Centrapeak Vs Nugenix (2023) What’s Their Key Difference?

The main difference between Centrapeak and Nugenix is down to the types of ingredients used to influence how the body produces and processes sex hormones.

Both products make a lot of claims about having a great, scientifically proven formula to increase testosterone levels.

But we found that there was quite a significant difference in how these testosterone boosters performed.

Both products come in easy-to-swallow capsules, and I was pleased to see that neither of them claimed to work within days.

Even with higher doses, it’s not possible for natural T-boosters to work as fast as androgenic medical steroids. The interesting thing is what our testing data had to say about the effectiveness.

Let’s take a closer look.

Studies have shown that combining vitamin B6 with zinc and magnesium can significantly help with T-levels [4]. And there is also good evidence to show that it may promote cognitive well-being and brain health [5].

Boron

This is another common ingredient in T-booster supplements, as it has been tied to controlling sex hormone-binding globulin [6]. Essentially, this can help to reduce how much testosterone is broken down.

Magnesium

This is another great testosterone booster, as studies have shown that both active and sedentary men will experience better T-levels with regular magnesium intake [7]. It may also help with muscle recovery for athletes.

Vitamin K2

Animal studies with vitamin K2 have revealed a link to improved testicular function, which could have an impact on libido [8]. But vitamin K2 can also improve nervous system functions and cardiovascular health [9].

Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C)

Indole-3-carbinol doesn’t directly work as a testosterone booster, but it can help to suppress the natural processes that break down testosterone into estrogen [10].

Ashwagandha

This is a herb often used in traditional African medicine, and there is evidence that ashwagandha has testosterone-boosting capabilities [11].

“Ashwagandha’s ability to improve reproductive health is attributed to its antioxidative effects in combination with its ability to increase testosterone levels.”

This is another proven testosterone booster that influences fertility as well [12]. AndCentrapeak has one of the higher doses we have found, which should help with improved sexual well-being.

Korean Panax Ginseng

Ginseng has been used for thousands of years as a fertility enhancer, and modern studies have also shown that it can directly improve natural testosterone levels [13].

Rhodiola Rosea

Rhodiola Rosea is a well-established testosterone booster. What I found most interesting about Rhodiola Rosea is that it doesn’t just impact sex hormone levels but could also help reduce the stress hormone cortisol [14].

Phosphatidylserine (PS)

Studies and research trials have revealed that PS can significantly boost testosterone production in a natural way [15].

Luteolin

This is a recent addition to the Centrapeak formula, and the interesting thing here is that it may help reduce hypogonadism, which is a leading reason men might have low testosterone [16].

Bioperine

This black pepper extract is included to assist in faster nutrient absorption [17]. And considering the long list of ingredients, this should help to activate them a lot sooner.

The first thing we looked at was the before and after blood test results from the test team that took the Centrapeak testosterone booster.

All six of the men in that team had between 10% and 35% improvements in free testosterone as well as lower estrogen.

The other thing that we noted in the journal entries from this group is that they all commented about generally improved mood and mental well-being with lower levels of stress.

We also noticed a positive impact on muscle development and a reduction in belly fat.

And my nutritionist was highly impressed that the company is very open about all the ingredients and dosage.

Now let’s look at the second one of the testosterone boosters and break down our findings.

I’ll first highlight that the list of ingredients is much shorter. That doesn’t automatically mean it’s not as good, and we had our nutritionist review the formula.

Vitamin B6 And B12

B vitamins play a key role in the human body for red blood cells and physical performance [18]. But particularly B6 is also tied to the body’s ability to release more testosterone on a consistent basis [19].

Zinc

Zinc is important for a wide range of hormones and for the proper functioning of the immune system [20]. But Nugenix only contains 1 mg of zinc compared to 20 mg in Centrapeak, which would probably not be enough for higher testosterone levels.

L-Citrulline Malate

This amino acid is common in pre-workout shakes as it can provide an energy boost [21]. But we couldn’t find evidence that it would impact T-levels or male vitality.

Fenugreek supplementation is known to work as a testosterone booster, but most supporting studies have used higher doses than what Nugenix is likely to include [22].

Tribulus Extract

The use of Tribulus as a testosterone booster has had mixed reviews in the nutrition community, and that might be an indication of what to expect from the test results [23].
