Testosterone Booster Overview: Vintage Boost
Testosterone boosters. Do they actually increase your test, do they make you want to screw everything in sight, or do they do anything at all? That all depends on what’s in them. I’m looking at Vintage Boost today and going over what it’s used for, how its ingredients work, and how much to take.
Why do people take test boosters?
Two reasons why men look into them:
Testosterone is essential to building and maintaining muscle, fighting fatigue, and overall living a better life.
Especially with the types of jobs and fast lifestyles that many of us have, bad habits are easy to pick up that generally decrease testosterone production and lead to depressed moods, sexual dysfunction, and poor athletic performance.
My Personal Experience
In terms of mood, sex drive, and performance in the gym, I felt this made a difference for me. Quick disclaimer though: Testosterone boosters cannot replace the effects of poor sleep, bad food, porn, or excessive drinking. In the last two and a half weeks that I’ve been using Vintage Boost, I’ve had maybe 3 beers total drinking socially. I’ve also been getting 6-7.5 hours of sleep, eating less fast food, continued to cut out porn, keeping up on cardio, and lifting weights. The effects of these behaviors served as a good base for Vintage Boost to do what it needed to.
How it works:
One reason why I like Old School Labs is because of their transparency. They list all of their ingredients and dosages right on the bottle and they pride themselves on not adding anything unnatural or harmful to their supplements.
Vintage Boost contains:
The only ingredient I hadn’t heard of in my time of consuming supplements has been Shilajit Extract, but I’ll explain that in a bit.
Before I go over these ingredients, it’s important to distinguish the difference between increased testosterone and increased sexual performance / libido. They are not the same thing, but Vintage Boost has different ingredients that do both.
The ones that affect testosterone are ones that you’ve probably heard of from people like Sol Brah, or any internet article titled “natural ways to boost testosterone or cure ED (erectile dysfunction); those being Vitamin D3, B6, Magnesium, and Zinc. These vitamins and minerals are ones that people are typically deficient in, especially with all the time that people spend indoors and a lack of nutrient rich food as I mentioned earlier. These ingredients help your body produce the testosterone needed to function in everyday life.

On the other hand, increased sexual performance is purely your desire for sex and the ability to get it up. That’s where the Tribulus Fruit Extract and Maca Root powder ingredients come in. Now why would Old School Labs include these if it’s not directly increasing testosterone? My guess is that it’s a lot easier to tell when sexual function improves rather than noticing your body as a whole functioning better as a result of increased testosterone.
How It Works:
As I said, Vitamin D3, B6, Zinc, and Magnesium are all ingredients that don’t need a ton of explanation. They’re commonly used vitamins and minerals your body uses that typically come from sunlight exposure and food. However, the ingredients for testosterone production in Vintage Boost that aren’t as common are D-Aspartic Acid and Shilajit Extract.
D-Aspartic Acid is an amino acid that functions to make and release hormones; not to be confused with L-Aspartic Acid which is used to build proteins. It directly affects testosterone levels in human according to a study done on rats and humans. The effective dose for D-Aspartic acid is 3g, which is the dosage that Old School Labs uses in Vintage Boost.
The Shilajit Extract is something way out of left field that I’ve never heard of. But after researching, I understand that it’s a mineral complex that, in studies, “elicited favorable muscle and connective tissue adaptations.” Basically, the men in these studies performed better in weight training. In the study that I read, they used variations of leg extensions. As I mentioned earlier, this isn’t an ingredient that I fully understand, but Old School Lab’s main value prop is that you can feel secure in what’s going in your body with their products; so I’m not too worried.
How Much to Take:
According to the directions on the Boost bottle, you follow a 4-week wave protocol.
Week 1 (Activation Wave):
Weeks 2 & 3 (Loading Wave)
Week 4 (Balancing Wave)
It also says to use continuously for 60 days and then take 2 weeks off. Which isn’t uncommon because from what I’ve seen from some of these ingredients, it’s better to go on and off with some of them rather than permanent use.
Conclusion:
You’re not going to feel cracked out or want to screw everything in sight on Vintage Boost. If you want astronomical levels of testosterone or want a 4-hour problem, inject the real stuff or take Cialis. But if you’re looking to boost your testosterone with a company that revolves around safety and transparency, Vintage Boost is the way to go. Old School Labs sponsors the meme page, so I’ve got a 12% off discount code “MONDAY” if you’re looking to give it a shot. I’d like to know if / what kind of test boosters have worked for you, and the kind of positive or negative effects that you noticed. Throw some in the comments, and thank you for reading.
