I really like DAA. It is cheap and it works!
Also, horny goat weed tea is pretty good!

Do you all have any favorites?

I personally think that 90% of the supplements out there are scams. A balanced diet is the way foreward. The only supplement I take is spirulina which is a naturally occuring amino acid supplement extracted from algae.

Well, I definitely noticed a difference when I started taking DAA. More frequent erections and bigger loads. Also, had a little bit more aggression...

In that case I might take alook at this product and buy it myself .

When you say it makes you aggressive what do you mean ?

Well, when I say it makes me a little aggressive, just small things like being more impatient with drivers and stuff like that. It also makes me want to hit the weights harder. But nothing like full on roid rage or anything like that. If you do decide to buy DAA, buy the powder. It is way more cost effective!

Thank for the advice I did some research on the internet.Read nothing but good things about this product. Just ordered the powder from amazon. Will see how the next 4-6 weeks go with training.

Cool, I hope it works well for you.

Let me know...

Creatine,

Been taking DAA for the last 3 days still early days will how things go over the next 2-3 weeks. You mentioned taking horny goat weed. Do you take this together with DAA ?.

Thanks

One other question I forgot to ask you about the DAA. Are you cycling it ? say for example 12 days of and 12 days on ?. To prevent any possible side effects ?

The literature out there is conflicting.

Personally, I use it for 2 months and then take a 1 month break.

I have not noticed any side effects yet.

If you wanna play it safe, try it for a month and then cycle off for a month.

Dont know whether its the DAA but I have had a hard on all night woke up this morning and I still have a hard on ! ;-)

That is a sign that it is working! I noticed that too.

Last night I had some extremely vivid dreams must be the DAA.

This morning at the gym I was constantly challenging myself to lift more weights and pushing myself to the edge of exhaustion. By the time I had left the gym I needed a second breakfast because I was so hungry after the workout.

Hm. I'm not an expert on supplements by any means other than some basic ones used in weight lifting, but I'm not sure if getting juiced on this kind of stuff is good in the long run. I think your body eventually adapts to stuff like this and you'll need more and more....kind of like the effects of porn.

I'm always weary of taking too many pills. It reminds me too much of diet pills when fat girls think that taking some pills is a replacement for working out and eating well. I'm not a big fan of taking shortcuts of any kind - I think you always pay for it somehow later.

You have made a fair point. This is exactly the reason why I do my research thoroughly before investing in a product and I always cycle what I take for example 12 days on 12 days off or a month on and a month off.

I agree with Baller. Personally I would never take any hormones, unless prescribed as therapy for a medical condition. I'm not sure what you are taking ... but I'd be very careful. From what I understand these boosters are placebos. However, there's no such thing as taking only one hormone or it's precursor, practically all hormones of the human body are interconnected via feedback loops, so externally adding an amount of one hormone will inhibit and generate a deficit in another hormone. Apart from that a chronic excessive hormone level can lead to autonomy of the hormone producing gland. You're basically messing with a balanced system that's designed to regulate itself.

Also cycling in weeks or months on and off won't prevent you from doing harm to yourself. Most hormones have an immediate effect on your metabolism (blood pressure, hunger, energy, immune response) while also having a long term effect (bone density, muscle mass, fat distribution, size of your heart ...even emotional).

A good indicator is always is the stuff I'm taking FDA approved or am I ordering it online from the czech republic or romania?

Yeah, D Aspartic Acid is not a hormone or prohormone. It is just a mild testosterone booster. Been taking it on and off for 6 months and no side effects. Also, took a testosterone test and my levels came back normal. Also, it is FDA approved.

I appreciate your concern. As CreatineDreams says the supplement is safe and its not hormone or prohormone.

Its been a week taking DAA now and I feel alot more mentally alert.

Feel alot more aggressive in the gym in fact theres some days I want to train twice in a one day. In nearly a week I am pushing 10 KG more. Feel alittle more angry but I find myself channeling that anger energy into lifting heavier weights and chatting to girls.

Will keep you all posted.

