when there are trials for studies they use techniques like, (50%) boost or (50%) decrease but it’s impossible for most things that aren’t measurable to have a percentage, for example, depression, or mood, so saying something under the lines of “users reported a 37% boost in libido” it means 37% of users felt that, which the placebo effect is real.

The most common one I see that is absolutely horrible is , “sprinting increases growth hormone by 700%” if you were smart enough you would know that your baseline growth hormone is basically zero, and multiplying that by 7 will not do anything. When you are sleeping it increases above 30,000%

Bottom line: do your own research

Thank you for saying this, I had to explain to this Negroid that his study was flawed for this exact reason.
How they measure the percentages matter more than the actual number at the end of the day

Agreed for the most part and good take, but this also opens to people resorting to cherrypicking more often or using low quality sources to confirm their biases, which often leads to more misinformation spreading around. The solution would be to trust replicated evidence and mechanisms over a single study as many users on here and other forums do and sleep mogs all for natural gh.

1. Yeah I get that, especially when they say something has dangerous side effects but in their "test" they used a mouse and injected it with 10 times a humans dose, completely inaccurate and stupid

2. Most people don't have the equipment, time, or money to do their own tests

I wrote this at a maximum 3rd grade comprehension level

Anyone could. It's just mostly wrong. No offense, but it simply reads as someone who doesn't know how to read a study.

saying something under the lines of “users reported a 37% boost in libido” it means 37% of users felt that, which the placebo effect is real.

No, that would not be what it means. If a study reports a 37% increase in self-reported libido, it typically means the average score on a libido scale increased by 37% from baseline. It wouldn't be that 37% of people felt something. Those are genuinely different claims. I honestly have no idea why someone would conflate them.

You are correct but the concept is completely flawed. Libido is something you cannot measure with statistics, just words. Restating what I said, the placebo effect is real
