Vintage Blast: The Pre-Workout That Can Increase Testosterone
We know what you’re probably thinking… “Isn’t Vintage Blast a pre-workout?” Yes, it is. While Vintage Blast has the ability to provide you with sustained energy via a micro-encapsulated caffeine, insane pumps thanks to key vasodilation (the dilatation of blood vessels, which decreases blood pressure) ingredients and amino acids that can maximize workout performance and focus, Old School Labs took things one step further by adding D-aspartic acid to aid in increasing testosterone levels.
Let’s be honest, does your pre-workout do that? If you’re using Vintage Blast, that answer would be an emphatic “yes.”
In this article, we are going to break down exactly how the addition of D-aspartic acid in Vintage Blast can help boost your natural production of testosterone and amplify your muscle growth potential.
What is D-Aspartic Acid?
D-aspartic acid (or commonly referred to as DAA) is an amino acid. While many think of amino acids as essential amino acids (EAAs) or branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in the supplement world, D-aspartic acid is a little different. While many amino acids you may find in supplements aid in helping to build muscle, DAA helps produce hormones.
When DAA is introduced into the system, it helps activate the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and testes to ramp up luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), growth hormone (GH), and testosterone.
Looking at common supplements containing D-aspartic acid, most are testosterone boosters. The combination of DAA in a pre-workout such as Vintage Blast provides an added benefit and muscle-building element that is lacking in most pre-workouts these days.
What Does the Research Say About DAA Increasing Testosterone?
You want to get the most out of your supplements, right? And you want to know that what you’re putting in your body is safe. Below, we will examine what the research shows regarding D-aspartic acid on increasing testosterone and help you get a better understanding of why it is an integral part of the Vintage Blast formula.
- Increase Testosterone by 42% in 12 Days
A study published in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology looked at how D-aspartic acid affected men. A group of men were given a daily dose of D-aspartic acid for a total of 12 days, and a control group was given a placebo. After the 12 days, they found that those who were given the D-aspartic acid showed an average 42% increase in testosterone.
The next question became what happens after they stop taking D-aspartic acid? What the researchers found was that even three days after stopping the DAA supplement, those men who initially took D-aspartic acid still had 22% higher levels of testosterone when compared to their baseline at the start of the study.
- Increase Testosterone by 60% in 90 Days
While the first example of DAA supplementation looked at the effects of D-aspartic acid in the 12 and 15-day range, another study published in Advances in Sexual Medicine looked at a longer duration of use. In this study, they used infertile men between the ages of 27-43 and found that after 90 days, there was an increase in testosterone between 30-60%.
Why Would You Want to Use D-Aspartic Acid?
At the age of 20, men are about at their peak in terms of testosterone production, and levels start to slowly drop off. Then, something happens around the age of 30 (some may even experience this in their 20’s), where men will start to notice a much faster decline in testosterone levels. Generally, the decline is anywhere from 1-2% per year.
As this takes place, it becomes not only more challenging to build muscle but increasingly harder to even preserve your lean muscle mass. Many men start to see an increased accumulation of fat mass and a softer musculature.
Being that D-aspartic acid has the potential to increase testosterone production, including DAA into your supplement regimen may be a good idea.
Vintage Blast Provides Additional Testosterone Benefits Other Than DAA
Clearly, the inclusion of D-aspartic acid in Vintage Blast plays a role in increasing testosterone, but it doesn’t just stop there.
The whole reason for using a pre-workout is to help push yourself in the gym. That act alone can also help boost your testosterone levels. Research has found that men who exercise regularly had a higher level of testosterone than men who were sedentary.
When you combine the fact that pushing yourself in the gym and using a supplement such as Vintage Blast before your workouts can boost testosterone, you have a much greater chance of seeing better results from your efforts — even as you age. By having higher levels of testosterone, you can build more muscle. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate, which can also help you stay lean.
As you can see, all of this goes hand-in-hand. So, rather than using a standard run-of-the-mill pre-workout, try Vintage Blast and experience for yourself why so many men have made the switch.
