Episode notes
Fadogia May Raise LH, Human Data Missing
- Fadogia agrestis appears to increase luteinizing hormone (LH) in preclinical studies, which can drive testosterone rises downstream.
- Human data are lacking, so effects in people remain unconfirmed despite clinical anecdotal increases in LH and testosterone.
Mitigate Fadogia Risks With Cycling And Antioxidants
- Avoid continuous high-dose fadogia; cycle usage and consider antioxidant support like N‑acetylcysteine or taurine to mitigate possible testicular oxidative effects.
- Use conservative patterns (e.g., 3 weeks on/1 week off) and check labs if using longer-term.
Optimize Sleep For Hormone Peaks
- Prioritize sleep hygiene because the largest LH surge and peak testosterone occur during REM in early morning hours.
- Aim for consistent 7–9 hours and consider sleep study if you have daytime sleepiness or suspected apnea.
