    Is less more?

Over the years, I've found that at around 450-500, though I'll have slightly less energy and my...

    Horny Goat Weed

    I wasn't thinking as i typed. i understand that i'm no longer producing my own T. What I should have said is that it takes roughly HALF of my dose to jack my number higher than it used to be on a FULL dose. and this is prior to my experimenting with DHEA or supps of any kind over the past few...

    Vitamin D3

    i feel like i read somewhere that some consider vitamin D to be a hormone, which i found strange, but interesting. yeah...here it is. i had no clue. We've been taught that Vitamin D is the “bone vitamin”, but it is really a sun hormone. It is not in the food. It is a chemical that we make on...

    New Guy Here- Stopped testosterone due to high hematocrit

    Hey guys, New here. Great site. Impressive knowledge and leadership. So...I've been on T for 5 years. Started on gel, which jacked my numbers nicely, but started to elevate E. I learned how to manage the E by cutting back on my T dose a bit. I was not into taking an AI. Still prefer not to...

    Buspar for libido (buspirone side effects sexually)

    Hi. I'm new to ExcelMale and had an experience with Buspar you might find interesting. During a tough time several years ago, my physician suggested I try the drug. I took it, reluctantly, and found that it did, in fact, boost my libido. I felt very "activated" while taking it, which, I didn't...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

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.
