    DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost

    This would imply that the DHT Enanthate is at risk as well if there is no longer any source for raws.

    TRT Dose question

    I will be curious to hear if you are able to maintain healthy e2 level with that protocol. Also, I'm glad to see TNE becoming the standard term for straight testosterone again. Alternate terms like native T just create confusion IMO.

    No.1 Protein Scientist: Are you eating enough?

    I didn't watch the video, but my understanding from other sources is that while technically plant protein can, in the right combination, approach animal sources, in the real world you would have to eat so much of it that it is both impractical, and what plant protein comes bundled with could be...

    BPC-157 injection site importance?

    Peptide sciences is the trusted go-to, but I have had very good results with the patches from Phase4 (formerly Ageforce) and I find them very easy to put where ever I'm having an issue.

    Help identifying this arm injury??

    That sounds somewhat like what I had which I think was Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. In my case it was the nerve that goes past the funny bone in your elbow becoming irritated and out of place. As with all joint injuries, use very light weights to get blood flow through the area at least once a day...

    Testosterone clinics - Do they know what they are doing?

    This the key IMO. There is no substitute for self-education, and as I've pointed out many times, the body is a highly interconnected set of systems, and a lot of urologists and clinics are likely jumping straight to hormone-centric treatments when the underlying issue is something else like...

    NUTRITION MARKERS TO TARGET ON TRT AND WHILE AGING.

    It's worth noting that the body's need for Vitamin C rises massively when fighting an infection since Vitamin C is kind of like the body's version of "ammunition" for the immune system "gun". Also, it's almost impossible for most people to maintain D levels above 50 (where the evidence seems to...

    Experiences and Questions: Personal Experiments with Oral Native Testosterone Base & Enclomiphene (TRT+), Testosterone Propionate, HCG and more

    I strongly recommend the book "The Clot Thickens" for all things cardiovascular. Low LDL is not necessarily risk reducing. What you want is low triglycerides, low fasting insulin, sunlight, nitric oxide, good vitamin C and D levels and an avoidance of blood sugar spikes. That's a basic starter...

    First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback

    If you have an anti-viral protocol it sounds like now would be a good time to take it. If not, upping your Vitamin C dose to around 5grams and also ideally adding in liposomal C is a startig place to consider that has worked well for me. There are lots of other things like quercetin and beta...

    Testosterone clinics - Do they know what they are doing?

    If the reports we've seen here are an accurate sample, "board certified urologists" are no better than clinics. Different perhaps but not better.

    TRT+ other medications

    For someone who wanted to try the progression I described earlier in this thread, here’s an example of what it would look like using OP’s weights: A basic core progression could be: 325lbs 4 sets of 2 reps, adding one set each week for eight weeks until 12 sets of two reps is reached. Finish...

    TRT+ other medications

    I trained in a loosely similar way for several decades and after I got past about 70% of my likely potential (before which almost anything works) I ran into three big problems. The first is that I simply ran into a permanent plateau where I couldn't add any more weight or reps. The second is...

    TRT+ other medications

    Regarding Primobolin, it can have the affect of creating low estrogen symptoms and destroying libido. If you were going to try anything to add to TRT, I would vote for a LOW dose of oxandrolone, specifically no more than 10mg pre-workout, no more that 4 times per week. I'm increasingly of the...

    Low Ferritin Level and High HCT

    Are you sure you were maximally hydrated when you did the test? I think that can impact HCT. I've gone to getting tested late morning and drinking at least half a gallon of water beforehand which seems to help.

    Fatty liver and Trt

    Step one for organ fat is to eliminate the cause. Have you eliminated all added sugars (especially High Fructose Corn Syrup and sugary drinks) and seed oils especially corn and soybean oil? What does your diet and activity look like.?

    TRT and stacking for weight loss

    This is a massive topic. The first step for high BP is almost always adding potassium and losing unnecessary fat. Sensible weightlifting without overtraining is key. I recommend the book The Perfect Health Diet as a starting point for diet. Eat within an 8 hour window as much as possible. Avoid...

    The Link Between Muscle Quality and Erectile Dysfunction

    Myokines don't get much attention but are likely a big factor here as well. Muscles are effectively endocrine organs.

    I’ve gave in and started a cycle after lots of TRT frustration. Can I PCT off altogether or back on TRT

    Regarding training, overtraining and short-term extreme goals are very stressful in themselves and can cause a lot of problems because the body is in a constant state of stress. I also think 18 months of consistency toward any goal is a good timeframe and mindset to have. I say 18 months because...

    I’ve gave in and started a cycle after lots of TRT frustration. Can I PCT off altogether or back on TRT

    I used to come off of TRT for two months out of the year. Some things I learned that might be relevant for you. Don't expect to recover as quickly as you do on AAS. I would adopt a training protocol where you never do max effort reps and you may also want to go to a 9 day week for your training...

    Does Cypionate burn?

    Where are you injecting? I have occasionally had something similar when injecting in stomach fat, but not in the shoulders.

    Personal Nandrolone Experience

    Thanks for the report. Some things to consider... If you have access to a clinic that has a Hyperbaric Chamber, that can help with dizziness. The high pressure version is a standard treatment for people recovering from stroke, and a friend of mine who used it said it was the single biggest...

    First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback

    Ok, there are other things on the ED front like beet root powder for nitric oxide for example, however the libido issue sounds like you've overshot to the upside on some aspect of Testosterone, so letting it come down and then titrating up only if necessary and after libido has returned seems...

    First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback

    What else are you doing to prevent ED? That is one of the things T alone is least likely to fix, and in cases like yours where you are likely overdosed it can make it worse. Something in the Viagra family is an obvious first step but there are lots of other things as well.

    Benefits Add Up for Regular Aspirin Use

    When I looked into this, the affect of aspirin lasts for several days at least, so intermittent dosing makes sense. Also, from what I can tell, the bleeding risk is way overblown. People have been taking 81 per day for decades with no apparent issues. I take 325mg immediate release 2-3 times per...

    American men are hungry for injectable T: A legion of new health clinics are serving it up

    Something I've observed that may be driving some of the "more is better" mentality is that many people (mostly men) do their gym protocols in a manner that essentially comes down to "try harder", which is what the 1-2 sets to failure approach boils down to. This will work to some degree for the...

    Oxandrolone (Anavar) Medical Uses- Presentation Attached

    So are you saying Oxandrolone suppresses estradiol (which I've never heard anyone else report) or that it suppressed your Testosterone and that in turn suppressed estradiol?

    Lithium

    The anti-aging author and doctor, Dr. Sandra Kaufmann is a huge proponent of lithium. She covers it in one of her books I think and has spoken about it on several podcasts.

    Blood panel, how's mine look?

    If one has both HCG and Kisspeptin on hand, is there a case for alternating them by injecting each once per week? Are they potentially doing similar but slightly different and complimentary/synergistic things?

    Any Testosterone Propionate Compounding Pharmacies left?

    An observation...There have been several posters here over the years (the most recent one was about a year ago I think) who reported excellent results injecting at very long intervals, every three weeks in one case I remember. Of course there were people here who said that couldn't be true, but...

    HCG induced aromatase down regulation?

    I've had what could be a similar situation although I can't directly tie it to the HCG. I can definitely say that HCG does not necessarily rise E2. Mine was rock bottom for a while on test and HCG. I thought maybe something else was blocking aromatase like melatonin or Cialis, but maybe your...

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.
