APE DarkNight Review – A T-Booster That Thinks It’s A Fat Burner

We sleep because we’re tired, because we’ve had a long day, and most importantly, we sleep because we gotta lift tons of iron the next day and we ain’t lifting jack if we don’t have our beauty Z’s.

More than a fatigue-reducer, did you know sleeping can also help recover our precious T? I shit you not, bro.

Athletic Edge thinks it’s a good idea to take advantage of this nightly “T-Surge” by giving us APE DarkNight.

Will this Batman-like T-booster actually give us more T while we get some Z’s? Let’s find out!

About APE DarkNight

APE DarkNight aims to boost our T by the time we wake up. We like the approach but we also think it’s also likely to give us Sequoia Tree-like morning wood and force us into weird pissing positions. Formula notes:

• Standardized goodness: Premium & standardized quality forms of many ingredients, for some off-the-charts potency.
• Fat burner hybrid: A T-booster that makes you burn fat while you sleep? Whoa…
• Clear label: No prop blends here, bro! We gotta give mad props to the APE for no prop-nonsense.

A Fat-Burner/T-Booster/Sleep-Aid Hybrid?

The APE series has a way of hybridizing their T-boosters. The first APE we reviewed featured a PWO hybrid and APE DarkNight seems to continue this trend by building Fat-Burner-T-Booster stack.

Furthermore, this crazy APE is designed for sleepytime. It’s not the only T-booster that uses a nighttime strategy (Nugenix PM is another good example), but we think it’s a clever idea. Let’s break down the ingredients in this formula:

Vitamins & Minerals

First and foremost, let’s check out the basics. APE Darknight supplies a good complement of T-boosting vitamins and minerals, especially their Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Magnesium & Zinc. These are all smart choices, but the forms and dosages could ALL be better. For example, we’d prefer to see that Zinc in the Citrate form, and P-5-P B6 is flat out better than the commodity form you see here.

Nighttime, Weight Loss & Testosterone Boost Matrix

Now we get to the good shit: This is the matrix that drives APE Darknight to success:

• Fenugreek: It’s standardized to 50% saponins and proven to be a potent sex enhancer but a mild T-booster.
• Green Tea Extract. Our #1 Fat burner is standardized for potent fat-shredding activity. But does it have caffeine in it? If so, don’t make sense for a sleep aid, bro.
• Gymnema Sylvestre: This is an herb we don’t always see but has been shown to help with blood sugar and might even help your sweet tooth. It’s also standardized to potency which means it might just help control those “pesky nighttime food cravings” as APE states.
• Green Coffee Bean. Another member of our best fat burners make it here. Green Coffee Bean is known to mostly ignite your fat metabolism while helping you maintain blood sugar balance. Standardized form here for potency, with good dosage too.
• Diindolylmethane. DIM is mostly used for estrogen health specifically regulating excessive estrogen hormones in the body. It’s not our favorite T-booster.
• Long Jack. Another boner-enhancer capable of raising free testosterone. One study even cites its ability to raise testosterone by as much as 37%! The quality is there but the dosage is a little lighter than what we see in other T-Boosters, but it’s standardized for greater potency, which helps to compensate.
• Melatonin. Melatonin is known to induce sleepiness and while 2 mg looks weak, it’s actually pretty standard dosage.

Formula Analysis

The thing we like about APE DarkNight is its potential in boosting T, and making us burn fat while we sleep, and helping with the sleep itself! How awesome is that? We like the concept and we really dig the ingredients they picked (save for DIM, meh) and it even has Melatonin… but what is APE DarkNight really?

Just look at it and ask yourself “Is this a T-booster with fat burning on the side or a fat burner that might raise T?”

It has the right ingredients for fat burning and weight control, with some decent dosages, too. But as great a fat burner APE DarkNight appears to be, we’re not quite as confident in its T-Boosting capabilities. Really, as a testosterone booster we see this formula as Fenugreek + Longjack + a poor man’s ZMA combo. Now, this is OK, but it’s not a balls-out testosterone formula.

The “sleep” component of the formula is really just the melatonin, and that’s not very exciting. We think you need some stronger sleep support here, since APE Darknight is giving you fat-burners at bedtime which have a tendency to ramp us up.

Overall, the idea behind APE Darknight is pretty great, and the ingredient forms they use are top-nothch…. but the execution could be a little better. It’s trying to be several types of supplements at once, which usually runs the risk of watering down the benefits of each one.

APE DarkNight Benefits

It’s a decent fat burner, might help with appetite, and could tweak your T levels upwards a bit but don’t expect anything outside of a “normal” boost. We’re not even sure you’ll feel the T boost but it should show up on a serum T test. And, uh, you’ll wake up with a really hard boner if that’s your thing. As a sex enhancer, APE has got some potency. As a sleep aid, meh, not so much. Melatonin is good for sleep, but we’re just not sure if it’s good enough to overcome the stimulatory effects of green tea extract, which does not appear to be decaffeinated in this formula.

Who Takes It?

Bros who like the idea of gaining while they sleep but it’s not for lazy boys. True, it can burn fat and raise T a bit without you moving a muscle but you still have to exert mad effort during the day if you want this to work. Sorry, couch potatoes.

Any Side Effects?

If you don’t like the idea of waking up or sleeping with tree-stump boners, then you will probably hate this product. On top of boner problems, a study notes a possible decrease in DHT when you take 500 mg of fenugreek extract. DHT is like testosterone’s really, really big bro so if you boost T but decrease DHT then you’re doing it wrong. Also, a shoutout to DIM’s side effects which include a decrease in sperm quality and lower T.
