Pistachios for Harder Erections - Study Inside

This is really interesting! The significant decrease in testosterone kind of puts me off going for the high levels used in the study, but maybe I'll start eating them as a snack.

It seems like an iffy scenario. Raising EQ via the cholesterol benefits, but lowering DHT/testosterone due to phytosterol content.

Seems like all patients had the drop in T levels which is worrying. I don't see why it wouldn't though since it does contain phytosterols (probably mainly beta sitosterol which is known to be very potent).

Wouldn't be something I would take long term or @ all if bad EQ was the result of lower T levels.

Someone might be better off taking citrulline or/with a natural PDE5i.

It does also contain zinc which increases testosterone, but in some studies, blocks t to DHT (read @ peaktestosterone that in some it can increase DHT ( :| )).

Hmmmm I may give this a try. I just started adding raw oysters into my diet more often. Have always liked them but being more serious about PE has me making them a staple.
 
I find it weird that the publication is written using "we" or "our", something I have almost never seen in papers.

but Lightning, thanks for the article... seems promising.

Have you done anything differently out of your normal daily routine to assess that such erections are being part of the added "pistachios" in your diet?

Nothing different. But the pistachios are definitely giving me harder morning wood.
They are expensive however, I'm paying $13.00 for a 1lb. Bag that lasts 4 days.

How fast did you get results? Less than a week? (<7 days)
Have you noticed more sporadical boners throughout the day?
Do you get more easily aroused than before?
Have u noticed any other positive results during the trial?

Within the first 7 days I started noticing better EQ in my morning wood. Sporadical boners didn't happen to me. Not really much more than extra hard morning wood. When I grab my dick some mornings it feels much bigger.
 
Cool... keep us posted.

I will be scouting the market and see if I get a good price for France, since I live here for now.

Thanks for the information provided mate!
 
That's a pretty cool study. I never saw pistachios as a food that would help EQ. I'm eager to see LIGHTNING's results after a month or so.

It it seems like there's defintely cheaper alternatives, though, as well as alternatives that don't drop T levels. Maybe take Citrulline Malate, since one of the main factors in this study is the Arginine, as well as a fat that promotes good cholesterol levels and helps T levels, like coconut oil.
 
pistachio pesto is the best!
 
So far so good. I have been extra hard in the mornings and need to jerk the morning wood (if the my lady doesn't) and then again shortly after. So I am seeing some real noticeable results. The price of Pistachios are expensive but the results have been really good so far.

Definitely looking into this. Love pesto!

It is soooooo good!

4 cups fresh basil leaves (from about 3 large bunches)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup pistachio nuts
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino Sardo or Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

Boom!

Coconut oil is really good for you in so many ways. If you Swish 2 Tablespoons in your mouth for 5-10 minutes every morning it has many good results in oral health as well as many other benefactors.

I usually consume around 3 TBSP a day in some form, but I've been meaning to try out the swishing in the mouth. I've heard it's amazing for your teeth and gums.

Damn 3tbsp a day. That's gotta work out to be pretty expensive huh? Seems to be one of the cheaper oils though compared to others that are healthy. I was looking into bulk olive oil purchases, but read that most olive oils are diluted and not 100% pure. There are a few websites out there that do studies by purchasing olive oil, taking it to a lab and testing it's quality/purity. I think walmarts brand seems to be up in there air on quality, costco seems to be legit though, but I don't live near one :( .

Mountain Rose is the cheapest source Ive found. It's 'refined' organic coconut oil @:
1gal(128oz) = $32 + $16.74 shipping = $48.74 ($0.380 per oz)
5gal(640oz) = $136 + $47.75 shipping = $183.75 ($0.287 per oz)

Sucks because some people say you need unrefined for certain things like applying on skin and eating, but cooking/oil pulling seems to okay w/ any.
Going to have to look into that a bit deeper. Unrefined is damned expensive.

Not sure what you're paying, but nuts.com sometimes has good prices on stuff: http://www.nuts.com/search?q=Pistachio (they have a bunch of different types)
Better buying in bulk since most things you probably wont save much when shipping prices are factored in.

You can also get pistachio oil for around $12 per 8oz @ some sites. Not sure if this is cost effective or not though, since it's around $10 per 1lb w/o shells @ some places.
Just depends on how much oil can be extracted from a 1 lb bag of pistachios. Doubt it's anywhere near 1 lb since there are also other contents of the nut that wouldn't make an oil and would have to be filtered out.

I do it a few times a week. Make mouth feel really fresh and clean. I use about 1 tbs to swish with.

I'm not rich but always go for high quality which is more pricy but highly recommend others do the same. But then again i choose to not have TV and stuff like that so I can spend my money on what i consider necessity.

Just an opinion and thanks for the very helpful brand and price break down.

I definitely pay a little bit more for the good stuff, but it's worth it in my opinion, just like it is with anything of high quality. I always watch Tropicaltraditions.com for their 2 gallon/$99 special. Shipped, it comes out to about $130 I think, but it lasts me a few months and I use it on my skin, hair, beard, and cook with it.

Do you spit it out once you swish? Or do you just swallow it?

Is this a trick question? You just asked if I spit or swallow hahahahha

I spit it out. and I only swish for a 1 or 2 mins. after that it is just a lot of saliva.

Most of the info out there about it is a bunch of mumbo jumbo BS. It's called oil pulling. People say to swish for 20 minutes and it pull out toxins and other BS like that. It does not!!.

Coconut and its oil are naturally bacteriostatic (kills bacteria). Way better option that and alcohol based mouth was that burns the mouth. If someone said here use this soap on your body, it'll just burn really bad for 30 seconds your body and kill all bacteria (many of which are good for you) I'd say fuck off. So why do it with my mouth.

Hahaha I didn't even think of that as I typed it out! And I've read a little on oil pulling (though I've never done it) and I just can't get on board with the claims either. I'll give the coconut oil a go as mouthwash and see how I feel after a week or two. Thanks!
