I feel silly asking this. (Stuff about the Flavone family)

Anyways, so one group of supplements that i don't really know a whole lot about is Methoxyisoflavone, Isoflavone, and Ecdysterone. I've been doing my usual stay up till 2am research thing and really have gotten mixed reviews. Some people say it doesn't do much or anything, other say they are the best thing ever and basically get off about it.

Theres a big thread on bb.com forums that i read - here it is: PURE Ecdysterone: Mother Nature's Favorite STEROID? - Bodybuilding.com Forums

Some people say it rocks other say it doesn't, the one guy compares it to anavar, which is ludicrous. not the rapper.

Basically I wanted to get some opinions from anyone who has had EXPERIENCE with these supplements. Chances are i'll say forget it and go eat some tuna but I would like to know.

Oh, another side note, which was interesting, someone on that thread was talking about how its a plant hormone that basically gives anabolic effects without androgenic effects, which is why its so great. I don't really believe this, however, if it does have any anabolic activity like that is it possible it would shut you down? Doesn't seem like it but that would be a good thing to know if it actually does work.

Ecdysterone is considered a great supplement by many. I haven't personally used it before and my knowledge is quite limited on it but i do know LBJ is an advocate of the supplement so maybe asking him would be an option.

i did a cycle of it.

i used it with DHEA and i got the extra aggression and libido. this could have just been the DHEA though.

i did the 2am research too, and the only decent results i found was cycled with DHEA. i remember that one of the many banned prohormes was simply a stack of ectdysterone, DHEA, and something else you can legally buy seperately.

my advice, look up the combo stack and try to find ingredients to the common prohormones.

also, i work out hard enough that i can get results if im swalling dog **** pills.

chances are, you do to, so what have you got to lose by taking it?
