Bigger balls and damiana - works for me!

Definitely worked for me - just got tired of taking so many pills (as there are other supps I take). Balls got fuller as some have put it and noticeably so and while my boys are high & tight, I just got done with producing the phenomena after several months (that, and not knowing the mechanisms that make the contents of one’s scrotum to swell!).

Best,

QL

What’s the most effective way of taking it? Just mix it with water and drink in case you don’t have capsules? Or might making tea out of it be better?

Damiana does nothing for me.

I thought it was supposed to be an aphrodisiac (to me it isn’t).

Never heard anywhere it makes balls grow.

It works very well for me. I am on TRT and damiana works slightly better than HCG to increase size at a fraction of the cost. I don’t even use HCG regularly now.

I drink damiana as a tea, a few cups a day.

How much (mg) Damiana do you use for tea daily and are you boiling water?

I half fill a tea infuser tong like the one below. This works out at 2g almost exactly (just weighed it). Then let it steep in a mug of boiling water for 5-10 minutes. I probably drink between 3 and 8 cups per day I would guess. I’ve never really tested out what the required or optimum amount is although I suspect 3 is probably a bit low.

So you refill your mug 3-8 a day with the initial 2g Damiana?

I throw away the damiana after each use and refill with new damiana each time, so 3-8 mugs means 6-16 grams per day of damiana.

And no adverse effects?

I’ve got "Black Swan Damiana" 1000mg, says Extract, but no other info. I have asked the eBay seller before and they said it’s just the raw herb powder. I take 2-3 per day. I may try upping the dose to 4g per day split into 2 doses.

I have been feeling like my balls are aching a little bit, like they are full and need to release my sperm. I don’t know if this is due to Damiana or from the other vitamins / herbs I take (I’ve heard Arginine can make balls heavy).
I can’t say that my balls feel especially big.

This page: Damiana: An Ancient Aphrodisiac says typical dosage is 2g - 4g per day, so I think upping the dose might be ok as long as a lower dose has not shown any adverse effects. It also says "three times a day", so does that mean 2-4g * 3 per day I.e. 6g-12g per day?

High doses (200g?) make you hallucinate - I hope there’s no risk of that at say 20g per day.

I’m unsure if there’s any issues with taking Damiana and then driving / operating machinery. So far not noticed anything but worth keeping this in mind.

Nothing so far.

A follow-up on Damiana:

I started taking 250mg capsules several months ago. After a few days my scrotum was much larger and firmer. No change in the actual testicles though.

After about three weeks the effects began to decline, as others have reported. I took two weeks off, then started another three week cycle.

For the last month and some, I’ve been taking only one 250mg capsule every five to seven days. It was mostly from laziness. I’m getting maybe 75% of the effect of the “on” part of the on/off cycle.

I was reviewing my daily log when I noticed this. Hah! Every now and then, it pays off.

I will continue the “maintenance dose” schedule for another few months, then report back.

Damiana isn’t expensive, and the on/off cycle isn’t onerous; I’m mostly just curious as to how large of a dose I actually need. I’ve found that most supplements have a “recommended dose” four to six times more than where I notice the effects leveling off.

Interesting thread.

@QL, @AndyJ, are you guys still taking this? Were the testicle size changes permanent or did the size decline in off-cycles or after stopping?
