    yep, this is how it works, the beta sitosterol content blocks the receptor.

      I found this about beta sitosterol:

      "The effect of beta-sitosterol on sex drive is still under debate. There are some evidence that shows that taking beta-sitosterol supplementation can increase male sex drive and enhance sexual performance. However, there are also contradictory evidence that shows that beta-sitosterol supplements may cause erectile dysfunction. "

        - my dick doesn't feel as full/healthy

        no idea why or what is happening. but head feels better - dick feels worse

        I've been taking toco-8 over a month and nothing, on my second tub, halway done. Going to switch to tocosorb because its more potent. Your penis problem is probably from other meds you take.

            Not sure i get the 'haaaa yes.' Explain?

            I'll come off it and see if my sex drive and dick health goes back up. Guarantee if it does my head will start to itch again!

              you should mention that your on propecia...this potently upregulates the receptors so any decrease in sex drive from the beta sis in the toco will be offset and you will not notice any "sides"

                so toco-8 has me confused:

                im reading in places that it's ingredients reduct testosterone and DHT - yet on their site it talks about increasing testosterone?

                all i know is it's culled my sex drive and my knob is not as full as it was 3 weeks ago.

                its the only thing im taking atm.

                waiting for RU + KB solution

                in effect whats good for your hair/head is bad for your knob and libido?

                  Yes, I'm also taking propecia, well the BIG 3, emu oil, toco8, folligen cream/spray, and Spiro 5%. I want to take RU and RB, but I heard from jazz that it kill his penis. So, Idk I guess it depends how your body takes it. So far, my body is taking it pretty swell lol I never heard of Toco 8 affecting your penis, really odd.

                    eh, where did you read that? Toco-Sorb and Toco-8 use the exact same SupraBio Toco-Min complex. Toco-Sorb is also not all 8 parts of the Vitamin E chain, hence Toco8's name. It only contains the highly available form of Vitamin E. When you see things advertised with Vitamin E they are talking about alpha-tocopherol only.

                      I heard it from bodybuilding.com that Toco8 its not the same has it was when it came out. I should of saved the link, the guy came up with actual facts. That tocosorb, absorbs it better and it contains other great ingredients. It may be BS but it was a lot cheaper then toco8, the other reason why I switch.

                        can someone input into this. i genuinely believe that toco-8 is working at reducing DHT - my head stops itching when i take it and my libido sinks. but literate suggests otherwise...

                          opposite has happened to me.

                          Has to be placebo for you.

                              Dude you just made my day. Wow. NEVER laughed so hard.

                                So what is the conclusion of this thread? Yes or No for Toco-8?
