About
D-Pol is a testosterone booster from Purus Labs.
The manufacturer says the product was developed to help raise the user’s free testosterone levels. It could also improve mood, increase sex drive, boost muscle strength and speed up fat loss.
The product features ingredients which are often found in this type of product. One example is vitamin D3 – which Purus Labs says could “increase in total, bioactive and free testosterone levels”.
D-Pol also contains D-aspartic acid, an amino acid that – according to the people behind the product – has been shown to produce “higher levels of free testosterone after 12 days of use”.
There are 30 servings in every 138g tub of D-Pol.

Huge Gains – Undeniably Effective – Minimal Side Effects – Another D-Pol Advocate
—-Introduction—-
D-Pol has got to be one of the most heavily reviewed supplements on SR and understandably so. This is the 2nd time I’ve used a NTB and the first D-Aspartic Acid based. It was the overwhelmingly positive feedback that got me to try it in the first place, and now that I’ve completed my cycle I can attest that the hype is justified. My strength went through the roof and throughout the month I was regularly shocking myself with the weights I was moving. I also have a great appreciation for the effort Purus Labs puts in to make sure that their claims are substantiated with the science behind them. If you want to know why a product is formulated the way it is, you can navigate to their website to see the research. Be sure you take it all with a grain of salt though, and use it as a starting point for your own research. They don’t provide citations and their science is going to be understandably skewed to highlight the findings that favor their products, but overall I’ve always found it to be sound and thorough. I learned with my first NTB that my body tries to rebound with estrogen spikes, so I stacked this product with an AI (Arimistane) starting after 10 days. The Arimistane worked very well in combination and this appears to be a common stack for other users.
—-Ingredient Profile—-
D-Aspartic Acid is the main ingredient coming in at 3.12g per serving, and is responsible for the claims of increased free testosterone production. It is combined with Nitratene at 480mg per serving, responsible for increasing NO levels in the blood. You also have a suite of B Vitamins, 6, 9 & 12; as well as Vitamin D.
—-Taste/Mixability/Dosing—-
The recommended dosage is 3 pills daily with a meal. Purus recommends to take the daily serving with the meal before your workout, but I took it with the first meal of the day and it still worked very well. Maybe next time (I do plan to cycle again) I’ll try to take it with the preworkout meal to see if it makes any difference, but I really couldn’t be happier with the results as is. This should not be taken on an empty stomach. I tried that one morning when I had to lift early instead of after work and I will never make that mistake again! Taking it with food helps with the vitamin D absorption anyway. Purus offers a custard flavored powder as an alternative to pills, but I haven’t tried that, so no reviews on taste or mixability.
—-Effectiveness—-
This stuff was really worth the price of admission. I read other reviews saying it kicked in after a couple weeks, but I actually felt this within the first few days. I’d say it peaked from days 12-18 though. Purus Labs makes the following claims: – Increased strength and lean muscle: Strength, yes. Some of my weights on isolation exercises literally doubled and my reps never declined. 1-minute of rest between sets and I was as rested as I’d ever need to be to hit my peak again. This really allowed me to keep my heart rate up and add additional lifts to my workout every day. I am blown away with how much my strength increased while taking this. As for lean muscle, I didn’t really see that. I’m lean by nature, but the gains I got with this I’d actually consider bulky. My muscles were clearly fuller and swelled, but not really cut up. The arimistane helped with the bulkiness though, so again the two are good when taken together. When I added that to the stack, the gains got much leaner. – Increased Endurance: Definitely. I was going beast mode daily and never getting tired. This is attributed to both increase NO levels being able to feed more blood to the muscles you’re stressing, and an increase in ATP that is apparently backed by research by Purus themselves (add an asterisk here). Regardless of the cause, my endurance was definitely improved. – Increased nutrient delivery: Yes- again, due to increase nitric oxide levels. – Increased Virility: Yes. This started right away and peaked around the middle of the cycle. It tapered off towards the end. Another effect of D-Pol not claimed on the label but certainly noticeable was the common feeling of well-being and confidence that comes with heightened levels of testosterone. This kicked in early and stayed present throughout the cycle.
