    Macroautophagy involves the formation of double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes that engulf larger cellular components, while microautophagy directly engulfs cytoplasmic material into lysosomes through membrane invagination. Both processes are essential for cellular recycling and...

    Sexual Devices for Vulva Owners

    The short answer is no. Vulva's do not depreciate the way Volvos do. If you were to go to a dealership and try to trade in your Vulva, you would likely end up in jail. Vulvas get far better mileage than Volvos, thus they have a much longer lifespan. And while I do enjoy driving, the pleasure I...

    Mitochondrial Health: A key to Aging & Recovering Well- Urolithin A Supplement

    I believe that some European countries have strict supplement guidelines. I agree that we should have that as well. Just as long as it doesn't become corrupt like the FDA. I also agree that the basics should be paramount to any supplement or drug. But I can see real potential in this one for...

    Mitochondrial Health: A key to Aging & Recovering Well- Urolithin A Supplement

    Good information. Obtaining the patent and FDA approval was an expensive endeavor. That allows for statements to be made as to efficacy, which is a major part of their marketing. Also, being in sales for most of my life, a higher priced product has a certain appeal in that it makes it appear to...

    Mitochondrial Health: A key to Aging & Recovering Well- Urolithin A Supplement

    Taking into consideration the half-life of Urolithin A, which is 17 to 22 hours, dosing would appear to be best taken daily. Recommended dosages range from 250 mg to 1000 mg. Most of the studies indicate that the ideal dose is age dependent. As a younger person, a dose of 250 mg might be...

    Anyone got a solid recipe for making scrotal testosterone cream (using testosterone base)?

    Use unestered T if possible. I use both DMSO cream and Phlojel Ultra as a base. The last few jars of DMSO burned like Hell, so I am not currently recommending that until they get it figured out. So, start with the Phlojel base: https://www.jarpharmaceutical.com/phlojel-ultra You will need a...

    List of Over 65 Peptides, Their Use, and Common Dosages

    The main reason is that they actually took Tesamorelin, a new peptide to the finish line with an FDA approval. Since Ipamorelin was already in use and readily available, there was no money in it. Ipam will give you the same results sans the FDA approved label. For a lot less money ;)

    Tesamorelin vs. Ipamorelin: Properties Tesamorelin is approved for the treatment of HIV-associated lipodystrophy. This very narrow approval belies the peptide's wider use as an agent for altering body composition. Research indicates that Tesamorelin can reduce fat mass, boost muscle and bone...

    Crypto for buying pepetides

    Most all peptide suppliers take credit cards. Crypto is mainly used by those selling less than legal items, sometimes it's a necessary evil, but not for peps. If you have a peptide site asking for crypto, you should move on as that is a red flag. They are likely based in China, which isn't...

    Help with peptides!!

    Thats a good combo. You can buy it premixed together or separately. I prefer separately myself as I can adjust the dosage of each as I need to. Peptide Sciences is the best choice. They are reliable and you know what you are getting. There is a lot of junk that comes out of China which is why...

    I would like to see some anecdotal reviews of the benefits (and side effects) from women on testosterone. It would be nice to hear it directly from the women themselves.

    Interesting injury

    I am a lifelong gym rat and have managed to keep myself in good shape, but I can feel the difference as I get older. We just wear down over time and some parts just can't handle the same stress as they did when we were younger. Like you, I still give myself energetic workouts, but I don't do...

    Interesting injury

    I'm 68, if you are going to work out your neck at our age, start very slow with no weights at all for a while to adjust to the motion and get the correct form. Then do light weight only. The cervical discs in an aged spine are not something you want to push too hard.

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.
