Distance running and steroids.

-Roman, why do you take resveratrol? What do you find it helps with. You've been taking it for a while so you must rate it. And I've had a look around at MSM. It's seems a pretty affordable supplement. Plus will hopefully allow me to train my legs alittle harder in the future. Only problem now is my testosterone levels. Anything out there for that? Tribulus helps alittle but makes me wanna urinate all the time lol. Long jack I feel is a waste of time. And I also take a night time ZMA supplement (happy with this one though). I need more strength and aggression, so I'm guessing I need testosterone.

A friend advised- a Deca/Tes combo. To aid healing and get my bite back. But I need someone with knowledge to advise.

I adhere to the philosophies of what one would call..."Life Extenders"
Life extenders have been raving about resveratrol for years now. It is a documented fact that in shorter lived mammals a caloric restricted diet increases life span by about 30%. The main benefit of resveratrol is that in these very same mammals, when taken in appropriate amounts, it mimics the benefits of a caloric restricted diet, without having to restrict calories. In fact, some pretty fat mammals have had their lives extended 30% period as well.

We extrapolate this data into longer lived humans, but to see if the same 30% extension works, we'd have trial periods of 50+ years or so. We've only really known about resveratrol for less than 20 years. Remember the French and their horrible diets? why did they live so long? it is attributable to the resveratrol found in the wine they drink, which gets it from red grape skin. It is basically an antifungal. it is also an excellent anti oxydent, much better so than vit. c or the the others. So we (I) take resveratrol under the assumption that what is good for my fellow mammals, is also good for me, (without all the supporting clinical data, which is still years away)

Now, I purchased a kilo of 40% pure resveratrol powder maybe 6 years or so ago, and take every day. And I still have maybe a two or so year supply left.

About your test levels. From a supplement viewpoint, there is really nothing that will raise your test levels in the long term, as defined by more than a few days. Before you start taking testosterone, get your blood panels done, including free/total test. Only this will tell you if you need more testosterone.

Let me know if you need anything else?