—-Value—-
I bought this from NutraHealthSupply.com for $19.99– the best price I found anywhere. That’s $0.66/serving and worth every penny.
—-Side Effects—-
I had a few small pimples around my eyebrows and hairline, but they went away quickly. Towards the end of the cycle I got some headaches, but I’m predisposed to those already. They only occurred if I’d let my water intake lapse.
—-Conclusion—-
Overall, I couldn’t have been happier with D-Pol and I look forward to using it again. Because of the bulkier gains this provided, it’s probably more likely that I’ll keep it as a product I use in colder months, but altogether it’s great.

Your products are by far the best I have ever used. I have tried several other brands, but with little or no gains.
The cleanest “high” I’ve gotten from any pre-workout supplement. It’s a steady alertness, and the great thing is there is no crash at the end. It’s like it just wakes up the senses without the hyperactivity of other formulas out there. Growing up in a fitness family (father was a college athlete and current football coach), I was taught to be very picky with what I put into my body. Your company is the best, by far, I have come across. I try to tell as many people about you as I can (esp being military, my young airmen are always falling to the hype of other places and I firmly send them your way). Thank you for supplying us with quality, no fluff products! I am always a skeptic on stuff like this. However, I am a believer of Sportlegs. The heart burn you get from other supplements during a training or racing event is eliminated. So then the recovery is much better! I like the fact that there is no “loading”… just take an hour before the effort. It is not a “magic pill”, but it will add to your exercise enjoyment and aid you in training and racing harder!”You don’t often find a supplement that lives up to expectations, but it certainly does. It mixes easily, digests easily, and is a great value compared to other products. After using this for 2 months, I’ve increased my strength and overcome a bad illness that kept me out of the gym. This is a high quality product with a great price. Enclosed is my order. I would also like to compliment you on your prices! You offer the best prices on every item you carry. I have checked many companies and found yours the best. I am also impressed that you do not carry any that doesn’t work. Once again, thanks, and keep up the good work. As a fitness trainer, I will come to you to get the effective supplements for any of my clients who are serious about bodybuilding, including myself who is training drug-free for a natural contest. Yours in bodybuilding.”Muscle And Sports Science has helped me be victorious in my battles with fatigue syndrome and world-class arm wrestling champions. Currently, I am 20 years of age and feel worlds away from my previous condition. I’ve recovered confidence, stamina and motivation and very much appreciate MASS products and the people producing them. I started out with no intentions of bodybuilding, but for natural alternatives to help me with my health condition. A friend offered me ‘Vanilla Mass Pro’ and I told him I wanted to check with my doctor. The doc took a look at the ingredients and said, “this is what you need, it’s good”. I got his approval to buy more from MASS, natural products without harmful chemicals. Subsequently, I bought a few things, liked them and over time tried more. Starting out, I felt like hitting the weights again within weeks. I signed up to the gym with plans of sweating off fatigue and in time reached the next level of bodybuilding without planning on it. This stuff is the REAL DEAL. MASS supplements are not just great for bodybuilding, but for a persons over-all well being. The company is staffed with nice people who conduct business professionally, ethically and with great standards. Their behavior inspires customer loyalty and I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to hit the level where the doors of all possibilities open. These products not only help the physical body but the mind and heart as well.

I came, I read, I bought, I tried and now I’m also a believer. It made me feel young again.
—-Introduction—-
I’m a 39 year old gym rat who goes to the gym 5 times a week recently. There are some weeks that I even go the 6th day if I don’t have anything planned for the weekend. As you may have noticed by my age my testosterone might be lower than what it was. So I figured why not get this highly recommended supplement by SR and see what it does. I wouldn’t mind getting a little bit of that young beast in me :P.
