To young guns: I haven't experienced any of the side effects some people feel with e/c or n/c products, but then again, I have a pretty high tolerance, so I'm probably not the best person to ask about the side effects. Thermics does contain yohimbe but again, I have a high tolerance for...

Props to Bill Llwellyn. I have been pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of Thermics - not because of any concern about the quality of Molecular Nutrtion products, but because until Thermics, I had yet to find a non- e/c or non-n/c fat loss product that at a minimum, is just as effective.

I suggest taking at least 5 -10 days off to recover, while simultaneously using a decent garlic/echinacea/ goldenseal supplement twice a day (I found a quality version at swansonvitamins.com) to boost your immune system. You also may want to consider using an adaptagen such as Rhodiola Rosea...

Without entering into a debate about the virtues of legal prohormones/prosteroids vs. illegal steroids (you must use your own mind and judgment about these things since there are often, but not always, a lot of uniformed biases and other agendas that enter into the "they don't work but will...

Although Biotest has ceased manufacturing MD6, there are quite a few online supplement websites that have it in stock at very good prices. To find one, simply search for "Biotest's MD6" using the google.com search engine. As an alternative, she may want to try stacking the 5mg yohimbine HCL...

Nope, because it'll simply distract folks from the purpose of my post, which is to share my ongoing experience with something that isn't widely discussed on these boards - hormone manipulation using non-steroid products as a potentially legitimate means to change body composition and to increase...

Actually, the anti-estrogen compounds I'm using fall into three broad categories: 1) Those that are purported to inhibit the enzymes which are needed to activate bound estrogen and inhibit testosterone conversion; 2) Those that are purported to block estrogen at the receptors; and 3) Those...

This may be useful for folks who are curious about alternative protocols for changing body composition and/or gaining strength without additional size... In 11 days, with no changes in training or diet, I've lost an inch and one-half around my waist using a tribulus product, a combo product...

Thanks for the responses. Shoichi, I'm curious as to what may have precipitated the soft tissue build-up in your breasts - does the Androplex have prohormone compounds ending in "dione?" If so, this would provide a plausible explanation but if not, then the soft tissue build-up defies any...

Has anyone had any positive results with regard to strength or body composition changes using only anti-estrogen supplements (i.e, supplements containing calcium d-glucarate, DIM, chrysin, vitex, etc, or some combination...) in combination with natural testosterone boosters such as tribulus or...

High insulin levels negate the positive effect of yohimbine on the A2 receptors, which are predominant in thigh and hip areas of women, and in the abdomen of men. Taking yohimbine products on an empty stomach is preferable, so timing dosages at least 90 minutes after meals containg carbs, but...

It's worked quite well for me and one other person I know. To optimize the effect of the yohimbine HCL component, time your intake to correspond with low insulin levels.

Jacob, check your private messages...

As little as 15 - 20 mg of yohimbine orally, split over 3 dosages, can be effective provided you time your dosages to take advantage of low insulin levels. 20 - 30 mg/day is probably the optimum dose for most folks. IMHO, once you exceed 50 or 60 mg/day orally, the law of diminishing returns...

Only if the drug test includes testing for ephedra and ephedra alkaloids (e.g., 1R, 2S-norephedrine).
