Hello,
I will open with my question, and provide more detail and context below. Thank you in advance for your responses!
My question is: Can I just take D-Aspartic Acid "as needed" without cycling - meaning, take it on a day/days where I feel a need for added recovery?
Additionally: What would the effects be - would I suffer any negative feedback to the DAA usage if I took it 2-4 days a week for several months?
(Am I just wasting my supplement? I think the DAA gives me its effect on a day (or within a day or two) after I take it).
Context and information:
After scouring the web for information on DAA, I have seen the study that indicated there was 'no effect' in the early-20s age group weight lifters with 28 days of usage. (I have seen the other studies as well). I began to be concerned about negative feedback with continuous use [although Mr. Cooper does not believe that exact mechanism is an issue, as seen in the thread "DAA found useless in bodybuilders" - post # 18 - I can't post links till I have 20 or most posts].
ALSO, since DAA seems to increase my appetite, I thought that not using DAA continuously would help negate that effect.
I have used DAA a few times, and run it with standard cycling protocols (i.e., 6 weeks on, 4 weeks off; or 12 weeks on, 8-12 weeks off, etc). I have also refrained from using it for several months at a time; I have not run DAA continuously.
I like to use DAA while dieting/cutting to 'preserve' testosterone levels. I also like to use it after a night where I don't sleep well/ a day where I think my recovery may be jeopardized due to a lot of physical activity, like a strenuous soccer game.
