D-Aspartic Acid-bogus or worth it?

[miridel]

Can I get a few posts maybe on your experiences with this new stuff?

Does it have any effect or not?

I`m looking for strength gains,as always.

Is it another hoax(it seems everything can boost testosterone these days-according to supplement companies) or what?

I`m really on a tight budget,as is everybody in these bad times,so I really don`t want to be throwing money away.

all DAA did for me was a libido boost around day 4. Not much strength or size gains that were out of the normal. But look into AI's DAA its like $23 for a 100 day supply.

[Hansolo261]

Give it a shot DAA can be found as low as 10 bucks. I've had good and bad results with this but I'm being to think it come down to what u stack it with

[BigBoLuke93]

DAA isn't really new.. it's been around for awhile now. There are studies backing backing it's effectiveness, so take that for what you will.

Also like others have said, it's pretty cheap to pick up bulk DAA

You dont need to stack it with anything else, but a lot of people also run estrogen blockers with DAA (triazole, Erase ,etc...) but i personally dont like taking 2 new products at once. I like to know what results i get from each product 1st.

[WoopItsKevin]

I personally suggest taking DAA as a test booster. I get it in my Anabolic Freak and I could really tell the difference in pumps, strength, and energy in the gym.

Lg's forma x is well priced

I keep reading DAA raises Estrogen just as much as Testosterone. Why would you take it alone?

AF is wicked indeed, pretty pricey though

[Socalchoirboy]

people who take test boosters, daa, etc will see minimal benefits from it. If you're really trying to increase muscle mass by raising hormone levels, just go on a freaking cycle.

My man Hans speaks the truth. Formx is well priced and just as potent, as far as it being worth it? There wouldnt be a patent being questioned if it wasnt :P

Increased energy levels, muscle hardness, libido increase and increased production in the gym is well worth ten buck or so. Not to mention you keep what u gain.

[TheShreddedOne]

It's proven to work but understand that a 42% increase is a raindrop in the ocean. So just be realistic in what your expecting OP.

Well of course its not the same as trt but it does help when used properly

one of my friends took DAA, He told me he's happy with that, I think he can try it.

[Welby55]

Anabolic freak and test freak are amazing. I am currently on a cycle of both. I am seeing great gains. Yes it is prices.... But as hundreds of people have said on these forums..... You get what you pay for!!!! Then again ther is many people on these forums that talk bad about hundreds of supps they have never tried!!! But these ones I have and they have worked great for me

I'd say give it a whirl and I don't say that very often when someone mentions being on a tight budget. You can find DAA seriously cheap if you look, so price shouldn't keep you from trying it. 30 days at 3 grams can be found for like ten bucks

age doesn't constitute knowledge, plus I'm speaking in context of muscle growth, not overall health. Yes, they're beneficial for older age groups (much more-so than others); for the majority of the members on this website, though, the benefits are minimal.

very true; there are a few websites, but we can't talk about that here

[miridel]

Thank you all very much,I have read all your posts carefully,thank you for your effort.

Sounds good,I`m gonna give it a try.

This Anabolic Freak looks very appealing but I don`t know if I will pay such a high price or go for the 185 grams of Youth Addict`s bulk DAA.

You get what you pay for,in some cases,but in others,that is not true,so I don`t know.

[Dewey99]

Just get a tub of Primaforce bulk DAA for about $10 as others have mentioned. If it helps a little, then you come out ahead.

Something you dont have.

This article sums it up

D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) has been getting a lot of press lately, mostly due to a swarm of emerging nutritional supplements that contain it, and an article published by Muscular Development (that was published simultaneously as an advertiser began carrying the ingredient). It’s being heavily marketed by several people, including the owner of SDI-Labs (Daniel Amato), a scam company that sells steroid-sound-a-like products…only this time he’s marketing it under a the banner of another company called “Muscle Warfare” in a product called NMDA. DAA1

D-aspartic acid is an amino acid present in neuroendocrine tissues of humans, playing a role in the synthesis of both LH and testosterone. LH, of course, is secreted in a pulsatile fashion, thereby signaling the release of testosterone from the testes. D-aspartic acid is synthesized when aspartate racemase converts L-aspartic acid into D-aspartic acid. This conversion occurs in the testes as well as other tissues throughout the human body.

Supplementation with 3 grams (3,000mgs) per day, orally, resulted in a 33% testosterone elevation. The amount of DAA in Muscle Warfare’s product is less than 35 milligrams, or, roughly 1/100th of the effective dose. TST PowerCell is another supplement that contains this ingredient, this time at less than 600mgs/capsule, roughly 1/5th of an effective dose.

But the real problem is that even an effective dose of this stuff only raises testosterone by 33% – hardly enough to feel a real boost in training or see any results in the mirror. And from a practical point of view, most products that we’re about to see flooding the market with this ingredient, aren’t going to be using an effective dose. Do you know how big a 1,000mg capsule is? It’s huge. And you can’t fit too many other ingredients in there – so most people, like our friend Daniel Amato, are going to use a dose that has no effect.

And because you need so much of the stuff, we’re not going to see it being used as a worthwhile ingredient in any commercially available product. It just takes up too much space in the capsule, or necessitates taking 6-12 caps per day. In practical terms, it’s just unusable.

As far as testosterone boosters go, DAA is a real loser – you need to take a ton and it hardly elevates testosterone. As a testosterone booster, it really, really sucks. I can’t recommend it too highly, but a month’s supply is only going to run you about $25. If you’re dead set on trying it, ***********.com carries it for about $25 for 100g, while **********.com carries it at the same price for 80g.

There may be some potential for this stuff in (maybe) some kind of post-workout beverage, I guess – maybe it could be combined with Pepto-Pro and whey, or included in some kind of glutamine/creatine/NO concoction, or whatever. It may not be the worst idea in the world to dump a few hundred grams into a container of SuperPump or something like that….I don’t know.

Maybe it’s good for something. Maybe. Have I mentioned that it really sucks as a test booster? Just making sure.

Test force 2 is a small scoop

Sns daa is 4 small pills

Mixed with glutamine or peptopro? Lol wut.

Looks like D-Aspartic Acid is crap

[snorkelman]

As I do with all of these test booster threads, OP, I encourage you to get a blood panel for testosterone before you start supplementing with any testosterone booster. That way, later on, after taking a test booster for a while, you can get another blood test and see if your testosterone in fact was elevated to clinically relevant levels.

[Hyruliangoat]

Ill let you make that decision on your own

Ahh, ^^ the only human (in vivo) study on the effects of D-Asp on the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone. Sadly, this 12-day study failed to look at body comp or gym performance. Also, we have no clue what the "free" testosterone measurements were.

Personally, I will wait to see that ^^ study replicated, or otherwise followed with other human trials. As for the bros saying it is only $10, what do you have to lose...as Hyruliangoat posted the only study done on humans so far, we have no idea what the impact on safety is beyond 12 days.

[namean]

DAA is great

Like everyone said $10 is worth a shot. Personally I like it but I'm not 17 anymore either. I tend to like to stack it with an AI like erase or formastanzol. Of course if you do stack it you $10 argument is out the window. Lol
