    • @TheHeadincharge
      @TheHeadincharge 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Nah, that’s just because your diet and exercise make you feel good and naturally promote good hormonal usage, the drug is most likely a placebo or very minor. Remember, all it is doing (at best) is increasing your testosterone levels from a normal level to a slightly higher, but still within normal, level. Research is pretty clear that such small fluctuations within the normal range are not very impactful if impactful at all. To see the actual effects of increased testosterone, you need to be far outside of the normal range. This is why proper TRT treatment on someone with low testosterone doesn’t suddenly turn them into a muscle bound beast. To see muscle effects, you need to abuse the treatment.

      @@TheHeadincharge Nicely said. I think health, from a holistic standpoint, should be the primary goal. Everything else will eventually follow that. Diet, stress management, proper sleep, proper amount and kind of exercise combined will all do more for optimal hormone levels than an herbal supplement.
      I do think that some supplements can help to boost a bit, but the above factors are far more important as a toto and especially in combo.

Is there a difference in our natural testosterone levels when you 1st wake up compared to when you go to sleep or mid day. How do you feel now? Do you still feel the positive results after stopping the pills. I wonder how this would work with someone that is already on TRT?

    • @TheHeadincharge
      @TheHeadincharge 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes, testosterone levels can fluctuate up to 30 or 40% through the day for a fully mature man. It is also of course impacted by your diet, stress levels, sleep, and a natural hormone cycle. Without controlling for these things, these tests are essentially meaningless unfortunately.

The production value is amazing and the consistency in editing is incredibly appealing. Thanks for making the content you do as it can lead to some insightful inner dialogue. In particular your "Wasted 20's" video really spoke to me as someone who just passed into 26 and hasn't really found a calling that works for me. I'm quite good at everything I tend to do, but the thought of strapping myself into a particular field of work scares me for some reason. The commitment isn't the issue, rather the long term enjoyment. Regardless, some of the things you said in that video spoke to me and helped me get a bit closer to really settling on a path.

    Are you still taking both products? If so, an update would be welcome some months down the line, to see if the numbers stay high or if the body adapts and downregulates its testosterone production.
    The problem with taking both products at the same time for your experiment, though, is that all the benefits may come from just _one_ of the two products, making taking both a waste of money and an unnecessary health risk.😕

    I've stacked Fadogia and Tongkat, stopped taking the Fadogia as it made my nuts ache. Fadogia also caused this weird sensitivity in my hamstring, such that any movement that stretched the hamstring at all would cause pain and discomfort. Thought it was a coincidence but I confirmed it after cycling on and off it 3 separate times. Tongkat works more like an energy booster for me, but if you stay on it long term it loses it's "spark" so to speak, the best way to use it is only use it on lift days, and don't use it at all during deload weeks. Tongkat always felt like a stimulant to me.

      Nootropics Depot has the strongest Tongkat Ali on the market. Need to give it a try along with their Cistanche Tubulosa. Cistanche is much safer than Fadogia as no one really knows how fadogia works or what specific compounds are causing positive or negative effects. Or you can check out their In Search Of Insight podcast on testosterone and they go over their concerns with Fadogia.

Even the ones that didn't have very noticeable effects on me resulted in some degree of lethargy for a while after I stopped taking them.
      The Fadogia and Tongat Ali combo completely killed my sex drive for at least a week after I stopped. I can't confirm whether or not it's true, but I've definitely heard more than once that supplements related to boosting testosterone or Melatonin all have negative rebounds. This doesn't apply to all types of supplements, but it seems to be common for the ones that promote sleep and testosterone increases in particular.

    Really enjoying your videos. The increase you saw may not be sustainable. The body will usually adjust down its own production to mitigate the influence of the supplement. That takes a while. Furthermore, usually there is also a rebound, when you remove the supplement, a severe drop will result, before, over time, returning to normal levels.

    Tongkat ali releases more free testosterone from shbg so its gonna increase the usable testosterone for the body (only 2% of the total testosterone produced by the body is useable for muscle growth as most is binded by the shbg's)
    Ps. What was your dht levels?....did it increase, stayed the same because usually excess test is converted to dht by the body... *also after stopping taking both the herbs did the test levels stay at 800 or did it decrease to baseline levels?

    Testosterone fluctuates greatly throughout the day so it's pretty hard to say if it was effective

    Took them for 6 months, and saw no increase in test, tho my SHBG went down about 30%. But noticed no change in mood or drive or libido what so ever. Great video.

      Such small changes in testosterone are not going to be noticeably impactful. If you’re already within the normal range, these supplements aren’t taking you out of that range. Even though 35% seems like a lot, our body already fluctuates by that amount daily for a lot of men and still puts you within the normal, typical range. To see actionable effects of any testosterone booster, you either need to have low testosterone or increase your normal amount by multiple times. Guys who abuse TRT are using up to 50+ times the natural levels.
