This Alphagels product is starting to grow on me after some early libido and erectile benefits. Tolerance might also be developing to the skin irritation.

Yes - it's actually been 25 mg a day for the last couple months. Feeling good aside from sexual stuff that I'm still working on. I'm experimenting with DHT gel now for that.

Yes - he wants to sell the source list, as well as encourage people to sign up for consultations and receive sources that way. Most likely QSC I think.

No. Your T/E2 ratio is low though. If you're injecting subq, I would switch to IM. See what you can do to lose bodyfat and get the aromatization under control. I would not take an AI just to reduce the E2 on paper. How you feel is far more important than the numbers, and all you've posted so...

I would Would you rather spend a little time with levels too high or too low? That's the question. Personally, I would start with the 50 mg this coming Monday.

Increase injection frequency, switch from IM to subq, lower dose (as you can see, I didn't list this option first), change administration method to something less prone to increase HCT. Topicals raise hematocrit less than injections, oral testosterone raises HCT less than both (only 0.003% of...

I only tried it for a couple days so far and I was doing a couple other things at that time so I don't have any conclusions on it yet, other than an immediate stimulant effect I noticed. New Cortex video on DHT effects, mostly positive, with some negatives he observed after pushing it too high:

You might want to start around 100 mg weekly if you want to err on the side of caution with regard to side effects.

I think each individual provider has their own preferences. Mine started me on 40 mg EOD (140 mg weekly). I told them I wanted to try enanthate, so that's what they gave me. They leave it up to you whether you want to do subq or IM. In retrospect, it was a pretty good protocol and a...

Why those locations? Would you be expecting a lypolytic effect by applying to these areas?

No idea! TrevorTRT said above that it contains DMSO, but I'm not sure how he learned that, because I don't see the list of ingredients published anywhere. Alphagel also has a very low viscosity. It seems like grapeseed oil or something similar. If you aren't careful, it can easily run down...

I ran a lab test with the Alphagels 20% DHT gel. I used 1 ml in the evening before the test, used 1 ml the morning of the test, and then went and had the test performed about 5 hours after the morning application. 317 ng/dL was the result. I was expecting higher, given I hit 340 ng/dL with...

Is this an imposter @Gman86 ?

Have you considered the possibility that your urinary calcium is elevated due to your severely hypogonadal status? Low estrogen causes calcium loss in the urine, as your bones start disintegrating like a postmenopausal woman.

Depressed mood, loss of libido, joint pain, dry skin, fatigue, irritability.

Estrogen too high will kill your boners. Your E2 will have dropped significantly without the hCG.

The brand is Pharmacom which should get you halfway there.

Amazing post. Please join us in our group test of DHT gel so you can expand on your impressive list of hormonal behavior modification experiences: https://www.excelmale.com/threads/dht-cream-plus-testosterone-propionate-major-libido-boost.30965/post-287607

This wouldn't be a big deal if it turns out to be the case. You can get estradiol more easily than testosterone as it is not a controlled substance.

I concur with the others - try stopping tadalafil and garlic, retest in a month. You aren't suspecting tadalafil because it didn't crash your estrogen in the beginning, however, things can change over time. It seems the aging process renders us increasingly susceptible to adverse effects from...

In some countries, yes. It isn't legal in the United States which is insane considering it is a bioidentical hormone. We need to get the transgender community fired up about that.

Yes - less excipients and slightly shorter ester are both moves in the right direction for most people.

I forgot an important one: oral testosterone raises DHT levels pretty dramatically in a similar fashion to cream.

No, I would fix your metabolic health first. See those sky high triglycerides? That tells me you have alot of room for improvement with your diet. Start there.

SERMs would probably work very well and increase testosterone AUC in this scenario.

Because most people run long acting injections at doses too high for Clomid / enclomiphene to work, which makes it a complete waste from an hpta suppression perspective. It's something that might work at 50 mg or less weekly, in a world where everyone runs 100 or more. If you use normal doses...

Legally, yes. There are also straight DHT topicals out there, which would be my preference if all you're trying to do is tune up an otherwise good protocol that lacks DHT: https://www.excelmale.com/threads/dht-cream-plus-testosterone-propionate-major-libido-boost.30965/post-287607

Yes it would, by making the troughs higher.

I don't know what is causing your abdominal pain, but I am certain it has nothing to do with a mismatch between your hemoglobin and testosterone. That might be your most hair-brained idea so far. If the pain becomes worse after you eat, it sounds like something gastrointestinal. If it...

LOL wtf. Sounds like more law-abiding citizens are about to be driven to use UGL sources for their legitimate medical needs. Fortunately, there are plenty of good ones.

Yes, your DHT is low relative to everything else and I have the same issue. Compared to my natural baseline, my DHT is relatively lower on TRT compared to my T and E2. In other words, I had a much higher DHT/E2 ratio and DHT/T ratio as a natural. Based on bloodwork I've seen, a very small...
