05-29-2010, 08:23 AM #2Since androgenic effect is attributable to testosterone levels in the blood, it is likely that the plant extracts may have a role in testosterone secretion allowing better availability of hormone to gonads [3].
I'm having a hard time understanding why testosterone concentrations were not evaluated.
while a moderate but insignificant increase in prostate weight was also observed.
An increase in PEI was observed in treated groups, indicating the involvement of nitrous oxide (NO) based intervention [19].Last edited by NO HYPE; 05-29-2010 at 05:40 PM.

Wherever progression lacks.... regress can be found in abundance.

It's been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to boost sex drive and fertility but the sides are there, at least theorethically. Not yet sure if I would mess with it.
To be fair, most spices are very irritant when taken in high doses.
Granted, the pronunced anabolic effect is intriguing to say the least...Last edited by THEHUGE; 05-30-2010 at 03:46 AM.

No ulcerations reported, maybe I've been jumping to conclusions too early.Last edited by THEHUGE; 05-30-2010 at 06:44 AM.

Ashwagandha, Shilajit(not exactly an herb), Asparagus Racemosus to name a few. They all incresed my energy level, sense of well being, appetite and libido. The Asparagus made me gain 3 lbs on a isocaloric diet in 4 weeks. I used this one:

I know, it's advertised as a female tonic but it's proven to increase spermatogenesis and to possess an anabolic effect in male animals. It's also been used for centuries as a male rejuvenator.Last edited by THEHUGE; 06-01-2010 at 07:16 AM.

anabolic effect is pretty vague. mind elaborating?
Also, isocaloric diet? were you in a surplus or deficit? I've never been a fan of isocaloric. I suppose it doesnt matter as long as you're getting enough protein and EFA's, but do you think that contributed to your weight gain?I can do amazing things for your body composition. PM for more info.

My bad, when I wrote isocaloric I actually meant maintenance calories...
This is what I mean when I say anabolic:
A comparative study on aphrodisiac activity of some ayurvedic herbs in male albino rats.

Abstract
The roots of Asparagus racemosus, Chlorophytum borivilianum, and rhizomes of Curculigo orchioides are popular for their aphrodisiac and immunostimulatory properties. The herbs have been traditionally used as Vajikaran Rasayana herbs because of their putative positive influence on sexual performance in humans. Lyophilized aqueous extracts obtained from the roots of A. racemosus, C. borivilianum, and rhizomes of C. orchioides were studied for sexual behavior effects in male albino rats and compared with untreated control group animals (total N = 60). The rats were evaluated for effect of treatments on anabolic effect. Seven measures of sexual behavior were evaluated. Administration of 200 mg/kg body weight of the aqueous extracts had pronounced anabolic effect in treated animals as evidenced by weight gains in the body and reproductive organs. There was a significant variation in the sexual behavior of animals as reflected by reduction of mount latency, ejaculation latency, post ejaculatory latency, intromission latency, and an increase of mount frequency. Penile erection (indicated by Penile Erection Index) was also considerably enhanced. Reduced hesitation time (an indicator of attraction towards female in treated rats) also indicated an improvement in sexual behavior of extract treated animals. The observed effects appear to be attributable to the testosterone-like effects of the extracts. Nitric oxide based intervention may also be involved as observable from the improved penile erection. The present results, therefore, support the folklore claim for the usefulness of these herbs and provide a scientific basis for their purported traditional usage.Olympus Labs/Lyfestyle Research & Development (R&D) Director
