    Magnesium Supplements? Biotest ZMA?

    I'm off TRT right now, and am looking to increase my magnesium intake to hopefully help with slightly high blood pressure, workout recovery, and maybe get a little free T boost. Has anyone tried a product like below or should I take zinc and magnesium separately? If separate, what type and...

    Best Supplement(s) for Slightly Elevated Blood Pressure?

    I eat pretty healthy, not alot of junk food other than those blue tortilla chips here and there. Mostly protein shakes, salads, lean meats, etc. I do try and watch sodium intake but haven't gone crazy with watching that yet. For the supplements, I already take some kind of AM/PM Calm...

    Best Supplement(s) for Slightly Elevated Blood Pressure?

    Question #2: Would taking creatine risk increasing my blood pressure? I'd like to add some more muscle mass right now, but keeping my BP down is priority #1.

    Best Supplement(s) for Slightly Elevated Blood Pressure?

    Over the past 1-2 months, I've taken over 100 BP readings and the average I'm getting is like 129-131/73. So, I get some decent readings like 123/73 which aren't bad, but then other times I get a 135/78 reading and it offsets it. My bottom number is always below 80, but I would like to get the...

    Considering weaning off of TRT

    I also am having libido issues with a long-term partner, and decided to get off TRT for the past year to get my blood pressure and some anxiety issues under control. My natural levels are lower than yours, probably 270-350 range, and Dr. Saya has me on 5mg daily Tadalafil, and that's it...

    Tadalafil (Cialis) minimum effective dose...

    Defy has me taking 1/4 of a 25MG pill (6.25mg) daily, I wonder if this is too much? But I'm also currently off TRT, so maybe they boosted it up to help me out. I do l think it's helping, as I'm able to have decent sexual encounters and orgasms even with low T in the 200-300 range. Defy...

    Stopping T-Cream Questions

    Not yet. Going to take a 3-month break off everything but will probably be trying enclomiphene with Defy early 2021. But I do feel better off the cream right now and even had decent sex last night after being off cream for 3 weeks now. Dr Saya has me on low dose Cialis to help compensate for my...

    TRT isn't forever? Natural T came back? Lab results suggestions please

    Your story is very interesting, I wonder if stress/anxiety was suppressing your T in some way before. What do you attribute your natural increase to? How has your libido been during this time?

    Accutane gave me a positive side effect...

    How did you reverse the problems? With a successful TRT regimen or via other means?

    Accutane gave me a positive side effect...

    Late to the party on this topic, but can someone please tell me how former Accutane use could explain reduced T levels later in life? I am 38, discovered I had low T about 4 years ago. I was on Accutane in my teens, probably back when I was 14-18. That said, my libido was excellent in my...

    Benzodiazepines interactions cause by anastrazole

    Hang in there brother. I was on Klonopin to help nighttime anxiety and sleep issues for about 3-4 years, but I successfully came off last year and now melatonin alone does the trick for me. Go slow and steady, I wish you the best, you can do it.

    Stopping T-Cream Questions

    I'm considering that, have a consult with TRT doctor in a couple weeks and will bring it up. I just hope enclomiphene doesn't promote anxiety, because that's my #1 issue right now. Thanks Vince.

    Stopping Testosterone Injections for Enclomiphene

    If enclomiphene potentially raise your T values, does it also raise red blood cell counts and HCT, etc like creams and injections?
  15. L

    Has anyone tried creams and felt better on injections?

    Has anyone seen HCT be higher on creams than injections? Or the same? My HCT seems to be about the same on creams, if not a little higher, at about the same T levels.
