i am taking 3-4 grams of resveratrol a day along with my testforce and am feeling like a million dollars. I think high dose resveratrol right now is as good as any OTC SERM or AI on the market right now. Make sure you use the 98 or 99 percent kind cuz the 50% sometimes can give you diarrhea

so far there have been four studies by different researchers that indicate resveratrol raises LH, FSH, and testosterone. It seems pretty clear that it has the potential to raise testosteorne in humans. How well it would work with someone suppressed from steroid use i can only speculate, but i see no reason why it would not be similar in some regard to prescription anti-estrogens (if dosed appropriately)

the ideal for an athlete is a muscle fiber that is type II but good oxidative capacity. I am strong but with bad endurance and recovery capabilities. so the resveratrol muscle phenotype effects may actually be of benefit to me.
and lets not forget that in the famous rat study they actually showed more power in the rats. so unlike what some people theorize the stuff does not turn you into an endurance athlete weakling
Even a spike in blood levels could cause some down stream issues. It's an interesting compound.
Patrick Arnold said:
a spike can work. remember, it works by influencing gene transcription. once it initiates that process the process proceeds whether the compound is still circulating or not
How do you guys feel about resveratrol downregulating AR's?
Patrick Arnold said:
studies regarding the function of the AR in prostate should not be extrapolated to other tissues. There are host of AR co-regulators that exist in prostate tissue that dont exist in other tissues. In fact influencing these co-regulators is thought to be one way to design SARMs (or anabolic steroids) that have good muscle effects and poor prostate effects.
well i certainly dont feel like i am taking an anti-androgen when i take large dosages of resveratrol
Such high dose of resveratrol will not have a high oxidative effect(Which is not good)?
Patrick Arnold said:
why would it?
have you read the high dose resveratrol studies in animals? do you see anything to indicate toxicity?
is it ok to take resveratrol ED with your daily vitamins? i currently take 1000mg of it a day, wether im on cycle, off it, pct, or not just pretty much everyday like i said, is this ok????
Patrick Arnold said:
Your saying this supplement might better be suited to the building of athletic type II muscle fibers that would be more suited towards endurance ?
Patrick Arnold said:
speculating that its possible
