HelloPharmacist Scorecard of TST-Therapy by Bronson Laboratories
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
TST-Therapy contains 5 active ingredients. Vitamin B12 supports energy and nerve function.
Tribulus terrestris is included for sexual function. Eurycoma longifolia root extract is traditionally used to support male vitality and testosterone.
Rhodiola rosea root extract is an adaptogen meant to help with stress and physical performance. Testofen Fenugreek Extract is a standardized fenugreek ingredient marketed for sexual health and glucose support.
The capsules also contain gelatin, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Not established
Vitamin B12 is effective for treating B12 deficiency and certain conditions like Imerslund-Grasbeck disease, and is likely effective for cyanide poisoning. It may also help with canker sores and nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia), though evidence is limited.
Tribulus and fenugreek both have possibly effective ratings for sexual dysfunction, though tribulus was rated possibly ineffective for athletic performance. Eurycoma longifolia is possibly effective for sexual desire but possibly ineffective for athletic performance.
The evidence for back pain, bone health, diabetes, and anxiety is insufficient to rate these ingredients' usefulness for those purposes.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin B12 is generally well tolerated with no established upper limit—excess is removed in your urine. It's needed and considered safe in normal amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Oral B12 rarely causes allergic reactions like rash or itching. Tribulus and Eurycoma longifolia have limited long-term safety data; tribulus should be avoided in pregnancy (possible hormonal effects) and while breastfeeding.
Rhodiola is generally well tolerated short-term but has insufficient long-term safety data and should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Common side effects from rhodiola include dizziness and changes in saliva.
Fenugreek is generally well tolerated at food amounts but may cause stomach upset, bloating, diarrhea, or nausea at supplement doses. Fenugreek should be avoided at medicinal doses during pregnancy; it's sometimes used to support milk supply but evidence is limited—discuss with your provider first.
Fenugreek can rarely cause severe allergic reactions including throat swelling and difficulty breathing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking TST-Therapy, check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives like ACE inhibitors or ARBs), diabetes medications, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel), propranolol or other beta-blockers, metformin, lithium, theophylline, seizure medications like phenytoin, sildenafil (Viagra), losartan, immunosuppressant drugs, or any medication metabolized by your liver's cytochrome P450 system—this is not an exhaustive list. No interactions are documented for any inactive ingredients in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product targets male sexual function and vitality using five plant and vitamin ingredients with some clinical support. If you take any blood pressure medication, diabetes medication, blood thinner, or any prescription drug, check it against your exact medication list before starting—the ingredient count is high.
Avoid this product if you're pregnant or breastfeeding without talking to your doctor first.

TST-Therapy by Bronson Laboratories Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
TST-Therapy by Bronson Laboratories contains five active ingredients, each with documented interactions.
The most serious concern is Rhodiola, which moderately interacts with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives)—it may lower blood pressure further and increase the risk of dangerously low readings. Tribulus also moderately interacts with blood pressure medications and diabetes medications by potentially lowering blood pressure and blood sugar, respectively.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Fenugreek has several moderate interactions: it may add to the blood-thinning effects of anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs, increase the risk of low blood sugar with diabetes medications, and theoretically reduce the effectiveness of certain heart and seizure medications. Rhodiola additionally interacts moderately with drugs metabolized through specific liver pathways (CYP2C9 and P-glycoprotein substrates) and may interfere with immunosuppressant therapy.
It also moderately interacts with losartan (a blood pressure medication) and antidiabetes drugs.
Eurycoma longifolia moderately interacts with propranolol (a beta-blocker) by reducing its blood-pressure-lowering effect. Vitamin B12 has a minor interaction with metformin (a diabetes medication), which can lower B12 absorption over time with prolonged use.
Eurycoma also has several minor interactions with drugs metabolized by certain liver enzymes, and theoretically may increase testosterone levels.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,316 individual medications. Use the medication checker below with your exact prescriptions before starting this product.

For each ingredient in TST-Therapy with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Rhodiola rosea root extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking rhodiola with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In vitro and animal research shows that rhodiola extract can decrease blood glucose due to alpha-glucosidase activity.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking rhodiola with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
In vitro and animal research shows that rhodiola extract inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and might lower blood pressure.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP2C9. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. Also, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days reduces the metabolism of losartan, a CYP2C9 substrate, by 21% after 4 hours.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, rhodiola use might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro and animal research show that rhodiola has immunostimulatory effects.
Losartan (Cozaar)
Rhodiola might increase the levels and adverse effects of losartan.
A clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days reduces the metabolism of losartan, a CYP2C9 substrate, by 21% after 4 hours.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits P-glycoprotein. Theoretically, using rhodiola with P-glycoprotein substrates might increase drug levels and potentially increase the risk of adverse effects.
Antidepressant Drugs
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with antidepressants.