—-Ingredient Profile—-
This has a pretty simple ingredients profile … you have 3.12 grams of D-Aspartic acid and than Nitratene at 480mg. D-Aspartic acid is a testosterone booster that will help you temporarily increase those testosteron that do the magic. Nitratene is a patent ingredient by Purus Labs that claims it’s better than L-Arginine to create NO but yet there is not much evidence to prove the claim. I read a nice article once that Nitrates are the primary source of NO … so I’m guessing this patent has them …
—-Taste/Mixability/Dosing—-
I’ve been taking 3 tablets 40 minutes prior to my workout … I have been stacking this with NO3Drive for better absorption.
—-Effectiveness—-
Few days after taking this you will notice a change in your lower part of the body and if you don’t, than your significant other definitely will. I mean seriously I have never seen him like this before … maybe the first time when I did it but I was so apprehensive I never looked down there. I’m serious here … it REALLY helped me … So I thank you Purus labs and my fiance thanks you 😛 This is pure honesty here … As for as my other muscles, I started noticing a change later on week 2 and up … I do feel more “powerful” in the gym. I have raised my reps and slowed down a bit for that better gain. When I started this product I was barely doing 10 reps and fast … Now i’m doing 12 reps and I’m slowing them down. I really do feel “good” it does tend to do something to you physically and mentally. As far as NO and the veins … I have not seen much of a change on me … and for a simple reason … I have to much body fat … It’s hard for them to “pop out” through all that lard 😛 As for as my physique, I’m not sure if it’s the supplement or just pretty plain hard work makes me feel like i’m growing. I’m not sure how you define muscle hardness like others did. The only “hardness” I experienced very vividly was below my belt as I have mentioned before.
—-Value—-
The product shines here … 23$ for a 30 days serving size which makes it .77 cents per serving. I went ahead and purchased 2 more tubes of this product because I feel that for the price it does make you feel good.
—-Side Effects—-
I didn’t get any … maybe my age … but no acne to report. I am going through a mood cycle though. I’m not sure if it’s just things that are happening in my life recently or that I’m a bit more in tune with my feelings. I figured next cycle I will be using estrogen blocker because of these “moods”.
—-Conclusion—-
I really like the product a lot. If I wouldn’t I would not be buying more of it … I think just for the feel good and the libido it’s worth the price at my age. I know men out there are spending way more just to feel “more” in bed. I’m also considering doing my next cycle with a estrogen blocker so to see if I can yield an even better result.

Jumped on the train, felt the pain, made some gain, PUMPS INSANE
—-Introduction—-
26 years old, 6 years honest/consistent lifting. 2nd Review, 2nd time running D-POL (pill). BEFORE 185, 15% BF. AFTER: 195, 13% BF. I ran DPOL for 60 days taking 3 pills a day in the morning 1 hr before training with my preworkout drink. This worked nicely since I am on the night shift. My goal was to do a bit of body recomp. The stats above are legit, I didn’t drop a significant amount of BF, however I put on a solid amount of lean muscle. I DO NOT attribute the entirety of these gains to DPOL. I was strict on my diet (2800-3200 calories a day) and kept a daily log of my food intake. I kept my eating clean, healthy carbs and high protein (185-205 g of protein a day). I was lifting 5 days a week and doing mild intensity cardio on my 2 days off. The past 60 days were a struggle… I would be lying if I told you guys I enjoyed them. I dragged myself to the gym after long hours but stayed consistent. However, I am confident that DPOL assisted with my mood, aggression and recovery time. Stack: Purus Labs D-POL (3 pills AM) VMI Sports Arimistane (2 Pills AM, stand by for a seperate review) N.O. Explode (1 scoop) GNC generic Creatine Monohydrate (5G post workout) Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein Centrum multi vitamin
—-Ingredient Profile—-
8/10 Pretty simple profile here, D-Pol is basically 3.12 grams of D-aspartic acid (natty test boost), Nitratine (pump) and Vitamin D3 (absorption aid). Obviously, the idea here is to boost your free testosterone and give you a solid pump during your workouts. One thing I love about this profile is it is simple and well researched. A simple google search of these ingredients will provide a bunch of solid research.
