Muira Puama

[Chefdeez]

Dinoiii, this is a very vague question but what are your thoughts on this herb? This is something that I have recently been trying out and libido has been through the roof. I've read that an optimal dose is anywhere between 500 mgs and 2.5 grams. I have been taking 500 mgs 2-3 times per day and noticing a very nice boost in libido.

Also, I could not find any info on toxicity or side effects with long term use.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I used NP's 12:1 extract and thought it was alright, no real libido benifits for me, but then again I used it in PCT coming off a 1AD/Havoc cycle, so I was pretty shutdown to begin with

I think the aformentioned exchange is certainly pertinent.

Now, even though I am entrenched heavily in herbal studies programs as we speak (yes, this doc continually tries to learn more), I cannot say I have a lot of experience with this particular herb.

I know it gets rave reviews in Brazil, hypothesized to increase genital circulation in both sexes acting as a nervous system tonic. The problem I think with it is that you need significant quantities to get the desired effect and with increasing quantities you can get nervous system stimulation and have significant difficulty sleeping etc...

I think it has a safe overall rating according to anything I have looked at, however, its use has most often been limited to combo preparations like:

Damiana + HGW + Maca + Oat + Shilajit

rather than in monotherapeutic trials...so I'd say if you think it is working for you, why not?

Thanks for your help. Seems like something that can be useful during PCT or on cycle to aid in loss of libido.

Perhaps, if used in high enough doses many would probably spend their money else where, however.
