MuscleTech AlphaTest Extreme 150 Capsules (US Version)

What you actually get

• 30 daily servings per bottle — 150 capsules at 5 per serving, taken together once a day.
• Eleven named actives, each at a printed dose — eight botanical extracts plus magnesium, zinc and vitamin B6, every one carrying its own milligram figure.
• Nothing hidden behind a blend name — there is no proprietary blend on this panel, and two of the extracts print their standardisation as well: fenugreek at 50% saponins, KSM-66® ashwagandha at 5% withanolides.
• No caffeine and no other stimulant — none is listed anywhere on the label, so it does not add to a caffeine total.
• Five capsules is a real pill count — worth knowing up front if you find capsules difficult to swallow, because the serving is not designed to be split.
• Contains milk — the label carries a milk allergen statement, which makes this unsuitable for anyone avoiding dairy.

What you are actually buying

A long, fully disclosed capsule panel. One serving is five capsules with water, once a day, and 150 capsules divides evenly into 30 of those servings. Eleven actives are named, there is no proprietary blend, and every figure quoted on this page can be checked against the label.

The front of this pack is written for the United States. New Zealand rules for dietary supplements are stricter than the United States rules this bottle was printed under. The front-of-pack wording is not repeated on this page and is not part of what we are telling you about the product.

Where the artwork and the panel differ, the panel wins. The Supplement Facts tab on this page holds real text rather than a picture of a label, so it can be searched, copied and read on a phone without pinching to zoom. It is the operative statement of what is in the capsule.

The eleven actives, plainly

Fenugreek extract, 600 mg. Seed extract of Trigonella foenum-graecum, standardised on the panel to 50% saponins — so 600 mg of extract carries 300 mg of saponins. It is the equal-largest botanical row on the label, and the panel prints no Daily Value for it because none is established.

KSM-66® ashwagandha extract, 600 mg. Root extract of Withania somnifera, standardised to 5% withanolides, which works out at 30 mg of withanolides per serving. KSM-66® is a branded, named extract rather than a generic powder, and the panel prints both the extract amount and its standardisation.

Maca extract 250 mg, boron citrate 200 mg, quercetin anhydrous 200 mg. Maca is a root extract of Lepidium meyenii. Boron citrate is printed with the qualifier “supplying 5% boron”, so a serving carries 10 mg of boron. The quercetin row names its source as Sophora japonica flower.

TESNOR® 200 mg, longjack extract 150 mg, broccoli crown 100 mg. TESNOR® is a branded two-plant extract: pomegranate fruit peel (Punica granatum) with cocoa seed (Theobroma cacao), printed as one combined figure with no split between the two. Longjack is a root extract of Eurycoma longifolia. Broccoli is listed as crown, Brassica oleracea.

Zinc 30 mg, magnesium 135 mg, vitamin B6 10.5 mg. The panel prints these as 273%, 32% and 618% respectively, which are United States Daily Values rather than New Zealand or Australian nutrient reference values. Zinc is the oxide form, magnesium the aspartate, B6 as pyridoxine hydrochloride. Total carbohydrate is under 1 g.

Extreme against standard AlphaTest

Different serving size, different panel length. Standard AlphaTest is a 2-capsule serving with 6 actives on its panel. AlphaTest Extreme is a 5-capsule serving with 11. If you already take the standard version, the practical differences are the pill count, the bottle maths and which rows appear.

What is on both panels, and at what amount. Standard AlphaTest prints fenugreek extract 300 mg, boron citrate 100 mg, longjack extract 75 mg, broccoli 50 mg and zinc 7.5 mg per 2-capsule serving. Extreme prints 600 mg, 200 mg, 150 mg, 100 mg and 30 mg of the same five per 5-capsule serving.

What changes between them. Tribulus extract 250 mg is on the standard panel and is not on this one. Vitamin B6, magnesium, KSM-66® ashwagandha, maca, quercetin and TESNOR® are on this panel and are not on the standard one. Both panels print “Daily Value not established” against every botanical row.

What’s inside, per serving

Every row below is taken from the Supplement Facts panel for a 5-capsule serving. The full panel, including the label’s own % Daily Value column and footnotes, is in the Supplement Facts tab.

How to use it

1. Take five capsules together — one serving is 5 capsules with a glass of water.
2. Once a day — the manufacturer’s directions are for a single daily serving, not a split dose.
3. Do not exceed five capsules in 24 hours — that limit is printed on the manufacturer’s label.
4. Count your zinc, magnesium and B6 — if a multivitamin or another supplement in your routine lists any of the three, add the amounts together before you start.
5. Count your boron too — a serving carries 10 mg of it, and some multivitamins list boron as well.
6. Store it cool and dry — out of reach of children.

Is it for you?

What we don’t claim

Stack with

Nothing here replaces training, food or daily protein. This is a botanical and mineral capsule panel — not a protein source, not a pre-workout and not a creatine product. Most people running it keep the rest of their routine exactly as it was. It carries no stimulant of its own, so it adds nothing to a pre-workout’s caffeine load if you already take one.

The one thing worth checking is overlap. A daily multivitamin is the most likely thing in a routine to double up on the zinc, magnesium, vitamin B6 and boron rows here. Read both labels together rather than assuming they are separate.

Where these numbers come from

1. Supplement Facts panel, MuscleTech AlphaTest Extreme, serving size 5 capsules — Iovate Health Sciences, muscletech.com/products/alphatest-extreme. Reproduced row for row in the Supplement Facts tab on this page.
2. Other Ingredients, the allergen statement (“contains milk”) and the bioengineered-ingredient disclosure — the same panel.
3. Directions and the “do not exceed 5 capsules in a 24-hour period” limit — the manufacturer’s directions for this product.
4. Servings per bottle — arithmetic on the pack: 150 capsules divided by 5 capsules per serving equals 30 servings, matching the servings per container printed on the panel.
5. Boron per serving — arithmetic on the panel’s own qualifier: 5% of 200 mg of boron citrate equals 10 mg of boron.
6. Saponin and withanolide amounts — arithmetic on the panel’s own standardisations: 50% of 600 mg is 300 mg, and 5% of 600 mg is 30 mg.
7. Standard AlphaTest comparison figures — the Supplement Facts panel for MuscleTech AlphaTest, serving size 2 capsules, muscletech.com/products/alphatest.