Don´t want to bust a bubble here but Test Booster are a complete waste of money and only effective because of the placebo effect. I work in a gym part time and have researched this extensively.
Basically every compound that would increase you´re Test also lowers it. Now let me explain. In you´re body there is a regulatory system that is called the HPTA. The Hypothalamus-Pituary-Testicular-Axis. It is responsible for the production of Testosterone. So if you take a Test Booster and actually achieve in increase in Testosterone (even that is debated, because for most herbal compounds you´d have to use humongous doses) you´re Hypothalamus registers this within a 2-3 days and gives the Testes a signal that says: "Stop producing Testosterone! We are getting it from outside no need to waste energy here!" Secondly you have a hormon in you´re body that is called SHBG. Sex-Hormone-Binding-Globolin. Without getting to geeky here, it is responsible for binding on to Testosterne to make it much less effective. And it does that to every Testosterone molecule that sort of doesn´t get used straight away.
So to sum it up: Even if those supps would increase test naturally (which they don´t or else we would have an alternative for steroids!), they would mess up you´re hormone system. Plus you´re body has hormones that bind to Testosterone that is over the normal range to regulate the bodies functions as it always seeks homeostasis.
If anyone is interested I´ll post a sort of alternative though. No I wont be selling you anything.

Matt theres scientific evidence to show otherwise check this link,

D-Aspartic acid is becoming a very popular supplement in the sports nutrition marketplace. For many years research had been piling up showing that it serves a key neurochemical role in the regulation of testosterone production, as well as the production of other hormones such as growth hormone and thyroid hormone. Then about a year ago a study was published in Italy showing that the amino acid indeed has the ability to raise testosterone in humans, and shortly thereafter many d-aspartic acid products hit the market in the United States.

Some new research appears to indicate that in addition to its effects on hormone regulation d-aspartic acid may be involved in the process of learning and memory. Researchers separated some rats into two groups with the first group receiving a d-aspartic acid solution (as sodium d-aspartate) and the second group receiving a simple saline solution. These solutions were consumed over the course of 12-16 days. After that time the researchers tested the rats using something called the Morris water maze test. In this test they throw the rats in a pool that has a resting platform just under the surface of the water in a designated spot in the pool. The rats swim around until they find this platform. The rats are then allowed to rest for a period of time and then the researchers throw the rats in again and observe how quickly they are able to re-find the resting platform. This is done several times. The researchers also change the platform around a few times just to make sure the rats aren’t finding it by coincidence, and also because the researchers get off on torturing the rats. This funny little test is considered to be a measure of memory and spatial cognitive ability.

Sure enough, the rats that drank the d-aspartic acid solution performed considerably better than the control rats. It was found that the d-aspartic acid rats had levels of d-aspartic acid in the hippocampus 2.5 times that of the control rats. The hippocampus is a part of the limbic system of the brain and it is vital in the formation of memories and in spatial navigation, so it’s functioning has obvious relevance in this water maze test. Furthermore, researchers grabbed 20 or so randomly selected rats and threw them into the pool (without any d-aspartic acid treatment). After cutting them up they discovered that the rats that had the highest natural d-aspartic acid concentration in the hippocampus also performed best on the test.

All this data represents intriguing evidence that d-aspartic acid might serve an integral role in learning and memory formation, and hints at the possibility of d-aspartic acid being exploited as a natural cognitive enhancing supplement. Based on the information provided in the study, a human equivalency dose is calculated to come out to be around 2-2.5 grams a day (most d-aspartic supplements provide around 3 grams a day.)

So does d-aspartic acid have a cognitive enhancement effect on humans? A carefully controlled study would be needed to answer that question for sure, but right now feedback from users of my d-aspartic acid product (E-Pharm Testforce2) seems to indicate a subjective “brain boosting” effect. Hopefully some more research into this intriguing aspect of d-aspartic acid will be undertaken and more papers will be published in the future

This is the actual study. This does not give any indication whether DAA would cause an increase in bioavailable testosterone. Going from that study to saying "you can get more muscle" or whatever other effect would be a huge mistake.

Agreed. Plus Patrick Arnold is infact the owner or shareholder of many supp-companies and has an interset in promoting test Boosters.

Well Matt you obviously know more about this subject then I do . Thanks for bringing these facts to my attention.

Those of you interested in testosterone supplements - why do you want to boost your testosterone levels? Is this just a matter of weight lifting?

Take Organic Red Maca Root powder. It doesn't necessarily increase your testosterone but it will significantly boost your libido and give you lots of energy. Don't buy the pills, buy the straight powder. I buy mine from Nuts.com or WholeFoods, but WholeFoods is a ripoff. Nuts.com is 9$ wholefoods is $24
