It is a fascinating herb, any reviews on Source Naturals 10% extract tablets? 

[Baten]

The Source Naturals and Now foods ones are not really worth buying. They don't have much if any effect, other than working on your stool/intestines. Then again the 60% ones are crazy expensive and possible not really pure extract (read previous posts); I wish some company like powder city would come with a higher extract bulk product.

i agree. i tried dozen of brands, cheaper ones are definitely crap but also expensive ones can be a scam so you never really know. this is just a tiny example of all the influx of crappy scam with the potential to-be-very-medicinally valuable substances on the market and NOT A SINGLE REGULATORY BODY EXISTS TO PROTECT THE CONFUSED CONSUMER.

Swanson and Powdercity claim to sell a 50% and a 40% extract respectively.

oh ok, they "claim" to sell. very interesting info. anything else to add to this wonderful piece of info?

Just curious, why deal with a company like Liftmode, when you could talk to your physician about low dose use of tadalafil for everyday use for high blood pressure or enlarged prostate?  That pretty much covers 90% of men over the age of 45.

 

Plus, I've used both Liftmode, Sourcenatural, and quite possible 5 other brands of the herb and it in no way comes close to the effect of tadalafil; which, also lasts about 3 days.  Not to mention the side effects lessen over time, so if you are taking a low dose every day, there are virtually none.

 

Finally, high quality herbs are quite pricey as well.

 

Again, just curious.

The hgw has many different effects besides the pde5 inhibiting ones.

 

Has anybody else tried the 60% extract from world abs?D

 

Does the fact icariin is a testosterone mimetic means it can be suppressive and would shrunk testicles (once off it) attest to this idea?

Hi Wagner,

Can you provide any references to your statement below? thx.

"It was only a while after discontinuing the hgw that I became aware high dose and/or long term use of hgw is connected with respiratory arrest and tachycardia (although the last one is not 100 % proven from the little I read)."

[mrak1979]

Wagner, could this explain the respiratory and tachycardia effects?

What are people's thoughts on this?

[Wagner83]

Hi ,

I elaborated more and posted many links in this thread. http://anabolicminds...nces-world.html

Anybody think Icariin requires mandatory cycling?

i tried prolabs hgw, and it works, great product, but after that i tried vitacost s hgw(which contains only hgw not like prolabs) it also works, which is much cheaper.

icariin seems so amazingly promising, but how come all products i tried didnt do anything they claimed to? i admit, most products i tried were called horny goat weed, but all of them claimed to contain a percent of icariin, and the bumping of the dose should have caused some effect, but it hasnt. perhaps most stuff is really fake indeed and this icariin substance is expensive to synthesize and distribute??
