While looking to supplement my budding program with a different AA I went for Reishi. Once I arrived at my search results page on Swanson I realized that there were quite a few variants. I was interested in the following—

I really like the idea of liquid extracts where possible. I was wondering if some of the folks that have/had reishi in their programs would lend me their experiences.

Thanks so much

I have used the middle one. Lotus likes extracts generally. I don't know which is better.

Thanks Spanky, If liquid was out of the question that would probably be my choice too. Are you having good results with it?

Honestly, I cannot tell exactly what the Reishi is doing. I think it has generally positive health effects in addition to a kind of AA effect.

I do know that the combination of PM and WP is making my nipples quite sensitive, and my breasts fuller. Whether there is any real growth beyond what I had a few months ago, I am not sure.

I've been taking WP for a couple months now, although I only just started up PM a month ago. I'm only taking 1000 mg/day and slowly working my way up. I'm hoping that I too get increased nipple sensitivity.

I've been taking PSO for the last two months as an AA and for other health benefits. It seems to be doing a little to knock down my DHT, but I want to supplement it with something else other than SP.

Hi all, I just got a new delivery of reishi today - the Swanson 600mg capsules.

The bottle recommends two capsules per day - a total of 1,200mg daily.

My question is: is that enough? I'm also on 2,000mg of PM daily.

I would suggest to follow label directions. I myself have gained about 1 1/2 cup sizes since last October just on 1200mg of PM, I also use White Peony for conversion of T and DHT into estrogen. And I use Progesterone Cream about every other day to help gland and fullness growth.

Hope this helps

Thank you, iaboy! I shall do that then. I just wondered whether I should take more, as we do with the PM (the bottle states 1,000mg per day but the "baseline", from what I've read on here for a male is 2,000mg).

May I also ask how much WP you take daily?

TP, like I posted above, I think the most ever PM in one day, that I took was 2000mg, just too much for me. I had diarrhea and headaches for like 2 days. Of course, I am 60 as well, so you may end up having to take more. But I am a firm believer in starting out slow so the body can adjust.

Also, I use the Ainterol's xtract, so the delivery is quicker, and more complete. (waste of product is reduced) Even though my Doctor checked out my basic male hormones, of which T was at mid level, I think my Free T is high, so why not aromatize it into E, plus with the PM, that is why I think my growth has been so good.

But, that's me. Take a look at my progress pics and see for yourself. I would hate for you to flush a lot of herbs literally down and toilet, get headaches and such. You can always up your dose with more knowledge, and less liver and pancreas stress if need be.

Thank you again! Well, I've been doing NBE for four months today as it happens. I have a little budding and a fair bit of nipple sensitivity - but nothing to see yet. Wish the growth would hurry up!

As for starting small, I know what you mean. I had horrible ocular migraines for a time when I first started but thankfully haven't had one for a while now.

Shall check out your pics. Do you have a link to them, to save me searching?
