Do Testosterone Boosters Work? What the Reviews Found in Plain Words
Mostly no, going by the two large reviews we cite. A 2020 look at 50 products found data of a rise in testosterone for about a quarter of them, and a 2024 review found that most proposed boosters fail to raise total testosterone. One ingredient, tongkat ali, has some support. No study tested HoneyBoost.

What did the 2020 review of products find?
Most products had no data at all.
A 2020 team looked at 50 products sold as testosterone boosters and checked each ingredient list against published studies. Only 24.8% had any data showing a rise in testosterone, 10.1% had data showing a fall, and 61.5% had no data at all (Clemesha et al. 2020). In plain words, for six products in ten, the claim had nothing behind it, and for one in ten the data pointed the other way.
The review looked at ingredients, not at the finished products. A bottle with a good ingredient can still hold too little of it, which is the question a label has to answer.
What did the 2024 review of studies find?
A short list that passes, a long one that does not.
A 2024 review of 52 studies looked at 27 proposed boosters and asked whether each raised serum total testosterone. Most did not. Tongkat ali, called Eurycoma in the paper, was judged "possibly effective" (Morgado et al. 2024). A separate 2022 meta-analysis found higher total testosterone after Eurycoma supplementation, but seven of nine studies used one branded extract at 100 to 600 mg a day, and the authors call for more research (Leisegang et al. 2022).
| Source | What it found | What it leaves open |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 product review | 24.8% had data of a rise, 10.1% of a fall, 61.5% none | Finished products were not tested |
| 2024 review of studies | Most proposed boosters did not raise total testosterone | Tongkat ali only "possibly effective" |
| 2022 tongkat ali meta-analysis | Higher total testosterone | Mostly one branded extract at 100 to 600 mg a day |
| 2002 maca trial | No change in testosterone at 1,500 to 3,000 mg a day | Desire rose in self-ratings |
Does a higher number mean it works?
Not by itself.
"Work" can mean three things: a higher lab number, a felt change in drive or energy, or a fix for a medical problem. The reviews speak mostly to the first. A rise in blood total testosterone is not the same as a better sex life, and the AUA ties a diagnosis of deficiency to both consistently low levels and symptoms on two early-morning tests (AUA, Testosterone Deficiency Guideline). A man with normal levels has little room to rise.
Expectation matters as well. Sexual function responds strongly to a dummy pill, which is why a friend's story or a testimonial proves little and why trials use a placebo group.

See packsWhat does that mean for HoneyBoost?
It leaves the question open, and says why.
The gummy lists tongkat ali at 25 mg, the ingredient with the most human data on blood testosterone. The studied range was 100 to 600 mg a day, so one gummy is roughly 4% to 25% of it, and the studies mostly used a branded, standardized extract that the label does not name. The other lines are 10 mg each of maca, horny goat weed, damiana, mucuna and L-arginine, plus 2.5 mg of zinc. No study tested the gummy, and the label names no condition.

HoneyBoost questions people ask
How many testosterone booster products had no supporting data in 2020?
About 61.5% of the 50 products reviewed had no data at all on testosterone.
Which ingredient does the 2024 review rate best?
Tongkat ali, judged possibly effective, while most other proposed boosters did not raise total testosterone.
Does a higher testosterone lab value prove a better result?
No. A diagnosis needs low levels and symptoms, and a number alone is not an outcome.
Can a single review say whether a specific gummy works?
No. Reviews cover ingredients and groups of products; none tested HoneyBoost.
