Gamma-o

[facko]

Does anyone know anything about gamma-o. On this mma site…theres a banner promoting it. I clicked on it and it’s a testosterone booster. It claims to boost testosterone by 800%. Anyone know anything about this stuff? I’m not interested in buying it…just curious if its for real. In the ad it states it rivals the effects of prohormones and steroids (LOL). Im pretty sure its bs but just wanted to get your guys input.

I posted the same question in another forum

one of the quotes was “Body-builders have tried gamma-oryzanol supplements to boost their performance, but clinical trials indicate that this is fruitless.”

I’m not sure if Gamma-O is developed differently from the actual Gamma-Oryzanol, but I figured I would give it a try. I ordered a bottle and plan on trying it. I’ll keep you posted.

A did a little digging of my own (bow down before the almighty Google)…

…body-builders have tried gamma-oryzanol supplements to boost their performance, but clinical trials indicate that this is fruitless. In a 1997 study, male weight trainers who took gamma-oryzanol supplements (500 mg a day for nine weeks) failed to perform better than participants taking a placebo. Nor were levels of various hormones, including endorphins or testosterone (a male hormone), affected in any way.

Also…

Apparently acting on the brain’s control of digestion, and possibly through a direct effect on the stomach, gamma-oryzanol may help to ease heartburn and other digestive-system discomforts. Ulcer sufferers have taken it with some success. Gamma-oryzanol supplements have also relieved pain, nausea, vomiting, and other post-meal gastrointestinal symptoms in study participants suffering from gastritis (stomach inflammation). Japanese scientists conducting various trials have discovered that gamma-oryzanol may ease hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause, and may even help to lower cholesterol. In addition, antioxidant properties in the extract may protect heart vessels from free-radical damage.

I emboldened the text that I thought was most “interesting”. So, yeah, um…good luck with that King6.
