Overview

Z-Test contains a blend of ingredients, some of which have evidence-backed roles in supporting natural testosterone, hormonal balance, and sleep. The inclusion of ingredients like Zinc, Vitamin B6, Melatonin, L-Theanine, and Passion Flower Extract at potentially effective doses is a positive aspect. However, the efficacy of the 'Trib-X Blend' and 'Nocturnal Growth Blend' is hampered by the use of proprietary blends, which conceal individual ingredient dosages. The effectiveness of Tribulus for significantly boosting testosterone in healthy individuals is generally not supported by strong evidence. The presence of Phenibut, while effective for sleep and anxiety, carries significant safety concerns regarding dependence and withdrawal, raising questions about its appropriateness in a widely available supplement. Many ingredients, like L-Dopa, GABA, Indole-3-Carbinol, and Diindolylmethane, are underdosed or part of proprietary blends, making it difficult to ascertain their contribution to the overall effectiveness.

The Good

Effective dose of Melatonin for sleep support.

Zinc and Vitamin B6 are present, which are important for various physiological functions (though B6 is high, and Magnesium is low).

L-Theanine and Passion Flower Extract can contribute to relaxation and improved sleep quality without strong sedation.

The Bad

Inclusion of Phenibut carries significant risks of dependence and severe withdrawal, making the product potentially dangerous.

Proprietary blends prevent full transparency of ingredient dosages, hindering efficacy and safety assessment.

Many ingredients within the blends are likely underdosed based on typical research-backed amounts (e.g., Tribulus, L-Dopa, GABA, Indole-3-Carbinol, Diindolylmethane, Chrysin).
