I have been diagnosed with with Low T and it has caused me tons of problems. I recently started lifting and I think it has gotten better. I have not had an official test since I started lifting. Anyone have anything that will for sure help boost my levels? I really think its taking a toll on my body I have no energy unless I am at the gym and I have not been able to bring my mood up lately.

The only thing that will boost your test levels to any significant degree is TRT. Any supplement you can buy is a scam, because if it actually elevated test it would be a controlled substance (i.e., prescription only).3

D-Asparic Acid
Yeah, that looks like a great one.
https://examine.com/supplements/d-aspartic-acid/There appears to be an increase in testosterone in most subjects acutely (6-12 days), and while this may persist to the tune of 30-60% in infertile men it is reduced to baseline within a month in otherwise healthy men with normal testosterone at baseline. However, high doses also seem to decrease free testosterone and total testosterone in resistance trained men.5 -

He has low T so he's not an otherwise healthy man with normal testosterone and I wasn't saying to take high doses.0 -

Really diagnosed by an endocrinologist, or "diagnosed" by some men's clinic? If the former, why are you not being treated for it already? Treatment for any medical condition should immediately follow diagnosis.7 -

Read the link. T-boost is temporary (studies show elevation for a week to a week and a half before returning to baseline). What good is a 10-day boost going to do for somebody who actually has chronically low T?0 -
TRT definitely. See if you can go on 500-600 per week of Test E. It will do wonders for you attitude and body.0

It says for a male with normal T levels.0 -

Okay. So go ahead and post up the peer-reviewed studies showing that it's beneficial in the long term for men with diagnosed low T levels then.3 -
As others said, TRT is the only sure fire way to boost your testosterone. If you are diagnosed formally with this, the doctor will prescribe this for you.
I thought my T-levels were low so had it checked. I had no energy, and... ummm... other issues... Turns out, it was just normal decline with age. I started taking Nugenix and I found that helped me. I just got the regular dosage and it helped with my energy levels and... other issues.. as well.
Can't say if its legit or not, but its helped me. That's all I am saying.0 -

Of course you've been diagnosed with "Low T". The low T business which enticed you with advertising is staffed with a doctor whose only business is diagnosing every male with low T then prescribing them with a naturally occurring hormone which occurs naturally in all men and in some men at higher levels and thus Dr T is unlikely to ever lose a malpractice suit and his malpractice insurance is actually quite low. What a business that is!. Kiss your money goodbye.9

I got tested multiple times and they showed me the results and I def believe them because I had "other issues" also. I have to see the Endocrenoligist next month which is crazy I had to wait like 4 months to get in to see them. So basically I just need to wait to speak with them. Since I have starting lifting my "other issues" have gotten way better. Not 100% yet but a complete 360 from before1

What are your levels? Bioavalable? Free? Total?
I was on the lower end of the spectrum - blood tests also showed low D levels - there is sometimes a correlation. Was prescribed D2 and now take 2000iu D3 a day. Last Test was June 1 and my T has gone up about 100.
TRT is a lifetime commitment. There is no going back. A couple of years on it and you won't ever produce your own again.
Edit: I drank a half gallon of whole milk a day and took a multi before the initial tests - but as we get older we have a harder time absorbing D.2 -
Well, definitely don't make matters worse by eating things that can elevate estrogen like soy and almonds, until you get thiss sorted out with your doctor.0

Taking K2 along with D3 helps with bioavailabilty and absorbtion.1 -

Saturated fat. Green vegetables. Keep lifting. Make steak and eggs a part of your diet. Test is made out of cholesterol.0