A review of adverse event reports in Poland identified cases of tachyarrhythmias, myalgia, arthralgia, gum pain, restless leg syndrome, swallowing disorders, and changes in consciousness when rhodiola was taken in combination with paroxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline, trazodone, and/or duloxetine.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with CNS depressants.
A review of adverse event reports in Poland identified cases of excessive sedation, myoclonus, hypotension, and hallucinations when rhodiola was taken with haloperidol, diazepam, or alprazolam.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP1A2. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. However, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days does not inhibit the metabolism of caffeine, a CYP1A2 substrate.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP3A4. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. However, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days does not inhibit the metabolism of midazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate.
Testofen(R) Fenugreek Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, fenugreek might have additive effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Some of the constituents in fenugreek have antiplatelet effects in animal and in vitro research. However, common fenugreek products might not contain sufficient concentrations of these constituents for clinical effects. A clinical study in patients with coronary artery disease or diabetes shows that taking fenugreek seed powder 2.5 grams twice daily for 3 months does not affect platelet aggregation, fibrinolytic activity, or fibrinogen levels .
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might have additive hypoglycemic effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that fenugreek seed can reduce fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might alter the clinical effects of clopidogrel by inhibiting its conversion to the active form.
Animal research shows that fenugreek seed 200 mg/kg daily for 14 days increases the maximum serum concentration of clopidogrel by 21%. It is unclear how this affects the pharmacokinetics of the active metabolite of clopidogrel; however, this study found that concomitant use of fenugreek seed and clopidogrel prolonged bleeding time by an additional 11%.
Metoprolol (Toprol)
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might have additive hypotensive effects when used with metoprolol.
Animal research shows that fenugreek seed 300 mg/kg daily for 2 weeks decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 9% and 11%, respectively, when administered alone, and by 15% and 22%, respectively, when given with metoprolol 10 mg/kg.
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Theoretically, fenugreek might decrease plasma levels of phenytoin.
Animal research shows that taking fenugreek seeds for 1 week decreases maximum concentrations and the area under the curve of a single dose of phenytoin by 44% and 72%, respectively. This seems to be related to increased clearance. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Sildenafil (Viagra)
Theoretically, concurrent use of sildenafil and fenugreek might reduce levels and therapeutic effects of sildenafil.
Animal research shows that taking fenugreek seeds for 1 week reduces maximum concentrations and the area under the curve of a single dose of sildenafil by 27% and 48%, respectively. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Theophylline
Theoretically, fenugreek may reduce the levels and clinical effects of theophylline.
Animal research shows that fenugreek 50 grams daily for 7 days reduces the maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of theophylline by 28% and the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) by 22%.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, fenugreek might have additive effects with warfarin and increase the international normalized ratio (INR).
Some fenugreek constituents have antiplatelet effects, although these might not be present in concentrations that are clinically significant. In one case report, a patient taking warfarin experienced an increased INR when starting to take fenugreek in combination with boldo.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Fenugreek may also have an additive effect on blood pressure-lowering medications. Studies on animals have shown that fenugreek seed can decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure by up to 22% when combined with metoprolol. Therefore, it is essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly if you are taking fenugreek and metoprolol together or any other antihypertensive drugs.
Tribulus terrestris
Antidiabetes Drugs
Taking tribulus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that Tribulus can lower blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes who are taking antidiabetes medications.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking tribulus with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that tribulus can lower blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Tribulus has also demonstrated hypotensive effects in pre-hypertensive adults.
Lithium
Theoretically, tribulus might increase the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
Tribulus is thought to have diuretic properties. Due to these potential diuretic effects, tribulus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Eurycoma longifolia root extract
Propranolol (Inderal)
Eurycoma longifolia can reduce the levels and clinical effects of propranolol.
A small clinical study in healthy persons shows that taking a single dose of a water-based Eurycoma longifolia extract 200 mg, in combination with a single dose of propranolol 80 mg, reduces the propranolol area under the curve (AUC) by 29%, reduces the peak concentration by 42%, and increases time to peak concentration by 86% when compared with control. Since the elimination half-life of propranolol did not change, it seems that Eurycoma longifolia alters the kinetics of propranolol by decreasing its absorption in the gut, and not by altering its metabolism. It is not known if separating administration will prevent this interaction.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels of CYP2A6 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP2A6 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP2C19 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Testosterone
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia may further increase levels of testosterone.
A clinical study in aging males with testosterone levels below 300 ng/dL shows that taking a specific water extract of Eurycoma longifolia roots (Physta; Biotropics Malaysia) 100-200 mg daily with breakfast for 12 weeks increases total testosterone levels by 8% to 11% when compared with placebo. It is unclear whether this increase would occur in individuals with normal testosterone levels.
Vitamin B12
Metformin (Glucophage)
Metformin, a common medication used to manage type 2 diabetes, has been associated with lower vitamin B12 levels in some individuals. Prolonged use of metformin can interfere with the absorption of B12 in the digestive system, potentially leading to a deficiency in this essential vitamin.
