    Taking the plunge with CIalis

    Just wondering if it's necessary do dose more than once daily to get an all day effect? Seems the studies on Beets mention a lowering of BP, but don't specify multiple doses per day. Looks like Arginine and Citrulline have a short half life of 1-2 hours. Does this mean their effect in the...

    Taking the plunge with CIalis

    I never experienced any 'oh shit' moments, but I could definitely tell things were going south when I got into my 40s. I used to always be 'Mr Ready' as soon as it was on, and there is something great about giving the wife the confidence she's still attractive by unleashing a beast not a...

    Greetings form Kent

    Thanks abe & mooseman109. BTW, what I meant to say was Kent, UK, which is one of our little counties over here. We are down on the sunny corner next to France, which I see clearly across the English Channel every day.

    I cannot deny being happy to have caused mild amusement.

    Greetings form Kent

    Still getting dialed in on my TRT after 6 months, but making good steady progress. I cannot believe it took me until this week to find this place and learn about things like the amazing role of nitric oxide and the full spectrum of cialis benefits. I have just fired off a whole batch of online...

    Taking the plunge with CIalis

    I read a bit more into Nashtide's method with vodka and will go with that to begin. If I get to 5mg ED (probable) I will split the 20s into 4 like you suggest. I was interested in whether there's any reason not to split (most places outside this forum seem to say you shouldn't) but I'm sure...

    Taking the plunge with CIalis

    Trying to find info on splitting cialis pils is harder than I thought. I've seen it mentioned here that dissolving in vodka then administering the liquid with a syringe is an option. Also wondering if there's an alternative to alcohol as a solvent. I do have lengthy periods of abstention, and...

    Aromatization and T adjustment when using HCG

    I came to the conclusion to consider moving to daily or EOD a while back. Injection frequency doesn't put me off at all. Feels like the E response would be lower, and I heard with SC you get more out of the T shot vs IM. But provider argues against it, saying it's unnecessary. No one has...

    Aromatization and T adjustment when using HCG

    I should add, I have the HCG, but I am reluctant to use it until I have a baseline balance of T:E I do believe from experience and from reading that the AI is needed in my case to get that balance.

    Aromatization and T adjustment when using HCG

    At the last test, SHBG was 21 nmol/L, with the normal range given as 18-54, so I guess low normal. I don't understand how SHBG plays into this, so any insight you have is appreciated. I asked for exemestane because my estradiol came back as 194 pmol/L (normal 41-159), and I never felt I had the...

    Aromatization and T adjustment when using HCG

    I am interested in adding HCG. I am a strong aromatizer, probably because my BF % is close to 30, with a lot of visceral fat vs subcutaneous. I have settled on 12.5mg exemestane/aromasin every day, with no sign of this being too much. EOD was not enough, and I now have better libido and mood...

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
