Curcumin and Libido

[sabutar]

Hey everyone,
Its has been a really looooooooooong time since I have started a thread on PM. I have been coming on from time to time to catch the latest updates. I started taking Curcumin/res about a year ago, I have also been on 1ml of test e /week for a couple of years. The Curc/Res combo works great! I think I am in the best shape of my life...my BF is way low, I have great endurance, and I generally have a great mood. Sometimes I will run out of curc/res and I really didn't notice til I got back on. I keep a log of my morning wood..lol I know, just trying to keep a log of myself. It seems that I dont get them as frequently, or at all when I am back on Curcumin (only doing 300mg a week). Morning wood is down and it seems like I am not even as interested as I used to be. Could there be a correlation between curc and libido? I did a google search and found this..
**broken link removed**

Can anyone else chime in on this?

Took the words right out of my mouth.. I found the same thing.. There is studies that show curcumin knocks down dht levels a bit .. So if dht is at lower levels and add curcumin it maybe the fly in the ointment.. I like all the effects of curcumin except that.. I added proviron at just 25 mgs aday and all was back again..

Yes sir

Ive megadosed inj resrv curc hyal sod and glute for around 10 yrs.. as stated proverion is very helpful..pro

I just wanted to point out that you used 'log' and 'morning wood' in the same sentence. Bravo!

Anyways. I haven't gone off curc long enough to pay attention to that. I've heard anecdotes about this issue for years though, and I'm curious.

I've been taking curcumin in capsule form for years and never knew about or noticed this. Is the injectable form far more powerful? I would assume it is

 

[sabutar]

Thanks for the replies. The injectable stuff, I think, is more bioavailable....please correct me if I am wrong. I love the stuff, just trying to find the work around for the libido. Anything other than proviron that would help with DHT? would Nettle root work?

Night and day. Veterans supply here has it and other nice products.

curcumin is a reason of bad libido, just google latest research. this herb can even kill your libido

weather on or off hormones may make a difference here.

there are actually studies on curc for birth control for men and women and works in non hormonal ways... nothing definitive.

I honestly get the opposite effect on HIGH dose res curc.
gives me horrible wood all night long.
curc does effect nitric oxide, which I think is why it may have this effect.

low dose Viagra seems to have opposite effect for me, like less good erection. I haven't fucked with high dose in a long time so really cant say but maybe something to low dose nitric oxide fuckery to have opposite effect?

fyi I get said effect on 800-1000mg cruc wk... you know how...

info on this is posted somewhere in the depths of the veteran supplies thread.

good to see you bro!

I don't really want to stop taking curcumin, its helped in just about every other aspect. One of the posts I saw on curcumin compared it to an SSRI and suggested sulbutiamine to combat this....I should be getting some soon and will let you know how this works.

Ive been doing curc/resv inj ... high quality, has been instrumental in pretty much eliminating joint and tendon pain. Great products from veterans supply. Libido took a dive... was just talking about this last night.
Am close to show, did last inj about 5 days ago, will be interested to see if it resurges in correlation with stopping

ummmm no lol

show me a study or some research on that...
for real, this is about the first im seeing on this effect and we have been playing with this for idk 7 years or so...

most get opposite effect.

post in the veteran supplies thread n see if anyone else has this issue, cus I cant think of one post on the other board about this sort of effect.

I might consider other areas to be the issue...

lets put this one to rest real quick...
2 mins on google...

this is the only study sorta thing...

Protective Effects of Curcumin and Sertraline on the Behavioral Changes in Chronic Variable Stress-Induced Rats
that we get form

curcumin compared it to an SSRI

now...

the rest....
seems like total bs....
these ppl are talking doses of less then a g to get maoi effect...
this is fucking placebo city!

curc has shit for oral absorption yet these retards get magic drug effect... 100% bs!

this is pure placebo combined with hypercondriac idiocy and the internet...

I an many others have test these theories with much more and much stronger things.

 

[sabutar]

Thanks for the research LK3, if anything I also saw the sulbutiamine as a nootropic, and it was inexepensive so I figure I take a shot. From my journal I noticed consistant morning wood when I ran out of curcumin. Do you think that low DHT could be a culprit? I am taking 250mg a week of test e (split twice a week) I take .25mg arimidex twice a week. I didn't know there was a veterans supply board, I will post on there.

Agreed

I had to stop taking the injectable curc because of the libido issue… I loved everything else about it though. I am also not on any hormones so it could easily have something to do with that. If anyone does figure out something non-hormonal that fixes it I'd love to find out because I would hop right back on the curc
