Anacyclus Pyrethrum - Male Vitality Booster Or Fake News?
Original post in this thread

I sure have seen a lot of testimonials and even some interesting animal-based studies on Anacyclus Pyrethrum (otherwise known as Akarkara) , regarding sperm health and libido.
I realize that animal-studies are not nearly as convincing as human studies. However, I have heard of numerous men, reporting strength gains in the gym with this herb. So three questions:
Does anyone have any viable insight on this herbs?
Has Nootropics Depot looked into this herb, or is it another example of a chronically fraudulent product?
If you have found that this herb works for you, do you have a brand that you recommend in the meantime?

Sorry, should have been clear. Not as a functional replacement, but more as a desire to swap in a different complementary ingredient to round it out. Hopefully pregnenolone is doing most of the work DHEA was anyway.

Pregnenolone gets you most of the way, but there are a few downstream metabolites that happen with DHEA that don't with pregnenolone, so it really is a useful ingredient. It's hard to replace.
