    My pre-workout Natesto experiment - Embrace your natural trough!

    I think there may be something to this ramping up of one's natural production. I can only speak anecdotally because I am not in a situation where I am able to get corroborating blood tests but when I have cycled off the nasal mist I use, (I do this just for good measure from time to time), I...

    Wanting to return to TRT but fearful of hair thinning again.

    Finasteride at 1mg per day has made a difference for me.

    My pre-workout Natesto experiment - Embrace your natural trough!

    Unfortunately, madman, I can only speak anecdotallyas to how I feel with regard to energy and the pumps and gains I have in the gym. My doc wasn't open to prescribing therapy after my initial testing and certainly wouldn't support my independent use. I have no doubt that Nasotest is a good...

    My pre-workout Natesto experiment - Embrace your natural trough!

    I see your point, madman. I find a definite bump at 18mg per day but I have dosed double that. My experience tells me I feel better in the 18-24mg range. In response to the lower test quantities in the dosage - I suspect that the Natesto gel limits absorbtion area and a certain amount goes...

    Sorry, Fortunate, I should have mentioned that it is compounded. Right now I am using a concentration of 3mg per spray, (18mg per day), but have used 2mg and 4mg at different times. I am not sure it would be acceptable to share source here in the thread.

    My pre-workout Natesto experiment - Embrace your natural trough!

    I have been enjoying this informative thread, (kudos to Willyt for your detailed account), and decided to chime in with my alternate experience. I have been using an unesterified testosterone nasal mist for years that appears to have all of the benefits of Natesto (preservation of endogenous...

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.
