What does the supplement industry do when it brands through the color wheel?
It moves onto the Periodic Table of Elements.
Performix dashes away from the unoriginal color-coordinated supplement offshoots, gearing instead towards cool-sounding element names like Iridium in its Performix Iridium Super Male Ti, the testosterone booster product in the Performix Iridium Series.
Why Iridium?
Who cares: It sounds cool!
Judging by the cost & ingredient, Performix may well have used the entire Periodic Table to craft this pricey booster. Let’s see how it pans out for them in this review.

- Patented Ingredients: Performix is a quality brand that fills its brands with branded ingredients, delivered in branded bead technology.
- Yuuuuge Price Tag: Some big-time male enhancers are worth the price tags thrown at them, but, uh… Performix really jacks up the price on this one.

Performix always has the purdiest pills (until you read the “Other Ingredients”).
There’s a price to pay when you look as good as Performix, and that price for Iridium Super Male Ti is sugar, talc, “Pharmaceutical Glaze,” and a number of other junk additives. Fortunately, the underlying formula contradicts the outward “glaze,” demonstrating decent test boosting potential, starting with the vitamins & minerals:
- Vitamin D3 – #4 entry on our BIG List, high dosage, high quality
- Vitamin B6 – Low B6 is associated with low T, but P-5-P is better
- Zinc as ZX3 – #2 on our BIG List, Performix’s ZX3 is a premium brand
- Selenium – Potential role in prostate health & sperm quality
Not too shabby. Although, the majority of the product’s formula is locked away in the:
Performix Iridium Super Male Ti Performance Complex
Performix Iridium Super Male Ti’s meat: The Performance Complex.
And guess what: It’s proprietary. (Meh!)
Using highly complex math, we’ve figured that this blend’s 1,181 mg dosage averages out to a potential 98.4 mg per ingredient, which, well… honestly, isn’t great for a T-booster. However, it gets better when you take a look at the patented potency of these test boosters:
- Ashwagandha – KSM-66 branded extract
- Eurycoma Longifolia – LJ100 branded extract
- Fenugreek – Furosap branded extract
Even the non-patented sex-enhancing herbs are impressive–e.g. Horny Goat Weed std. to 10% Icariin–made all the more impressive by the blend’s inclusion of one Bioperine Black Pepper Extract, a low-dose requiring digestive absorption enhancer.
Additional man-enhancing bioactivities can be found in the aromatase inhibitors (i.e. estrogen reducers) Diindolylmethane, Resveratrol, & Reishi, possibly giving Iridium Super Male Ti a significant anabolic male hormone edge. But, again, it’s hard to tell without knowing the ingredient dosages.
Formula Analysis
First, let’s praise this proprietary blend for its exceptional potency & quality across the board. Altogether we have 12 ingredients, nearly all of them supplied as standardized extracts, with exception to a couple plain powders. It’s this attention to quality that somewhat makes up for the biggest issue with the Performance Complex: The fact that it’s a proprietary blend.
And a surprisingly low-dosed prop blend at that.
Perhaps the “MULTI-PHASE Extended Release Beadlets” design compensates for the blend’s inadequacies? We’ll need to see the research on that first before jumping to any conclusions.
Admittedly, the TERRA Bead technology carries significant sex appeal, which perhaps explains the high price tags attached to every Performix test booster product. We won’t spoil the big surprise on this one (or perhaps you already know Iridium Super Male Ti’s price, and that’s what brought you to this review), but uh… it’s only a few sections below, and it’s definitely worth checking out.
Strictly in terms of ingredient choice, Performix Iridium Super Male Ti showcases a diverse array of bioeffects: increased “free” T, reduced cortisol, inhibited estrogen, enhanced antioxidant capacity, & so on.
But this diversity needs to be followed up by two questions:
- Do you trust that Performix’s prop blend will (can*) deliver?
- Is it worth the price?
Frankly, we know of better, more transparent test boosters selling at much, much shorter dollar digits. Until Performix convinces us that their tech is the real deal, we’re not entirely sold on Iridium Super Male Ti.
Performix Iridium Super Male Ti Benefits
Not only does Performix Iridium Super Male Ti look awesome but it has awesome sounding benefits as well, including:
- Ballistic Strength
- Virility Support
- Cognitive Priming
Ballistic – /bəˈlistik/ – adj. – relating to projectiles or their flight.
Of course, Performix doesn’t literally suggest that it’s product will make your strength quote-unquote “ballistic.” (We stopped holding such high standards on supplement marketing a long time ago.) But we felt we’d highlight the absurdity of the claim to highlight the ballsy, flashy nature of Performix products. We hope the boldness is evidence of true strength.
Who Takes It?
Hustlers & Hustlees. The ability to afford Performix Iridium Super Male Ti either means you’re A) husting, or B) being hustled. Perhaps both? Is it possible to both hustle & be hustled? Iridium Super Male Ti answers that with a phat YES.
Any Side Effects?
None reported. Given the product’s exceptionally high quality & digestive support, we’d be surprised to hear of any serious adverse effects. On the whole, the customer reviews on this product are fairly positive, with the negative reviews mentioning nothing on side effects.
In reality, the negative reviews simply dictate disappointment with the product’s lack of any effects, a statement made by one reviewer that was followed by this hopeful message from GNC:
Props to GNC for paying proper respect to the “money-back” bro-code!

Final Word on Performix Iridium Super Male Ti
Price aside, Performix Iridium Super Male Ti is a competent, somewhat comprehensive testosterone booster, targeting several aspects of male health with a well-researched testosterone boosters. Even so, we wouldn’t rank it as the best test booster on the market, nor do we think it’s worth that insane $169.99 price tag. Of course, Performix may prove us wrong when they actually prove the worth of their MULTI-PHASE bead technology, but until then we’re not too willing to dish out the dough.
