Isn't it usually used as a stimulant?
 
It has been around for a long time. I remember this being discussed back in the 90's as a potential test booster. It's also been promoted as an adaptogen. One issue, if I remember correctly is that the standardization levels are all over the place from a raw material standpoint and the dosage needed is fairly high.
 
I have a book on adaptogen, seem good but does not seem to do better or more beneficial than other more popular adaptogen like, rhodiola, shilajit, ginseng or maral root. it suppose to enhance reflex, work performance and mental activity.
 
i just find this : Invalid Link Removed

it seems to reduce myostatin level , or maybe i did not understand properly
 
I have been using it for couple months now as an anti-tussive due to my post nasal drip cough. couple supplements have schizandra - myostato from LG science / Anafuse.
 
What are you trying to achieve by taking this supplement? There aren't very many good studies on it, and AFAIK, none in weight trained athletes, which is what you ideally want.
 
it may have good overall health benefits: adaptogen. many people report improvement of skin quality. But I also havent noticed any anabolic / performance effects from it.

It sounds kind of like an experiment just to see if it works. Do you really want to be a guinea pig for some substance that has barely any studies on it or would you rather spend your money on something you know works? Or you could spend it on an adaptogen with more research on it, like ashwagandha.

Read the Wikipedia article on "adaptogens" and you might get a different opinion about them.
