Go on a nature walk and grab as many plants as you can.
Then buy yourself a blender and mash all that shit together… And eat it. Odds are there’s something in there that will increase your testosterone, right?
This seems to be the Test Charge Hardcore philosophy, which stacks up a massive 40+ unheard of herbal ingredients into tiny 100-200 mg spaces… Reviewing almost does it no justice: You might just have to try it out for yourself.

About Test Charge Hardcore Kit Review
From EFX Sports, the manufacturers who are “formulated to win!”, comes the Test Charge Hardcore Kit: A 1-3-4 set of formulas each designed to boost T & attack estrogen at various stages of “delivery & absorption.” Sounds awesome, but what hell is going on with these ingredients? Formula notes:
- 3-in-1 Kit: Overall, this package includes TEST CHARGE HARDCORE LIQUID, TEST CHARGE HARDCORE CAPSULE, & AROMA BLOCK-R TABLET.
- Free T & No E: The ultimate goal of this kit is to increase free levels of T while minimizing estrogen levels for enhanced strength & muscles.
- Way Too Many Ingredients: Take a quick look at the Supp Facts. There’s so many compounds listed for such small dosages… What the frigger is going on here??

The Test Charge Hardcore Kit Supp Facts are complete & utter nonsense.
You know what would have been nice, EFX?
If you explained your f***ing formula to us, because this is insane.
What we’ve gathered thus far is that there are 3 different products in this kit:
- TEST CHARGE HARDCORE LIQUID (IGNITE!)
- TEST CHARGE HARDCORE CAPSULE (SUSTAIN!)
- AROMA BLOCK-R TABLET (BLOCK!)
Essentially the first two products offer more-or-less the same ingredients, but in different formats—liquid & capsule. Whereas the tablets supply an entirely different design & format from the first two products… Do they work?
No f***ing idea. Let’s find out:
TEST CHARGE HARDCORE LIQUID, 108.5 mg
This is the designated “IGNITE: Fast-Acting Liquid” blend that, we think, is meant to introduce the body to the main Test Charge formula, thus igniting Test Charge’s primary bio-actions. The active constituents here can be categorized as:
- Taxanes & Taxoids.
- Flavonoids-Flavonols.
- Steroids-Phytosterols
- Lignans
- Carotenoids
- Violaxantins
- Phenols
- Benzenoids
By far the most confusing blend we’ve seen thus far, stacking up around 24 ingredients into 8 sub-categories… Most of these components have been derived from plants, so that’s good. But which plants? We don’t know… That would actually be more useful than this, because this is just insanity.
There are plenty of recognizable compounds—Quercetin may help diminish T excretion; Beta Sitosterol seems to inhibit T’s conversion to DH Xanthophyll allows leaves to turn colors during autumn—but there’s such a mix of compounds that work for T and compounds that… who knows what the hell they do… We’re not sure that Test Charge Hardcore can accomplish what it claims to do: Increase free T levels.
It might, but even if it did supply the right ingredients for T, that 108.5 mg dosage isn’t near enough for all of these 24 compounds to work.
TEST CHARGE HARDCORE CAPSULE, 175 mg
You might as well re-read the previous blend’s description, because this blend is practically the same thing—with exception to a few additions:
- Dihydroxyflavone. Or Chrysin, a popular well-researched compound that has no effect on testosterone when orally consumed.
- Indole-3-Carbinol. A precursor to Diindolylmethane, which is associated with increasing free T by inhibiting T’s conversion to estrogen.
You can qualify these as slight improvements to the Test Charge blend, but only slight: Chrysin’s oral bioavailability is very low & I3C is a poor version of DIM (which is a questionable male enhancer in its own right).
AROMA BLOCK-R TABLET, 177 mg
More nonsense, but of a different nature.
At least we see one of our B5 Favorites here: Boron.
Although, we don’t know how much Boron is supplied here—typically, it takes around 100 mg Boron to supply 10 mg of “active” Boron (the optimal dosage), but we doubt that Aroma Block-R is setting aside 100 mg of its 177 mg strictly for Boron. There are 20 ingredients here after all.
