It definitely can. I've used it 3 times and I can distinctly recall all 3 times having people comment on changes in my physique within 10 days or so of starting the SD...it's definitely the closest thing to magic I've seen in an oral, the stuff works fast. I'm about to start a 3 week cycle of injectable SD for the first time, high expectations for that. Just waiting on a tattoo to heal up so I can get back in the gym in a week or so.
