I’ve taken it for about a week. My face is getting oilier and I’ve got some acne–which might indicate that it’s increasing testosterone. But no change to ED yet, which is my only Fin problem.
I think this could be another thing that “helps” with PFS. Not a cure, but something that may make us feel a little better. For me it was working wonders in the beginning but now it’s starting to lose some of it’s effectiveness for me. Maybe cycling it will bring better results?
I was taking something like 4x the recommended dose when I was taking the gelcaps. With the fresh jelly I have been taking about a teaspoon a day
My theory of what happened to me was that it raised my T levels but, just like with TRT, the body feels better initially and then it seems to resist. So I kept taking more and more until finally I couldn’t feel anything anymore and I am now trying to slow down a little
This stuff definitely raises testosterone levels. The last blood analysis I had showed some huge across the board improvements. Free T is up, total T is up, thyroid numbers are the best we’ve in years, everything is perfect. When I got my lab I could even show a before and after side by side. It’s a big difference. Too bad I don’t FEEL as good as my bloodeork indicates. I’m still very sick and feel awful.
I wonder what the royal jelly’s mechanism is in raising testosterone levels?
I believe it could be working in a manner similar to clomiphene or tamoxifen
It has mild estrogenic properties like a SERM also, according to this study: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15946813 (Royal jelly has estrogenic effects in vitro and in vivo.)
Interesting that it effects thyroid stimulating hormone too.
If it increases testosterone levels would that not ultimately just convert into estrogen and make things worse? Also if it upregulates TSH would it make hyperthyroidism worse? (something that i believe alot of pfs victims suffer from)
I have bought roayl jelly, which has a consistency exactly like honey. However, it doesn’t taste as honey.
Unfortunately, I haven’t had any success whatsoever.
