Primeval Labs Mega Test PM

What is Mega Test PM?

Testosterone is man’s greatest ally for building muscle & strength, boosting mood & productivity, and living a happy, gains-filled life. Basically, it is a “super serum” that is naturally produced by every red-blooded man walking the planet.*

Unfortunately, T levels start to naturally decline sometime around 30, and a host of lifestyle factors (smoking, excessive drinking, lifestyle stress, poor sleep, etc.) can accelerate its descent, ultimately leaving you slower, weaker, and more miserable.*

MEGA TEST PM is every man’s nighttime solution to better sleep, enhanced recovery, and a healthy hormone profile. Using natural ingredients that are backed by hard science to improve sleep quality and support healthy testosterone levels, Mega Test PM delivers key nutrients that help you calm down and relax. And, with better sleep comes greater energy, elevated mood, enhanced productivity, and of course naturally higher testosterone levels.*

Mega Test PM Up-Close

Ashwagandha

Stress is one of the most common reasons that individuals struggle to fall asleep at night or sleep soundly throughout the night. To make matters worse, research has shown that getting only 5 hours of sleep per night can reduce testosterone levels up to 15%!

Beyond impacting muscle recovery and testosterone levels, being stressed also raises cortisol levels. Chronically elevated cortisol levels are also known to have significantly adverse effects on testosterone levels.*

That’s where ashwagandha comes in.*

A staple of Ayurveda, ashwagandha is a root heralded for its ability to improve how the body interacts with and recovers from stressful endeavors. Research using ashwagandha has found that not only does it help reduce stress and support healthy testosterone levels, it also improves sleep quality, libido, and muscle strength.*

L-Theanine

An amino acid found abundantly in green tea, theanine is well-known for its calming effects and sleep-improving ability. L-theanine exerts its relaxant effects, in part, by enhancing levels of GABA (the body’s primary calming neurotransmitter). This leads to an increase in dopamine and serotonin in the brain, encouraging feelings of happiness and relaxation and thus enabling you to achieve the deep, restorative sleep you need to support recovery and healthy testosterone levels.*

Boron Citrate

Boron is an essential trace mineral affecting hundreds of biological processes, not the least of which is testosterone production. It also impacts cognitive function and bone health. Scientific studies suggest supplementing with boron supports higher free testosterone levels and lower estradiol levels after only a single week!*

MEGA TEST PM includes a bioavailable form of boron (boron citrate) to support greater mineral absorption and utilization.*

5-HTP

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a metabolite of the essential amino acid (EAA) L-Tryptophan and the direct precursor to serotonin -- a hormone that promotes feelings of happiness and well-being as well as helping to stabilize mood. Moreover, serotonin is converted to melatonin, which further aids deep sleep and powerful nighttime recovery. Studies have found that 5-HTP supplementation may significantly increase rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, as much as 53%! Other studies suggest that 5-HTP in combination with other prominent sleep aids is more effective (e.g. increased non-REM sleep), which is why Mega Test PM includes it plus a hand-picked blend of other potent sleep enhancers.*

Melatonin

Melatonin is a critically important hormone when it comes to achieving quality sleep each and every night. It dictates the sleep-wake cycle. However, today’s inundation of technological wonders (TV, tablets, computers, smartphones, LED overload, etc.) makes it virtually impossible to optimize melatonin levels. The reason for this is that the blue light emitted from these devices severely stunts melatonin production, which delays your body’s innate signals to calm down and go to sleep.*

Further complicating matters is that many of the messages, alerts, and notifications from these blue light-spewing devices also jacks up stress levels. This creates a malicious two-pronged assault on your body’s ability to relax and sleep soundly.*

In addition to modifying your lifestyle habits, melatonin also has a substantial body of scientific research demonstrating its ability to help individuals fall asleep faster and achieve better quality sleep.*

Zinc

Zinc is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of biological processes (including testosterone production); however, a significant portion of the population (especially athletes) are deficient in it. Furthermore, zinc deficiencies are linked to lower levels of testosterone. As bleak as this sounds, there is hope -- research indicates that zinc supplementation can improve sleep quality as well as promote male sexual health and performance.*

Magnesium

An essential mineral and electrolyte that helps muscles to relax, magnesium (similar to zinc) is another incredibly common micronutrient deficiency worldwide. Research has identified a link between low magnesium levels and poorer sleep quality. Magnesium supplementation is known to help promote feelings of relaxation, reduce muscle cramps, and improve overall sleep quality.*
