Bump. Come on Veeky Forums, give me your ethnopharmacological insights
Anthony Reed
For what?
I know pygeum works for increasing pre-cum, but I don't think you'll find much use as a fitness supplement.
Logan Thomas
tried eating raw garlic and it seems that it boosted my test levels
Angel Williams
I'd be pleasantly surprised to notice any effect from any of them, so my definition of working would be something like "does more than a placebo"
Christian White
It makes your breath smell for like the whole day tho. Brushing teeth doesn't help to get rid of it

There are more categories. It's a bit to go through, but they will do more than what I personally can provide at this time.
Jace Hall
I like ashawaganda
Adrian Garcia
what's it do for you?
Zachary Davis
Only teenagers make out. Real men suck Dick.

Ashwaganda works for me.
I notice a high pitch sound in my head the second I take it, so something is happening for sure.
And I get more boners, and workouts are better.
Cheap so why the fuck not.
Dylan Wood
it's a kind of transformational food to my knowledge
a company called sun potion makes some that comes in a blue bottle if i recall correctly
Dylan Gray
It calms me down. I've got some bad social anxiety and it mellows me out enough. I started taking it because my hair started thinning and shedding from what I believed was stress. Haven't seen a stop on that, but very little stress now. It also makes me horny as hell.
Sebastian Price
Collagen tablets
flax oils
saint johns wart
saw palmetto
dandelion root/leafs
Just beware of any pills you take that contain 'Calcium Carbonate' it's ground up sea shells and is an industrial filler that is allowed into food since it is listed as a food coloring agent and calcium supplement.
People often talk about fluoride and how bad it is for your bones but calcium carbonate is even more invasive. It turns your bones very brittle after prolonged use. It's in most cheap supplements
Ethan Wright
>a high pitch sound the second I take it
that sounds like a psychological thing rather than an actual drug effect

Epimedium - 24hr arousal, potentially pumping muscles
Theanine - study-proven alert sedation
Ashwaghanda - study-proven 30% reduction in Cortisol and 15% increase in Testosterone
L Arginine - supposedly helpful for erections
Peppermint oil (diffused application) - super erections
L Tryptophan - good mood effects / energy (produces serotonin, melatonin, and B3)
Ryan Long
great info, do you have a link to that ashwagandha study?
Angel Turner
>Which ones work
none
>which ones are bullshit
all of them
just roid if you want to cheat you fucking faggots, you will save money compared to all this worthless herbal shit spending $80 a month to increase your gains by 3% with placebo

I have some ashwagandha coming in tomorrow based off this, but the study in question (the one showing reduced cortisol, etc) has serious conflicts of interest and was performed in India.
Recent blood work showed I had extremely high C-reactive protein levels and I'm hoping this will help, but one questionable study isn't enough to be sure.
Matthew Lewis
Lol what?

Oh sweet my yard is full of dandelion roots and leaves, time for a motherfucking salad

Currently taking:
>Creatine
>Cocoa powder 500mg capsules
>Colostrum (500mg capsules)
>Biogrow (It is colostrum ill finish it when my current colostrum runs out)
>Vit C 500mg
>Vit D3 + K2 (1000IUx2)
>CoQ10
>Zinc (50mg but i cut them in half so only 25mg which is still fuckin loads)
>Amino Acid Pills 2222 (ON branded got them free as a promotional)
>Fish Oil (2g per day, 700-800 EPA/DHAs)
and of course whey protein etc, should i throw in a magnesium supp somewhere, currently taking a swisse mens multi but once it runs out im never supplementing a multi again, better to just supp what i need
Evan Martin
Talk to me about Epimedium, from a bit of googling around it kiiiinda sounds like bullshit but I'm still open to the idea
Sebastian Green
how much of that could just be replaced by a multivitamin?
Ayden Gray
>D3 + K2 doesnt come in this quantity in any multivitamin
>Vitamin C doesnt come in any multi in this quantity seeing as i use like 3g a day
>Zinc interferes with other mineral absorbtion as calcium and copper(?) share the same receptors
>Fish oil isnt in multis
>CoQ10 i got for free
>cocoa and pretty much everything else do not come in multis
there isnt much evidence supportive of multi vitamins doing anything, they are more costly per month (or anything given amount of time) than supplementing the ones i need eg vit D, K2, Zinc, and vit C

Valerian root is good for sleep. Don't take too much though, it will give you sort of a hangover.
I feel like st john's wort has helped my mood, and I'm generally more positive. I seem to have less drive to drink also.
Cissus helped me with some really painful tendonitis.

valerian for sleep (you relax and go into REM much faster, more restful sleep).
l-theanine for anxiety. l-theanine with caffeine is the best thing I have ever taken in my life. drug, supplement, beverage, food... l-theanine with caffeine is the best thing I have ever discovered.

what calcium supps should i take (if any) if i dont drink milk or any calcium rich food ?
Alexander Reed
Casein.

GET rid of the fishoil an replace with krill oil.
Fishoil is either rancid or ineffective or full of cheap shit if its in tablet form.
Krill oil is similar but has more protective properties meaning it possibly maintains its quality longer
The best for fish oil is fresh, or in those 60$ disgusting tasting liquid ones from the fridge at the pharmacy you have to gag down on a spoon and even then they go rancid pretty ez.
Ayden Reyes
Been taking pygeum for weeks to no effect.
Cum holy grail just didn't work for me sadly. Gonna keep up the Maca and citrulline for energy and boners respectively though
Colton Smith
Absolutely god tier vitamin to take is k12 as we dont get it anymore in our foods.
Mason Parker
Gotta try this. How much daily?
Can't you just swallow it in halves of cloves or something?
Xavier Phillips
