Please as others have mentioned review claims about the toxic nature of fadogia. So many people are buying the supplement after watching your video and then dumping it after seeing other videos.

A very honest and comprehensive review! That's a subscription from me

Thank you brother for sharing, I just subscribed to your channel-for your Decency and Honest in sharing your results .

I’ll offer a tip. I’m in my 50’s. At age 45 my test was at 250. I’m in my 50’s with my test ranging from 850-950 now. Step one get below 14% body fat. You may lose mass on a diet, do it anyways, get it over with. Step 2 is get blood work and look at the following: vitamin D level, DHEA, pronegolone, magnesium, calcium level, SHBG, and kidney function. My Vitamin D was 8, now it’s 80. I took 20k iu a day for two years to get it up there. Vitamin D3 is the most important vitamin/hormone. You have to get it checked. Don’t just pop D3, get it tested. That way you can gauge how much you need. 5K iu a day won’t do anything if you are low. It’s fat soluble so it takes ages to get your level up. DHEA and pronegolone are precursors to testosterone. If it’s low and you are young you need more sleep. If you are over 40 buy both on Amazon and take before bed I take 200 mg each and my estrogen is perfect. Take calm magnesium citrate powder before bed for GH production. Thing is and remember it, boosters will not do anything for you if you have nothing to make testosterone out of. Sleep! Get your sleep in. When you hit the gym you must bring intensity. No long rests, no messing with your phone, you must focus on every rep to beat the hell out of you. If you walk out of the gym on leg day like you walked into it, you are not doing anything. I look drunk walking out of the gym on leg day. After I do forearms I can barely open my car door. That raises testosterone as well. That is intensity. And train your forearms. I never see anyone doing that. If you suck at pull ups you’re neglecting forearms. Any sets I do on upper arms I do forearms.

@@emmanuellapascalepaul4609 Vitamin D is more of a hormone than it is a vitamin. D3 helps the body convert precursors to hormones. If you are low in vitamin D it can help raise testosterone in women. Won’t be as much as men obviously. But it goes beyond just testosterone. If affects other hormones in the body and your immune system. I have not had a cold in years. But you need to test your levels and if you mega dose D3 you need to take K2 to hep prevent the body accumulating calcium in the blood and it’s a good idea to check blood calcium and kidney function. Before all of that get below 14% body fat. Be aware if you are dieting your testosterone will lower. Low carb diets lower testosterone. I cannot state this as much as I can. Lift with intensity and keep rest periods to a minute in the gym. You do not leave the gym until your body says “I’m done”. It’s that stress on the body that kicks it in to overdrive. Look around your gym. Look at the people in there that look absolutely the same month after month. Then look how the people who look better train. Short rest periods and lots of volume. When you are training right you’ll be doing 3 sets to everyone else’s set of one. Keep workouts under 30 minutes max. Some people complain about long distance runners having small legs, yet train in the gym for a marathon. Train like a sprinter. In and out of the gym. First five sets one minute breaks to hit your strength markers, then isolation exercises or other compound exercises with 30-45 second breaks. Don’t count the sets or reps at that point. By 30 minutes you should be toast. You’ll see yourself stronger on the next session as you are hitting the fast twitch fibers first then both fast and slow twitch together. Long drawn out workouts ignore the fact the fast twitch fibers were already spent by the 8th set.

I’m 68 yrs old and have been taking Tongkat Ali since Sept 2022. My testosterone was measured at 645. Over the years my T has been dropping at a rate of about 15 points per year. This Sept (2023) my Testosterone measured 709. I’ve done absolutely nothing different as far as supplements are concerned. I’ve been hitting the gym 6 days per week consistently for the last 51 yrs. I’d have to conclude that Tongkat Ali is responsible. Thanks Andrew for the recommendation!

Having already watched him discuss it on his own podcast previously, He’s a very trustworthy and knowledgeable guy with his intentions set on truely helping people function better. So I knew it was definitely something to look into and having all the basics ticked off for me including vitamin supplementation (D3, B complex, C & magnesium), I’m set to be in a good position for these to have a positive effect. I think it’s important for you to stay consistent with the 2 supps and do another test perhaps 4-6wks down the track would be curious to see if levels remain the same or continue to get little bumps or decreases. Thanks for sharing!!

