I noticed results in 3-4 weeks... but you have to remember - I wasn't looking for them. I sort of got slapped in the face with them. They may have presented earlier... and had I been aware of the potential changes I would have had an eyeball out for them.
I stopped taking carao for a few weeks (ran out) and upon getting my new shipment immediately "felt" that old carao feeling. Unfortunately, that is subjective. Many people report getting it... but we don't know what it is... and if it is an actual effect of carao.
Regarding doseage range... we don't know what optimal dosing is. Many people who have been on it the longest have played with lowering and lowering their dose with good results. I was taking it EOD and every third day for a while. I am now boosting my dose up to 2 tablespoons a day. (I'm in week 12 of a 16 week test cycle and have topped out on strength. I'm trying the higher dose to see if it lets me squeeze more value out of my test and winstrol. I was making juice gains right up until I ran out of carao.) I hate to say it but it will probably be another year or two before we knkow the best dose to take.
I haven't seen any difference taking it with or without food... or taking it any particular time of day.
Regarding refridgeration... I keep mine in the 'fridge... but I've left it open (top sealed) on the shelf for more than a month with no problem. I'm going to get a bacteria test done on it this month because I suspect it is like honey. I don't think bacteria can live in it. It also does not seem to ferment at all. The taste stays the same when you leave it out.
I'm not sure when I first noticed the woodies. I had read the aphrodisiac stuff in Costa Rican folklore and had totally dismissed it. I think I really started to take it more seriously when other people started to write to me about it... not when I saw it myself.
That said... congrats on getting your three big bottles. Carao is completely sold out. You got in just under the wire. If harvest comes late or is skimpy this year... one of us should try selling a bottle on Ebay.
