WHAT'S IN BARRACUDA?
D-ASPARTIC ACID (DAA)
D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) is a non-essential amino acid that plays a vital role in the production of several male sex hormones, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and growth hormone (GH). Increased production of these hormones supports greater testosterone production in the body. In fact, research has demonstrated that consuming 3g / day of DAA (the same dose in Barracuda) for 12 days increased testosterone production 42% in men![1]L-CARNITINE (COMPLEX)
Commonly supplemented for its fat burning benefits, L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT) is a highly bioavailable form of carnitine that also touts some impressive pro-testosterone benefits too. LCLT increases androgen receptor density[2] which essentially makes anabolic hormones (i.e. testosterone) operate more efficiently, and it also enhances sperm motility.[3]MACAPURE™ MACA EXTRACT
A staple of native Peruvians for centuries, Maca has a long and storied history as a powerful aphrodisiac and anti-stress plant. This potent botanical also has been shown to boost fertility and sexual desire, aside from its libido-boosting properties.[6,7] And, if you happen to be stressed all the time (which can torpedo testosterone levels), maca can help there too. On top of its man-making benefits, maca also functions as an adaptogen, which combats stress and lead to improvements in memory, learning, and performance.[8]SAFED MUSLI
Safed Musli is another popular adaptogenic herb that’s also has a long history of use as an aphrodisiac. It’s been noted to increase spermatogenesis (sperm production) and improve erectile strength as well as sperm count.[5,6] Safed musli also supports an optimal hormonal environment for maximizing natural testosterone production since it helps reduce cortisol and lower stress.EURYCOMA LONGIFOLIA
A staple of Ayurveda, Eurycoma Longifolia (Longjack) is a profound aphrodisiac with volumes of research demonstrating its effectiveness for enhancing hormone regulation, sexual health, and even body composition.[7,8,9] This powerful plant can also increase sperm production and support erection quality and frequency.TESTOSURGE™
The leading form of Fenugreek extract on the market, TestoSurge is a premium-grade extract of the popular male enhancement botanical shown in clinical settings to improve body composition and anabolic hormone environment in men. More specifically, TestoSurge was shown to significantly reduce body fat percentage while increasing total testosterone and bioavailable testosterone.[10] TestoSurge promotes healthy aromatase levels, which keeps the crucial estrogen-testosterone balance in favor of more available testosterone to fuel muscle growth and fat loss.BIOPERINE - BLACK PEPPER EXTRACT
To ensure your body absorbs every milligram of man-making, testosterone-boosting goodness, MTS Nutrition includes piperine, the pungent alkaloid present in black pepper responsible for its “bite”. Piperine improves ingredient bioavailability and uptake by inhibiting certain enzymes that metabolize compounds in supplements.[11] This ensures the bioactives in Barracuda survive long enough in your body to get the job done and not go to waste.FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
