I wanted to chime in here because everyday, I am living the health challenge. Previously, a health challenge to me just simply meant exercising and being physically active and fit. I never saw it from a dietary point of view.....Hell, I wouldn't have been involved if it hadn't been for a few members who's experience helped me to become a believer in giving some of these new things a try.
A month ago, I started supplementing Epimedium with Maca Root Extract to determine if it did enhance one's own natural pheromone signature. Yes these supplements are natural. As a matter of fact, they are some of ingredients that are used in the sex pills and enhancement thread.
When I was using it, I'll contemplate adding pheromones here and there, but more often than not, the interactions with people felt gorgeously fluid enough that it felt unnecessary. I can't even make the comparison to other pheromone products cause I'd dare say that it beats out a whole lot of my complete collection.
If anyone wants to try this out, I'm giving you a warning to know that you may need to rethink your pheromone dosing.
Living life on the dangerous side when taking these supplements and pheromones for me is dressing up in Menswear clothing, going out on a Friday night being all like "
I'M LIEK SO MAD MEN RITE NOW!!!!11111", while wearing 1-2 drops of Hypnotica social.
I know saying "
You have to eat healthier" is blanket "
WELL NO SHIT!" statement but this is America people. We have to actually make a concious effort to eat healthy. Being the healthiest than I've ever been in my life, I feel virile, confident, and attractive and I can witness it in other people's reaction when my vibrancy exudes from the pores ;)
Put two versions of me in the same room. One in my current healthy situation and the other who while was still exercising, he was eating junk food, soda, mcdumpsters, the works. I can guarantee you that you'll see a difference pheromonally between the two.
But wait, are you sure this isn't a plac-
I'm positive this works cause I'm not about to lay some really generic "
I'm not sure if it's a placebo effect or something..." . line. I can feel a difference in my body from my former, less healthier base state. I want people to try this just because of how surprised they'll be learning otherwise. Go ahead, try to prove me wrong. After all, it's just a "placebo" effect that I'm experiencing, right?
Epimedium and Maca Root Extract gives me that 'Seize-the-Day' mentality. Because Epimedium and Maca root, elevates levels of pheromones that are within a believable ratio, people will react better. You'll have any easier time attracting people of compatible MHC AND the magic won't die when the pheromones are gone.

Just to give the reader and idea behind each supplement:
Epimedium
Quote:Theory:
The use of epimedium as a medicinal herb dates back to at least 400 A.D., where it has been used as a tonic for the reproductive system (boosting libido and treating impotence) and as a rejuvenating tonic (to relieve fatigue). Epimedium is thought to work via modulation of cortisol levels (the primary stress hormone). Under conditions of high stress, the increased cortisol levels are known to cause fatigue and depress sex drive - so bringing cortisol levels back into normal ranges is also thought to help restore normal metabolism, energy levels and libido.
Scientific Support:
Animal studies have shown that epimedium may function a bit like an adaptogen (such as cordyceps, rhodiola, ashwagandha, and ginseng) by increasing levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine when they are low (an energy-promoting effect), but reducing cortisol levels when they are elevated (an anti-stress effect). There is also evidence that epimedium can restore low levels of both testosterone and thyroid hormone (bringing low levels back to their normal levels) - which may account for some of the benefits of epimedium in improving libido (sex drive). Animal studies using epimedium have shown a reduction in bone breakdown, an increase in muscle mass, and a loss of body fat-each of which may be linked to the observed return of abnormal cortisol levels back to normal values (and rhythm). In a series of studies conducted in humans and animals by Chinese researchers, immune-system function was directly suppressed and bone loss was accelerated, by using high-dose synthetic cortisol (glucocorticoid drugs). Subsequent administration of epimedium extract reduced blood levels of cortisol and improved immune immune-system function (in the humans) and slowed bone loss and strengthened bones (in the animals).
Maca Root Extract
Quote:Maca
Maca is an annual plant, which is used as a 'medicinal herb' and 'root vegetable'. The plant is native to Bolivia and Andes mountains in Peru. Its bionomical name is Lepidium meyenii. This plant is a member of radish family and is rich in potassium and calcium even more than what milk contains. It is one of the best medicines that is bestowed to us by Nature and its medicinal properties are ample in number, thus it is called the 'Superfood of Andes'.
The components of its root are vitamin B1, B2 and C, alkaloids, micro and macro nutrients, carbohydrates, fiber, proteins, fatty acids, sodium, potassium, calcium, tannins, bismuth, copper, zinc, fructose, iron, manganese, phosphorus, silicon, starch and magnesium. It has 4 unique alkaloids (macaina 1, 2, 3, 4) that are found nowhere in any other plant.
Let's take a look at the health benefits of this root extract.
- It enhances energy and restores stamina and vitality.

- It contains isothiocyanate compounds, which can combat cancers.
- The extract eases up menstrual pain and maintains proper menstrual cycle.
- When consumed with a balanced diet, it ensures proper functioning of our glandular system.
- Tannin found in maca, helps in the treatment of diarrhea, while silicon cures broken tissues in our body.
- It stimulates Graafian follicles and thereby, increases fertility in women.
