I’m into working out and gaining muscle and I stumbled accross a product here:
bodybuilding.com/store/app/drive.html
The reviews for it were good, and I had never heard of a few of the ingrediants so I went onto the google machine with a thirst for knowledge.
One of the ingrediants is Semen cuscutae (dodder seed) so I went onto pubmed and found this:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18640256
“CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to demonstrate that TFSC treatment may reverse kidney-yang deficiency symptoms by restoring the levels of testosterone and AR mRNA and protein expression in the kidney and testicle.”
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12685350
" CONCLUSION: FSC decreases the contents of beta-EP in hypothalamuses and increases contents of LH in anterior pituitaries in female rats exposed to psychologic stress, which may be one of the mechanism of FSC improving hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis."
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11232800
“RESULTS: FSC increased the weights of testis, epididymis and pituitary gland, and stimulated T and LH secretion both in vitro and in immature rats. CONCLUSION: FSC invigorates the reproductive system and reproductive endocrine function in male rats.”
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9863078
“CONCLUSIONS: SC decoction is an effective promoting preparation for sperm motility and the membrane function stabilized. Therefore, SC may be beneficial in treating male sterility and may raise success rate in artificial insemination.”
Can’t seem to find much else on it, anyone have any experience with this?
