    I have a few bottles of piping rock stuff...main ingredient is 500mg Yohimbine...I find the yohimbine hit or miss and it can cause ++anxiety. Some people report that doses of 20-40mg are effective. It does create a stir down there..lol...but sometimes the anxiousness will steal the moment...

    Libido Supplements

    I have posted on this board in the past regarding TRT and libido. I had briefly dabbled with self prescribed TRT a few years back.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
