Ecklonia cava update and question

Any updates on EC or hints on what month it’s releasing? Also a quick question, since 100% of the ec other brands sell is fake how can we be sure if the studies also used real ecklonia cava and if the effects of it aren’t from a different supplement?

It’s funny you say the tanning part, I’ve been taking white ginger and as much as I love it for my skin it makes me more sun sensitive as someone who’s never been sensitive. So this could be a great upside to cancel that unwanted effect out.
As for the hair growth you said you have to shave more as well, does that mean the hair growth mechanisms aren’t from cutting dht but rather something else? My main reason for wanting this was so I can buy other test boosting nootropics from you guys and keep my dht under control because I’m very sensitive to changes

I take white jelly every day, and have for years, so that's a default part of my stack. This effect from the Ecklonia cava was on top of the white jelly.
It's hard to say a mechanism for the hair growth. It's not just facial hair, but my head hair growing faster as well. The below study postulates that it is either DHT reduction through 5-AR effects, or increasing the proliferation of DPC, or immortalized vibrissa dermal papilla cells.
