    Experiences and Questions: Personal Experiments with Oral Native Testosterone Base & Enclomiphene (TRT+), Testosterone Propionate, HCG and more

    In general, poor health is accompanied by a decline in Nitric Oxide production. The Viagra class of drugs blocks an enzyme that breaks down nitric oxide so it indirectly increases Nitric Oxide if someone is producing good amounts in the first place. Dr. Kendrick points out that these drugs far...

    Experiences and Questions: Personal Experiments with Oral Native Testosterone Base & Enclomiphene (TRT+), Testosterone Propionate, HCG and more

    I do too many things to list but I made a very quick starter list below. While the book has as section on specific recommendations which, for example, caused me to start niacin again and measure LP(a) and homocysteine, the bigger impact for me was that by better understanding mechanisms of harm...

    Experiences and Questions: Personal Experiments with Oral Native Testosterone Base & Enclomiphene (TRT+), Testosterone Propionate, HCG and more

    Taking magnesium, K2 and vitamins A, K and E (full spectrum) may help absorption, but that sounds strange. Some infections "hijack" vitamin D, but I really just don't know. You might look into Chris Masterjohn's writing on the topic particularly around interaction with the parathyroid hormone.

    New to TRT. Received first labs. Concerned and need help.

    Some comments in no particular order. - Your Vitamin D reminds me that there are apparently some infections that use the Vitamin D receptor as an entryway into cells, and for those infections Vitamin D can make actually make things worse. Dr. Michael Ruscio (who you should also look into) did a...

    I agree with everything Funk said. Regarding mold, which I forgot to mention. I think what you want is a test that determines if you have been exposed and have some sort of damage from it. You could have been exposed elsewhere. A doc who specializes in that type of thing would be good to...

    DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost

    I really admire the creativity here, but I'm puzzled by using crushed tadalafil. Since you're basically (potentially, dependent on absorption) injecting the fillerr and binders, I would think there could be a risk there if those are things that are not absorbed in the digestive tract when taken...

    New to TRT. Received first labs. Concerned and need help.

    Your symptoms scream chronic fatigue syndrome and hopefully someone here with experience on that topic will chime in (possibly @FunkOdyssey ?) which if IIRC can be from chronic infections and/or micronutrient deficiencies. From what I've heard, mainstream doctors are fairly awful at resolving...

    Experiences and Questions: Personal Experiments with Oral Native Testosterone Base & Enclomiphene (TRT+), Testosterone Propionate, HCG and more

    This is another reason I am not a fan of ChatGPT. First, the point of the book is to propose a model of heart disease which actually fits the data we have about CVD. While there are a number of recommendations in the book. the bigger picture is that there are literally hundreds of risk...

    Factors Involved in Immune Resilience and Longevity

    It's puzzling that, at least based on the notes, he doesn't say anything about strengthening the innate immune system, specifically with Vitamins and minerals like D, C, and Zinc. Supplements like Beta Glucans apparently help as well.

    Alcohol Consumption and TRT/HCG

    DHM (dihydromyricetin) is an amazing compound and among other things aids in metabolizing alcohol.

    Alcohol Consumption and TRT/HCG

    While I would never recommend drinking in large amounts, or in any amount for someone who does not have a good relationship with alcohol, there are three big problems with the anti-alcohol push. First, the observational studies have grouped heavy drinkers in with light social drinkers. I have...

    DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost

    This would imply that the DHT Enanthate is at risk as well if there is no longer any source for raws.

    TRT Dose question

    I will be curious to hear if you are able to maintain healthy e2 level with that protocol. Also, I'm glad to see TNE becoming the standard term for straight testosterone again. Alternate terms like native T just create confusion IMO.

    No.1 Protein Scientist: Are you eating enough?

    I didn't watch the video, but my understanding from other sources is that while technically plant protein can, in the right combination, approach animal sources, in the real world you would have to eat so much of it that it is both impractical, and what plant protein comes bundled with could be...

    BPC-157 injection site importance?

    Peptide sciences is the trusted go-to, but I have had very good results with the patches from Phase4 (formerly Ageforce) and I find them very easy to put where ever I'm having an issue.

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.
