Cistanche vs Shilajit as test booster?

There is a reason we have not released a fadogia agrestis extract, even though we would make a fuckload of money if we did. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378874107005296 https://journals.sagep

There is a reason we don't carry those two products. Be careful, as both of them show the possibility of toxicity to multiple organ systems. Fadogia agrestis https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03788

Dude, 60 milligrams of zinc per day?!? That's downright dangerous!

Shoden has a lot higher withanolides than KSM-66, but I do like both of them. You won't go wrong with either. No reason to jump to a 1g dose of cistanche. Start with our recommended dose at first, and see how you react.

You can up the dose. We err on the side of caution with our recommendations.

Okay, that's good. Just be careful to include that info when giving suggestions to others, as many people don't realize they can harm themselves with too much zinc. Some people will legit see you report that you used 60m

If you are looking for just testosterone specifically, I would combine the tongkat 10% with the Primavie. It has direct evidence in humans for raising testosterone levels. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.111

That's correct. Most zinc forms can lower copper levels.

Comment · Tue, February 15, 2022 · 2 pts

Yes, multiple customers are taking 200mg of the 10% per day. It depends on people's weight, too. I always tell people to start with one tablet first, though. I personally take 1 tablet per day.

There's so much fake shit out there, it is insane. Double Wood's shit is ridiculous. 95% turkesterone? Sure, Jan... It's totally fucking fake. 95% turkesterone doesn't exist. We just tested a bunch of "90% beta ecdystero

Comment · Wed, February 16, 2022 · 3 pts

Yep! That one will be our first. The turkesterone one will take longer, as all the raw material suppliers are selling fake/poor quality shit. Guess what the highest turkesterone level we have tested is so far.... 0.25%!!

I do longer cycles. So I will take a week off every few months.

It depends on the person, but yes. I generally prefer longer cycles. Some things work with 5-2 cycling, if they clear the system quickly. The longer cycle method works well, because some things take a few days to fully c

Yes, it is very safe. I would start with 2 before going to 3, though.

I can't express to you how mad I am. It has been years of me uncovering more and more fraud and deception in this industry. It's a decade of me watching companies lie and defraud their way to the top. We have to fight so

It's my pleasure! Let me know how you respond to everything!

Yes, I would give the 10% a shot. It's pretty universal in people's responses. The 10% gives less nausea than the 2%.

This one might actually be a bit better with a high fat meal, as the bile salts can help it absorb better.

Comment · Thu, February 17, 2022 · 16 pts

Yes, this is one that will be helped by taking it with a meal. The ironic thing is that is because the actives are very polar, or water-soluble. Because they are so water-soluble, they have trouble absorbing through the

Do you mean cistanche?

Too much zinc can deplete copper levels, cause cramps, diarrhea, and headaches. It can also paradoxically lower immunity and lower the good HDL cholesterol. The daily upper limit for adults is 40mg, so that product is ov

Hmm, perhaps. It is a bile salt derivative, but I am not sure if it has similar effects on solubility in the GI tract. I will have to research that a bit more!

Since we have not found a single turkesterone supplier selling anything over 0.25% so far, I would seriously question it. It's possible they have some super secret supplier selling something legit, but we are very connec

It's very hard to source and properly test some of this novel stuff. Many people might have good intentions and might think they are doing their due diligence. However, you don't know what you don't know. Lots of labs wi

The sleep effects are really cool, and one effect that people don't realize when taking Cistanche.

Comment · Sat, February 19, 2022 · 6 pts

Yes, we have been working on it. I think the limitation was cost. The pricing we were able to get for a pure batch of TUDCA made us not price competitive. There is no way some of these brands selling it are selling real

It might help a bit with tongkat, as eurycomanone is slightly too polar to have really high oral bioavailability. Also, many people have found that if they take our tongkat with food it prevents the nausea they can get,

It's possible on beta ecdysterone. I have not tested their specifically, though. Turkesterone? No way. Doesn't exist at the moment. One of our trusted suppliers has been trying to source it for years, and all their testi

Cistanche seems fine without cycling, but I always tell people to take a week or so off every few months to assess things.

It's 20mg of sucrosomial zinc, which delivers 8mg of elemental zinc. Always go by the elemental number. The upper limit would depend on your sex, weight, and if you are getting zinc from other things in your diet. The t

Of the samples we have tested, the tubulosa species seems to have higher levels of echinacoside and verbascoside. However, we need to do more testing to really see if that is a trend that holds consistently. We are also
