Constantly running Test Booster products? - 30 October 2009 11:50
  Is there any problem constantly using Test booster products? (Mass FX, cissus drol, testabolan V2, Gaspari novedex, etc.)
 
 So say using one certain product for 4-8 weeks then going onto a different brand/product type and just doing this all year long,  as these products are not supposed to shut down natural testosterone rather enhance what you have,  Is there any benefit to stopping for 4 weeks, then starting a new product and so on?

I think conflicting reports always come out every few months about this sort of thing. So imo its best to cycle them just in case.

yes there is a problem.

There are essentially two main ingredients used by companies;

1 - An aromatise inhibitor (ATD, 6-bromo)
2 - Divanil (stinging nettle root)

the problem with using option 1 for extended periods of time is that your body uses oestrogen for many purposes.  An example is for healthy joints, tendons and ligaments.  Oestrogen is actually anabolic within tendons and ligaments.  Another point is that your body will most likely adapt to the AI and doses will need to be constantly increased to gain the same effect.

Divanil acts to antagonise the effects of SHBG.  So essentially, it frees up testosterone for the body to use.  It has been observed that the body reacts rather quickly to divanil and it's effects are less apparant after 4 weeks, whilst continually diminishing the longer it is ran. 

The solution is to use such products in 'cycles' just as you would with most products, and not to overuse them.

I would say that anything over 3-4 cycles of 'test-boosters' within a year is excessive

i agree - if u stay on any of those for too long 3-4 months, when u come off and after prolonged use your wrists and ankles will feel really weak and will ache like mad
