What is it and how does it work?ActivTesto
Less energy than before, less drive, the feeling of having lost a bit of your edge: with age and stress, many men know the feeling. ActivTesto (label: "TESTO+") is a food supplement made for them, sold in Germany and Austria by the Swiss company Taikine SA.
The idea is simple: two capsules a day containing shilajit extract, two amino acids (L-arginine and L-citrulline), ginseng root extract, zinc and selenium. Each bottle holds 60 capsules, which is one month's supply.
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. Selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis.
These are two health claims authorised in the European Union for these nutrients, both listed in the official EU register1. With 5 mg of zinc and 27.5 µg of selenium per day, the formula provides 50% of the reference intake for each. The other ingredients are plant extracts and amino acids commonly found in men's formulas.
Let's be realistic: no supplement guarantees results. Age, sleep, diet, exercise and overall health all play a big role, and every man responds differently.
The formula
Tap an ingredient to see its dose. The manufacturer lists every amount, which many competing products don't. The % NRV figures refer to the EU reference intakes3.
- Shilajit extract – 150 mg: A mineral and plant resin from the mountains of Asia, long used in the Ayurvedic tradition.
- L-arginine – 100 mg: An amino acid found in food (meat, nuts, pulses), common in men's formulas.
- L-citrulline – 100 mg: An amino acid found in watermelon, among other foods, and often paired with L-arginine.
- Panax ginseng root extract – 90 mg: A root used in Asia for centuries and one of the most studied plants in the world.
- Zinc – 5 mg (50% NRV): Contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood.
- Selenium – 27.5 µg (50% NRV): Contributes to normal spermatogenesis.
How to take itTwo a day
Recommended use: two (2) capsules a day with a large glass of water, preferably in the morning. Do not exceed this dose. A bottle of 60 capsules therefore lasts one month.
- Take the capsules every day, ideally with breakfast
- Drink enough water throughout the day
- Eat a varied, balanced diet
- Stay active and get enough sleep
- Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from light
- Keep your expectations realistic
Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Side effectsIs it safe?
ActivTesto's ingredients are generally well tolerated. According to the official website, no known side effects have been reported, but individual contraindications are possible. If you notice an intolerance or allergic reaction, stop taking it and see a doctor.
The manufacturer states that the product is for adults only and is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or for people on antidiabetic treatment. It advises seeing a doctor first, especially if you take medication or have particular health conditions.
Stick to the daily dose and keep the bottle out of reach of children. ActivTesto is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Safety and money-back guaranteeCovered for a year
According to the official website, the first order is covered by a one-year money-back guarantee from receipt (valid once per customer). You first contact customer service, who give you the return address; the customer pays for return postage, and the refund is made within 14 days of the return being approved.
This guarantee comes on top of the legal 14-day right of withdrawal. The seller is Taikine SA, a company based in Préverenges, Switzerland, which states that its products meet Swiss standards. The website does not say where the product is made.
Payment is made on the official website by card or PayPal. According to the terms of sale, orders are dispatched within 72 working hours of payment being confirmed.
Where to buyThe official packs
The safest option is the official website. A product bought elsewhere is not necessarily covered by the guarantee, and there is no way to check its origin or contents. Note: the discounted prices are for the "scheduled deliveries" option, a subscription that sends new orders automatically; without a subscription, a bottle costs €79.90.
- The original product
- A one-year money-back guarantee on the first order

Prices as of 19 October 2026 for Germany and Austria. With the subscription, the terms of sale provide for automatic renewal "at the original price": check the amount and frequency before you confirm. Prices may change; the official website always shows the current price.
Pharmacy, dm or Amazon?Where you can find it
Many people look for ActivTesto in pharmacies (Apotheke), at dm or on Amazon. When we checked on 19 October 2026, we didn't find it on Amazon.de, at dm or on Shop Apotheke: it is sold on its official website.
The ActivTesto in this review

- Two capsules a day

Is ActivTesto a scam?The facts
The men's supplement market is full of exaggerated promises. ActivTesto's sales pages talk about performance and stamina in very enthusiastic terms; we don't repeat those promises. What matters is what is in the bottle: a food supplement with a fully listed formula, not a medicine.
Reassuring points
- Complete formula, with the dose of every ingredient
- Official EU claims for zinc and selenium
- Named seller: Taikine SA, Switzerland
- One-year money-back guarantee
Worth knowing
- The best prices require an auto-renewing subscription
- The guarantee only applies to the first order
- The customer pays for return postage
- Only sold on the official website
- Results vary from person to person
Our verdict: ActivTesto is a food supplement with transparent dosing, not a treatment. It does not replace a balanced diet or a doctor's advice. If you want to try it, buy from the official website so the guarantee applies, and choose knowingly between a one-off purchase and the subscription.
