Stevia: What's New in 2019? Appetite, Food Intake, Fertility, Metabolism, Microbiome | Plus: Is Your Stevia 'Natural'?

Written by | published on
Image
Stevia is available in all forms and combinations... often you don't realize before you take a look at the label that it was literally diluted with fillers and other sweeteners such as erythritol etc. Moreover, no one can reliably tell you if the exclusion of the "bitter stuff" and reliance on Rebaudioside A, exclusively, doesn't nullify some of the previously described health benefits of the whole plant. I was just about to simply add the results of a recent study to your daily dose of research news on " FB/SuppVersity ", when it occurred to me that it has been suspiciously quiet on the sweetener front , lately - specifically when it comes to stevia, a sweetener of which many people claim that it was "natural"... But is that true, is what you can buy at the supermarket or online really still "natural"? While the former is certainly a question of your definition of natural" (do you think a highly processed, isolated white powder ...

Shilajit: Ayurvedic Testosterone Booster that Works in Men, not Rats: ~20% Increase in Free T + Higher Total T & DHEA

Written by | published on

"Get leaner, more muscular and hornier than ever before" - That's probably the promise on the T-booster someone will release after reading this SuppVersity article and sourcing an inferior Shilajit extract on Alibaba. No, I hadn't heard of Purified Shilajit (PS), either, before I read about it in a very recent study in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Andrologia (Pandit. 2015). Actually, the study was first published in online (ahead or print), in late 2015. It took several months for it to be finally available in print and to appear on my "study radar", though. Shilajit is traditionally used in Ayurveda, an indigenous system of Indian medicine, as a remedy for several diseases, particularly chronic diseases. It is a pale-brown to blackish-brown exudate that oozes from sedimentary rocks worldwide, largely in the Himalayas. The natives describe it as pahar-ki-pasina (sweat of mountains), paharki-khoon (mountain blood), shilaras (rock juice), asphalt...

BroScience Research: "What do Bros Say About AAS Use and the Prevention of Shut Down & Infertility?"

Written by | published on
Image
Are today's "muscle men" not going to be able to procreate? If you are frequenting any of the popular fitness and bodybuilding bulletin boards, you will know that "broscience" is a mixture of anecdotal evidence and hilarious claims that is spiked with cherry picked scientific references. Against that background it may sound funny that researchers from the New Castle Fertility Center  devoted a complete study to the analysis of drugs and protocols highlighted by the online community of users for prevention and/or mitigation of adverse effects of steroid use. If you think about it, however, it's only logical that doctors will be better able to help their patients if they understand what brought them in a situation in which they have to see a doctor at a fertility clinic. Resistance training is the only powerful  muscle builders  with positive health effects! Tri- or Multi-Set Training for Body Recomp.? Alternating Squat & Blood Pressure - Pro...

New "Gold Standard" For "Natural" Testosterone Boosting: 10x Increase in Plasma Testosterone After Subcutaneous Gold Chloride Injections in 2004 Rodent Study

Written by | published on
Image
Image 1: The world's first "all natural" test booster that is worth every penny... even if, just like the competition, it does not turn your muscles into granite hard stone ;-) I guess, by now, it is an "open secret" that I am no particular fan of "natural test boosters", simply because the effect of these products on the revenue of their producers is usually several orders of magnitudes larger than their effect on the testosterone levels of their credulous customers. And while even the "product" today's blogpost is about has nothing but a single rodent study to back its efficacy, it certainly would be a valuable investment in these days of permanent financial crisis: gold! I honestly don't remember exactly how I happened onto this study, but the results are so extraordinary, that I thought it was worth a post despite the fact that it was originally published in 2004 and thusly does not qualify as part of "latest research...

+76% Testosterone & Protection From Insane Amounts of EMR With Rosmarinic Acid from O. Basilicum, Majoram, Thyme and Several Other Herbs in Your Kitchen Cabinet

Written by | published on

Figure 1: O. basilicum extract was the rosmarinic acid (RA) source that was used in the study at hand; other common herbs which contain RA include rosemary (who would have guessed that ;-), Spanish sage , lavender , perilla and lemon balm , majoram , thyme and mint That I am not a fan of testosterone boosters is probably an "open secret"... specifically in terms of "scientifically proven" ones, without any human data to back their claims and a single rodent study published in the African Journal of Pharmacology to back claims that like "increases lean mass" or "helps you shed body fat" that would not be supported by the study data, anyways... so, just to make sure that you , as a faithful student of the SuppVersity are the first to know about the (I bet) soon to be released "scientifically proven" testosterone booster, I decided to share with you the results of... exactly, one of those rodent studies from the January issue of the...
