I can attest to the effectiveness of orchic (perhaps in conjunction with butea superba, boron, and zinc). I am also doing a lot of cycling which has developed my thighs and calves noticeably, and my legs are getting a lot hairier. I feel great and feel really good about how my body looks.It was a combination of low dose pde-5 inhibitor type herbs, orchic, and lots of squatting type movements.

Are you still using it ?Yes I’ve noticed a fuller more musculature look as well, whilst getting leaner. And yeah I’ve noticed the stimulating aspect too, but it hasn’t effected my sleep much. If anything I see it as a positive, in having more energy. So it’s a plus in my case. This has honestly become my new favorite food/supplement.
Yes, I still take it from time to time, but not as often as I was previously. Now my preferred method is using the grounds as a spice, to sprinkle in my meats when cooking them, I.e. beef, lamb, bison, etc. My previous method of ingestion, consistently and over time, led to a very hyper-metabolic/thermogenic state and I actually began losing too much weight. Which I suppose for some, could be seen as a plus. I’m already lean (6-9% BF), so beyond that I tend to lose mostly muscle, in combination with my physically demanding job and lifestyle.Are you still using it ?
I've taken some today and I started sweating after 30 minutes or so.
That is insanely lean wow, but good to know that it helped with weight loss.Yes, I still take it from time to time, but not as often as I was previously.

There's always some non responders to every substance. But with this one I'm baffled that you don't feel anything at all.This did nothing for me..been using it about 6 months so plenty of time for it to do whatever it's supposed to do, but i stuck with it anyways as i prefer its flavour profile over ya garden variety pepper

It does have a strong stimulating/ thermogenic effect.

There's actually a new study showing that even in people that dont have much brown adipose thermogenesis going on, it sort of regenerates the bodies abilty over time to do BAT.
Prolonged Treatment with Grains of Paradise (Aframomum melegueta) Extract Recruits Adaptive Thermogenesis and Reduces Body Fat in Humans with Low Brown Fat Activity - PubMed
Increasing adaptive thermogenesis through the activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a promising practical strategy for preventing obesity and related disorders. Ingestion of a single dose of 40 mg of an extract of Grains of Paradise (GP), a ginger family species, reportedly triggers BAT...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
I personally notice effects from just 1 grain.

Abstract
Purpose: Aframomum melegueta (grains of paradise) seeds have been demonstrated to possess thermogenic potential. However, it is necessary to validate the functional attributes of A. melegueta seed extract in human subjects.
Methods: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial design, we have examined the thermogenic effects of a standardized A. melegueta seed extract (AfperFit). A total of 70 overweight male and female subjects (BMI ≥25.0 to ≤30.0 kg/m2) aged 20-50 years were enrolled and administered with either 250 mg of AfperFit or placebo in capsule form twice daily for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoints included energy expenditure (indirect calorimetry), body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)) and fat distribution (computed tomography (CT scan)), analyzed at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment. The effect of intervention on the quality of life was examined using SF-12 questionnaire.
Results: Consumption of AfperFit significantly increased the energy expenditure (p<0.01), visceral fat area (p<0.001) and visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio (p<0.01) compared to placebo group. Consequently, there was significant body weight loss and reduction in BMI of subjects in AfperFit group compared to placebo (p<0.01). The safety evaluation showed that biochemical and hematological parameters were in the normal range. Supplementation of AfperFit was well tolerated during the study and no adverse effects were observed.
Conclusion: Overall, this study validates the health benefits of A. melegueta seed extract as fat burner and recommends its use as a functional ingredient to improve the quality of life and general health.