—-Taste/Mixability/Dosing—-
10/10 I am absolutely terrible about staying consistent with dosing…my sleep schedule is less than predictable. The bottle recommends a simple dose of 3 pills in the morning, or when you wake up with food. I got myself a Monday through Sunday pill organizer which helped me stay on track everyday. I never missed a dose and always worked out 1 hr after I took the pills. I would take it with a multi vitamin and quick meal to assist in absorption. The pills are large but the dosing of 3.12 g is right on point. Also, there isn’t a “coating” around the pills, and they are not in capsules. I like this structure, as I have had issues with absorbing other pills which are sold with a coating to assist with swallowing. I just threw em in my mouth, and tossed em back with some water. No issues. Mixability/ Taste were not applicable for me.
—-Effectiveness—-
8/10 Test Boost 10/10 Pump Test: Probably seems like I am jumping on the train here, but sht the stuff worked for me. My body responded incredibly to the DAA (D-Aspartic Acid). I have run other natty supplements with crazy proprietary blends/ herbal remedies that just didn’t do it for me. I gave this a shot because of the solid reviews, but had low expectations. Those expectations were exceeded around 13 days in. I have a stressful job with crazy hours which effects my mood, makes me lethargic, and negatively effects my sex drive. Around day 13 my girlfriend starting making comments about how mild tempered/ happy I had been over the past two weeks. I had a general boost in well being and my sex drive was great. All of my lifts went up, but not extraordinarily. I found the legit benefits in my recovery time, which was virtually cut in half. I am usually sore for 5 days after leg day….. After two weeks taking D Pol I noticed more endurance during squats and I was recovered after 72 hrs. I laugh looking back at my logs, each entry a few days after leg day talks about how great I feel, and how much of a sally I was before haha. I also noticed a positive boost in aggression. Outside of the gym I was normal, after taking the dose in the morning, I was an animal in the gym. My lifts were focused, I stuck to my routine, and I was able to pump out more reps on every lift. PUMP! D-Pol mixed with N.O Explode did wonders for me! I would have a pump during my warmups and was full throughout the entire workout. Even after working long hours and feeling lethargic after shift, this stuff puffed me up like a Tom Turkey. Most enjoyable was chest and triceps, each log for this spoke about how my arms felt like they were going to blow up, and my chest was filling out my shirts. One thing I attribute to these supplements was how I would hit failure. I would be busting out 225 on incline and as soon as I hit 12-15 reps my spotter would have to pick the weights up off my chest and rack it for me. I would feel great and then my chest would cramp up. I would sit up and could feel the striations flaring. I loved it. After my workouts I would stay vascular throughout the day. This worried me at first, as I thought I was dehydrated. I upped my H2O to a gallon a day, and still stayed vascular.
—-Value—-
10/10 I found a good deal on amazon, two bottles for $44.00 and free shipping. Doesn’t get much better than that. I also found a 2 for 1 deal on the Arimistane which will be included in the separate review.
—-Side Effects—-
8/10 I did not see any testosterone related sides. I felt great, was in a good mood and sex drive went up. No oily skin, no acne, no back pumps, no mood swings. The only side effect was the intense pumps, and I know, this sounds corny…. Like my weakest trait is “i work too hard”…. I enjoyed the pumps but as previously stated they did lead to crazy failures on my lifts. I would feel like a champion and then BAM, hit the wall and put my spotter through hell. I had to have a spotter for every compound lift which I know is not a bad thing. I am not sure if this is because I was dehydrated or what. I upped my H2O, maybe next time I will add in some Aminos/ Electrolytes.
—-Conclusion—-
Very satisfied and hyped that I found a supplement that works for me. I am taking a break for a month from both D-Pol and Arimistane, and will have another go. If anything changes the next time around or if I have any issues I’ll make an update. I would definitely recommend this supplement and the stack I listed to older folks suffering from Low-T or younger guys that have a schedule like mine.

