supplement is not a treatment for your condition. You should talk to your healthcare provider about the best next steps in treatment. You may require treatment with testosterone replacement therapy or a different intervention.

You should take four tablets of Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement daily. The tablets can be taken all at once or you can take them in divided doses throughout the day. To facilitate the absorption of vitamin D, it is recommended that you take the supplement with food.

To assess tolerability, you may want to begin by taking one to two tablets per day. Depending on the side effects you may be experiencing (if any), you can then gradually work your way up to the full dose.

It is not recommended that you take more than four tablets of Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement per day. Doing so may increase your chance of experiencing side effects and may even be dangerous for your health. The Institute of Medicine publishes the Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) for many nutrients. The UL indicates the “maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects” for these nutrients. Four of the ingredients in Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement (vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, and copper) have published ULs. Taking more than the recommended four tablets per day may, therefore, increase your chances of experiencing side effects. Additionally, this supplement should not be taken in combination with other supplements that contain vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, or copper.

Do not take Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement in combination with other supplements that contain magnesium, as this would exceed the upper limit of magnesium that should be consumed through supplements each day. Use caution when taking Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement in combination with other supplements that contain vitamin D, zinc, or copper. Doing so increases your chance of consuming more than the Tolerable Upper Intake Level for each of these ingredients, which could increase your risk of experiencing symptoms and could lead to serious negative health effects.

If you accidentally miss a dose, you can either take it when you remember or you can wait until the next day to resume the supplement. It does not matter what time of day you take the supplement. However, to avoid going over the Tolerable Upper Intake Levels for vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, and copper, you should not take more than four tablets in a 24-hour period.

Based on the individual ingredients in the supplement, possible side effects include altered menstrual cycles, altered mood, cramping, difficulty sleeping, drowsiness, fatigue, gastrointestinal discomfort, and loose stools. Rarer, but more serious side effects may also occur. If you are experiencing worrisome symptoms, stop taking the supplement immediately and speak to your healthcare provider.

The individual ingredients in Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement are generally well tolerated. However, there are certain people who should refrain from use or should use caution due to possible interactions with medical conditions or medications. People with Wilson disease should not take supplements that contain copper. Pregnant women and men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer should not take this supplement. Additionally, individuals with autoimmune diseases (e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis), kidney disease, or low blood pressure should talk to their healthcare provider first and should use caution when taking this product. Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement may also interact with certain medications and should be used with caution by anybody taking antibiotics, anticonvulsants, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, bisphosphonates, cholestyramine, corticosteroids, diuretics, immunosuppressive medications, orlistat, penicillamine, proton pump inhibitors, or thyroid medications. If you have a health condition or are taking medication and have questions about whether Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement is safe for you, talk with your healthcare provider before taking the supplement.

It is safe for women to take Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement. However, the supplement is potentially dangerous during pregnancy, so women of child-bearing age should avoid taking the supplement unless they know they are not pregnant. The benefit this supplement is designed for (testosterone support) has only ever been tested in men, so it is unclear what the effects of this supplement may be in women.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement is vegetarian. Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement is not vegan. The vitamin D3 that Roman uses is derived from lanolin, which comes from sheep’s wool. If you adhere to a strict vegan diet, do not take Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement.

Roman’s Testosterone Support supplement contains specific nutrients that are thought to support testosterone production. The supplement does not contain testosterone and will not suppress the body’s production of testosterone. However, if you have an underlying vitamin D, zinc, or magnesium deficiency, you may recognize that symptoms of those deficiencies return after stopping this supplement.

The best way to support testosterone levels in the body is to stay as healthy as possible overall. Eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy body weight, and sleeping enough each day are all ways to make sure your body is functioning at its peak. If you have low testosterone because of a medical condition, working with your healthcare provider to treat the underlying condition may be the best way to improve your levels. If you have low testosterone as a side effect of a medication you are taking, talk to your healthcare provider about your concerns to see if switching to an alternative medication could be right for you.
