TRT and Libido: Has Anyone Had Consistently Acceptable Libido?
To answer your initial question,yes I have had consistently acceptable libido on TRT but only since moving to an everyday protocol. I too have very low SHBG, and like most/many on this forum who do, I improved greatly when I switched to more frequent injections (ED in my case). Prior to that, on...- Ardoc

NAC and elevated Hematocrit

I really need some feedback here boys (bad TRT experience, rapidly getting even worse)
Banshek7 as you're all too aware, all of this horrible care you have been getting has your mind swirling and has you at your wits end but its important that you understand things will improve with the proper care. And as stated above it could take a bit of time. There are many stories on here...- Ardoc

Poll- HCG use while on TRT
For me it is a 3. When I travel i just forgo the HCG and if i skip it for 10 days to 2 weeks I don't really notice the decline BUT i definitely feel better after starting again. Nothing i can put my finger on, just a better sense of well-being both physically and mentally. Placebo...- Ardoc

Fish oil maybe more harmful than trans fats? NIH report
It is a startling thought but fwiw that article has been retracted based on a disclaimer at the top of the page and the word "Retracted" across each page- Ardoc

How long do pre-filled syringes keep?
Every Sunday I fill my T. Cup syringes for the week. I keep them (filled or unfilled if travelling) in a small zippered travel case along with swabs, the T vial and some reading glasses. I have never been stopped or even questioned at customs.- Ardoc

Benefits and drawbacks of daily testosterone dosing protocol, and what's your sweet spot?
I BELIEVE i read something on here from Nelson, that said it was the higher Trough levels that were correlated with higher HCT (not peak or average levels). I cannot find it now. However if that is the case, it wouldn't suggest a mechanism for daily shots resulting in an improvement in HCT as...- Ardoc

2nd Opinion
At a glance it seems like your Endocrinologist has a lot more knowledge of TRT than your Urologist, who prescribed an ineffective and antiquated protocol (every two weeks). Also it is common practice to get 3 or more low Test results before concluding there is a problem. Also without other...- Ardoc

High DHT
There was a lot of information going around a while back about the training benefits of DHT. I'm having trouble finding them on here but did find this; https://mikemahler.com/articles-videos/hormone-optimization/testosterone-is-great-but-is-dihydrotestosterone-the-king-of-all-male-androgens and...- Ardoc

High DHT
I was above the testable range for DHT in the past and the testable range is almost 3 x the max lab range, so I honestly don't know how high it was. After investigating the ramifications and what to do (or if I should do anything) i decided not to test for it routinely. I have tested since and...- Ardoc

I simplified my Nitric Oxide stack!
Vince, thought this might be of some interest? Looks like there is "potential/possibility" for ammonia build-up in the liver with use (overuse/abuse?) of L-Norvaline?

Good Hematocrit Results from Grapefruit Seed Extract but low SHBG
VC, FYI this is the only one I've tried and I am encouraged but much like you, I may find it was a co-incidence or doesn't work long-term? The thing I don't like about this (or the other GSE products I've seen) is that they don't state the active ingredients or amounts of them. If you try it...- Ardoc
