Share your sorghum experience

5AR inhibition I believe

There was a human study showing that fenugreek didn't lower DHT, which makes me think it's another one of the in vitro findings that aren't replicated in vivo.

@Hans you could try and replace the honey with sorghum syrup in your shake. The sugar from the syrup + pro 5AR properties can be potentially pretty androgenic combo post workout

I wanted to buy I can't find sorghum syrup in SA unfortunately.

In Europe we have this sorgho pasta and it tastes good (not as good as normal pasta but it’s OK)

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

Interesting. I have replaced most grain in my baking with sorghum, {along with a bit of oats, coconut flour, masa harina, etc.,} and never made the connection, but I noticed the morning wood and other times, things were like my younger days, maybe even better. I wrote it off to taking some zinc before bed, but now I am wondering if the sorghum is having the effect. Which ever, I like what is happening on that front {pun intended}.

@Hans and others here, try this sorghum pancake/crepe recipe.

Whisk together 80 g sorghum flour + 0.3 liter milk + 2 eggs. Heat up a nonstick pan, add butter and pour in enough of the sorghum pancake mix to coat the entire pan. Cook for a couple minutes on each side until golden brown.

It tastes amazing!

I tried it as well and noticed very potent anti-androgenic effects. I've heard this anecdote from many others. Just use caution

Nice! Do you know roughly how much you're having a day?

Thanks for the recipe, I'll have to give it a shot.

Nice! Do you know roughly how much you're having a day?

I make breakfast bars and a savory type bar that I eat daily. I am just guessing here, but I would say anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sorghum? It is hard to tell, I would have to somehow calculate it out, lol, but that is my best guess. I am wondering if the daily consistency is just as important as the amount, in terms of getting the effects you mentioned. I originally went with sorghum because it is about 80% insoluble fiber, just like coconut flour, and no gluten, better on digestion and metabolism, and did not know anything about the effects on DHT, etc. I am one of the members that includes a bit of starch in my diet, but I do well with starch, so I don't find it a problem, but I look for starches that don't have as many issues, and, everything is organic.

topical sorghum syrup to the testes for ultimate DHT conversion.

 

[abentabet]

Off topic, but I’ll trial this stack next week :

3g DAA
10mg boron
SNS Fadogia + SNS bulbine
ND Cistanche + lot of eggs for cholesterol
ND Fenugreek

May be I’ll add some sorghum but I think that bulbine is enough for aromatase

May be it will give a little boost or do nothing like most natural supplements

What’s your thoughts ?

Added P5P and just bought a lot of these :

INGREDIENTS Sorghum * (89.5%), amaranth * (10%) sea salt *, (* certified organic ingredient)

It will replace some of my rice/potatoes meals, I’ll keep you in touch about project Mbappé

 

[Mossy]

That's a bummer. How did you consume it?

I steamed it, like rice, on the stove top; as well as popping it, like popcorn. I like it, and am looking to try it again. If I notice any pro-DHT effects, I'll report back.

Sorgum bring my morning wood back. Feeling warm after eating it. I used red sorghum grains in my waffles (grind them in a mill). However I noticed that when I make them with milk like oatmeal i don't feel this warm effect. Maybe due to too high processing temperature

 

[Coderr]

Is there a difference between red and white sorghum?

 

[TheLA5]

I never tried white sorghum

Buy Bontasana 100% Sorghum Maccheroni. Naturally gluten-free, organic, Halal, Kosher, and vegan pasta in plastic-free packaging.

Dr Kirk had 1 tbsp of sorghum syrup, which would be super concentrated.

Therefore, I'd imagine one must have a copious amount of sorghum flour products to match the 21g of sorghum syrup?

I did just grab some sorghum syrup and I'll report back.
