Therapeutic Efforts Supplements & Lifestyle
#1

I’m looking for a reputable place to get some of the genuine root. I have read quite a lot about the stuff and it sounds rather promising. It seems to have both a libido increasing effect and lowering of SHBG.

I know a lot of the companies that sell it, only sell it in powder form which really minimizes it’s effect. Is any one on this board actively using this stuff and can you recommend a place to buy it. It looks like the genuine root is rather expensive. I just want to be certain I get from a reputable company.

I am using it, and from what I have heard from an expert on the stuff, a really good extract is just as good as the really expensive root that you buy direct from over seas, not to mention it’s a hell of alot easier to take. There is a good extract from source naturals, and another from Physicians formula’s. I’ve taken both brands and I always double the dose that is listed on the bottle and never take it more then once in seven days. It’s good stuff.

CDnuts,

Do you feel it really improved things for you though? Did it improve your libido, sex and overall well being or just the libido? I had read that it can actually lower SHBG and free up binded T.

thanks

I think you need to look at the ratio. 1:200 is the best i think, it means that 200 grams of root is used to make 1 gram of extract, so the higher the ratio the more potent the formula… theoretically. I also don’t know how you could guarantee your getting what you pay for either, but i guess if you try a brand that works for you then just stick with it.

And as cdnuts said, i think cycling it is a good idea.

All of the above. On the days I take this I am more aggressive, I feel juiced, I feel good. I feel like a man should. Don’t overdo it though, or it will stop working. Add Tribulis to the mix and you really feel good. It’s almost addicting, like I want to take it again the next day, but I always hold back because I don’t want the magic to fade. I can pretty much control how I am going to feel and function by what supplements I take. By cycling them they seriously work every time I take them, without fail.

I also take Avena Sativa to unbound T from SHBG. I also take this once a week and is part of my cycle.

#7
