If you’re looking to build more mass, increasing your natural testosterone production is key. This is even more true if you’re an older lifter. A good testosterone-booster can help. Leave it to 5% Nutrition to provide multiple test-boosting options with one of those options being formulas that include D-Aspartic Acid, an exciting ingredient that supports testosterone levels. 

What Is D-Aspartic Acid

D-Aspartic Acid, also known as DAA, is 1 of 2 naturally occurring forms of the amino acid Aspartic Acid. The other form is L-Aspartic Acid. The L-form is a proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it helps build protein. DAA is not. Instead, DAA affects the endocrine system. It should be noted that most amino acids occur in the D form and the L form.⁽¹⁾

What Does It Do?

D-Aspartic Acid is believed to boost the natural production of testosterone. It's thought to do this in a couple of ways. First, by supporting test production in the testicles. Second, by increasing stimulation of a brain hormone that ultimately promotes higher levels of testosterone.^(2,3)

The major study conducted on DAA used 23 human test subjects and was conducted for 12 days. They used a daily dose of 3,120 mg which resulted in an impressive 42% increase in testosterone levels.⁽⁴⁾

The 5% Nutrition Products That Contain D-Aspartic Acid

Core D-Aspartic Acid

5% Nutrition’s Core D-Aspartic Acid is a capsule-based formula supplying the 3,120 mg clinical dose of DAA. We’ve also added 200 mg of DIM to help control excess estrogen. The easy-to-use capsule format allows you to stack Core DAA with anything. 

Post Gear

Post Gear helps bring your natural hormones back into balance after an aggressive supplement cycle. This goes a long way towards helping you keep your gains. Post Gear is a powerful formula featuring Turkesterone, ZMA, Vitamin D, an Estrogen Control Complex, and a Liver Support Complex. There’s also an Absorption Complex, and did we mention - the full clinical dose of DAA. 

Using D-Aspartic Acid As Part Of A Testosterone Stack

You can use Core D-Aspartic Acid by itself with great results. However, one of the best ways to use it is as a part of a complete 5% Testosterone Stack. Let’s break this Stack down: 

TEST Testosterone Booster

Here’s our explosive testosterone-boosting formula that provides ingredients synergistically designed to increase free testosterone levels. This is important because free testosterone is the amount of testosterone available for muscle growth.

Core ZMA

Of course, 5% Nutrition ZMA is more than just Zinc, Magnesium, and B6. There’s also Boron, which supports free testosterone. Did you expect anything less from 5%?

Core KSM-66

5% Nutrition KSM-66® Ashwagandha provides the highest, most bioavailable concentration of Ashwagandha on the market. This potent ingredient is an adaptogen with several benefits including supporting testosterone production, promoting healthy stress levels, and elevating focus.
