Garcinia Cola Seeds as a Testosterone Booster: 100%+ Increased Testosterone and Powerful Aphrodisiac Effects

Written by | published on

Better than asparagus ;-) I have to admit, it has been a while since I've written about "natural testosterone boosters". In the last article that was remotely related to this topic, I even wrote that they are useless for 90% of the male population, because even if  they boost your testosterone levels by 10-20% this is very unlikely  to have the muscle building and fat burning effects that are marketed on the packages of and in the ads for respective products. Why? Well, even with real gear it takes more than just a 10% boost within the normal range before you see results ( learn more  | specifically Figure 2 where green is the large "normal" range). So why do I even bother about yet another rodent study dealing with the ability of a more or less exotic flowering plant found in Benin, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone and its ability to boost testosterone levels? If you want ...

I did miss my own 1000-posts jubilee! This week it's pretty easy to find the SuppVersity figure of the week. It's 1011 and that's the number of individual posts this "blog" currently holds. Actually, the very moment I hit the "publish" button on this one, it's going to be 1012 (see image on the right). I guess, I should have 'celebrated' that twelve posts before, but you know how I am, it's about the quality, not the quantity and though I am aware that the latter is unquestionably fluctuating, I would hope that each of you has found one or two 'pearls' - I mean, if you didn't why are you coming back regularly, then? Apropos regularly, it's Saturday and thus about time for a couple of "On Short Notice" items. So let's not waste any time flattering and get to the science news business: Vitamin A essential for liver regeneration. Plus: β-carotene and cancer even in non-smokers So much for the vitami...

2g Vitamin C Ameliorate Low Testosterone Levels and Sexual Dysfunction in Diabetic Rats. Usefulness in Normoglycemic Individuals Still Questionable.

Written by | published on

Illustration 1: In view of the increase in renal vitamin C clearance with higher plasma levels ( Friedmann. 1940 ), it may be sensible to use a time-released vitamin C formula , or, even better, eat a serving of veggies or fruits that are high in vitamin C multiple times a day Yes, I know, supplemental vitamin C does not ward off the common cold... the same applies for taking super high doses of vitamin C as antioxidant buffers before or around workouts. In fact, studies have shown that the antioxidant overkill of a combination of vitamin C and other powerful antioxidants could negate the beneficial effects exercise has on human blood glucose management. Now, a group of Brazilian scientists has published a rodent study that seems to suggest that in the absence of exercise the addition of 2g (human equivalent for 80kg male) of vitamin C to your diet could partially restore sexually function and increase testosterone levels in diabetic pa...

Image 1: Gingko biloba trees are one of a kind, with no close living relatives (image Schwabe Pharm .) I bet you got one of those Viagra spam mails, today, as well, didn't you? Well, although I assume you would not need the small blue pills, anyway, you may be interest to read that researchers from the People's Republic of China may have found a viable Viagra alternative in a longstanding (pun intended ;-) ingredient of Traditional Chinese (and meanwhile also Western) Medicine : Gingko biloba . In order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of previously ( Yeh. 2010 ) observed beneficial effects of Ginkgo biloba extract on noncontact erections in male rats, Yeh et al. ( Yeh. 2011 ) recorded both copulation, as well as non-contact erections in a group of 20 male Long-Evans (telling name, isn't it?) rats, which had been randomly assigned to a treatment ( 50mg/kg body weight Gingko biloba extract [EGb 761 from Schwabe Pharmac...

Image 1: Not as realiable as bloodwork, but a valid first indicator of testosterone levels and metabolic health in general (image from Millionlineincome ) I have been writing about getting hormones tested before. And if you listened to Thursday's episode of Super Human Radio and tuned in even before I was on, you will have heard Dr. Crisler from "All Things Male" talk about the paramount importance of optimal testosterone and free testosterone levels on physiological and pyschological health of the purportedly "stronger" sex (yeah, I am talking about us, guys ;-) If that got you interested or you suspect, for whatever reason, to have low testosterone levels, but are unwilling or unable to spend money on a blood test, you may well be interested in the results of a study that was published in the May issue of the Asian Journal of Andrology ( Alan. 2011 ). Alan et al. who investigated the relationship of age, adiposity ...

Now Its Official: Propecia Drug Finasteride Kills Male Libido Permanently

Written by | published on

Image 1: Chemical structure of finasteride Other than the FDA some European medicine and health care agencies, such as the Swedish Medical Products Agency and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency of the United Kingdom already had the guts to declare in their patient informations that " persistence of erectile dysfunction after discontinuation of treatment with Propecia has been reported in post-marketing use. " While this was obviously no reason for the all-mighty FDA to correct or re-evaluate their own documents, two it did intrigue Michael S. Irwig and Swapna Kolukula, two US scientists from Washington and Baltimore, respectively. In their study ( Irwig. 2011 ), the scientists conducted standardized interviews with 71 otherwise healthy men (age: 21–46y), who experienced permanent (>3 months) sexual side effects after temporary use of Finasteride. Their reports are staggering: 94% developed low libido , 92% developed erectile dysfunction , 92% d...
