So against my own advice, I went ahead and started trying DAA (regular DAA powder from NutraPlanet).
3 grams a day, first thing in the morning before breakfast. Today was my 8th day.
Nothing whatsoever to report so far, good, bad or otherwise.

Haha that’s the exact same stuff I ordered. However shipping got messed up so it hasn’t come yet; should be here by friday though. Are you doing the 12 days on 12 off? Or what?

Haven’t really decided for sure, but I might just do that. Today is Day 9, which is no different from Day 0, and since studies noticed the supposed increase in T after 12 days, I don’t really see the point in going beyond 12 days. We’ll see.
How long do the studies say the increase lasts after cessation?
So does anyone else think it tastes like really bad lemonade?
Yup… Tangy lemon drink with extra sediment to taste 
So I am at day 14 of a 3g a day dose. Like Damici I unfortunately don’t have much to offer. After 2 days I thought my recovery between sets was better and I have moments of maybe feeling stronger but overall the ‘effect’ is minimal for me.
Decided to up the dose yesterday to 2 3g serves a day until finished so I shall see if there is any improvement. If anything I actually feel like my libido has decreased :s
I think I’d like to give something like this a try, and from what I can tell, it’s unlikely to be harmful and is very reasonably priced.
Before I place an order, though…I wanted to verify that I’m getting into the same boat as the rest of you. Would anyone care to link me to the one you’re using?..

I almost want to say 3 days or so, but I need to find the article.

I also thought I remembered hearing 3 days.
For the record, yesterday was my 12th day on the stuff. Nada to report, good or bad. So I’m stopping now. Experiment over for me.
Oh well.

Did you genuinely expect anything to happen in 12 days?
Nothing written anywhere about this supp talks about results in < 2 weeks of use.
Research has shown 42% increases in T levels in 12 days, if I’m not mistaken. (Maybe it was 14 days.) And many guys who have tried it claimed they’ve felt major increases in energy, aggressiveness and libido almost right away.
Not so for me, but others felt it fairly quickly.
Four days on so far for me. Nothing dramatic, although I did manage a high intensity push session last Thursday while doing the pulse protocol on minimum calories. Whether this energy was a result of the added DAA I’m unsure. Certainly no noticable increase in libido to date.
BONEZ - Damici is correct in quoting the study there.
I am on my 18th day and have been double dosing for the last 4 days. Today will be my first gym session since double dosing so I’ll see how it goes. No notable physiological responses though in regards to libido, vitality etc, will test the recovery and strength side today.
If I inject 1 gram of test for 12 days I probably will see little to no results.
It’s not some miracle supp., but you will need to be using it for a prolonged period of time if you want to see results. Hitting a 42% increase in test in 12 days means nothing because it’s only been used for 12 days.

I never received anything from you…Just a polite PM from a mod which explained the whole “Posting Links to competitors” policy.

Hmm I’ll do it again
I wanted to post here a few weeks ago, but I held off (for some reason). I’ve had low testosterone for a while (271, range 300-800 IIRC). I’m 32 years old and about 240 lbs.
So, I figured, I’d give DAA a try. Right now, I’ve been on DAA for a little over 4 weeks + Alpha Male. Yesterday I sent a saliva sample off to a lab to get my testosterone checked. Granted, it’s not a clean empirical test of just DAA, I thought that some people here might be interested in my results.
Practically all other aspects of my life are the same, except for this new supplement and I switched around my workout routine. I’m still eating the same amount of calories and I’ve ‘maintained’ my weight for the past few months.
The clinic said in might be a week or two before I get my results, and when I do I’ll post them here.
Saliva results came in (I also went in for a blood test)…The results were less then astounding…
Prior to suppliments, my free testosterone was 73.1 pg/ml (which is low)
After suppliments (and via saliva test), my free testosterone is 73.2 pg/ml
Yay?
Anyone else get any blood work done?
I ordered a draw and will see if I can get it done Thursday. My order from another site, which includes a DAA supplement named after a prominent forum member there, is scheduled to arrive that day, as well.
The blood work is mostly just as a general checkup and to see what my Vit. D levels are like, though if I notice anything from the supplement I may get the hormone panel redone in a month or two. While I understand that libido, energy, mood, etc aren’t exclusively T-dependent, things like that will determine if I order a followup.
