I thought I had read a study where testosterone helped elevate IGF-1 levels somewhat by preventing some downregulation (maybe by reducing IGF-1BP levels?), but this seems to run counter to the study...
The question really never was answered. The only study posted showed that oral resveratrol had an extremely low bioavailability and that most of it was pissed out, but I don't know if this also...
I've actually been wondering whether oral trans-resveratrol is even bioavailable enough to make a significant difference at all. Anybody care to weigh in?
It seems that all of the drugs which prolong orgasms also lower libido. Is this because there is a related chemical mechanism involved with both events or are there any drugs/agents which prolong...
I've read through this entire post, and my opinion is in the middle. There was nothing illegal with CN indicating that they got advice from "Lee Crost, MD," given that Lee Crost apparently did...
This thread started out discussing whether sex was better after taking PEA, but most of the people commenting about the effects of PEA in this thread haven't mentioned sex. Has anyone who has taken...
IGF-1 promotes cell growth and decreases cell death. So, it does seem to make mutations (e.g., cancers) more likely. On the other hand, studies have shown that higher IGF-1 levels can allow people...
It's always good to question the methodologies of studies, but as I dig further into IGF-1 research, it seems inescapable that lower IGF-1 levels (or blocked IGF-1R) are statiscally linked to longer...
I was originally diagnosed 6 years ago and underwent treatment, at which point it went into remission. I had a distant metastasis 2 years ago and now I have another one. Staging for Ewing's is a...
Thanks. Having roamed this forum for years, I know that there are many sharp minds here with enough knowledge of biochemistry to be able to weigh in about IGF-1.
There has been much debate about the role of HGH and IGF-1 with respect to aging. Some studies show that IGF-1 seems to offer anti-aging effects, but many studies conducted in rodents show that...
If the problem does seem to be physical, you could always try a stack of arginine, tribulus, niacin, maca, yohimbe, and horny goat weed. If that doesn't get you going, you will definitely need to...
Many supplements are indeed a waste of time, but whey protein is not one of them. There are plenty of studies supporting the increased protein needs for building muscle. How much exactly is subject...
I've been consulting real doctors for years. The only problem with doctors is that they aren't usually comfortable with trying anything different--unless they're doing a clinical trial. The...
I know that many people try to enhance their human growth hormone (HGH) and IGF-1 levels to promote muscle growth, but I actually need to do the opposite. I'm 38, and I have Ewing's Sarcoma (a type...
I just read a 20-year old report by the Tobacco Producers of America saying that the studies about the harmful effects of cigarettes are all flawed. Should I start smoking again?
It can be mixed with creatine. Indeed, some supps have both in them. As for mixing in the blender, I can't imagine that you would have any problems with it, unless you have it in some wierd...
By the way, N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is one of the ingredients in 5-hour Energy. I don't know how much is in there, but it may account for some of its effectiveness. Just speculation, but perhaps...
