Performance Edge® introduces the latest in researched and scientifically-advanced ingredients. D-Aspartic Acid, an innovative breakthrough in cutting-edge performance nutrition, is now available as a high-quality, 100% pharmaceutical-grade daily supplement.

DAA stimulation increases cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the "receiving" nerves. In the neuroendocrine axis (the hypothalamus and pituitary), DAA enhances the release of GnRH (the hormone that tells the pituitary that testosterone concentration is falling), as well as the production of two other hormones, oxytocin and vasopressin.1,2

In a study published in the journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology,3 performed by scientists and physicians in Italy, the role and mechanisms of DAA relating to testosterone and LH in humans and rats was evaluated and reported. To summarize the study's finding: DAA was found to accumulate in the pituitary and testes (in rats); in humans, DAA increased circulating (blood) LH by 33 percent (p<0.0001) and testosterone concentration by 42 percent (p<0.0082) on average, in men aged 27-37 years, after taking slightly more than 3 grams a day, orally.

Let us know how you go mate - if it elevates blood levels of testosterone it can only help you in adding mass but sifting through the hype can be frustrating.

I always thought the Pituitary Gland was GH and testes were Testosterone....didn't realise that Pituitary had anything to do with Testosterone.
