They are a good starting point, and some of the presentation is very good for an understanding of the compounds.
I always look to them, and then branch off into studies, and then do my own searches for anecdotal evidence.
Additionally, I have PM'd you.

Regards!

But forskolin has been shown to increase testosterone levels in at least one study. Granted, it did not increase testosterone to supraphysiological levels, of course, but it's still one of the only/few ingredients to have even a single study showing increased free testosterone levels at all in subjects who didn't have low-testosterone.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at really. You ask:

Of anything listed above do you see an increase in Testosterone levels? No.

but the answer is actually yes if you do the research.
