Take garlic to build muscle

[RottenWillow]

I've read several peer reviewed research studies that have found evidence for garlic being able to positively influence muscle building.

Garlic can increase LH, increase the length of time one maintains a positive nitrogen balance, and increase testosterone levels. I even took it myself for detox purposes and never failed to notice a very noticeable increase in my sex drive, but I'd never heard garlic could increase T, so I just always assumed it was coincidence.

I can vouch for freeze dried garlic as definitely being effective at increasing T production. The thiosulfinates must be preserved, so those pills from the supermarket made of crushed garlic probably will disappoint. Fresh garlic is of course an option too. It's way cheaper, but much stinkier. I found that about 5000mg of freeze dried a day really gave me a nice sex drive.

Ok here's just one link to research, but there's several out there.

Nice find. I will read this and look more into it myself. I love stuff like this.

Wow a lot of view, but no posts. I was interested to hear opinons.

If anyone wants to try this, Healingedge has the cheapest prices on very high quality freeze dried garlic I've ever found. Pharmax is literally pharmaceutical grade. It's the brand prescribed by orthomolecular physicians. It's far more expensive than the cheapo supermarket brands, but the quality is vastly superior.

Does that come in pill form or just a powder?

so, since it lists you as a female, we know that almost any increase in test levels even slight elevations will increase sex drive/libedo in women..

Men it may or may not, but the freeze dried stuff i want to know about..

thanks for sharing..

Clinically, it's the other way around. Most of these studies seem to include only male test subjects. The study I linked only involved male test subjects. I included my personal experience to support the idea that the results could probably be generalized to women.

Pharmax garlic comes only in 700mg capsules. I was taking 2-3 days 3x a day after meals.

Ya this is a big one. What about the stink??? does it come up from the gut and make you breath green smoke or what?

And for the record garlic is great for hurt health and a whole bunch of other stuff too. Da juicers take it along with krill oil,and stuff for cholesterol also.

oooh no, it's not zero stink, amiga. There's less smell than fresh garlic, but yes there is some garlic smell for sure. The degree depends on the amount you take. When I was taking 10,000mg a daily my husband howled about my garlic funk, but not so much at 5,000mg.At the lower dose I think only your SO would ever be close enough to mind it.

About the only thing that really covers the garlic breath is peppermint oil. Peppermint candies really don't have much peppermint in them, so they don't work too well. Any herb shop will have peppermint oil though.

Fresh or freeze dried garlic is a fricking fantastic all around detoxifier. Would be particularly good for anyone on oral AAS. The cholesterol thing has turned out not to be true though, but plain old niacin (MUST be in the form of nicotinic acid though, not "no-flush" niacin) is insanely good at lowering triglycerides and pretty good at lowering the other lipids. If they don't know about niacin, tell them. This is the product I use: http://www.vitacost.com/Twinlab-Niacin-B3. Within just a few days of regular use your body gets used to it and the flushing decreases a lot or even stops altogether.

Not that it matters any to us but you know garlic gets rid of worms in dogs and shit?

Garlic is a powerful antibiotic in a lot of ways. Kills staff infections too.
