One of the many questions I am asked nowadays, and a question well-posed (probably too often) on forums, is if Proviron can match up to the potency, or rather, efficacy, of dopamine agonists in boosting ones libido (sex drive). That's an easy question to answer, as long as you know science. So let's break it down, shall we?
First, Proviron is not and never will be a Prolactin inhibitor [1] [2] [3].
Second, Proviron is not a test-booster, its a DHT-analogue, a DHT-steroid [4] [5].
Third, Proviron improves libido in most men, but particularly, those who already have an androgen deficiency [6] [7], or sub-optimal Testosterone levels [8] [9], and 'enhances' libido in those with high-normal testosterone levels [10] [11].
This means that there's no way in hell, that Proviron can be compared to dopamine agonists in light of its mechanism of action, and its purported dependencies.
Make no mistake though, Proviron is great for libido, its just NOT a dopamine agonist, it doesn't work on the spinal cord and really not with the nervous system. It does act within the Brain, but not as a direct effect on sexual reflexes. Now, Proviron has tremendous benefit in the bodybuilding community, it is without a doubt, one of the most useful compounds out there, but it has to be classified right.
...Otherwise we are putting Eggs in an Apple basket.
- If you have a Prolactin issue, you want a dopamine agonist, simple as that.
- If you don't have a dopamine issue or Prolactin, you probably don't need a dopamine-agent.
- If you abused dopaminergics and dopamine agonists in the past, you probably have a dopamine issue that isn't repairable by an agonist alone.
- If you are looking for a libido-enhancement and you have no androgen deficiency, no Prolactin issue, and no other hormonal problems, then Proviron may well be perfect for you.
- If you DO have low T levels, you should at least use some Testosterone with it, either something like Aquatest or AndroGel if you want a gel.
So that's that, 'IGHT???
IGHT!!!
