    anastrozole vs dim

    Having joint pains and ED issues and feel that it may be due to the Anastrozole (.5 twice weekly).

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.
