Conclusion: The exceptions were β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate and betaine, which can be considered effective for male athletes. Eurycoma longifolia, a blend of Punica granatum fruit rind and Theobroma cacao seed extracts (Tesnor™) and purified Shilajit extract (PrimaVie™) can be considered possibly effective for men with late-onset hypogonadism; Eurycoma longifolia and Withania somnifera possibly effective for healthy men; and a non-hormonal aromatase inhibitor (Novadex XT™) possibly effective for male athletes.

What people say about D-Aspartic Acid and hormones
“I took 3g of d-aa/day plus 250-300mg of grape seed extract/day and 30mg of zinc/day ... I got increased acne, my hairline receded a bit, and my balls grew by probably 30%.”
“Anecdotally I've noticed a definite difference between when I am and am not taking D-AA. Even if you're right, placebo gains are still gains.”
“DAA will offer better results but again only if OP is older in age. In my experience the effects of both Trib and DAA increase then peak at three weeks. 4 weeks on has worked best for me.”
“D-AA (D-Aspartic acid) is a proven testosterone boosting supplement. I really don't know if it works... if anything its marginal.”
