I’m taking the least possible - just one capsule a day. And due to some posts mentioning possible muscle pain I’m adding 1 CoQ10 whenever I take the Mitochondrial energizer with PQQ.
Got some pimples now I’m not sure whether it could be from the PQQ I think (reaction with multivitamin?) … probably not, perhaps excess histamine.. will see what happens now that I’ve stopped the supplement.
I’m going to start tomorrow.
Have you been taking it with food, or without?
With some food at breakfast…
I got some Tongkat Ali from BarlowesHerbalElixirs.com a couple of months ago. I’ve been taking it twenty days on, ten days off. After the first twenty days I could really feel a big difference, tremendously increased energy and desire, which became very noticable about day twenty and lasted about a week. I’ve finished the second twenty days on the Tongkat Ali and the effect is not as strong this second cycle.
Before I started I got my blood drawn and my testosterone and other hormones measured. I’ll do that again in a few months to see if there is actually a measurable difference.
As far as the PQQ, my LifeExtension capsules are 10mg. The label says one capsule once or twice daily, with or without food. At first I was taking it in the morning (empty stomach) and again with dinner. I’ve stoped the morning dose. Maybe I should start that up again. It’s not cheap.
I had to get blood drawn again for an unrelated reason, so I had them check the testoserone levels as well. I had the levels tested before I started talking Tongkat Ali and now after two months on these herbs I am surprised to find what a big difference there is. My total testosterone is up 66% and free testosterone is up 57%.
I hope you have as good luck, Steve. I’m really blown away by these numbers!
Been taking it every other day, just to get started. Next week, I’ll begin a week on, week off cycle.
I’ve been taking it for a few days again. I take it with CoQ10 as was recommended.
I found a site with some more information on PQQ.. thought it might be of interest.
Meanwhile yesterday I didn’t take the PQQ and today I took 2 capsules.. will see how it goes this time..
I wish I decided to stick with a career in biology. I can’t understand most of this stuff.
