Polygala effects on libido and testosterone?

Original post in this thread

faxmulder · 3 points

Hi folks,

I’ve read rave reviews about polygala for mood, focus and many other benefits.

However I couldn’t find a clear answer whether polygala decreases libido and testosterone in males or not.

Do you have any experience and/or reference about this aspect?

Thanks everybody!

Thanks mate, I highly value your feedback.

Below some experience from users: I know that they are only anecdotal but, you know, when it is related to libido I want to be sure.

That being said, I have a few more questions

* which other supps could be good interactions with polygala for positive mood/outlook, motivation, focus, brain fog and rumination?
* taking it with saffron and/or SAMe would be overkill?
* is it necessary to cycle polygala in order to not develop…

Sex drive does not always correlate to testosterone levels. It's a complicated process. I would not assume that a change to sex drive is due to a change in serum testosterone levels.

I'll just stick to legal things for this conversation. I find our Tongkat 10% to really keep my mood up. No doubt the testosterone is the reason for that. Polygala is another that is mood boosting for me. /u/Pretty-Chill

Anyone try the saffron yet?

Replying to 7Delusions · Could definitely be. But I think they would also put their hands on other material as well, not only saffron, who knows? I ll make an order soon. It would be my first purchase fro

Organized crime controls a lot of high value plants around the world, actually. Polygala isn't really stimulating, but you will feel more energized after a few days of taking it.

Saffron Extract

Replying to 420be-here-nowlsd · I’ve noticed some benefits from Saffron extract but of course I’d rather get it from you. You do have plenty of natural extracts already. What do you recommend for focus - cordy

If I had to pick one... probably cordyceps 10:1. Polygala is great, too. However, that is more mood.
