If i remember correctly. it needs to be the sodium DAA at 3gs and it did show improvements of test levels after 12 days, however test returned to normal ranges with extended use.
I also remember using it not during PCT and found it somewhat worthless. However to start a pct with it, for 12 days I think was the only logical use for it.

That's what I was thinking as it would be a kick start to a pct. Just thinking about old supplements that were once really hyped and fell off tremendously.

I am almost positive that the entire DAA craze was built off of that single "study" that had only a handful of people in it. We were so desperate everyone just ran with it.

Agree with this. But I do know there has been advances in DAA, there is a methylated version that requires a smaller dose than traditional DAA, I looked to clarify and Doug Millers brand Core nutritionals has it in their “Alpha test booster” supplement, that’s the only supplement off the top of my head that has it. Worth a look if you are set on DAA.

We still offer DAA Capsules and DAA Powder and its still a consistent seller.
It isn't something that we promote, more like just something that we offer because people want us to.
For me personally, the stack of DAA Caps + Inhibit-P was always a reliable go to for libido.
The way that I explain it to people is that a lot of people do see an increase in libido off of it, so that's the result that I would be hoping for and if my test levels went up, then that would just be an added bonus.
Over the years, I have had people share bloodwork with me that showed that it did increase their testosterone and free testosterone and then others that showed that it didn't. This lines up with the discrepancies in the original studies where some showed it did and some showed it didn't.
I remember back to when there were such heated arguments over whether it increased testosterone or not and I would say that neither side of that argument was necessarily right or wrong - that it is a great example of an ingredient that works well for some people and not well for others.

I wouldn’t consider that an “advance”. You can google or search for past threads on NMDA, I’m not going to rehash but I’d never use it personally.

But they cut the dose down from 3 grams to 30mg, that’s a considerable amount!

It's a different form, so a different dosage.
What he's referring to is that there are some possible side effects related to that form of it. I would never ever use the NMDA form.

I threw that out there for resolve to see what he would say, I remember he said he likes to play contrarian, all in good fun. I never got on DAA, I was young when it was really popular. A 9900% decrease in dosage is still kinda cool though

I can’t tell if you are being serious. It’s not the same ingredient and idk why decreasing dose would even be important.
Either way it doesn’t matter because it’s not the same ingredient with the same effects, I’d never use it, and I’m not going to rehash decade old debates so that’s all I’ll continue to say on the subject.

Well I was being serious in a jokingly way if that makes sense, moving forward I’m going to make sure my replies are interpreted better. My reasoning behind the dosage size is, I have always thought a dosage size decrease was beneficial for the GI, Stomach and Liver, in a general sense. Less raw material to process and use.

A lesser dosage size does not at all make something easier or better on your body.
Think about it - by your thought process, methylated ph’s would’ve been easier on the liver bc they were dosed at 10 to 25 mg; where in reality they were extremely liver toxic.
D-Aspartic Acid & NMDA are two separate things - there’s no dosage comparison bc that’s like comparing a dose of Forskolin to a dose of Cissus - there’s 2 different dosage ranges bc they’re just different.
NMDA has potential neurotoxicity issues and I would never use it. Back when it first became popular we had people asking us to make one and my answer was absolutely not.
I hope that helps.

It does help, That’s where I’m wrong, thought NMDA was simply a more concentrated/bioavailable form of DAA.

Has labs on sodium daa twice. Raised total test from 200;250, to over 300. Causes increased prolactin. Had a brain scan . Took mucuna to lower it and it works (32 to 5)
The above was when I was natural. Diagnosed with hypogonadism after 1.5 years and five blood tests . Started trt, and cycling anabolic. After two years in nonstop trt and hormones, took a two months break, did sodium daa for one month tested and test was at 14! ( Also used clomid, hcg and triptorelin) (Triptorelin, around this time 2014, was promoted for increasing testosterone, but later found out it basically had opposite effect , and this may have been the cause)
Remember not sure if it still is, but back around 2010-2015, Daa was once a scripted only fertility drug in Italy, for increasing sperm count. If I was going to try getting her pregnant, I would try this first
I've heard Daa works on similar receptors as dissociative s, like ketamine, so if going to ketamine clinic, this supplement needs to not be taken good amount of time before or afterwards
