The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
Ashwagandha is another thing that looks pretty promising. Seems to increase testosterone modestly. They've shown increases in lean mass. I don't think the increase in testosterone explains the increase in lean mass. It's just not a big enough increase.

I did notice differences in your blood results as we were expecting you had high you went above the nor the normal range for DHEA and total testosterone I think when we started it so yeah every time I start it in someone you get like um big response in testosterone not so much free testosterone which is interesting but • DHEA as well and that is • consistent with the couple of randomize control trials where they yeah they've used that to increase muscle muscle growth • rates and testosterone as well
as you age you know your testosterone decreases and your free testosterone decreases and your DHEA decreases so this is like an endogenous way of stimulating your body to secrete more of those things rather than relying on um you know DHEA pills or um uh testosterone exog testosterone sources like patches
it raises testosterone too but not an amount that would it doesn't raise the testosterone or lower cortisol enough to where it explains the changes in lean mass so this could be like a a matrix thing again where there's like acting on Multi multiple pathways summing up to an outcome
