Libido Supplements

[CanadaJim]

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. It was initially amazing (honeymoon) with regards to energy and libido but that quickly paled in the face of the negative sides I experienced. I ultimately stopped and since that time have been struggling to regain a healthy libido. I am 55, in decent shape, eat healthy, married to a beautiful woman. I've been to my doctor numerous times with no resolve. My last testosterone level was in the high range which was puzzling because as of that time I had been off testosterone for several months, and my overall feeling was as if i had no testosterone at all. Over this past summer, while on vacation there were a few occasions when my libido literally soared. This was curious to me as I was doing nothing different. I have always found that after being in the sun, especially on the beach our libido (my wife and i both) really spikes so I chalked it up to that. The decline is so notable and now here i am, several months later and things are in the basement.
I'm grasping here but i recently added some supplements to my daily vitamin regime. KSM-66 (650mg), Fenugreek 500mg, Tribulus (1500mg), along with a daily men's multi (50+), vitamine D (4,000IU), Vitamine E (400mg)...it's been only 3 weeks since i added the KSM and Fenugreek and only a week since i added the Trib....i know they may be bogus but I'm willing to try...anything else anyone can think of? Much appreciated

It is typical for libido to turn on during a vacation because you have less stress and no work to do but go out and have sex. Libido is an integrative measure of nutrition, health, and lack of stress.

There are no proven drugs or supplements that increase libido for everyone.

The only supplement I've found that helps is mucuna. I use it as needed and never daily. It bumps up your dopamine levels which can help, but if used too much may create issues.

What form and dosage?

 

[bixt]

Test prop 15mg daily, Do a google search for "reddit prop libido". This protocol is within the realm of true TRT, fluctuation and all.

Now if that doesnt work then also add in a proviron tablet or half a winstrol in the AM. Definitely not TRT, but if you have simply tried everything and have nothing left to lose then try this.

 

[CKO]

Now Brand Dopa Mucuna 2 pills.

After observing this topic for many years, here are some ideas..

- Some people find DHT-based compounds to be very pro-libido, proviron and masteron being the two primary compounds in this regard, so a low dose of one of those seems logical but might ultimately require being on TRT (moreso for masteron). For me the DHTs do nothing, at least in small/medium doses, but you might be in the other category.
- Sunshine is a clue that for you the melanocortin system is involved so Melanotan II in small doses would also be worth an extended try.
- For some people PDE5 inhibitors (viagra, etc.) have a pro-libido effect.
- Pure testosterone might be worth a try (TNE or Testosterone suspension) as it might work on an as-needed basis.
- Check your estrogen. Men need estrogen too, just not as much as women and low estrogen could kill your libido
- Pheromones are an underappreciated thing, so having your wife try the MTII and possibly testosterone or estrogen if she is willing could be a big factor as well. There was a sad thread on here awhile back about women losing their attraction for their husbands after a vasectomy so the reverse (with a different mechanism of course ) could also be true.
- Lastly, some people report higher libido from trenbolone or Nandrolone, so a small dose could offer clues as well. Probably not something to be on continuously, but perhaps it could be used intermittently.

Anyone knows what is the stuff from China herbs I believe that looks like soft hashish, comes in little balls, you take a small piece of it, tastes a bit like dried plum or something and in 20mins pretty much the dowside department blows up and all you want to do is chop, chop, chop lol I remember giving it to my mates so they all wanted to buy boxes afterthat lol It was unbelievable stuff fwiw, def would like to get it again. FWIW uncomparable to all the viagras, cialis and kamagras I've tried. Like night and day, plus never got high bp from them. Absolutely unreal stuff

“Dragon Balls” worked well in the past… too well - which means they were spiked with PDE-5 inhibitors. They got pulled off the shelves several years ago.

Any source? Still can't find anything online that looked the same or similar to what I had.

There's a store in my town..sells the otc pills with names like Rhino...Porn star...etc...Health Canada keeps pulling them but they always come back under a different name...I do wish a person could find an actual herb than was effective but it seems big pharma will never let that happen

But man that stuff was fire, i couldnt sit more then 20 mins after eating it and wanted to get to action lol all my mates that tried wanted to buy in damn boxes haha

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...

 

[CanadaJim]

I have a Yohimbine question. The product I have are powder filled capsules with 500mg yohimbine. I copied the ingredient label...

Yohimbe (Pausinystalia yohimbe) (bark) (from 125 mg of 4:1 Extract)	500 mg

My question is how much active ingredient is in the capsule? 500mg seems way too high, especially when when you read articles suggesting an effective dose is 14 - 22mg. There are some products that state they have 2200mg a capsule....

[sammmy]

The capsule is 125mg bark extract that is equivalent to 4x125mg = 500mg dry bark. The amount of pure yohimbine would be lower than 125mg, since the extract draws out other stuff too from the bark.

Sunshine increases vitamin D which also affects dopamine.
