Please consider doing a video on supplements for older adults with cognitive decline. You often note when studies examined a supplement on older adults, with the caveat that those benefits might not occur with younger adults. One video that consolidates supplements that help older adults, however, is needed. I would suggest you review Dale Bredsen's books on ending alzheimer's that include suggested blood tests. I've had many of these test done for my dad and would pay for a review and evaluation of the blood test results and suggested supplements, similar to your testosterone support.

Does the blocking of AR in the hypothalamus that mean it would affect AR systematically?

[@bperry8700]

Is the echinacoside in Cistanche only binding to the androgen receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to stimulate the secretion of LHA and T through positive feedback and not binding and blocking the androgen receptors in muscles negatively affecting anabolism or muscle growth?

[@River_dawg]

I have the same question. If not what you said, then it seems like the AR blocking would nullify the muscular benefit of increased levels of circulating T.

[@bperry8700]

@@River_dawg I reached out to ND and here is their response: I was able to discuss this matter further with our Product Specialist and per the study you had linked, there is nothing mentioned regarding AR receptors in muscles. That being said, there is also no evidence for Cistanche impacting AR receptors in the muscles. Our email response was based on the thousands of satisfied customers who have had positive effects with Cistanche for muscle growth. In addition, the hypothalamic AR agonist effect. Cistanche Tubulosa also significantly enhances steroidogenic enzyme activity, LH levels, and growth hormone levels. All of which will come together in order to promote physical performance.

[@damienlahoz]

Currently on TRT but I am interested experimenting with this supplement for the mood enhancing capabilities. However, I’m concerned with the androgen receptor blocking and how that may affect my TRT making it less beneficial. Is that a valid concern? Thanks!

[@pf871]

Amigo sou meio leigo nesse assunto, o que quer dizer trt

[@ildecruz4997]

It would actually help. When on trt your Testicles shut down because your receptors let your brain know there is already enough Testosterone. With the the receptors blocked your body would not shut down your testicular function. But if you've been on trt a long time you may never gain the function of your testes back and in that case the supplement would have no benefit to your Testosterone level. The dangerous part is that estrogen should be balanced in some way to testosterone and if you're body can't monitor it your estrogen level will be out of line. We don't want too much estrogen but we do need it.

If you enjoy the effects of glutamate inhibitors, you should check out Agmatine Sulfate.

Taking 1g before bedtime always gives me the most reparative sleep ever without any trouble waking up the next morning. It can be challenging to find a seller for it but I believe it wasn't banned anywhere as it seems to be very safe.

@@gatesroyale because it is a psychoactive antidepressant, while L-tryptophan is merely an essential amino acid that is biosynthesized into 5-htp, (and then into serotonin). Supplementation of both 5-htp and L-tryptophan, (and somewhat with tryptamine itself) yield similar results that Wellbutrin cannot ascertain because of its various other receptor affinity (it is not only a SSRI, but also is a NDRI and a nicotinic antagonist).

[@bradleybrown7607]

My guy, this makes no sense. I'm talking about your last point in the video, cistanche was noted to block only the hypothalamus AR. Not every other AR, and the hypothalamus is what regulates testosterone and nearly every other test booster (tongkat, fadogia, etc) is thought to interact with the hypothalamus. My thoughts are that we are just getting rid of the body's "safety net" which I believe for the purpose of increasing testosterone, is a good thing. Otherwise if it blocked all AR wouldn't it start to cause feminization? In my opinion you have misunderstood the research, but I will keep an eye on my morning wood and muscle mass.

[@jessehavlin1490]

Yeah we know it blocks ARs in the hypothalamus and it doesn't block ARs in the testes, but I personally can't find if it blocks ARs in muscle tissue. That's the real important piece in this puzzle. Do you know for sure it doesn't prevent binding in the muscle, and if so do you have a source?

[@bradleybrown7607]

@@jessehavlin1490 can only find research that says it block hypothalamus, nothing else. However I have gotten bigger and stronger since taking it, I will continue to monitor.

[@NutritionLibrary]

It’s AR binding affinity was only tested in the Hypothalamus and testis. As stated in the paper referenced (which I’m assuming you read) it only slightly bound to testicular ARs only because of its inability to cross the blood testicular barrier. However, it was able to cross the blood brain barrier which lead to it binding in the hypo. Cistanche universally binds to ARs. The only question is weather or not it is able to reach certain tissues or not. It’s is highly plausible that Cistanche does in fact reach muscle tissue, but not proven yet.

