Alpha JYM Review – Clean, Affordable Anabolic T Formula

We like JYM products. SHRED JYM? Awesome.

Pre-JYM? That’s some tasty stimulant goodness.

But this “Alpha” JYM business? Yeah, bro. It means formulator Dr. Jim Stoppani is venturing into TESTOSTERONE territory.

And the end result is what you’d expect: A science-backed, premium-grade supplement designed to boost T, but with a focus on benefits for gym rat bros, like the other JYM products.

Let’s take a closer look at this 5-stage T-booster.

About Alpha JYM

Sold as an “Alpha-strength natural test booster,” Alpha JYM combines 6 purposeful ingredients into a short, solid, affordable T-boosting stack. In an effort to put a positive spin on the T-booster category, Alpha JYM claims “proper ingredients at the effective doses”… And we have to say, the attempt looks successful. Formula notes:

• Five Stage Testosterone Boost: This formula has a T-boosting plan, already proving much more trustworthy than inferior, beta T-boosters.
• Premium, Potent Ingredients: Standardized herbs & concentrated extracts where it matters and heavy mg chunks for all ingredients are awesome.
• Manly Enhancer: Its T, libido, growth & gym performance seem for younger athletes… but Stoppani himself is 45, making it seem good for all ages.

Simple, Sturdy, & Science-Backed, Alpha JYM is vintage JYM for manly mojo.

It might be Satan’s number, but 6 seems to be the appropriate ingredient count here. Skeptics might complain of the lack of vitamins & minerals (where’s Vitamin D & Zinc that are usually found in the Best T-Booster Supplements??), but their absence is intentional—leaving more room for these harder-to-find ingredients:

Fenugreek Extract (50% Saponins), 1,000 mg

As the “Main Ingredient” of this formula, Fenugreek is offered here as a potent 50% Saponin extract at a hefty 1,000 mg daily dosage (if you’re following the “2 servings per day” directive).

This is important considering that Fenugreek is generally not the best T-booster—at least in terms of net T gains. But this high-potent, high-dose extract looks promising, and its huge secondary benefits on libido & sexual health are always a fun addition to any T-boosting supplement.

However, our only concern with Fenugreek, is that it blocks T from converting to DHT… which is quoted as a “Benefit” by Alpha JYM for higher free T levels. While this is true, DHT is an even manlier hormone than testosterone.We don’t wanna block it too much, ‘nah mean, brah?

Damiana (Leaf), 1,000 mg

Damiana begins a series of two odd ingredient options for a formula intended to boost testosterone. Native to Central & South America, Damiana has been used for centuries as a libido enhancer for both men & women.

And the science seems to back its T-promoting, anti-aromatase activities… Yet, other science qualifies the herb as a “phytoestrogen”—i.e. an “estrogen-like” compound. Due to this, Damiana is widely used for post-menopausal women’s health, which, again, is just… odd for a male-driven formula.

Diindolylmethane (DIM), 500 mg

Part 2 of the Odd Ingredients Series: DIM is an acid-derived metabolic of Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C), which is believed to provide a healthy balance of estrogen levels. The theory behind DIM is that it reduces estrogen into its less potent estrogenic forms… leading towards a manlier hormone profile.

The problem(s): DIM is also overwhelmingly used for post-menopausal women’s health—plus, some animal research suggests that it actually decreases T levels under certain conditions.

Ashwagandha Root Extract 5:1, 1,000 mg

In Ayurveda, Ashwagandha is the G.O.A.T.—or, more accurately, the horse for its literal English translation: “The smell of a horse.” In legend, consuming it boosted stamina, but was also believed to give you the power of a horse.

“Alright, well sign me the f*** up.”

A top Adaptogenic herb, Ashwagandha’s anti-stress benefits help men’s health, especially strength, libido, sperm quality, & (yes) T levels.

And this 1,000 mg 5:1 extract bodes well for your testicular man power.

Eurycoma Longifolia Root Extract 100:1, 200 mg

Another legendary herb, Eurycoma Longifolia (or Longjack) ranks as a T-booster that works on our BIG LIST of T-Boosters, showing (free) T-boosts by 37% under certain conditions. It’s believed to accomplish this indirectly by inhibiting T-killing proteins and promoting T-producing hormones & enzymes.

However, it didn’t earn its reputation for boosting T… It earned its reputation as a potent aphrodisiac and this 100:1 extract is sure to get the job done.

Quercetin (as Quercetin Dehydrate), 500 mg

3,3′,4’5,7-Penthydroxyflavone, or Quercetin (if you will) is a bioflavonoid found in many foods and plants such as red wine, onions, green tea, apples, berries, and so on. In typical flavonoid fashion, Quercetin has antioxidant & anti-inflammatory effects, particularly on the prostate. It’s used here to block the infamous UGT2B17 enzyme from converting T into glucuronide, which is excreted from the body.

Formula Analysis

The underlying philosophy of Alpha JYM’s “Alpha-strength natural test booster” centers on their “Five Stage Testosterone Boost” formula:

1. First, Alpha JYM encourages your body to produce more T.
2. Next, estrogen levels are blunted.
3. Antioxidant support helps T-producing function of the testicles.
4. Excretion of T is reduced to maintain higher blood T levels.
5. Inhibits T-binding proteins (ex. SHBG) for optimized T action.

For the most part, Alpha JYM’s ingredient choices check out. Technically, Fenugreek accomplishes most of these for its T-boosting, SHBG-inhibiting, antioxidant effects. Yet, Alpha JYM uses Fenugreek primarily for T-boosts, which is accompanied by Eurycoma Longifolia.

It uses the rest of the formula to target the other angles on male hormones: Estrogen levels (Damiana & DIM), antioxidant support (Quercetin & Ashwagandha), and reduced T excretion (Quercetin).

• In a nutshell, Alpha JYM does what it says it’ll do.

We question Damiana & DIM as estrogenic “male enhancers” and Fenugreek, while awesome, can drain the manly hormone DHT.

Theoretically, it very well might be a benefit since DHT converts from T, and increased T consequently leads to increased DHT—and too much DHT is detrimental to male health.

However, because Alpha JYM can’t boast the manpower of heavier hitting T-boosters (i.e. D-Aspartic Acid, Mucuna pruriens, Boron…), this intent on checking DHT levels seems out of place.

Even so, Alpha JYM comes from solid manufacturers and a formulator (Jim Stoppani, PhD) who isn’t afraid to stand by his formula (even though it spells his name WRONG!). The ingredients are in solid form & top dosages; The “Other Ingredients” are held to a minimum; and, best of all, IT WORKS.

Alpha JYM Benefits

The “Supported Goal” purported by Alpha JYM is simply “Build muscle” through a healthy testosterone & estrogen balance. Which essentially sums up the benefits of Alpha JYM—however, they’re selling themselves a little short here:

• For instance, the routes that many of these ingredients take to boost T are within themselves benefits: Ashwagandha’s decreased stress levels, Quercetin’s antioxidant properties, Damiana’s NO production…

In total, Alpha JYM is a T-booster that will help increase muscle mass, enhance strength gains, maintain hormone levels, & resist stress.

Not too shabby, Jimbo.

Who Takes It?

Jim Stoppani takes it. And we’re going to say it: This shit’s the real deal. Since Stoppani is 45, physically active older men seem to be a marketing target… but its anabolic muscle support and the JYM pedigree seem to us to be designed more for intense younger bodybuilders. If you’re 35+, a more mature T-booster formula may be better for you.

Any Side Effects?

Probably not. Which is a testament to Alpha JYM’s premium grade, easy-on-the-GI herbal extracts. Cheaper ingredients don’t bode so well on the system.
