HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Test PSI by Achievements Through Science (ATS) Labs

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Testosterone Support Matrix” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2,280 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Test PSI is a 4-ingredient capsule. The active ingredients are 4'-Methoxy-5,7-Dihydroxyflavone, D-Aspartic Acid, Testosterone Support Matrix (a blend of other components), Fadogia agrestis Stem Extract, and Mucuna pruriens — the latter a legume seed extract used in traditional medicine.

The capsule itself is filled with gelatin, rice flour, and cellulose as inactive fillers and binders.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: lean muscle gains and athletic performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, muscle strength, body composition, exercise performance.
  • The closest evidence on file: Fadogia Agrestis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for Test PSI's ingredients is limited. Fadogia agrestis has been studied for athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, and malaria treatment, but we don't have reliable evidence to rate how well it works for any of these.

Mucuna pruriens has been evaluated for anxiety, skin redness (erythema), high prolactin levels, muscle pain, Parkinson disease, and rheumatoid arthritis — again, insufficient reliable evidence exists to rate its effectiveness. The two other active ingredients have no effectiveness ratings in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Fadogia Agrestis Cowhage

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Fadogia agrestis comes with a caution: human safety data are lacking, and animal studies hint at possible harm to the testicles, liver, and kidneys. Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding, since no safety data exist.

Mucuna pruriens contains L-dopa (levodopa), an active drug-like compound, so it requires careful use and professional guidance. It should be avoided in pregnancy due to its dopamine effects, and avoided while breastfeeding because L-dopa can lower prolactin and reduce milk supply.

Oral side effects from Mucuna pruriens are generally rare but may include diarrhea, flatulence, mucosal irritation, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, and headaches. Insomnia was reported in about 3% of people taking certain Mucuna seed extracts in clinical research.

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Cowhage.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; Parkinson's medications.
  • For scale: 193 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check your exact medications before taking Test PSI if you use monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), methyldopa, levodopa, or cyclopropane/halogenated anesthetics (Major interactions). Also double-check if you take diabetes medications, antipsychotics, tricyclic antidepressants, or guanethidine (Moderate interactions).

These effects stem from the Mucuna pruriens ingredient.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Test PSI is intended to support testosterone and athletic function, but effectiveness evidence is insufficient for both main ingredients. If you take any blood pressure medication, antidepressant (especially an MAOI), diabetes drug, antipsychotic, or Parkinson's medication, you need to check your exact drugs with us before starting — the Mucuna pruriens content poses real interaction risks.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor, particularly if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have liver or kidney concerns.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Test PSI with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Mucuna pruriens8 drug types · 193 drugs

Levodopa

Concomitant use can increase the risk of levodopa-related adverse effects.
Cowhage contains levodopa. Some cowhage products have been standardized to contain 75-400 mg of levodopa per dose.

Likelihood Likely Evidence D
Methyldopa (Aldomet)

Theoretically, concomitant use of cowhage and methyldopa might increase the risk of hypotension.
Cowhage contains levodopa. Use of levodopa with methyldopa might cause additive hypotension. In addition, methyldopa may inhibit peripheral decarboxylation of levodopa and increase levodopa levels in the central nervous system; avoid using.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (Maois)

Theoretically, concomitant use of cowhage and non-selective MAOIs might increase the risk of hypertensive crisis.
Cowhage contains levodopa. Use of levodopa with non-selective MAOIs might cause hypertensive crisis. However, this interaction has not been reported with MAO-B selective inhibitors such as selegiline.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anesthesia

Theoretically, concomitant use of cowhage and anesthesia might increase the risk of arrhythmias.
Cowhage contains levodopa. Use of levodopa with cyclopropane or halogenated hydrocarbon anesthesia has led to arrhythmias. Other anesthetics have not been implicated. Use other anesthetics in patients taking cowhage or tell patients to stop taking cowhage at least 2 weeks before surgery.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of cowhage and antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research shows that cowhage might have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antipsychotic Drugs

Theoretically, use of cowhage might decrease the clinical effects of antipsychotic drugs.
Cowhage contains levodopa. Use of levodopa might counteract the antidopaminergic effects of antipsychotic medications.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Guanethidine (Ismelin)

Theoretically, concomitant use of cowhage and guanethidine might increase the risk of hypotension.
Cowhage contains levodopa. Use of levodopa with guanethidine might cause additive hypotension; avoid using.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Tricyclic Antidepressants (Tcas)

Theoretically, use of TCAs might reduce the levels and clinical effects of cowhage.
Cowhage contains levodopa. Use of TCAs might reduce the absorption of levodopa. Some case reports describe patients that developed hypertension and dyskinesia when taking both levodopa and TCAs.

Test PSI by Achievements Through Science (ATS) Labs: Common Questions

Does Test PSI by Achievements Through Science (ATS) Labs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Test PSI has a known interaction with 193 medications, including 17 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Test PSI contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is Mucuna pruriens and why is it in this product?
Mucuna pruriens is a legume seed that contains levodopa, a compound that affects dopamine in the brain. It's included here as part of a testosterone support formula, though reliable evidence for how well it works for that purpose is lacking.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Fadogia agrestis has no safety data and should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Mucuna pruriens should also be avoided — it affects dopamine and hormones in ways that aren't safe in pregnancy, and it can reduce milk supply while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor before considering any supplement during these times.
What side effects might I experience?
Mucuna pruriens may cause diarrhea, flatulence, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, or headaches. Insomnia was reported in about 3% of people in clinical trials. Fadogia agrestis side effects aren't well documented because safety data are limited.
Is this product effective for boosting testosterone or athletic performance?
We don't have reliable evidence to say. Both Fadogia agrestis and Mucuna pruriens lack sufficient clinical data to rate how well they work for these goals.
Why does this product have so many medication interactions?
Mucuna pruriens contains levodopa, an active drug-like compound. Levodopa interacts with blood pressure medications, antidepressants, diabetes drugs, antipsychotics, and certain anesthetics in ways that can be harmful — that's why you need to check your exact prescriptions before starting.