Just started the Fidogia a couple of weeks ago. I take them both in the morning with my coffee before breakfast. Then I have been taking another Fidogia in the early evening. My bottle From Barlowes says that each capsule is 500 mg. So I have been taking 1000mg a day. After watching this and reading some of the comments, I think I'll cut it to 500 mg. I do have my lifestyle in check with exercise, diet and have been working on my sleep. I did notice a difference in taking the Tongkat Ali before I started the Fidogia. Since starting the Fidogia, I don't feel too much difference except it almost seems my libido has gone down? Also, my appetite for food seems to have increased. I have not had any blood work. Just going on feel. Have to see what happens when cutting the Fidogia in half....

One more thing I would add to the list of "healthy lifestyle factors to get handled" before worrying about supplements is to stop watching porn. Its direct effect on testosterone is a little less clear but we can be certain that it will indirectly affect testosterone because it has detrimental effects on your dopamine system which will in turn have detrimental effects on your ability to keep the other healthy lifestyle factors in check.

Thanks for this I've been recently looking into this I personally got the nature Bell which was a combination of these two in the same amount off of Amazon. After about a month or so taking it I just now realized that the ratio is 20 to 1 versus the 10 to 1 in his recommended so it's probably not a good choice for the future

Been taking these two (plus other basic stuff, working out, water, good sleep semi solid diet) for about 1.5 months. Didn’t get labs cuz I’m not a podcaster who’s gunna make a video about it but a couple weeks in I’d start noticing little things, balls seemed bigger and baggier, voice a little deeper, have to shave a little more frequently, def an increase in libido as well. The longer I’ve been taking it the more often I notice these little benefits and they get stronger every time I notice them. An interesting benefit I’ve noticed is that after the gym, you’ve got that pump right? Well it seems almost like it’s a semi permanent pump. Probably means I’m putting on muscle quicker and easier but I’ll wake up the morning after say chest/shoulders/tricep day and notice it still looks like I have that pump.

Reducing SHBG doesn’t actually increase testosterone in fact if anything it will lower it due to more of the testosterone being free which is allowed it to convert into estrogen, which then causes negative feedback.

I turned forty this year and suspected my testosterone was jacked. I had all the symptoms but went to get tested anyway it had been over a year and a half since the last. I was at 271 ng/dl and my free number was a whopping 4 pg/dl. They started me on testosterone at 200mg once a month much to my protest. Everything I’ve researched says by weekly is a much more effective way to administer. For about 10 days I felt like I was on speed. I had a Macy kind of energy and I genuinely felt some euphoria for my gym sessions. On the other front my downstairs just woke up from the grave after two days. Now I’m in the end of week 4 and it seems like I never took the shot at all. I’m going to try these supplements and see if it helps me stay a little more level until I’m comfortable giving myself the injections in which case I’ll just do 50 a week.

*My testosterone went from 221 ng/dl to 448 ng/dl within a month of doing a carnivore diet.* My SHBG = 19 nmol/l (previously it was 45 nmol/l). My LH = 2 UI/L and FSH = 1 IU/L.

My carnivore diet is: steaks, kangaroo meat, beef liver, beef mince, sockeye salmon, raw egg yolk, milk, cheese, yogurt, and strawberries (vitamin C - your body absorbs more vitamin C as you eat less carbs).

After one week of use you may increase the dosage to two capsules (600 mg) if desired. We do not recommend exceeding three capsules (900 mg) per day. As Fadogia mimics the effects of luteinizing hormones to increase Test levels it’s best used in cycles to prevent the body adjusting and lowering the amount of luteinizing hormones it naturally produces. Therefore we recommend cycling this product in a schedule such as 3 weeks on / 1 week off, or 2 months on / 1 month off.”

What scares me about Fadogia Agrestis in particular are reports coming out that it is highly toxic. Watch the video from nutrition library, it doesn't sound like Fadogia Agrestis is safe to consume. What's your opinion on this?

One of the commenters in the comments section made the point or argument (paraphrasing what he said) that the amounts of fadogia needed to be toxic to humans is well above the recommended dose. I believe he (the commenter) made the point that the amount that was found to be toxic based on the rats body weight is well above 600 mg pound for pound. Sorry if I didn’t explain this well, but hopefully this is true! If so, we won’t have to worry about a max dose of 600 mg!

@@jbarkley4198 Well the thing is since no human studies have been done on Fadogia, there is no way to know for sure what dose could be harmful. I don't think it's worth it to risk taking a supplement with unknown health consequences just to get a slight testosterone boost and slightly larger nuts. Personally I'd stay clear of it until human trials have been done and the long term effects of its usage has been studied. I think it'd be wise to stick to tongkat ali which works just fine and has been studied in humans and appears to be safe.

