Worst Supplements for Men

The Worst Supplements for Men

Supplements promise gains, but some steal your edge. Here are three popular supplements that can tank your mood, libido, and hormones:

Ashwagandha: The Anhedonia Maxxer

Popular for stress relief, Ashwagandha crushes cortisol—but for some guys, it also crushes joy. Users report emotional numbness, zero motivation, and flat mood after weeks of use. It messes with dopamine and serotonin, turning high performers into zombies. Great for anxiety, terrible for drive. Our dead sea magnesium is a better alternative to help promote relaxation while also supporting DHT production.

Saw Palmetto: Finasteride Lite

Sold for prostate health and hair loss, Saw Palmetto blocks 5-alpha reductase—just like finasteride (Propecia). Saw Palmetto lowers DHT, which can mean reduced libido, weaken erections, and lower energy. Less potent than the drug, but still risky—and less effective for hair loss. Our butea superba is known for helping growth growth, and supporting testosterone.

Reishi: The Certified DHT Nuke

Reishi is a mushroom that can boost immunity, but can also lower DHT. Lower DHT means more fatigue, brain fog, and potential reproductive hormones issues. Our pine pollen is a powerful way to boost immunity while also boosting anabolic energy.

Bottom Line

Ashwagandha can dull your mood. Saw Palmetto weakens your masculine energies. Reishi can tank your hormones. We offer superior alternatives to all the supplements outlined above. Some additional options include shilajit tablets and shilajit resin to enhance mineralization and black ginger to promote bloodflow and energy levels.
