gabba-testicular axis!

ac · 10-09-2001, 11:24 AM

A while ago i tried taking gabba. It says that it realines the testicular axis. Lately i've been reading up on steroids and i found out that their effects on the testicular axis can cause you to become infertile. Is this the same with gabba? Can gabba lower your fretility? What do you all think, should i be worried?
thanks

I've never heard of this, can somebody else help out?

I thought that steroids caused infertility because it causes testicular atrophy, since your testicles stop producing testosterone due to the excess amounts in your body.

Regulation of testicular production occurs via a negative feedback loop system involving the anterior pituitary, hypothalamus, and testicles; referred to as the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis.

Any prohormone supplement or steroid can interfere with this axis, even the supplement tribulus.

Eventually, yes they will. It depends on how "off balance" you get your hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis. It could take several months.

is there anything that can speed the process up?

Well, I'm not a endocrinologist, so I do not think I can give much more advice.

But, really only time can get your hormones re-balanced. There are different drugs that can simulate all of the hormones involved, and under a doc's supervision, they can probably help.

But if you're just going to use a over the counter supplement, I would not get overly concerned with this. Just make sure you cycle it.
