New to ND. Other TA did nothing. Some questions.

Original post in this thread

DetSportsGuy · 5 points

I took Doublewood TA for 4 months and it did absolutely nothing for me as shown above in my bloodwork (my Apple Health is linked to my medical apps, so it’s real data, not just me inputting it manually).

My testosterone isn’t exactly low according to normal levels but have been working out for the last 2 years (100 minutes a day of cardio and weights) and have gotten into the best shape of my life at 40 years old and want to maximize my gains. Already at my ideal weight (down 60 pounds) and have gained very noticeable muscle for my build (naturally stick thin with no muscle before I got lazy) but want to do more. Already eating 0.8 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight

Took ND TA for the first time today me will run labs again in 2 months to see if it’s helped. Just ordered some ND Boron because a few people recommended that I take it with the TA and possibly cycle it depending on how I feel.

Wanted to list what I’m taking and see if I can cut anything out. Don’t want to be taking so many different things everyday. Or possibly simplify what I’m taking. I will admit I know next to nothing and am trying to learn more every day.

My pre workout is
Beta-alanine
L-citr…

Have you tested their LJ100? I’m curious to see how that compares to your 2%

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · ND Owner

LJ100 has about 0.5% eurycomanone. We have tested multiple brands selling it, and it always comes in around there. This includes Akarali, who are selling Physta, which is just LJ100 branding outside the US. They claim 1.5% eurycomanone, or even 3% on some pages. We found 0.58%.

I talked about it in this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/NootropicsDepot/comments/1bgdika/korean_ginseng_corp_vs_nd_panax_ginseng/kz616ci/

We have not tested Double Wood's LJ100 specifically, but it is all the same extract from the same supplier in Malaysia. It's not going to have more than around half a percent, based on our testing.

Why am I an aggressive dude when I take Tongkat Ali?

When you increase testosterone in the subcortical areas of the brain, while not increasing cortisol and serotonin, you can get aggressive. Tongkat ali both increases testosterone and lowers cortisol. Since you are natura

Replying to iTsPriMeTiiMe · Was surprised you guys didn't include any ginseng in the TA stack. I remember you saying that ginseng was the most effective in balancing the drop in cortisol/tiredness feeling som

We did in an earlier formula. However, in our testing we decided to take it out. For one, it was adding too much to the cost. It's already expensive as it is. Also, it was taking up a lot of space. We didn't want to move

Are 2% tongkat and 10% the same, besides the dose?

They use the same raw material as a starting place, and both use the same solvents in the extraction. However, whenever you alter the extraction to concentrate more of one thing, you inevitably will alter the effects som

Replying to smallorangepopsicle · Lol excellent. Me as well sir, but I take tongkat sporadically bc knee pain. Confuses me as far as keeping an eye on my lyme symptoms. Seems like I read it mitigates glucocorticoid

I actually took a tribulus stack we are working on today, too. So I am extra amped up! LOL The knee pain from tongkat is a drop in estrogen. This is where combining it with horny goat weed and Panax ginseng can help. D
