I found this in the Designer Supp's adrenalean writeup:
In addition to the above benefits, recent research into Arecoline has found an intriguing effect on the pineal gland; the gland which produces melatonin. While the pineal gland is large during childhood and releases abundant melatonin, which is thought to inhibit sexual development of children, the gland shrinks at puberty to allow proper sexual development. Arecoline has the effect of inhibiting the pineal gland, thereby stimulating testicular function by releasing the restraints of melatonin (3) and subsequently increasing testosterone levels (4). This is obviously a welcome effect for those aiming to retain muscle during dieting.
Okay, if all this is true, it is really interesting, as I have used melatonin a few times, and found that it works very well, my libido was not really affected (I think...) Would a melatonin decrease cause sleep disturbances too? I am curious if these have a direct correlation..
