That's hard to imagine, as every spring I get a massive dose of pine pollen and tend to feel pretty lousy. Seriously, though, it's probably the oak pollen that does that.

What's the active ingredient supposed to be?

I've been making tea from ground up rhino horn. I can't tell whether it's the actual horn material or the thrill of killing a rare and beautiful creature but I am fully engorged for hours afterward.

Highly recommended.

The claims seem to be related toot containing nutrients (typical vitamins, amino acids and antioxident) along with testosterone and androgens (seems questionable).

I've done some online reading and came across a few scientific articles such as (abstract),

And there's a slew of the typical internet "miracle cure" testimonials, blogs, and sales pitches that claim everything from anti inflammatory properties to making you feel like your 20 years old again.

Now where do I sign up for the shark fin and rhino horn surf & turf?

keep in mind that it's a muscle relaxer (of sorts) … that means ALL muscles (including large intestines .. if you get what I mean )

Are these legit things I should be looking into or something to add to my to-do list and eventually get to in 3-5 years.

Wanted to being this back up. Its been 8 weeks of the TRT injections at home. 200mg a week split into two doses, monster dose to start off though something like 300mg on the first day. So much chicken breast that I gag when I cook it and more protein powder, magnesium drinks that I swear I am sweating white salts.

And survey says after being dunk tested again today 14lb's of muscle gain, 8lb's of weight loss and a lot more hydration. Max bench is back above 225 again from 160 at the start. Something tells me that I am super physiological in dosing right now . Going in for blood test in a week but I expect my levels to be in the 1600ng/dl range based on a few people I lift with who juice.

Energy is through the roof, everything below the belt works like I am 23. Alcohol knocks me completely on my ass though, like two shots and I am beyond functional. Only real complaint is that I smell very different and my voice has dropped a solid half octave and it was low to begin with. I sing berry white songs in the lab to annoy people now. Appetite for risk is through the roof as well, put a few investments on autopilot with vanguard just to keep them away from my grasp till I have a better handle on my emotions.

MACA and Turmeric and the hot miracle supplements trending now. What will it be next year?

It's all about balance, having the right mount of everything. How do you realistically do that? You cannot get that many tests.

MACA

Turmeric

I remember you posted about trying soylent green a while back, I never saw a follow up to it. Did you try it? And if so how did it go?

Cute..

Works great for me but I can only use it when I am bulking. It is just to hard for me to go all liquid for any longer then 5-6 days at a time. So I end up binging on carbs when I get off it. If I do a actual cycle of T at some point in the future I am going to have to go back on it along with solid food. I just cannot get enough protein and carbs clean enough otherwise.

Energy level on my soylent blend are almost too high. I have to bleed it off at night on the exercise bike or I cannot sleep.
