So, one of the things to keep in mind is how much of the gains in strength, fat loss, weight loss, etc. are from the product and how much from the program. In the end, what&#8217;s probably most important was that using IsaTest was one of the things that helped me stay in the harness. The product clearly produced libido effects. I experienced &#8220;morning wood&#8221; more frequently and as Elissa can attest, was fairly frisky over the first six weeks or so of using the product. Libido felt like it declined during the last few weeks, which could have been the result of becoming acclimitized to the product; or it could have been stress-related. It would be interesting to start another course of IsaTest in a few months to see if this happens again. In terms of strength, the gains were steady but nothing dramatic; I raised weight in the exercises I was doing over the couple of months I used the product &#8211; at the same time, I can&#8217;t rule out the role the eating and training had in those gains. While these might be &#8220;mixed&#8221; results, I may try IsaTest again in the future, for the libido kick if nothing else.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Personally, I see these results as applicable to herbal test boosters in general, not IsaTest in particular&#8230;I have confidence in iSatori&#8217;s QC and feel the formula is probably about as good as it gets for this type of supplement. I also feel pretty confident, however, that whatever effects that could be attributed to the supplement were NOT testosterone-related, so other mechanisms (such as antioxidant activity or Viagra-like phosphodiesterase inhibition) were likely responsible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got the blood test results back&#8230;here are John&#8217;s final numbers from April 9th through May 30: Weight: 214 lbs. to 208 lbs.
