The Science:
A 2009 study showed 42% increase in testosterone after 12 days of supplementation (3.12g daily)
Research demonstrates increased LH (luteinizing hormone) production by 33%, which signals testosterone production
Studies show improved sperm count and motility in subfertile men
Key Study: Topo et al., 2009 - Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology [PMID: 19860889]
Maca Root
Maca Root Extract (6.25mg)
What it does: Peruvian adaptogen that supports libido and sexual function without directly affecting hormone levels.
The Science:
Improved sexual desire in 42% of participants after 8 weeks
Enhanced sperm production and motility
Works through non-hormonal pathways, making it safe for long-term use
Key Study: Gonzales et al., 2002 - Andrologia [PMID: 12472620]
Zinc
Zinc (5mg - 50% NRV)
What it does: Essential mineral for testosterone production, immune function, and over 300 enzymatic processes. Zinc deficiency directly correlates with hypogonadism.
The Science:
Men with zinc deficiency showed 75% improvement in testosterone after supplementation
Critical for sperm production - zinc concentration in seminal fluid is 100x higher than blood
Protects testosterone from conversion to estrogen via aromatase inhibition
Key Study: Prasad et al., 1996 - Nutrition [PMID: 8875519]
Fenugreek
Fenugreek Seed Extract (6.25mg)
What it does: Contains furostanol saponins that support free testosterone levels and strength.
The Science:
Maintained free testosterone during resistance training
25% improvement in bench press strength
Enhanced libido scores in 81% of participants
Key Study: Wilborn et al., 2010 - International Journal of Sport Nutrition [PMID: 20935349]
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 (2.5μg - 50% NRV)
What it does: Hormone-like vitamin essential for testosterone production and overall hormonal health.
The Science:
Men with sufficient vitamin D have 25% higher testosterone
Vitamin D receptors present in all reproductive tissues
Seasonal testosterone variations correlate with vitamin D levels
Key Study: Pilz et al., 2011 - Hormone and Metabolic Research [PMID: 21154195]

Frequently asked questions
See All FAQ’s
How long before I see results from MH1?
Results vary by individual and the specific benefits you're tracking. Based on clinical research on our
key ingredients:
Energy & Focus: Many users report improved energy within 7-14 days, primarily from B-vitamins and CoQ10
Testosterone Support: D-Aspartic Acid studies show changes in 12-30 days, though blood work is needed to confirm
Fertility Parameters: Clinical studies on fertility typically measure at 3-month intervals, as sperm development takes approximately 74 days
Overall Wellbeing: Most users report feeling "generally better" by week 3-4
We recommend taking MH1 consistently for at least 3 months to experience full benefits, as many nutrients need time to build optimal levels in your system.
Today, TCM can be found in over 185 countries and continues to expand its influence as a mainstream alternative medicine practice along with conventional medicine. Read more here.
Can I take MH1 with other medications or supplements?
While MH1 uses food-based nutrients at safe doses, you should always consult your healthcare provider before combining with medications, especially:
Blood thinners (due to Vitamin K interaction potential)
Diabetes medications (Ashwagandha may affect blood sugar)
Thyroid medications (Ashwagandha may influence thyroid hormones)
Other testosterone supplements (to avoid excessive doses)
If you're taking additional single-nutrient supplements, check you're not exceeding recommended daily amounts. For example, MH1 provides 50% NRV of Vitamin D3, so additional D3 supplementation should be adjusted accordingly.
Why these specific doses? Some competitors use higher amounts.
Our dosing philosophy prioritises optimal over maximal. Each dose is based on:
Clinical Evidence: We use amounts shown effective in human studies, not theoretical doses
Synergy: Lower doses of multiple ingredients often work better than mega-doses of single nutrients
Safety: All doses are well within safe upper limits for daily, long-term use
Bioavailability: We use highly absorbable forms, requiring lower doses than cheaper alternatives
For example, our 187.5mg of D-Aspartic Acid is intentionally moderate - studies showing 3g daily doses also reported side effects. Our formula achieves results through the synergistic action of 18 ingredients, not mega-dosing single components.
Remember: More isn't always better in supplementation. Optimal dosing means effective results without unnecessary excess.