Soy Isoflavone Daidsen shows T-boosting promise in rats (at 5 mg/kg dosages), but on the whole Soy Isoflavones are phytoestrogens—and thus display estrogenic bio-activities. This can be either good or bad for T:
- Good. Phytoestrogens possibly block estrogen receptors from binding with real estrogens.
- Bad. Phytoestrogens possibly bind with estrogen receptors to induce estrogen expression (even without the presence of human estrogen).
Considering that Soy is in everything (almost literally everything) that we eat, we doubt it has any significant effect either way. But that seems even more inconsequential here with Aroma Block-R’s low dosage.
Formula Analysis
So what the hell is going here?
Is Test Charge Hardcore Kit “formulated to win!” or are these guys completely full of shit?
Ultimately, we can’t say. And the fact that EFX Sports wrote up such a complex formula & complicated Supp Facts table looks less like genius & more like BS to us. There very well might be bona fide T-boosters & estrogen-blockers in the Test Charge Hardcore Kit—we’ve spotted a few (although Boron is the only bona fidely bona fide T-booster of those we spotted)—but we’d have much more confidence in this formula if EFX Sports told us the origins of these compounds and/or what purpose they serve.
Instead, they tell us that:
- TEST CHARGE HARDCORE LIQUID “aids in both absorption and bioavailability for a quicker response.”
- TEST CHARGE HARDCORE CAPSULES “release their active ingredients slower and steadier via a delayed-release mechanism.”
- AROMA BLOCK-R TABLETS “packs the 1 tablet power to complete the Test Charge Hardcore experience.”
While these are admittedly cool design features that showcase plenty of potential for “igniting” and “delaying” bioactivities, these descriptions tell us nothing about the formula itself: What’s the purpose of the taxanes, flavones, carotenoids, etc. etc.? How do they work? What research is EFX Sports basing their ingredient selections on?
On the whole, there are far too many questions left unanswered with this mystery formula. Because of that we can’t outright claim that the formula doesn’t work.
But you have to admit, for such a big formula, its dosages are pretty… small.
Test Charge Hardcore Kit Benefits
“Here’s why Test Charge Hardcore is formulated to win!”:
- Non-Steroidal Testosterone Support System
- Works Synergistically With The Body
- Not A Drug Or Prohormone
- Does Not Need To Be Cycled
- Tested Banned Substance Free & Pure
Utilizing Test Charge’s “three-pronged-attack” on natural T levels, Test Charge claims to increase bioavailable “free” T while reducing estrogen levels. While we’re not sure about most of the ingredients in these formulas, their overall 1-2-3 design seems to target these specific benefits.
Who Takes It?
Winners! This is emphasized, then re-emphasized in Test Charge Hardcore’s advertising: “To Be a Winner I Will Amplify My Anabolic Drive!” Needless to say, we’ll need an endorsement from Charlie Sheen before taking Test Charge’s word for it.
Any Side Effects?
Nada. Most reviews seem to suggest that Test Charge doesn’t really do anything, except increase your levels of morning wood (we don’t really consider that a negative side effect). Anecdotally, Test Charge’s primary effects are libido-related, with some users stating that their Johnsons were upright even during inopportune moments (e.g. at the gym).
In that context, we may consider the wood a negative side effect.
Test Charge Hardcore Kit Summary
Pros
- Unique Design. Liquid, Capsule, & Tablet for varying stages of bio-action.
- Affordable. If purchased from the right retailer.
- B5 Favorite. We’re speaking of Boron here. We thought only the best formulas recognized the T-power of this mineral.
Cons
- HUGE Question Mark. Our brains hurt from those Supp Facts.
- Poor Dosages. The ingredients are beside the point with these dosages.
- Poor Reviews. Morning wood (& gym wood) are the only reported “benefits.”
Pricing & Buying Info
- 1 Bottle (1 month): $84.99*
- Available online and in retail stores
*Most retailers trim this price by $30-$40, which is a very reasonable price considering the size & nature of this 3-product T-booster.
Final Word on Test Charge Hardcore Kit
How do we conclude a review like this? It feels like we’re leaving this analysis with more questions than answers. Odds are that’s not a good thing. Even with the “proprietary blend” excuse, EFX Sports still has a lot of explaining to do–especially when there are plenty of sports nutritional supplements that can supply T-boosts with clean transparency. For the record, this T-booster may work, but you won’t hear that from us until we see the evidence.
