Novedex XT by Gaspari.  it doesn't raise testosterone but it does alter the testosterone to estrogen ratio
it's not bad as far as over the counter supps go, but don't expect miracles from it

Define "real"!!

Why ask a question to which you supposedly already have the answer? At the end of the day, you'll never know unless you actually try one.

real = raises testosterone levels

"suspected as much" does not equal "already have the answer".

No it raises test and actually raises estrogen too. Though the ratio does increase since test increases more. Lowers IGF-1 by 50%.

Pretty useless supp for muscle gain.
