    Is HCG still available?

    I'm confused about HCG IUs to mgs. Are they all the same (1iu = 1iu)? I was getting Jintropin Pure Gold 100iu (10iu/x10 vials) for $200. Now I see reliablerxpharmacy has LupiHCG 5000 i.u. for $16 a vial. Isn't 5000iu 50x more then 100iu, or am I missing something. Why isn't the exact mg content...

    Natural total free test is 1114ng/ml, will TRT benefit me?

    I have laid off most supplements, just a few basics, magnesium, D3, omega 3. The Quest lab doesn't list the FT testing method, only "Reference Range: 46.0-224.0 pg/mL". SHBG wasn't tested. I'm scheduled for an endo to try to hammer it down.

    Natural total free test is 1114ng/ml, will TRT benefit me?

    I'm 50, male. My total testosterone labs have been hovering around 1200ng/ml for a few years. This is all natural, a lot of supplements but all OTC. I'm happy about this but my libido is quite low. Free T is 97.5 pg/mL. Would TRT benefit me when I already have these levels naturally?

    Does yohimbine's fat burning effects work with continued use?

    I've read conflicting reports regarding yombine's fat burning effects. Apparently it's noradrenaline stimulating effects wear off after 14 days continued use (ref1). Most guides recommend cycling it, but I have read other reports of extended use of more than a year with good effects. I always...

    1300ng/dl Total Testosterone (natural) but low libido and ED?

    I actually was taking low dose fin last year (.5mg/day usually topical but oral about 2x a week), although I wasn't disciplined about it and stopped long before this test. I don't think I would want to lower my testosterone if I could correct my ED while maintaining it. To be honest, at my age...

    1300ng/dl Total Testosterone (natural) but low libido and ED?

    I wonder if the elevated total T can cause ED via elevating estrogen and prolactin even when it's not exogenous.

    1300ng/dl Total Testosterone (natural) but low libido and ED?

    I actually feel great most all of the time. More energy, high cardio endurance, work out daily, eating very clean, athletic body composition, sleep like a baby. I suppose even my libido isn't bad, it's more psychological that I don't go there because of the ED. I'm ordering the ED lab (thanks...

    1300ng/dl Total Testosterone (natural) but low libido and ED?

    No. I guess a full hormone panel (TRT Male) is what I want here. I've experienced mild depression but mostly dealt with by exercise and sunlight. I wonder how unusual 1300ng total t is, the doc actually recommended I bring it up with my primary. I'm pushing 50. I wonder if it can be a symptom of...

    1300ng/dl Total Testosterone (natural) but low libido and ED?

    I was concerned about low libido and poor erections so I ordered a serum testosterone test. To I and the doctor's astonishment, my total testosterone was 1300ng/dl. He basically accused me of juicing, which I never have. I'm still experiencing ED. A few years ago I could repeat solid performance...
