The Label Problem
What a “Proprietary Blend” Actually Hides
Here’s what most men don’t realize about the testosterone booster they’re taking right now.
The label says “Proprietary Blend: 1,500mg” and lists six or seven ingredients underneath. Looks impressive. But that 1,500mg is the total weight of every ingredient combined. You have no idea how much of each one you’re getting.
Take zinc, the single most studied mineral for testosterone production. Your body needs 11mg daily (100% RDI) just to maintain normal testosterone synthesis. Published research links zinc deficiency directly to lower free testosterone in men over 35.
Now look at what’s inside Nugenix Total-T, which retails for $69.99/month. Their zinc dose: 1mg. That’s 9% of your daily requirement. Nine percent.
You could get more zinc from a single oyster.
This isn’t a formulation choice. It’s a cost-cutting decision hidden behind a trademarked label. And you’re paying $2.33 per day for it.
But zinc is only half the story. The real question is what else they’re hiding.

The Science
Why 90% of T-Boosters Fail Before the First Capsule
Most testosterone decline in men 35–50 starts with a mineral deficiency. Zinc, magnesium, and boron are enzymatic cofactors. Without them at sufficient levels, your body physically cannot produce testosterone at normal rates. No amount of herbal extract fixes that.
This is what researchers call the “foundation problem.” You can stack every testosterone herb on the market on top of a mineral deficit, and nothing happens. It’s like pouring premium fuel into an engine with no spark plugs.
Addresses the foundation first: zinc, magnesium, and boron at 100% RDI each. Then layers Testosurge® — a clinically studied standardized extract — at 500 mg Testosurge, the dose used to support Free, Bioavailable, and Total Testosterone via SHBG binding.
Testosurge® is a standardized botanical extract, not a raw herb powder. Clinical testing shows improvements in free, bioavailable, and total testosterone. Its SHBG binding mechanism means more of the testosterone your body already makes can actually circulate and do its job — a measurable mechanism, not vague “herbal support.”
This is where it gets specific.

What 847 Verified Buyers Say About the Switch
Results aren’t overnight. They build in stages, and the 847 men who’ve reviewed CLADE describe a consistent pattern.
At 42, I was dragging through every afternoon. Switched to CLADE and within a month my energy held steady past 5pm.
Recovery was tanking. By week four, the bounce-back was back. Week eight, I hit a deadlift PR I’d been chasing for six months.
By week six, my wife commented that I seemed more present and less irritable.
