is that good?
So this is very risky at high dosages.Androgen disruption and toxicity tests of Butea superba Roxb., a traditional herb used for treatment of erectile dysfunction, in male rats - PubMed
Subchronic treatment of B. superba tuberous powder suspension at high doses in male rats exhibited adverse effects to blood chemistry, haematology, and blood testosterone level. The results of the study should initiate awareness of the possible adverse risk of over-dose consumption of B. superba...
Not really but studies are controversial. One man who reported increased libido was found to have decreased testosterone but significantly increased DHT levels. That's just one reported case tho. Another study on rats found no significant changes whatsoever
So it's a wildcard then. I guess i'm the guinea pig for everyone here
At the end of the day, it's still just a natural herb that has been used traditionally for erectile dysfunction and other problems for centuries
Many teencels here have high T to begin with but shitty androgen response to it. If you're low T and high DHT, then butea won't have any effect, simply because testosterone is needed to be converted through 5 alpha reductase to DHT, meaning you need testosterone to have DHT production for later
Damn probably should've checked my T levels. I mean i'm pretty sure I'm fine though. I mean if it was low my doc would've said something about it during a blood test.
What you're saying makes no sense. What exactly do you mean by "shitty androgen response"? Also, high total T means nothing, it's free T that matters because SHBG makes a large proportion of total T unavailable for androgen receptors
Free T is responsible for libido and benefits of testosterone overall, i said my libido crashed but i'm STILL getting the benefits cause i kinda wanted to 'agree' with your statement that studies are contraversal.
Oh you know it's predetermined in womb if you're going to have good androgen receptors, let's say voice - You can't change it if your androgen receptors (particulary) in that area are shit. No amounts of exogenous DHT exposure will have an impact, or it'll have very minor impact atleast
WHO the fuck talks about SHBG?? Yeah like it increases as you get older, either way it's gonna be OBVIOUS for you that you are low T, and that you want to get it checked. Teencels (High T individuals) shouldn't worry about this shit dumbass. Keep projecting your stupidity cause SHBG matters as you get older, and it's useless getting DHT benefits past 25 lol. Almost if not everyone here have normal SHBG unless they're oldcels
Wouldn’t that be from increased conversion to DHT?
Bs. Increased levels of androgens UPREGULATE androgen receptors. The issue with supraphysiological levels of androgens is not ARs but myostatin - myostatin also increases, which inhibits protein synthesis
Yes, most likely. But it's still questionable whether this was the result of BS supplementation or just his body doing what it would be doing anyways. And then again, that's just one reported case
