Description
Description
Our formula is unique among testosterone support supplements. While other companies include long lists of ingredients that are less supported by clinical research, we only include research-backed ingredients that demonstrate positive effects. Some companies offer sensible ingredients but in low amounts, maybe hoping the combination of lower-dose individual ingredients will provide a sufficient cumulative effect despite the lack of research and evidence. But in our formula, ingredient dose and strength meet (and in a couple cases, even exceed) the levels shown to be effective in research; each ingredient could deliver results on its own. With a formula that follows the science, focuses on just the ingredients that demonstrate positive effect, and includes each of them at meaningful dosage, our testosterone support supplement can deliver much more dramatic results than what many other companies offer at higher prices.

See What We Included And Why
Ashwagandha Extract
Improve testosterone and VO2Max while reducing anxiety*
In clinical trials, ashwagandha increases testosterone in men while profoundly reducing stress and anxiety. KSM-66® is especially potent, with a high concentration of the botanical’s active compounds. We include 600mg because compelling clinical research has shown the effectiveness of KSM-66® using that specific dose. In just two months, studies demonstrate that it can:
Vitamin A
Improve testicular function*
Vitamin A was central to a decades-long study examining how lifestyle and nutrition can influence testosterone levels. It’s abundant in foods, but we still included nearly 85% of your daily value to ensure that it can:
Vitamin D3
Increase strength, power, and testosterone levels*
Multiple studies have not only drawn a direct correlation between low vitamin D levels and low testosterone, but also revealed that supplementing improves both vitamin D and testosterone levels. The 1,000 IU we provide here has been shown to:
Zinc
Boost immunity, sperm health, and T levels*
Research dating back decades shows an undeniable link between zinc and testosterone, as well as other vital health stats. With nearly 1 in 10 men in the U.S. at risk for a zinc deficiency, our 25mg dose helps safeguard your healthy zinc levels. Studies show it can:
Selenium
Support fertility and sperm morphology*
A critical trace mineral, selenium is integral to the health and maintenance of male fertility, acting as an antioxidant and protector against environmental toxicity. It’s abundant in meats, dairy, beans, nuts, and seeds, and our 20mcg dose is sufficient to ensure you avoid deficiency. At healthy levels, selenium can:
Copper
Prevent copper depletion*
Zinc supplementation is critical for maintaining testosterone levels, but it can cause a depletion in copper. Our formula ensures your copper levels remain in a healthy range. It can also help support a fitness regimen by:
Fenugreek Extract
Double free testosterone*
More than just total testosterone, fenugreek can increase free testosterone — the version your body can actually use for things like muscle growth and sexual wellbeing. Our 600mg dose is standardized to 50% saponins. In 6-8 weeks, studies show that this dosage and strength can:
Tongkat Ali Extract
Improve testosterone and erectile performance*
Also known as longjack, this botanical provides a boost in both testosterone and erectile performance at just 200mg. Our dose is double that. Its highlights include:
Maca Root Extract
Enhance libido, erectile health, and sexual confidence*
While maca has been shown to improve symptoms in men with hypogonadism, its erectile benefits are even better documented. Our potent 10:1 extract provides an equivalent of 2,000mg maca powder, which can:
Black Pepper Extract
Ensure nutrient absorption*
It’s hard for the body to absorb all the ingredients in a supplement, but black pepper extract has been shown to increase absorption. This ensures you get more of the effect you want.
Vitamin K2
Support testosterone production at the genetic level*
While some ingredients influence the testes or Leydig cells toward increasing testosterone, it appears that K2 holds sway over your very genes, pushing them toward better testosterone production. Our 75mcg dose can:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is testosterone, and why is it important?
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and plays a role in the hormonal health of women as well. It’s responsible for the fetal development of male sex organs and the masculinizing effects of puberty, like a deepening voice, increased body hair, and the onset of fertility.
In adulthood, testosterone also regulates libido and sperm production, but its role extends far beyond sexual health or masculinity. It can control the balance between muscle and fat throughout the body while also ensuring sufficient bone strength as you age. Testosterone levels affect mood and energy levels and even influence the production of red blood cells.
Testosterone levels decline naturally as you age, with the most significant dropoff period beginning at around 40, after which you can lose up to 1% of your testosterone production every year.
How did Innerbody choose the ingredients in Testosterone Support?
We carefully formulated this supplement by following the science. Over the past several years, we spent thousands of hours poring over hundreds of research studies focused on what substances — vitamin, mineral, botanical — can safely and most reliably boost testosterone.
But the choice of ingredients is only part of the picture; the quantities of those ingredients are vitally important, too, and this is one of the major motivating factors in our creation of Testosterone Support. Too often, we saw products on the market that contained promising, well-researched ingredients but in quantities too low to achieve reliable results.
With this formula, we include ingredients that numerous research studies show to be effective at increasing testosterone levels and addressing the symptoms of low testosterone. And we provide those ingredients at doses that scientific research shows are both effective and safe. In this way, Testosterone Support from Innerbody can help men retain muscle mass, strengthen libido, manage stress, and prevent declines in mood and energy.
You don’t have to take our word for it. Please explore the clinical research section on this page to see the studies that were conducted across decades to inform our formula.
Why is copper included in this supplement?
We’ve included copper in our supplement because we’ve also included zinc. Zinc has been shown to influence testosterone levels significantly. Copper hasn’t shown such influence, but research indicates that zinc supplementation can lead to copper deficiency, and we take great pains to ensure our product is as safe as it is effective.
Can I take Innerbody Testosterone Support with other supplements and medications?
While we formulated our supplement with safety in mind, as with any supplement, you should speak with your doctor before adding this supplement to your routine. This will ensure that the supplement is safe for you, specifically, based on your underlying health and any medications you are currently taking.
Do you ship internationally?
At this time, no, we only ship to customers in the United States. If you are located outside the United States, we encourage you to learn about other top supplements that we recommend in our guide to testosterone boosters (such as supplements made by TestoPrime and Roman).
Do you deliver to Army post office addresses?
Yes, we do.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Shipping times do vary, but orders typically arrive on an average of 3-4 business days.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Some may begin to notice results within the first week of use, while others will notice results several weeks or months later.
The ingredients within Testosterone Support improve testosterone levels and target the symptoms of low testosterone in different ways. Given this diversity of ingredients we’ve included, you could feel an increase in libido within days, though the full effects of the supplement and its impact on measurable testosterone levels will likely take closer to 12 weeks to arrive at their peak. After that, consistent use can maintain those positive results.
How many capsules do I need to take per day?
The suggested daily serving of Innerbody Testosterone Support is four (4) capsules per day.
When is the best time of day to take Testosterone Support?
You can take Testosterone Support whenever it’s convenient for you within a given day. The ingredients aren’t intended to have instant effects, but men interested in maintaining the highest possible T levels might consider taking it in the morning. Testosterone levels are at their highest after you wake up, and they decline throughout the day, hitting their low in the evening. Taking your Testosterone Support dose with breakfast may influence that daily decline.
Do I need to cycle Innerbody Testosterone Support?
No, you do not need to cycle Innerbody Testosterone Support. None of our ingredients have shown evidence of accumulated tolerance or toxicity with long-term use.
Can women take Innerbody Testosterone Support?
Innerbody Testosterone Support is intended for adult males. Women should consult with a physician before taking Innerbody Testosterone Support. We formulated this supplement specifically to support men’s testosterone levels, though there could be medical occasions where its ingredients could be recommendable to a woman, however rare those may be.
