    Telmisartin 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.

    Building and maintaining muscle for longevity

    I think the Dr. Phillips likely means well, however as an "older adult" I wonder if he has actually studied people in their 60's or above who are maintaining (or trying to maintain) abilities consistent with healthy people in their thirties (basketball ability being one of the best measures of...

    Shoulder problems help

    Yes, I use the upright row with a fairly narrow grip, however, as with everything, you have to be on the lookout for any sign of damage. I only use light weights and use the movement to loosen up my shoulders and reactivate muscles if I am having some other issue.

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

    This is why there IMO needs to be a private version of the FDA to test things and see if the low-priced one is the real thing. Also, this is also why the promotion of very over-priced supps whose effects are very hard to detect is a big problem with "biohackers" these days. The people who...

    Impact of TRT and Supraphysiological Testosterone Doses on Biological Aging

    If there's an ROS elevation from AAS, that could explain part of the "craggy" look that a lot of long-term perma-blasters seem to get. The aging "clocks" still leave a lot to be desired and need to be validated against real-world performance.

    First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback

    I usually take around 200mg, although I go higher if my BP jumps (which it rarely does) or if I'm having muscle cramps. I thought I was getting enough potassium but adding more completely eliminated muscle cramping. I've also driven my BP too low with it which can be harmful as well.

    First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback

    Since it sounds like your BP is the fundamental issue, are you supplementing potassium and getting a decent amount of sodium? (Contrary to popular belief, very low sodium can raise BP.) High 40's is not all that high for HCT and I've had low ferritin (also at 10) before with no symptoms. I...

    Shoulder problems help

    I have had and rehabbed from severe problems in both shoulders including something loosely similar to what you describe. Here are some thoughts. - Avoid any movement that seems to make it worse - Do light movements to get blood into the joint through every possible range of motion - If you can...

    Crypto for buying pepetides

    There have been cases of out-of-favor businesses being "debanked" and unable to use credit card payments, however that seems to have been relaxed (or they found a workaround) for the peptide companies unless something has changed recently. I still think it's a good idea to have a crytpo (likely...

    On TRT: How to check the state of cardiovascular system & how to find heart specialist

    For K2, I take either 2-3 MK-4 capsules with 100mcg each per day, or 100mcg Mk-7, however I suspect a higher dose of MK-4 would be fine. Some people APOE4's I think can build up too much K2 so I stay at moderate doses since I don't know if I'm in that category. For Lp(a), the best advice I've...

    Interesting injury

    This sounds like a reminder of the importance of doing something for all body parts, even ones most people normally don't think about. If you are lucky enough to train at a gym that has a 4-way neck machine, it is a great, essential movement IMO. Otherwise you can buy a neck harness to use with...

    On TRT: How to check the state of cardiovascular system & how to find heart specialist

    You might also check Lp(a). There isn't AFAIK a perfect fix if it's elevated although Oxandrolone apparently will help, but you could be at greater risk if it's elevated and hence might want to take more extreme measures

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    My two cents: - Stop the finasteride and go to topical - It's way too soon for TRT. HCG or Clomid/monotherapy would be much lower risk, but may not be necessary either. You could add a low dose of oxandrolone to that if gym performance is still a concern at that point - Are you using viagra or...

    On TRT: How to check the state of cardiovascular system & how to find heart specialist

    This is a huge topic but here are a few things to start with. I recently heard the results of a large sample of data correlated with heart events, and the number one risk factor was A1C, which should be under 5.5 or hopefully lower. This makes sense since elevated blood sugar can damage the...

    Vitamin D May Slow Cellular Aging

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.
