Force Factor Test X 180

Force Factor Test X 180 Review

Force Factor Test X 180 is a supplement designed to boost testosterone levels. This is a problem for men especially as they age and testosterone levels deplete over the years. Low testosterone can cause a range of issues including loss of energy, lack of interest in sex and declining physical abilities. Although all these are often associated with the aging process, increasing testosterone may be a way to get your old mojo back.

The supplement contains a range of herbal ingredients which come under a proprietary blend. This means we cannot see exactly how much of each ingredient is contained in the supplement. However the names of the ingredients are provided and include a branded supplement called Testofen derived from the spice Fenugreek. It also contains Siberian ginseng and Panax ginseng – two extracts that work as an adaptogen which means they cause general feelings of wellness and improved mood. It contains cordyceps – a mushroom extract often taken as a testosterone-boosting ingredient.

The final ingredient in the proprietary blend is Tribulus Terrestis – again an ingredient which often shows up in testosterone boosting formulas and it does come with some scientific evidence that it may be effective.

Force Factor Test X 180 also contains vitamin D – which recent health advice is that we should all be taking because it is so important for healthy bones and helping build immunity to illness and disease. It contains vitamin B6 a vitamin which is extremely important for numerous metabolic functions.

The supplement is sold via numerous retailers including the Vitamin Shoppe, GNC and Amazon USA. It is also on sale from the Force Factor website. Some customers who have bought via the official website have complained about a so-called free trial offer which has turned out to be expensive. When you sign up for the free trial you have only 18 days to cancel the product after you have bought it.

If you fail to do this, you will be billed automatically and fresh supplies sent to your address every month.

Force Factor has recently discontinued this option for Test X 180. However it is still available for some of the other Force Factor supplements including Force Factor Test X180 Ignite, Test X 180 Alpha and Test X180 Tempest.

What Does Force Factor Test X 180 Claim To Do?

The product information explains why men this need this supplement.

As men age, their natural production of testosterone begins to decline. Some just accept this and cope with less energy, decreased muscle mass, and a weaker sex drive. But why settle? With Test X180, you can build bigger muscles, increase your libido, and look and feel invincible.

According to the advertising there are three key features to this supplement:

• Maximise Muscle Mass
• Boost Sex Drive & Libido
• Enhance Performance

The product information explains who this supplement is for:

Testosterone boosters aren’t just for pro-bodybuilders; they are the answer for every guy who wants to challenge his declining testosterone and perform at the highest level.

Does Force Factor Test X 180 Work?

Force Factor Test X 180 may work to a degree but results may not be as life changing as the advertising suggests.

One of the key ingredients is Testofen, a branded supplement that contains Trigonella foenum-graecum seed (fenugreek seeds).

According to clinical research, ”Testofen showed a statistically significant increase in the sexual function, performance and satisfaction of the active group”. However this does not necessarily mean that this supplement will work the same as in the test conditions.

The active dose in the test was 600 mg of Testofen so the amounts are much lower in this supplement. In addition the test did not prove that this ingredient would really work as effectively as the advertising claims. A significant increase sounds good but does it really mean that you will turn into a superhero in the gym and the bedroom? We think this is unlikely.

What Are The Ingredients of Force Factor Test X 180?

Each capsule is equal to one serving.

• Vitamin D (200 IU): Vitamin D is synthesised in the body from sunlight but is also available is some foodstuffs. Vitamin D is important for healthy bones and the immune system but many people lack this important vitamin, especially people in colder climates. New research suggests that we should all be taking vitamin D supplements to help build up the body’s immune system. Serving size here is very low. Most Vitamin D supplements contain at least 400 IU.
• Vitamin B6 (2 mg): The body needs B6 for more than 100 reactions required by the metabolism so is crucial for health and it is present in many foods including poultry, offal and fruit. The RDA is 1.7mg.

Growth Enhancement Matrix (400 mg)

• Testofen: This branded supplement is made by Gencor an American herbal supplements manufacturer. According to clinical testing “Testofen was shown to effectively reduce the normal symptoms of andropause (male menopause) and improve sexual health by significantly increasing arousal, sexual desire, sexual activity and free and total testosterone levels.”
• Siberian Ginseng: Also known as Eleuthero, Siberian Ginseng is often taken for mental health issues such as bipolar disorder and although it is an adaptogen – meaning it causes general feelings of well-being, it lacks evidence as a sports supplement but it may have an effect upon hormones. Siberian Ginseng can cause a range of side effects and is potentially dangerous.
• Panax Ginseng: This type of ginseng is the one that everyone knows and in fact millions of people take ginseng every day for a variety of reasons including erectile dysfunction. Ginseng is an adaptogen so can cause feelings of enhanced well-being.
• Cordyceps Sinsensis: This mushroom extract is a traditional Chinese medicinal treatment for a wide range of conditions including erectile dysfunction although this has not been clinically tested. Cordyceps Sinsensis may help boost stamina as well. In one unpleasant-sounding clinical test, mice were found to swim for longer after taking it. It is important to remember that what works for small animals may not necessarily work for humans.
• Tribulus Terrestis: Mediterranean fruit extract that is often taken to improve sexual and exercise performance and some studies suggest that it may be effective. However it is dangerous and may cause numerous side effects including a possible link with prostate problems.

Are There Any Customer Reviews For Force Factor Test X 180?

There are nearly 700 reviews left on the Amazon site alone. Many of these are positive but customers have questioned their authenticity. As this reviewer reported,

What a pathetic and obvious scam these reviews are. Page after page of totally identical 5-star reviews. I counted ten of these identical reviews on the first 16 of the 41 pages of reviews. I got tired at that point.

We looked into this and did find numerous repeated positive reviews as claimed. However, some of the positive reviews look genuine.

I am in my mid 50s and this stuff gives me added stamina at work when I am starting to wear down from work.

There are also loads of negative comments.

I did NOT notice any difference therefore it was a waste of money in my eyes! 🙁

My partner and I have been taking this product for over 3 weeks and have noticed ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE with our stamina and sex drive. Energy levels are the same. To us, this is just a waste of money.

Don’t waste your money on this, since there are similar products that actually work. Also beware: I ordered the 30-day trial and the company decided to bill me for a $80 dollar bottle without my authority!

Warning: the $5 ‘sample’ deal, which SOUNDS like a good way to try it, comes with ‘automatic shipments’ and billing your credit card without warning. (Maybe it was in that fine print somewhere but I missed it.) Very hard to get them to discontinue these shipments. Better to order on Amazon and decide yourself whether you want more. Their website says if you don’t like it you can call for an RMA number, ship back unused portion and get refunds (if you’re buying directly from them). They will resist this on the phone though.

Customer representatives from Force Factor have responded courteously to many of the complaints. However they have not mentioned a refund to any disgruntled customers.
