Opinions (and research) seem to change often with regards to this, a bit like the old "butter is bad for you / butter is good for you" etc etc. I'm pretty sure omega 3 supplements have been shown to reduce triglycerides though, unless that's now changed...

I prefer an indica dominant strain (vaped) before bed, helps me sleep

What caused you to stop using it before though Nelson?

I've been takung 450mg daily for roughly 2 months. Unfortunately i've noticed no difference in my aches and pains whatsoever, or any other effects.

Panax ginseng, ginkgo biloba, tongkat ali, dhea. Also, yohimbe (the herb, not yohimbine), has a very strong pro sexual effect on me, but also causes me anxiety. The ultimate libido enhancer would be ghb, but good luck getting that nowadays (ghb and yohimbe herb combined give me an almost...

80%, not good....

Agmatine ameliorates atherosclerosis progression and endothelial dysfunction in high cholesterol-fed rabbits https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259605685_Agmatine_ameliorates_atherosclerosis_progression_and_endothelial_dysfunction_in_high_cholesterol-fed_rabbits An old study, and it's in...

Not sure if this is legal where you are in the world, but the drug GHB can have an amazing affect on libido. I'm in the UK, so it's illegal here now, but it didn't used to be. Back in the late 90's, me and my wife (before we got married and she still had a libido) would nearly always take GHB...

Having lived with a wife who (apparently) has 'low libido' now for many years, i'm of the opinion that, unless they say they're distressed by it, and are actively trying to correct the problem - then it's probably not a problem with them. They just have no libido for their partner. Just my...

Nizoral shampoo maybe? I've used it for years as i used to get psoriasis in my scalp, but i still use it now as it's supposed to help with hair loss (mind you, i still shave my head regardless). Not sure if it's helped preserve my hair, but i've got more hair than either of my two brothers so...

Typical - i woke up today with an unbelievably painful lower back, and i thought "i'll have a quick look at the pain management section on excelmale to see if there's anything i might find useful". Latest post, back pain and agmatine! Unfortunately, i'm taking agmatine daily already, and have...

Same - when my total t was at the bottom of the 200's, my libido was still very high

Where i DID have the hair removed by laser, it's never grown back.

Now that's odd - i was told back when i had some done that it was permanent as it kills the individual folicles. But i've just googled the question, and even the NHS say it only lasts a few weeks. If that's actually the case, then it's about the same as for waxing, which is much cheaper, less...

Yes it definitely works, but i think if you have a large area like the back to do, it'll end up being very expensive (unless the technology's improved, it was a long time ago i had some done). I can imagine for for conditions like PCOS though, it would be ideal.

I had it done on my back hair, probably 25 years ago. I was told that it would take three treatments to fully remove the hair, as the folicles grow at different rates. So i paid upfront for three sessions, if i remember correctly that cost me £200. What wasn't made very clear to me though, was...

Did you notice that post was over 3 years ago?

If you're having issues with the various organic magnesium supplements, you may as well try magnesium oxide. Contrary to popular belief, it performs as well if not better than most of the expensive formulas, and provides higher elemental magnesium, gram for gram -...

Just found this and thought it was interesting - maybe drinking lots of black tea for its theophylline content could help reduce hct levels? https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199007123230203

Lol, yeah i saw a couple of proper ones and they really are a LOT dearer.

Having read reviews on a couple of devices, they don't look that reliable....

Has anyone here used an at home HCT tester? If so, did you find the results as acurate as having blood drawn and tested by a lab? Just found this one on Amazon, i think at around £40 it would be worth having so long as they're accurate...

OK, well this study completely contradicts the one above and says that eating with raised melatonin levels can lead to type 2 diabetes. A quote from the study - "In this Timing Model, low melatonin (during eating) supports high glucose tolerance, while high melatonin (during fasting) would...

Do you take melatonin near meal times?

Yeah they've got a good reputation, and their range of products is good (i like alternating magnesium types and i'm currently using their magnesium malate). I'm in the UK too by the way, and i've found it's still cheaper to buy from them even though they're USA based. As to other benefits from...

Not sure where Nelson gets his gummies from, but i've always liked Piping Rock's range of melatonin (and dhea for that matter). The last few orders from them i bought their own brand regular 3mg pills, chew a couple up, hold them under the tongue for a couple of minutes before swallowing. Any...

I literally only stopped my previous 20 year nightly usage of melatonin as i'd read on a blog (suppversity.com) that you shouldn't take it anywhere near meals due to the supposed temporary insulin resistance it causes. But since stopping, i've had minor colds, sore throat etc, something i hadn't...

@Vince Vince, i know you've studied melatonin a lot, do you know of any conclusive evidence around melatonin and meal timing?

I stopped taking melatonin before bed as i eat my evening meal fairly late and i'd read that melatonin impairs insulin sensitivity. But i've just found this study and (to me at least), it seems to claim the opposite. Am i missing something here? I always liked using melatonin as i felt it...

Bit late to this thread but thought i'd comment anyhow. The insulin sensitivity issue is why i stopped taking melatonin before bed - i fast during the day, and eat my last (2nd) meal around 9pm. I used to take 3 to 6mg after that before going to bed, and stopped after reading melatonin's affect...

I'm curious what lab you're using - i'm using Southern Ghost, very popular at the moment in the UK
