    Kisspeptin-10 Potential Cardiovascular risk?

    I'm surprised this has not been addressed again in more recent threads and would appreciate a refresh and update on this topic for those that are using this compound. I was on KS-10 for approx. 3 mos. but am putting it on hold until I can get a better grasp on this concern.

    Iron Supplementation Protocol to Raise Ferritin FAST While on TRT: The Vorck Protocol

    I'm not on TRT and now wonder how bad ferritin would plummet if I were to be! I do not have HH (I have 1 copy of H63D, carrier of hemochromatosis, unaffected since I'm not also a C282Y hemochromatosis carrier). My electrophoresis test results are all within range. Here's something I have to...

    Carpal tunnel symptoms and peptides

    Update: Cycled off the GH secretagogue peptides for about a week (continued with BPC-157, TB-500). Not only is the carpal tunnel continuing to be an issue, but my existing trigger finger got much worse as well and has spread to my other digits and even thumbs which I never had a problem with...

    Kisspeptin Dosage

    I don't believe TMC has much of any injectable peptides available since the FDA investigation a couple years back and more recent product recalls. PS is the only one I trust now + the practitoner markups of pharma peptides are ridiculous. I have had thje PS peptides 3rd-party tested and all came...

    Peptides for arthritis?

    Appreciate the in-depth response. Although many of Centeno's patients inquire about BPC-157, he remains skeptical of peptides in general mainly due to his past fight with the FDA over his clinic's PRP/stem cell protocols which made him skittish about adding compounds that have, at best, only...

    Peptides for arthritis?

    Where are you seeing that in the Regenexx blog? I have just finished having an in-depth consultation with my local Regenexx clinic and I'm looking at having several joint issues addressed using a combination of special concentrate PRP and BMAC stem cell injections. I brought this issue of...

    Most people don’t need TRT

    I am strill trialing KS-10, not enclomiphene yet. So far into the 2nd month, have not seen a continued increase in total T, but a substantial increase in free T. Can't tell any difference in how I feel.

    TRIGGER FINGER is OUT OF HAND (no pun intended)

    Nelson - for the surgery, do you recall if you had open release surgery in which you had stitches - or percutaneous release which is minimally-invasive, ultrasound-guided and without stitches? How long was the post-op pain and recovery time?

    TRIGGER FINGER is OUT OF HAND (no pun intended)

    Already tried a few times and didn't work, so release is only option at this point. Just don't know why it happens in my case and I don't see any other lifters who been training for decades getting this problem.

    Telmisartan and libido

    Supplementing T4 with thyroid Labs

    I have had over 10 years of experimenting with every form of thyroid replacement (sustained-release T3, T4 monotherapy, T3 monotherapy, commercial NDT, custom-compounded NDT, T3 + NDT, T4 + NDT) and I have found the most effective to be custom-compounded NDT which I have made with ascorbic acid...

    Most people don’t need TRT

    Big topic. Lots of debate. The + and - of TRT will never end. If you haven't already, why not try a secretagogue that helps your body produce it naturally with none of the TRT-related side effects or negative feedback loop issues (i.e. Enclomiphene, hCG, Kisspeptin-10)? That's what I'm...

    Kisspeptin Dosage

    In my first trial with KS-10, my total T levels increased 40% after a month on 100mcg/day (You can read about it on my previous post here) - but - I was also taking tesa/ipa/cjc which may have an influence on T levels as well. I am now awaiting the labs after upping the dose of KS-10 to 100mcg...

    Beta-blocker responsible for significant ED, searching for BP meds that don’t cause ED.

    If you can't get brand nebivolol via insurance you can try getting it via the Abbvie Patient Assistance program for 0 out of pocket or getting it cheap as a generic since that is now available.

    Beta-blocker responsible for significant ED, searching for BP meds that don’t cause ED.

    I would look into Bystolic (nebivolol). It is a 3rd generation beta blocker, is far superior to any of the previous generation BBs, is neutral or beneficial on lipids, glucose and insulin sensitivity, and is the only BB that produces endothelial nitric oxide. I combine it with Mycardis...

    My levels increased 40% after a month on 100mcg of KS-10 from Peptide Sciences. I am now doubling the dose to see if I can increase it further. You can read about it on my previous post here.

    Bubble gut – VAT, SAT, both - or something else

    Did you have surgery to correct? Looks like DRA can be corrected sometimes with certain exercises but not always. May take too long and not reverse. Umbilical hernia can only be corrected with surgery. I think I should talk with a surgeon to get his take. According to Heath, his surgery went...

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.
