Thanks chicky.. looks like something I could benefit from esp the benefits it has on the adrenal glands. Are they capsules?

[Dapper]

Word of warning: Some studies have shown that even quite moderate levels of anice (licorice) from candy can cause dramatic drops in male testosterone levels.  This could, theoretically, effect women as well.  Personally, I avoid licorice like the plauge.

Maybe I'll add this to my afternoon dish of supplements...

Thanks Chicky.

Although men don't have hormonal cycles as obvious as those of women, researchers speculate that there may be male cycles as well. Certainly, men experience an annual cycle; a man's testosterone levels rise in the fall and drop in the spring. Studies from Syracuse University in New York, Wittenberg University in Ohio and Georgia State University show that it isn't only seasonal changes that affect a man's hormones. Emotional events also have an effect”both love and war sharply increase testosterone levels. A man's hormone level also increases after a success, such as earning a degree or winning an athletic prize, and even during everyday speech.

Experiencing hormone changes as one grows older is not limited to women; recent research indicates that men undergo similar changes. Many of the symptoms of male menopause are surprisingly similar to those experienced by women during menopause”irritability, anxiousness, fatigue, hot flashes, night sweats and decreased libido. British research indicates that a substance called sex hormone binding globulin (or SHBG), which increases with age, makes the tissues in a man's body resistant to testosterone. So even if a man has a fairly high testosterone level, the hormone's action will be diminished.

What to do when male menopause hits? The treatment is similar to the one suggested for women. Strengthen your adrenal glands so that they can take over the responsibility of producing sufficient male hormones, and tone your liver to help it properly detoxify hormones circulating in your blood.

The same herbs used to increase physical stamina” Siberian ginseng, shizandra, licorice and ginseng”are some of the best choices to help you get through male menopause. You can try making the formula below, or you can use ginseng by itself. This herb is available in several forms, including the whole plant or root, or as tea, tincture, semi-solid extract (which is stirred into hot water) or various pills. One way to use the whole root is to soak it in a jar of water and bite off a small amount every morning. Kept in the refrigerator, a root will last about two weeks.

Male Change Formula

1 ounce tincture of ginseng root

½ ounce each Siberian ginseng root, shizandra seed and licorice root

Combine ingredients. Take half a dropperful once or twice a day.

Bought some today.. although they are out of the liquid form. I hope the capsules I got are just as good. It was a great excuse to ask the cute employee where the stuff was at    shame on me... anyways it says 3 caps 3x/day... that's a lot :x Might just start off with half the dosage.

What is the recommended dosage, do you know chicky?

Well, dunno if it's just me but I already feel it workin on my hormones/adrenals. I feel a lot more relaxed. I think I shall continue with it anyways since I'm on topical steroids, and maybe it will help out with the damage they do on my adrenal glands etc...

Thanks chicky!

Yes chicky they are already helping my skin a lot! I've already tried so many supplements so I've cut down to the ones that help the most, but the licorice root has already helped.

Kelp tablets? Well I do take supergreens powder which is a concentrated form of different sea algaes etc.. and I think it has kelp in it Thanks for the info on the mushrooms... etc. I will consider that one

chicky -

Here's a page from a site that talks about licorice. I went to their homepage and bookmarked the site for future reference.
http://dreampharm.com/zlicorice.asp

According to my Smithsonian Handbook of Herbs, licorice can also be used to treat bronchitis.
It's reduces inflammation, allergies, asthma, gastritis, peptic ulcers, rheumatism and sore throats. It helps the liver to detoxify drugs and is given for liver disease. Licorice strengthens the immune system, stimulates the adrenal gland and can be used as a diaretic and a laxative. The roots contain glycyrhizin, which is 50 times sweeter than sugar.

WARNING: Do not use licorice if you have high blood pressure.

[wendianne]

Yeah, licorice is used to raise blood pressure if you have low. My daughter was having dizzy/fainting spells from low blood pressure so we checked it out for her. She doesn't like swallowing pills though so it was a no go. Instead she increased her salt intake when she started feeling dizzy.

This stuff rocks!!!!!!!

Yeah, that is what I've noticed too chicky! The stress thing even within hours after taking it the first day - therefore skin calmed down. Great stuff I say! 

[backitup]

ok question guy's.....for those of you who take the liquid, how much and how are you taking it daily? same question for the ones who are taking the pill's. I;d like to try this ....

[woof.]

The one I'm taking are the capsules.. cheaper and works just as good - the vitamin store I go to didn't have the liquid available. It says take 3 caps 3x/day and has 1.35g (1350 mg) per 3 caps. I'm only taking about 6 a day, sometimes only one dose (3 caps) and is good enough for me. But if you want the full benefits and effects, you should take the recommended dosage on the bottle. Good luck if you try this backitup
