Are there any studies regarding racetams and testosterone levels? The only study on this topic I could find was conducted on mice.

The general knowledge seems to be that racetams decrease testosterone levels. Therefore I'm considering to add Horny Goat Weed to my daily stack.

What is your experience?

i'm very interested in this as well. from my experience it is hard to tell, but i have a slight and vague sense that when i take a lot of racetams i get less horny, but it could also be an unrelated psychological things (as in i get more interested in the world and thus less with sex). so horny goat weed - is that to increase testosterone or to offset a significant side effect of low T (low libido)?

Horny goat weed is estrogenic. Why would you want to raise your estrogen? Why not use Nettle Root powder?

Don't think there's any link. Testosterone feels quite a bit different from any fluctuation you get on piracetam.

I definitely feel a decrease in libido when I'm taking piracetam, but this may simply be due to my mind being better-focused on other tasks.

Is there anyone who had a racetam other than piracetam work for them? If so, then which racetam was that? I am considering putting piracetam on the shelf and moving forward. I got 10% left of my 500g, which i will finish but after than i need to experience a new racetam!

Nah....there's no effect whatsoever. I got me some Mucuna Pruriens which is supposed to be an aphrodisiac so we shall see :-D

Try heavy squats and lifting in general then see what you think. I have just started a big (ish) stack of nootropics a few days ago but i am also doing a strength training routine. I'm 26, horny as hell and feel aggressive. But at the same time i can tell the sups/noots i'm taking are also keeping that aggressiveness in check. But overall definitely some high levels of natural test running through me at the moment. Never taken steroids.
