Is prime a phyto-androgen?

[bigshoulders]

Hi,

This is my first post, I haven't been much into uh 'fancy' supplements until now, just get my whey concentrate and creatine in unlabeled bulk.
However, I've stumbled across this USPlabs stuff recently and I'm pretty intrigued.

Prime
When I read about the Androgen like effects (aggression, libido) its hard to believe that it doesn't have androgen like effects. Is it possible that it is a phyto-androgen - a plant product that contains compounds that act like testosterone in your body but don't actually affect your testosterone. For example, the product that Primordial Performance have?

PowerFULL
The main mechanism of action seems to dopamine increase. This in turn causes a large increase in HGH and smaller increase in testosterone.
Dopamine feels good, it increases motivation, focus, and also libido. I even heard of a reviewer that said it kept his rod harder between rounds of sex. This sounds like typical effects of dopamine raising drugs, which is a good thing! just my thoughts.


By the way, I took steroids once about 4 years ago (testosterone) and have no plan in going back to that. I believe that I can keeoing gaining significantly drug-free, and supplements like this make me think amazing things are possible...

So who knows, I'd like to give prime a try!! If I do, there'll be review.

Any USPLAB rep want to try answer this, Jacob?
I'm really curious.

By the way I've just started to take Prime today, so lets see what happens! yeehaw!

PRIME:

It is hard to say for certain; however, one postulate is that some of the steroidal glycosides within PRIME display SARM (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator)-like capacities. Without further MOA (Method of Action) testing, though, this is impossible to say for certain.

PowerFULL:

PowerFULL contains an extract of Mucuna Pruriens L., standardized to 50% L-DOPA upon production. L-DOPA is the direct precursor to Dopamine and undergoes enzymatic conversion to Dopamine via Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (Dopadecarboxylase for short). It is postulated that Mucuna also contains inherent PDCIs (peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors) as well as independent L-DOPA enhancing-adjuvants which result in a demonstrated superior efficacy over synthetic L-DOPA administration; even in instances of concomitant administration of carbidopa and/or COMTi (catechol-O-methyl transferase inhibitor).