[@bluey8843]

@@NutritionLibrary Have you read "Cistanches herba Induces Testis Cytotoxicity in Male Mice"?, it's worth approaching this herb with an err of caution which you mentioned by not recommending it yet. Interestingly, the authors of "Cistanche tubulosa ethanol extract mediates rat sex hormone levels by induction of testicular steroidgenic enzymes" didn't see these results using the same concentrations and rat model (similar enough to mice) though there was mild liver toxicity present.

More recently I tried a 20:1 concentrated extract that had all of the positive effects that have been discussed. I would definitely use it again at some point. The only negative is that it can be slightly constipating. It may also be worth looking at traditional Chinese herbs from the traditional side as well, since it can let you know better what to expect and being based on years of empirical evidence with humans, it may offer valuable additional insights.

[@ariane8559]

Alot of the resent hyped product have been just slighlt benefitial for boosting endurance and strenght, for example turkesterone and ashwaganda. Are you sure this acually works? I did both aswhwaganda and turkesterone on a healthy bulk and got 20 out of 30 in the testosterone test my previous was 19 out of 30. We dont do the scale up to 900 like you do in america here in sweden we have a diffrent scale where the healthy score is ranged between 15-30

[@stieg_smith]

You did those on a “healthy bulk” the increase in your testosterone was probably due to eating healthy food and more of it

Bro.. Can I give you some advice? Try a product with boron in it. Look into it. I'm a natural lifter. Nothing crazy- but a product I take helps me BIG time. Has Boron in it.

Do you know anything about FEMA 2862 or MK2862 ?

[@oxy9822]

How do i get it

[@MrAidyHd]

Yes bro i want to know more also. Fema 2862/MK2862 is in a product called Ligain that my supp store sells and I've always wondered if it was a Natural sarm or not.

[@DB6__]

@@MrAidyHd hey bro, I just bought 2 months worth. I bought a different brand not from Ligain. This one has MK2862 and is a Myostatin Inhibitor. It seems to be quite good, cost me $200 for just 8 weeks (pharmaceutical grade). I will let you know how it goes.

[@MrAidyHd]

@@DB6__ yeah for sure, is that myoblast that you got? I also saw that one, has mk2862 and Epicatechin. But yeah with it being sold in a supp store i thought it would be completely legal/natural, but after finding out MK-2682 was a androgen modulator, made me a bit hesitant on trying it out. Can't seem to find any info about it online though.

[@DB6__]

@@MrAidyHd where does it say mk2682 is an androgen modulator? Yes Myoblast is the one I got. 2 bottles. Should last me 8-10 weeks depending on days on/off. I haven’t found much on mk2682 online, not sure if it is androgenic at all as it doesn’t require PCT

@ nutrition library, any way you could incorporate the affects of Wellbutrin and and how it’s seems to increase LH and decrease prolactin?

[@ripwheeler2056]

@Super Mario Um no … I’m prescribed to it , and it does do the 2 things I’ve stated, wanted to know how exactly….

[@geraldfriend256]

That interests me. I was once prescribed it and it seemed to have a slight boost in energy without the same side effects as adderol or even ephedrine. I will never touch ssri s again tho. But good to know there may be added value as with Metformin.

[@ripwheeler2056]

@@geraldfriend256 exactly, through all the research I’ve done on it can’t seem to find the mechanisms that facilitate the increase+decrease I’ve probably put 4 hours into reading mice trials and the few human trials and am stumped, and your right I used to be on adderall and it’s like 1/4 the feeling of my dose plus some libido boost , but adderall nuked my test 🤷‍♂️

[@Owen-C1997]

I believe it's a MAOi so it increases serotonin. Could be why but I might be wrong I haven't read up on it in awhile

[@CrackedZac]

That’s how I feel with ashwagandha. Since I’ve been taking it I find it harder to get out of bed, but I take it in the morning. When I take it at night I sleep more consistent throughout the night but I feel like I didn’t sleep at all. I feel like shit when I wake up in the morning when I take ashwagandha at night and after just three days of taking it at night I stopped because I felt like I hadn’t slept at all
