The reason I started the novedex, was because a buddy of mine recommended it to me. My buddy was diagnosed with Very Low TEST by a physician. He was on replacement therapy ( roids by prescription ), and had been for several months. He would go in and get blood work done once a month to make sure he wasn't too low on TEST. A buddy of his told him to try novedex, so he did. He took 3 per night before bed, 2 weeks later he went in to get his blood work done as usual. Normally with the TEST replacement he would have just slightly low TEST, but this time his test was way high. His doctor was surprised, and he told her about the novedex. She told him to stop taking it, as it made it hard for to know if the therapy was working. He recommened it to me because he knew first hand that it worked. I tried it and within two weeks I noticed a definate difference. I felt stronger in the gym, more focused, I slept better. Plus it killed my SEX drive, but in my case thats a good thing, as I don't get paid to jack off all day. I also got a bit of roid rage. Start to feel like starting fights with people at the gym who don't put their weights back on the racks when they are done.
My Stats
I am 6' 4" and I weigh about 230. Before I started taking the novedex I was around 212.
I still only take 2-3 at night before bed. You could probably take 4, I just never felt the need.
I don't think it would really matter what you take it with.
I have never been tested, but my buddy was and he said it worked.
I recommend it to anyone who feels they have low test.
I have never tried roids, so I couldn't compare.
