Those of you that have previously experienced negative side effects with Pregnenolone and Cistanche extract on their own, has your experience with Cistamax been better?

Thanks

Cistamax made me very depressed for a couple of weeks. I had to give up on it. It was bad. Absolutely no interest in anything and no pleasure. Just down in the dumps.

Really weird because I had been taking the old cistanche formula and shilajit every day for like a year and a half straight and take ND’s pregnenalone for 6 weeks on/6 weeks off (with TA 10%) since they released it. The only thing I had never tried before was the DHEA. And of course the cistanche formula is different.

I’m wondering if it had to do with glutamate? Just a shot in the dark—it made me feel shitty like Theanine makes me feel but to the extreme. Absolutely no pleasure.

It’s a bummer because I was really looking forward to it—so much that I decided to buy the big bottle rather than trying the little bottle first—after all, I was already taking almost all of that stuff already.

I started to feel better two days after cessation and felt totally back to normal after about four days.

I think we are going to release the supercritical CO2 cistanche extract as standalone for people like you. Many people react really well to preg and DHEA, but some people don't. Standalone will be the way to go for you.

What in CistaMax has the immune boosting effects that I've noticed, (og Cistanche extract doesn't)?

It's honestly a combo of it all. The polysaccharides from the non-extracted Cistnache will help improve immune function, as will the echinacoside from the extracts. DHEA also helps modulate immune function, as does shila
