Afterdark | XYO-Test | 100 Capsules

Afterdark XYO-Test is a capsule-based hormone support formula built around a clear objective: support total androgen status, free testosterone availability, libido, and training readiness through a layered approach instead of relying on one headline ingredient. The backbone is strong for the category. You get 500mg T-200 Tongkat Ali, 500mg Fadogia agrestis extract, 500mg purified shilajit extract, 100mg ProtoTest dioscorea nipponica extract standardized to 50% protodioscin, 100mg stinging nettle root, 100mg DIM, and 5mg elemental boron from boron citrate. That puts several of the formula’s most important testosterone-support pieces at doses that are at least meaningful and, in some cases, aggressive by category standards.

Tongkat Ali is one of the better-supported ingredients in this space. Human data on concentrated Eurycoma longifolia extracts suggests benefits for libido, stress physiology, and in some populations, total and free testosterone. A 500mg 200:1 extract is a serious inclusion and should be one of the formula’s primary drivers for users who respond well to tongkat. Shilajit at 500mg is another standout. Purified shilajit has human data showing support for total testosterone and fertility-related markers at similar intake ranges, likely through mitochondrial, mineral, and fulvic compound-related effects. Boron at 5mg is well selected for the goal of hormonal support; research has linked boron intake with favorable shifts in free testosterone and steroid hormone metabolism in some contexts.

The free-testosterone angle is reinforced by stinging nettle root and DIM. Nettle is commonly used for its interaction with sex hormone binding globulin pathways, while DIM is included for estrogen metabolism support through indole-derived pathways. This pairing makes sense in a formula aimed not just at producing testosterone, but at improving the hormonal environment around it. Red wine extract and pomegranate extract add polyphenol support that may help with oxidative stress and vascular aspects of male performance, though these are secondary players here rather than primary drivers.

ProtoTest supplies protodioscin, a saponin often positioned for libido and androgen support. The 100mg dose of a 50% extract yields a meaningful amount of active protodioscin relative to many weaker “tribulus-style” products. Fadogia at 500mg is a popular inclusion in modern testosterone formulas, but the evidence base is much thinner than tongkat or shilajit. It is best viewed as an experimental category ingredient with anecdotal popularity rather than a clinically settled staple.

There is one clear transparency limitation: the 310mg LHFSH Complex is proprietary and includes vitex, acetyl-L-carnitine HCl, DHEA, and gamma-butyrobetaine without individual disclosure. That matters because DHEA is hormonally active and deserves a transparent dose. The inclusion may increase the formula’s potency for some users, but it also makes informed screening harder compared with a fully open label.

What to expect: day 1 is usually subtle. This is not a stimulant product. Some users may notice a mild uptick in libido, drive, warmth, or sense of readiness, but the real value shows up over 2-4 weeks of consistent use. That’s when the combination of tongkat, shilajit, boron, and the free-test support matrix is more likely to translate into better training aggression, improved sexual health markers, and a more resilient overall “on” feeling. In a category full of pixie dust and tribulus wallpaper, XYO-Test distinguishes itself by putting multiple serious male performance ingredients at meaningful doses—while still requiring honesty about the hidden proprietary blend.
