No problem! The more clarification the better. Living in a northern clime, I tend to take larger amounts in the winter and cut down during the summer as I get outside a lot.

Read the comments to this last article. One comment suggested that higher levels of Vitamin D promotes higher levels of calcium deposits in the arteries when you have proper levels of vitamin D3, you become hyperabsorber of calcium, so do not take any calcium supplements and have your...

Nelson - My understanding is that there are two C-reactive protein tests - the cCRP (cardiac), and the more general CRP? So if one's cCRP score is low - can you assume the CRP is likely to be low - or should both tests be conducted? And if your cCRP is low, you can assume that the sensitive...

How much difference between the "sensitive" array and the "ultra-sensitive"? I don't think that has been answered? If I'm scoring in the low 20's in the sensitive - how would that correlate to the "ultra-sensitive"? Are the threshold/ranges at all comparable?

I also use magnesium glycinate but I'm cautious and keep the dosage at 100 mg a day. I try to eat high-magnesium food but my understanding is that magnesium is being depleted in our soil so we may not be getting as much magnesium in our diet as we think.

How about cutting up beets and adding to a protein smoothie? Or just eating beets raw?

So if we elevate our T and keep it consistently high - will we re-develop a brow ridge???? http://www.leakeyfoundation.org/blog/2014testosterone-and-culture

Vince - This appears to be the old Juvenon diet supplement. Check the bottom of the link: [h=4]Conflict of Interest[/b]Dr. Ames is one of the founders of Juvenon (http://juvenon.com/), a company that has licensed the University of California patent on acetyl carnitine + lipoic acid for...

Was this an observational study?

Mid - I had a similar problem - misdiagnosis of GI issues which the lazy GI doc attributed to GERD and put me on a PPI. I reacted violently and they had to stop it. I had terrible insomnia - going 4 days w/o a wink of sleep, bad anxiety, my tongue and mouth turned sheet white and felt like...

Jabarnes - your hematocrit and hemoglobin do not look that awful, getting to the top of the ranges perhaps, but it looks to me you could wait until 4/9?

Just curious Gene. Have you logged any numbers (blood tests, etc) over time that correlate to your stack to show some historical trends?

Dude - I've been reading Lee Meyer for a while and I don't think he advocates a low-fat diet per se, more of a moderate healthy fat paradigm. I myself eat a primarily plant-based diet with moderate fat in the form of fish, nuts, flax/hemp/pumpkin seeds, etc. I get about 8-9 helpings of...

My albumin was 4.1 and it has always been normal. Going back to late Jan, here's what it looked like: total 986, free 10.5, SBHG 61.8. Vitamin D was 50. I already eat a primarily plant-based diet with the helping of fish a few times a week - but I don't think I'm getting that much protein...

Chris - How do we get to 15/20?

Hematocrit - 48.4, hemoglobin - 17.1. Back in August 2014, I was at 40.4, 14.1.

My last E2 (sensitive) on prior test was 21, my free T was 10.5pg/mL (range 7.2 - 24.0). Note my PCP does not handle my TRT. The only thing he tests is overall so I'm not inclined to follow his directions. What defines being "too high"?

My PCP is concerned because my "trough" T levels have been in the 900's over the past few months. I do shots (cypionate) Wed AM and Sat PM, 100mg per week. I do my blood tests Wed AM before the next shot. Overall - most days I feel almost super-energetic with good libido. Almost a bit...

Here's Reboot Nation's take on this study: http://www.rebootnation.org/forum/index.php?page=Prause_ED_Study_Critique I personally do not watch porn but I don't have a dog in this fight. I think everyone reacts differently. I find it contrived and boring. My libido works best when my...

John - I'm not T expert and would defer to our gurus - but I've been on TRT (cypionate) for 8 months and have yet to have any need for any meds to control estradiol. My estradiol has stayed in the low 20's the entire time. I am on the 2x a week injection protocol, 50mg each injection...

New Zealand via LAX.

For the most part - i feel great on a consistent basis since I went to 2x injections of test cyp. But now and then - oh - maybe once every 2 weeks - I have these bad days and experience near-identical symptoms. I cannot put my finger on a pattern with these days, e.g., day before injection...

I just travelled overseas with 2 bottles of test cyp and syringes in my carry-on. No hassle whatsoever. No one ever asked questions or to see any paperwork.

Just finished a 60-mile 8-day hiking trip overseas in a pristine wilderness area. Coming back, and suffering from jet lag, my formerly excellent morning erections have disappeared. Anyone have this happen? And if so - how long for you before the plumbing resume normal operations?

I feel pretty good now from a mental/emotional POV. Very stable, relaxed, and calm. I very rarely have any off days as I did with Androgel. Getting good sleep seems to be of greater importance now however, more so than at any time in my life. My libido/erections quality is not what it...

Test Results Total Testosterone 986 ng/dL Estradiol (Sensitive) 21 pg/mL DHT 137 ng/dL Free Testosterone (Direct) 10.5 ng/dL Hemoglobin 16.2 g/dL Hematocrit 47.2 % SBHG 61.8 nmol/L This is my 6-month checkup. I had the blood test performed at my trough, so I'm concerned at...

Henry - I did not like the gels. I got tired of putting it on every morning. I got tired of insurance playing their paper chase/approval game making it a chore to get the prescription renewed every 3 months. I never did get my levels up high enough on the gels - hence the...

Cooper - what are you on now, gels or injections?

Feel for you dude. Being in a stable relationship with a great wife makes a huge difference. We are able to openly communicate about the situation and she is very understanding. If I was dating - I'd probably feel a bit of anxiety not knowing whether I'd be able to perform. While...

I went from Androgel to Cypionate like you. With the Androgel on 4 pumps there was a period where I had crazy arousals and intense erections and orgasms. I also did have morning wood but not as consistent as with the Cypionate. I also was up and down a lot more - I'd have days of feeling...

Definitely affordable! The test description states: The commonly used estradiol test may overestimate estradiol. That test uses immunoassay technology that cannot differentiate C-Reactive Protein (involved in inflammation) from estradiol, so it reads the combination of the two as estradiol...
