Maximus charges $149.99/mo for Oral Native Testosterone alone or $199.99/mo for Oral Native Testosterone with Enclomiphene/Pregnenolone (with purchase of Building Blocks Multivitamin & 12 month commitment). https://www.maximustribe.com/testosterone/testosterone-replacement-therapy

Native testosteorne, just like your body mades (unmodified, unesterified). The good stuff! It's chemically identical to endogeonous T, but because the oral tablet doesn't come from endogenous sources, I wouldn't call it that. But the part stimualted by enclomiphene can be. It's more...

592 ng/dL is not that high. What dose are you taking? In our last trial, we saw peak Total T levels at 1327 ng/dL on average.

Testosterone: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7690364/ That's why oral testosterone pairs well with enclomiphene.

I've never seen a SERM able to raise LH/FSH to baseline levels while on injectable TRT. Dr. Justin Saya has noted this numerous times as well on discussion forums. Maybe a little bit, but not avoiding suppression altogether.

The doc may need to see a clean baseline that's within range, if done within the last 6 months. Otherwise you'd have to go off for a week and retest.

Testosterone itself increases IGF-1 and can counteracts the decrease from Enclomiphene. My own labs show no difference in IGF-1 from baseline (no drugs) on the combination of a higher dose of testosterone + lower dose of enclomiphene.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing you can get Quest/LabCorp level accuracy at home now. I never need to go into the lab anymore unless I need lipids or something else measured.

That's a great question, I'll have to ask the pharmacist. Though you can learn to swallow pills with these tricks: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/two-tricks-make-easier-swallow-pills-201411137515 76% of people report having floaters. Most people don't notice them until they're paying...

As I mentioned, there's only so much you can pass through bucally/sublingually. It's a good choice for low-dose drugs like enclomiphene & pregnenolone, it's not a good choice for drugs like testosterone that requires higher dosages. Studies on bucal testosterone like Striant don't get levels...

There's a physiological limit in how much you can absorb sublingually. Sublingual is just no a good delivery vehicle for testosterone. There's no need for "less liver issues," since there are no liver issues (per the research posted above). We do offer enclomiphene/pregnenolone alone. It...

Associational research is not very useful when it comes to Vit D. I suggest exploring the Vitamin D wiki’s studies. It’s not central to this discussion here, so let’s move on. You can take Oral TRT alone if you’re a “T only” purist. But adding a low dose of enclomiphene is generally worth...

How high are your total & free T levels on 474 mg/day?

Yes. It's not strictly necessary, but 5-20 mg sublingual enhances mood & energy, with little downside. In our clinical experience, patients prefer it to enclomiphene alone.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Its not as easy for clinics to prescribe Oxandrolone and Proviron, especially if you're talking about healthier individuals. Clomid is actually more expensive now that one of the manufacturers shut down. There are now two published trials of enclomiphene and...
