Ashwagandha(KSM) and Libido Experience

Original post in this thread

inmy325xi · 18 points

I decided to add KSM to my daily stack to aid into getting more serious about my weight training routine. I thought everything was fine until I realized that I wasn't getting aroused with my gf, and when I did I couldn't really keep it up. This is the total opposite of me 4 days ago before I started.

I know that the science states the opposition where Ashwagandha tends to boost libido and Test but this is the only change to my stack.

In the future, I think KSM is more situational for a stressful time period like at work or a major life event, but on a daily basis, be sure to take note if you notice anything weird going on down there.

Sorry, but I read a lot of reports in reddit and longecity about KSM - 66 severely impairing libido.

Also, it makes me tired and screw up my thyroid function making me lose too much weight.

People should know that it can happen, this study use a mega dose, is true, but they should research more about the libido claims of ashwagandha.

I used to love this supplement, it really kills anxiety, I have nothing against it but a bad experience on the long time.

Ayurveda is not for me, Centella, Bacopa, Ashwagandha, they all mess with my thyroid, energy levels and libido. TCM works better in my opinion.

No doubt. Listen to your body. If you do not react to adaptogens, then avoid them. You might be sensitive to thyroid changes, which makes side effects more likely. I just want people to know that side effects like that are not common. For every 1 person that has them, there are countless others that don't. We sell a ton of Sensoril and KSM-66 now, and most people love the effects. You do get some like you that react poorly, as with any substance.

I may try to do a synthetic version of it at some point, like our Super Rhodiola. Then we can only bring over the anxiolytic compounds, and leave out the ones that affect the thyroid.

Then I would suggest attacking it from a more natural approach. Supplement L-phenylalanine for dopamine, and tryptophan for serotonin. You can have some NALT around for short term boosts of dopamine, as I find that to be

Noopept making me boring?

Haha, no need for throwaways for something like this. Multiple people have said they have this effect. I took a month break, and now only take them occasionally. I replaced them with adaptogens like Bacopa, Rhodiola, As

Consumerlab report on Chocamine

Replying to Mojowhale · thank you for your answer! appreciated

No problem! Why ConsumerLab decided to test our product for something it is not even standardized to, then not test everyone else for the stuff we are standardized to, is beyond me. Why not test everyone for theobromine

5 days of 3 x 1.6g piracetam use. Still no effect?

Replying to jrhsk8 · Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate it's less subtle than that, but I feel like I would notice it if it really did something. If it is really so unnoticeable, is it even worth it?

To be honest, if you are going into this with the thought that you are going to get rapid and noticeable changes, then you are going to be let down more times that you can count. Nootropics are about finding what works w