Good Pre workout + placebo booster.. nothing more
—-Introduction—-
I’ve been going to the gym 9 years and have made great gains. In the summer of 2016, I was hitting good weight in the gym, heavier than ever but also plateauing and having a hard time moving forward. I decided to try this testosterone booster, because I (ignorantly) thought a boost in testosterone could be that little boost to push me over the edge of this plateau and get me moving again.
—-Ingredient Profile—-
Vitamin B12 (Cyanacobalamin) 6 mcg 100% Sodium 120 mg 5% Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 4000 IU Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine) 2 mg Folate (Vitamin B9) 400 mcg LH/Free Testosterone/ATP Amplifying Oxygen Sparing Matrix 3.6 g Lets break down the 2 main ingredients in this product: This product contains 3.12 Grams of D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) which “clinical studies” show may boost testosterone, and 4,000 IU of Vitamin D, which is an important part of having healthy testosterone levels, and something a good amount of people are actually deficient in. This product also contains Nitratines and is a nitric oxide booster, which is why I suggested it as a good pre workout, and why this product isn’t a total failure for me.
—-Taste/Mixability/Dosing—-
Bottle contains 90 tablets – serving size is 3 tablets – directions state to take 3 tablets with a meal 60 minutes prior to exercise, and to take on your off days 1st thing in the morning. I used it as directed. The directions also state to not use this product for more than 60 days consecutively without a 30 day break after 60 days.
—-Effectiveness—-
This product is a nitric oxide booster, and I did feel some better pumps in the gym and was able to get the best out of my workouts. In terms of testosterone boosting, this product did not deliver on that at all. I had blood work performed a few days after finishing 60 days of this product and my testosterone levels were a bit low. I recently had blood work while taking another DAA product recently and my testosterone levels were low, and infact lower than ever. At the time of using this product, I was trying to break out of a plateau and get past it in the slightest. EX: 275 at the time was pretty new to me on the bench, and at this time I was able to hit 275 for more than 1 rep (2-3 reps). I was hoping by using this product I would be able to atleast get an extra couple of reps on 275 and perhaps find my way past 300 or atleast edge closer to it. I was also deadlifting 350 at the time for 1 rep, and I was hoping this product would help me be able to hit 350 deadlifts for more than just a 1 rep max. While this product did give me a better pump, and did help me feel more energy in my workouts, it didn’t push me past my plateus, and didn’t get me closer to that 300 bench like I wanted, and didn’t really put me past a 350 deadlift like I’d hoped. Somedays it made those lifts feel easier due to the better pump, but it didn’t really put me past those numbers. The best this product did was make it feel alittle easier where I’m at, but never really got me forward.
—-Value—-
I bought this for $40 at the vitamin shop. Not the worst price for a 1 month supply for a decent pre workout + placebo booster, but there’s other products out there that work as good if not better for cheaper.
—-Side Effects—-
None to report.
—-Conclusion—-
This product gave me a pretty good pump, but nothing more. Didn’t put me past the plateau any sooner/faster. Today I’m a 300+ bencher, and that deadlift of 350 back then is now an easy drop down set for several reps, and I eventually did get past that plateau in the future after not even using any testosterone booster. Keeping up the hard work, patience, and changes to my routine are what helped me start moving forward again, NOT this supplement or any testosterone booster. Recently I tested low for testosterone, and in the days after testing low, I hit a new PR 3 days in a row, and lifted heavier than ever. So what I learned and came to realize is this: You can still get stronger, and improve without having high testosterone – and you don’t need a product like this to see results or make gains. This product wont make a difference and give you any better gains than you would of gotten without it. For pre workout purposes yes this product is a nitric oxidie support and will give you better pumps and more muscular energy, but nothing more. Am I saying testosterone isn’t a factor for athletic performance? No, If I was to inject testosterone into my body and triple my testosterone levels than sure I probably would climb up this 300 range on the bench much faster… But from taking an over the counter supplement like this, it’s not going to increase my test levels or help me climb up the 300 ladder any faster. Good preworkout, but as a testosterone booster – nothing remarkable to report. Better products out there, and for cheaper.
