Hey guys,
It looks like this does need some perspective. I don’t taut things as “life saving” or “life destroying” but as items that have advantages and disadvantages.
Context - I started vitex because a few buddies of mine use it to cut (get lean and more defined after bulking). They swore by it, but I would never try it. The reason was because it could “increase progesterone” possibly “increase” prolactin, etc. All the information I read on it was for women. So, I would never try it. Well, I finally did after seeing results form my friends, but they are normal, no PFS, so I was hesitant. Well, I’m glad that I did. I take 1,500mg a day because that is what my buds take, that is how I cam to that dosage. Here is breakdown of what occurred.
- Noticed libido was elevated the second day. Libido still fluctuates like normal, but it is consistently much higher, higher than a normal state. I assume this is form dopamine agonist effects, but I don’t know.
- By the third day I noticed fuller muscles and less water, more striations and a “corded” appearance. Yes! This is why I started it.
- By the end of the first week, I notice increase in wellbeing, libido, muscle mass, less water, more energy, higher strength and stamina in the gym. So I stayed with it. Each week strength, stamina, and muscle growth just continue to improve. I have lost tons of water, though after a month I feel it may have balanced out. I did not lose much water in my face though.
- I’m on no AI. Vitex allowed me to double my test dosing from 10mg eod, to 10mg daily. So I doubled test, no AI, and lost water. These are huge gains for me.
- As is so common with just about everything, Vitex has not lost its effect. It continue to work just as well today as it did the first day. I have no idea why that is.
Now, some sides.
- Headache - the are intermittent, maybe 2-3 times a week.
- Strong heart beat but lower blood pressure - heart beat is strong immediately after dosing. Blood pressure is low all week.
- Some stomach upset - you may get some “air” especially if you’re consuming a lot of protein
That’s about it. I’m not sure what it will do in a person not on test, but hey, its cheap and I have been very surprised with the what it’s done for me.
