Can I be a non responder to tongkat and cistanche?

Original post in this thread

I’m taking 200mg tongkat Ali 5 times a week, and 400mg cistanche every night before bed. Should I bump the tongkat up to 400mg?

I got my testosterone checked twice, the results actually came out lower this time for some reason before I started taking anything. It went from 463 to 413.

The cistanche does give me good quality sleep, and CRAZY vivid dreams, so I will keep taking it regardless. It has been better for me than any sleeping pill I’ve ever taken; but for some reason i get anxiety about 45 minutes after I take it when I lay down. That’s just a little side issue though; if anyone would know why that happens I would appreciate it.

Do you have any guesses as to what the other company could’ve mixed in there? I legit gained 8-12 lbs of muscle mass in 3-4 months when I took that product and assumed it was the cistanche along with my bulking routine.

It's hard to say without knowing what to look for. It's like finding a needle in a haystack unless you have an idea of the chemical structure it might be. 8-12 lbs of muscle from cistanche sounds farfetched. I love cistanche, but that sounds like something more potent to me.

There are so many bullshit tongkats on the market now, especially after Huberman went on Rogan. I am just going to be very direct here, as I no longer have the time nor the energy for bullshit. Anyone selling a 200:1 ton

Well I can't tell you the specifics yet! We just might have discovered that there are other classes of compounds in there that don't come over in high amounts when you concentrate the main actives, so doing two different

Replying to anexanhume · Lots of disappointment for those expecting the Tongkat stack.

It's coming, but we want it to be perfect first. There's a lot of BS in the science on Tongkat that we are working through.
