    NAD+

    That's something I need to look into a bit more, but from what I've read (the book The Field touches on this IIRC) there is some very esoteric mechanism that goes beyond dose, but yes I might respond well.. One of many things I'm not as familiar with as I'd like to be.

    NAD+

    I use 4mg lozenges and cut them into quarters. For me they irritate my throat and briefly give me smoker's cough but it's manageable for now. There may be better way but this one let's me easily control the dose. According to DA, it may be absorbed a bit more quickly than ideal the way I'm doing...

    How long does testosterone drop after stopping

    There are plotters you can search for that will in theory tell when the cypionate is out of your system (3-4 weeks probably) but it may take longer for your actual blood levels to drop. If you are concerned about testing high I would test yourself through DiscountedLabs.com and then get your...

    NAD+

    I remember some people in this thread pondering nicotine for a mental energy boost. Dave Asprey recently did two podcasts which take a deep dive on the topic (summary: stay under 5mg per day) and I have recently been using 1mg 3-4 days per week with what seem to be good results so far, although...

    PT 141 diminishing effect on erections?

    Dosing no more than twice per week, my vials can last 4-6 months with little or no degradation in effect. That sound like a scam to promote reorders. Also, Pt-141 (and MT2) seem to be quite reliable across well-known providers IME.

    New Research Reveals Erectile Dysfunction Linked More to Blood Sugar Than Testosterone

    This makes sense. A1C is apparently the best predictor of CVD and CRP is not far behind.

    NAD+

    I injected around 10mg twice a week at the same time as my HCG. That may not have been enough but I react well to low doses of things. My energy is pretty good on my protocol, but it's impossible to say how big the affect is. It's cheap and it can't hurt as far as I know, but it's not like I...

    NAD+

    I did not feel anything but hopefully you will. I have been using low dose (50mg) niacinamide (NAD precursor) and apigenin (to block the breakdown of NAD) instead.

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    It probably depends on the drug. For someone already on a base of TRT, adding in a low dose of a compound that has a "feel good" affect for some people (e.g. masteron or Dbol) is likely far safer (based on ability to come off and lack of side effects) than most psych meds other than low-risk...

    Extreme Fatigue With a Few Clues in Blood Work. What am I Missing?

    Something you might look into is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) which sounds like it has some overlapping symptoms with what you're dealing with. I just listened to the the recent Dave Asprey podcast on the topic with Dr. Tania Dempsey, so perhaps there are some clues there for you. There...

    Mitochondrial Health: A key to Aging & Recovering Well- Urolithin A Supplement

    Yes, we need a crowd-funded private version of Janoshik's operation here in the US.

    Mitochondrial Health: A key to Aging & Recovering Well- Urolithin A Supplement

    Thanks. I'm going to order some. That is a much more reasonable price. This topic is a good example of the egregious hucksterism that has permeated the world of "health influencers" where they are given product and paid to promote things without consideration of the cost effectiveness.

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    I believe at one time it was approved for human use in France for TRT-like affects, and there was Doc in the US that recommended it for a while IIRC.. As with everything, it depends on what one is trying to accomplish, dose and duration, ester, and personal tolerance. It does not aromatize and...

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    ********** is one of very few compounds that seems to specifically remove visceral fat. There would need to be data on what dose/duration starts to present kidney risk before using it long-term in humans however the doses used in the physique community are likely wildly excessive for the purpose...

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    You might try taking glycerin (same as glycerol) for the water retention. It is known to move water into the muscles. You might also try Nitric Oxide pills and see if that helps the viagra work better. I take the tablets from N1o1.com.

    A suitable trt plan which will not compromise fertility

    Clomid is generally pro-fertility and is sometimes used as a stand-alone therapy to increase fertility. Whether it would maintain fertility in the combination with gel I don't know, and would probably partially depend on the dose of each., so you would have to test your LH and FSH to see. Also...

    A suitable trt plan which will not compromise fertility

    Welcome. Have you had your LH and FSH checked? That should tell if you are still fertile with the gel. How long have you been on the gel? In general, some combination of a SERM (Clomid or more likely Enclomiphene) as well as a fast acting form of Testosterone such as the oral or nasal forms are...

    Breakthrough Trial Shows Heart Screening Saves Lives in Men 60–64

    The question here is whether the treatments are actually reasonable. Being screened by a group that is pushing statins will likely do more harm than good.

    BPC 157 and TB 500? Legit pharmacies ?

    Absolutely BPC 157. I continue to have great results with the patches and I know other people who have had great results with it in general as well. Also I no longer have the reservation about transdermal delivery I had in my post above. DMSO is also worthwhile, as is something from the growth...

    Pre workout stack

    I find that a nap before my workouts is helpful. I also lift using a protocol that does not require or benefit from max-effort reps. A spoonful of ketones helps as well. I would be wary of any stimulant-laden products as they can create a cortisol response which is generally counter-productive...

    PCT after 16 weeks cycle

    If you're talking about muscle recovery, creatine and EAAs are a good start. If your're talking about recovery from the clomid, i don't know but sauna is a good way to detox in general. Dihydromyriceitin (DHM) might also be worth considering.

    PCT after 16 weeks cycle

    Given your high T levels (I am assuming you have been off of exogenous T long enough that it is from natural production) then the sooner you stop the PCT the sooner your body can normalize and hopefully return to a healthy state overall. PCT is to restore your natural T levels and you apparently...

    PCT after 16 weeks cycle

    First, all that Clomid in your system can create the symptoms you describe, and if you stop now it will take 4-6 weeks for it to mostly clear out, and then more time for your body to reset. If I'm understanding your situaiton correctly, you're going to have to give your body a chance to reset...

    Warning for Men on TRT: Low Ferritin is Bad

    I apologize if I already said this in another thread. For me, being fully hydrated seemed to resolve the Hematocrit reading. I did my blood draw late morning after drinking as much water as I could including while in the waiting room. I have also had fairly low ferritin readings (I stopped...

    TRT Peaks and troughs or steady levels. Which is correct?

    I'll try to clarify. I've seen a lot of people assume that the natural rise and fall is "better" and go to extreme lengths to try to mimic it, however I have never seen logic or evidence that it would be optimal for the individual or the modern human species. I mean no disrespect to nature or...

    Shoulder problems help

    BPC is my main go-to and it absolutely seems to help. I use the patches. I am less confident in TB500, and I think it needs to be used in larger amounts and may be more effective for fibrosis. I also recommend DMSO. Diclofenac may be helpful for pain but only if used to allow limited mobility...

    TRT Peaks and troughs or steady levels. Which is correct?

    We don't know what nature was optimizing for. I seem to do better with cypionate (although I have not tried every combination) but I think we can be confident that nature was not trying to have 60 Y/O's optimized for having lots of kids since that would not be historically optimal for the species.

    [urgent help] battling long long term effect of enclo

    It's blue light that you want to block, and people with sleep issues should generally avoid all forms of screen time including television for a few hours before bedtime. Also note the Zinc is a form of AI. Ai's, especially in excess seem to be a prime culprit for long-term problems. Take a look...

    The New Standard in NAD-Boosting

    My understanding is that a small dose of Niacinimide (e.g 50 MCG) is a good precursor and it is dirt cheap. Also, as Dr. Elizabeth Yurth and others have described, blocking the enzyme that breaks down NAD is also effective and Apigenin among other things will apparently do that.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
