I was considering using TRIBEX and Carbolin 19 together for a cycle. Now after doing more research, would I be better off using Alpha Male? My goal is to build strength and muscle right now, is this the right supplement for me? Or should I use the TRIBEX/Carbolin 19 instead?? Any info would help.[/quote]
Abs, go with Alpha Male it has everything TRIBEX has plus Carbolin 19 and it has the strongest dose of the compounds. Plus you aren’t opening different bottles at pill time it’s all in the Alpha Male.
It’s a subtle effect, you don’t notice it every minute, however I’ve felt improved mood, increased libido, and tend towards aggresive behavior more often than depression now. I’m still evaluating the results with respect to my diet and exercise, but so far I feel it’s having a positive effect, enough to make me buy a second bottle anyways.
Does anyone have hard data on test levels or know of any sites with factual research into the compounds used in Alpha Male? I don’t doubt some of the testimonials here, but I’ve never taken any hormone supps before because I’ve never seen the kind of research you think would be done before marketing these types of products.
Specifically, where are the double blind placebo studies with T levels measured before and after?
How long does it usually take to notice the first signs of increased libido and T? I mean, does it take a while for the lutenizing hormone or whatever to start getting stimulated or might u even have higher T the very night at end of day taking first pill in morning?

Some say that they ‘feel it’ after their first tablet, but from my understanding and experience the mechanism or action usually takes a week to two weeks before you finally feel the effect of increased testosterone from increased production.
I’ve used both forms on and off for three years, currently for a year straight. I’m 37 and while ON I have ‘morning wood’, the libido of am 18yrd, my w/o partner is 25 and I can keep up with him in the gym, I keep a good muscle tone, I’m not getting any fatter(little cardio) and steadly building muscle and breaking PR. I occasionaly do take 2-3 weeks OFF and really notice the difference in my attitude and well being.The last time I had my Test. levels checked they were in the low-normal range, in approximately 6mo. I’ll get retested while ON. It’s worth the two month investment$ to see if it works for you.

Do you take ZMA? Not trying to convince you to buy both, but it makes a huge difference in my sleep.[/quote]
As a matter of fact I do take ZMA. The ZMA helps me to fall asleep and sleep somewhat more deeply than I would without it, but the problem is waking up a tad too early. I tried taking another 3 capsules of ZMA upon waking up to eek out another hour or two, but it didn’t work.
Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)
Buganu (drink in Swazi that causes orgies)
A disorder called persistent sexual arousal syndrome (PSAS), a rare disorder that causes some women to be aroused for long periods of time for no reason.
etc…
There are a lot of other substances that cause arousal besides increased test. I don’t mean to slight other people’s experiences, I just would like to know that if I pay money for something, I’m getting what is advertised. There are a ton of supps on the market, and I highly doubt they all do what they advertise.
Why aren’t there “good” studies done on this stuff, rather than just “well, this substance has been shown to…” ok, then show me exactly how much that raised test, and if it did, here’s my money. Why is that so hard or such an unreasonable request?
