It's the DHEA that's the issue. Your government won't allow that, unfortunately.
Cistamax + Eurycomax
Replying to Chargers95 · 🤔MYASD was (at least) part of this comment written with AI? The timeline you provided actually screams AI, and I don’t think in my now 7 years of reading your comments religiously…
We are actually right in the middle of working on these types of timelines for the product pages, so I figured I would respond here with it as well. People have been consistently asking what they should expect after taking a product, and when, to make it easier for them to unders…
Cistamax + Eurycomax
We designed them to work together, and I always try to get people to combine them for best effects. Cistamax and Eurycomax act as a highly effective hormonal and performance stack because they target testosterone production, energy, and recovery through completely non-overlapping…
Cistamax + Eurycomax
Replying to NTACF · I haven’t done both together but plenty here have. May want to look into a quality boron supplement to specifically address the SHBG issue.
Eurycomax already has boron in it.
Concerns about Cistanche Supercritical Extract & Steroidogenesis: Does Acteoside/Verbascoside actually drop Testosterone? (Looking at this 2015 study)
Replying to DoctorBoneMarrow · Looks like Cistanche would be perfect for young individuals with low testosterone due to low-grade inflammation from metabolic syndrome. I'm now excited about the clinical trial wh…
There are other phenylethanoid glycosides, like tubuloside A-E, isoacteoside, 2'-acetylacteoside, cistanoside A–N, and salidroside. There are also iridoids like geniposidic acid, catalpol, bartsioside, and 8-epiloganic acid. As to why the supercritical CO2 extract feels more stim…

Replying to [deleted] · [deleted]
You are referencing a specific published finding in a [2018 study](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5832853/) that demonstrated that echinacoside acts on the hypothalamic androgen receptor (AR) directly, binding within the AR ligand pocket at residues Met-894 and Val-713,…

Replying to Evil_Squirrel_72 · Did some quick googling and the parts I lookup up checks out. Where did you get all this info (aka how you get so smart about this)?
I have a team of scientists where all we do all day long is talk about mechanisms and the science, then perform analysis in the lab to try to prove it. Every single Monday we have a call with the team, that usually lasts at least 5-6 hours, where we collaboratively discuss resear…
Concerns about Cistanche Supercritical Extract & Steroidogenesis: Does Acteoside/Verbascoside actually drop Testosterone? (Looking at this 2015 study)
No, and most people are missing a massive fundamental point in the bioactives. Acteoside and echinacoside are both large, polar, heavily glycosylated molecules (~624 Da and ~786 Da respectively) with multiple sugar units. They are glycosides that are too large to absorb into the…
NMN + Erinamax = Why did I get a massive energy boost from both?
Replying to Warm_Ad_6177 · This more or less always happens to me with NMN or OptiNAD regardless of what’s in my stack, I’ve dabbled off and on since you released them and my daily drivers have changed a lot…
The hesperidin and black ginger are the ones that affect it with me. Both increase AMPK activity, which is the mechanism I have most narrowed it down to.

Yep! We are actually setting up a clinical study right now. I want to do at least 3 arms: Eurycomax alone, Cistamax alone, and Eurycomax + Cistamax together. I am considering doing a 4th arm with TRT, but we are trying to determine if that can be allowed by the IRB for healthy pe…

Any ETA for new ND releases?
Replying to CitronOk9793 · Hi MYASD, is the full spectrum cistanche a decent seller? I've been having amazing results taking it in high doses. I imagine given sales trends powders aren't likely to be new ite…
Full spectrum Cistanche is an okay seller. It's not at the bottom, but it is not in the top 100 products of ours either. Cistamax is by far the best seller, followed by our OG ultra potent, then the supercritical CO2, then the full spectrum. When you take 6 capsules of the full s…

95% of supplement brands use contract manufacturers to formulate, encapsulate, and package the final bottles. If they do any lab testing at all, they have to send off to other labs and rely on them. They use contract fulfillment companies to actual fulfill the orders, or have Ama…

Replying to MrRADicalKMS · Do you think it will EVER be possible to mimic and grow Cistanche in another place? Like what is being done with Cordyceps I believe and some other things (not just by you guys)?
Absolutely! We have some special projects going on right now where we have done just that for some other species. We are the first in the world to cultivate some mushrooms that have only been able to grow in the wild till this point. I won't let the cat out of the bag yet, as it…

Vertical integration in our case is for lab testing, finished supplement manufacturing, R&D, fulfillement, and marketing. That's 100% of what we sell. We still contract out production of the raw materials. You have to. Some things are only grown or made in certain places. Cistanc…

DHT boosters / safety profile prostate
Replying to Appropriate_Ad5025 · That is amazing! I am wondering MYASD, do you have a cycling protocol for the Eurycomax, Cistamax, and Tribugen? Or do you take them year-round?
I take them year round. No cycling.
DHT boosters / safety profile prostate
I have been taking Eurycomax, Cistamax, and Tribugen all together, and I recent did bloodwork. My total testosterone was 942ng/dL, my free testosterone was 91.2pg/mL, and my DHT was 79ng/dL. The reference range for DHT is 12-65, so I was well over the top of the reference range.…

Yeah, the Thorne one is 100% fermentable. It's not balanced at all. That surprised me a bit. Ours is going to be exactly what you are looking for. It's going to give you all the prebiotic and SFCA effects, but also the bulking effects. We are also designing it to pair perfectly w…
