D-aspartic acid, does it really work (srs)

[dave_k88]

Does this amino acid really increase test levels or is it all a big hype?

theres a few studies, and blood work on here...........a simple search would reveal this.

DAA....The Next Holy Grail?

Its proven in real human studies to boost test. Now, weather or not it work is up to how the user manages their training and dieting.

Personally I suggest Testforce 2 by Epharm since it includes Sarcosine to further boost test by working directly at the receptor to further stimulate DAA's activity by blocking glycine reuptake and also functions as its own reuptake inhibitor.

I bought into the hype and got some extremely cheap DAA powder.

Ive done 2 ~6week runs. After a week or two my shoulders and especially my traps look noticeably bigger. Thats a very good sign, atleast to me. The one problem I have with it is that I get very lethargic about the gym toward the end of it.

Maybe your just training harder than what your used to and your stamina/endurance is wearing out by the latter end of your training.

[Bazza888]

DAA DOES raise your test levels but also creates an enzyme called arimatize that raises your estrogen to counteract the raise in test.
Taking an inhibitor with your DAA will counter act this enzyme and increase the benifits of your raised test.

I personally take a non competative inhibitor as so not cancel ALL my estrogen as i believe screwing with the natural is just asking for trouble.

[KimJong-il]

If your test goes up a couple hundred points and your estrogen goes up a little along with it, it wont be a big deal.

A massive increase in estrogen of course is bad, but estrogen is not evil and does play an important role in a males overall hormonal functions.

Hence the non competative inhibitor to not conteract ALL my estrogen levels only the unatural increase.

Yes, 3g will boost testosterone 42% in humans.

Not an exact science but around 30% + is the ball park

Could you name one or more of the 'non competitive inhibitor' supplements. Thanks.

Triazole..

[kfairhurst]

It surely works, but I'd recommend stacking it with an AI to potentiate the effects of DAA. DAA raises estrogen significantly as well as test.

6 week run? Never used, (don't see a point at my age) but I thought the recommended run was 3 weeks...

Wasn't this proven to be rather toxic in humans?

[KimJong-il]

At high levels its toxic, not at 3 grams a day. Its just going to be one of those highly debated topics on the boards to tell you the truth more research is always welcome.

There is research that DAA is bad for the brain, and then there is research that proves DAA can make you smarter.

[Amoney1986]

Worked well for me but like others said it raises estrogen and for me more than I would like. I will run again with an estrogen blocker next time.

[triplewhammy]

I just ordered Core TEST so depending on my results, I'll surely be an advocate.

[dave_k88]

so this DAA should be supplemented with an aromatose/estrogen inhibitor to counter the estrogen increase? Any recommendations?

[MustangManGT]

Triazole
PES Erase
SNS Inhibit-E

Only if you have any real concerns about estrogen. Im using Testforce 2 right now for a 2nd run and the only thing Im stacking is Ebol, Cbol and 1/2+ gallon soy milk a day.

[Archanic]

as has been said it will raise test, and estrogen as well, basically all your sex hormones. Thats not entirely a bad thing. But many people choose to run an AI with DAA.

DAA has been very well reviewed since it jumped on the scene oh about a year ago Id guess.

If I felt like running an AI with it, Id use PES Erase.

Triazole
PES Erase
SNS Inhibit-E

These^^ along with the new version PCT Assist , being that it contains L-dopa

Erase is a very flexible product, kinda like Triazole. Great for so many different things which makes me a big supporter. The new PCT Assist is very good as well, profile is very solid for what it's meant to do.

Little question, I bought some SNS DAA powder and Inhibit-E.

Taking Inhibit-E at 1 cap a day, is it safe to run the stack for 75 days?

[em-dubya]

I prefer to limit DAA to 45 days myself (especially with an AI)- maybe 60 but thats it



edit: If you run the DAA fo 60 days , then i would start the Inhibit E after week 3 or so

[Madevilz]

PA says you can run it for up to 3 months.
