Is it recommended to cycle test boosters:

5 days on, then 2 days off (repeat)

OR

2 on, 1 off (repeat) ?

As opposed to taking every day? ...Ive heard this suggestion a few times and was wondering if anyone else has, etc?

Thanks

Really depends on the product. Most however are best ran everyday for 8 weeks.

Alphamax is my go to product and I run it daily for 8 weeks. By the 2nd week, I can already notice better sleep, higher libido, increased agression, etc.
 
Agreed with the above. Of course it depends on the tb but i'm a big fan of alphamax xt as well and it works wonders dosed daily.
 
Most test boosters work via a buildup of the ingredients so I️ would not skip days
 
Solid info above - for natural oral test boosters (Alphamax XT, M-Test, etc.) it's best to use them every day for 4-8 weeks continuously. You may have been reading about anabolics or testosterone, which is usually injected only a few times per week. Natural test boosting products are much much different, and they work better when used every day (even on rest days).
 
You do hear people occasionally recommending things like tongkat ali to be used 5 on 2 off, but the vast majority of the actual research on it uses daily dosing, often for several weeks. The same goes for ashwagandha (daily use), and test boosters that contain multiple ingredients like AlphaMax, M-Test, etc. I’m not saying that they won’t work with 5/2 dosing, but only that it’s not necessary (or ideal IMO), and the vast majority of research on these ingredients used daily dosing.
 
The only muscle building product that I have used 5 on 2 off for was Prime at the 69 protocol. Everything else I take the suggested dosage for 8 weeks. I really don’t see a need for that kind of split.
 
I've only heard of Tongkat Ali being dosed at 5/2
 
usually every day. I have never used one that skipped days.
