    Fadogia Agrestis

    Fadogia agrestis is a shrub native to West Africa, traditionally used in Nigerian folk medicine as an aphrodisiac and vitality enhancer. It has gained popularity in the supplement space primarily for its potential to support healthy testosterone levels through stimulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) production.

    “I've been taking fadogia for some period of time. All my markers and tests indicate that there's no toxicity. But I've been taking 600 milligrams per day, cycling it for about 8 to 12 weeks on and then a few weeks off.”