Barlow's products are awesome BUT a more effective extract comes from the stem of Fadogia, not the root, although the root does have the same compounds. NIH uses Fadogia from stem extracts for their studies.

Was there any need to supplement after? Or is the increase not significant enough to cause major disruption with regular hormones after the cycles

Two things I've been doing for years is having a pack of canned smoked oysters (zinc blast) and taking a Maca supplement every day. Maca increases fertility but gives you that energy/drive as well. You'll notice the bedroom drive immediately. With both of these I can tell a difference within that day in particular with the Maca. Canned oysters I try to only do twice a week so I'm not taking too much in.

Just remember if in high doses Zinc can cause depletion of Magnesium, Copper and Iron. Magnesium is associated with higher TT's. Iron associated with higher TT and FT. Although be careful with iron as your body cannot easily rid of it so minimal top up dosages only 👍🏼 same with copper just minimal top up dosage will suffice.

They’ll return to baseline. I can’t remember exactly what each one does, but I believe one basically acts like a SERM and the other one directly stimulates LH release. So it’d be similar to if someone basically took Clomid, which does no harm.

Hw long did you take the supplements for between bloodworks tests, think I may have missed this in the video.

Having good lifestyle habits first is good advice, bc you will get plenty of benefits from doing so, but you may actually see the biggest % gains in testosterone when taking supps if you have bad lifestyle habits and are starting with lower test levels

Should these supplements be taken everyday or every so often?

I'm 62. 3 years ago had a complete physical and my testosterone was 471 ng/dl. Just got blood test back from another physical and my testosterone was 664. I'm perplexed. Hoping it's not a mistake. I've been eating alot of broccoli and chicken for the last 4 months. Went from about 10 oz of scotch nightly to 3 oz a week. Cut out sugar. Lost 45 lbs. Lost 7.5" off my gut. Will ask my Dr about the increase when we talk next. Been working 12 hours a day 7 days a week. So it's not like I'm getting plenty of sleep. Had 3 weeks covid last December that completely wiped me out. Not sure if that factors into anything. Is this increase even possible? Or is the test flawed. Any opinions would be welcome.

@CJB OCD I was 240 lbs when I started dieting. Cut way down on drinking scotch. Was only eating 1000 to 1300 calories a day. Mostly frozen dinners for convenience. Lost about 25 lbs Mostly in my legs after 6 weeks. About 3 inches off gut. Then incorporated eating frozen broccoli and 4 oz boneless chicken breast About twice a day . Ate 5 meals a day. Frozen dinners, beef jerky. 4 oz hamburger, pork chops, salad etc. Again avoiding sugars including all the donuts and cakes that always seem to show up at work. Lol. Also cut out bread and chips. After about 14.5 weeks of hard dieting was at 196 and gut 42.5". Bumped up my calories 1400 to 1800 so I could get back some muscle after the weight loss. Still maintaining no sugar and eating the broccoli and chicken once or twice a day. And surprisingly after another month I'm maintaining my weight, getting stronger, and my gut is down to 41". Still no breads and chips. Still only the occasional glass of scotch.

You can get labs done to check liver enzymes and kidney function. AST and LST are markers for the liver that are in basic panels. I don’t think you need to hop off of it that frequently, seems very counter productive. I would still recommend taking Vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium. A deficiency in any of those 3 will hinder the whole HPTA. Vitamin D deficiency is very common these days.

Instead of Solary's is it fine to take Barlowe's Tongkat Ali 100:1 since its the same brand?

I took both for about 2 months. Noticed a huge increase in gains (while living a healthy lifestyle like he mentioned in the vid). I just have to add. At the end of the two months I felt a little bit of swelling in my ass hole. No pain at all, but when using the restroom I noticed the increased pressure, so I took November off the fadogia and maintained the tongat. I would like some more insight from the community on that! The supps are great and a wonderful alternative to blackstone labs which I took before. I personally noticed that when I was doing HITT orientated exercise my recovery periods were significantly decreased, and my work to rest ratio was significantly better for all exercises. Basically was able to go to the gym every day while working 8 to 12 hour shifts. As long as I got a good night sleep I was ready for my work out. Just the increased pressure in the back end didn't feel normal, but after a month off I feel completely fine. So I'm gonna go back to it. My hypothesis is as follows. If you have increased production and cells in your body. Then you have the potential for negative reactions when using it for long period of time. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!
