    Please tell me how vitamin D supplementation has caused calcium deficiency, let's discuss.

    What my AI thinks The core of your problem almost certainly lies in the interplay between Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Parathyroid Hormone. · Most Likely Scenario (90% Confidence): You have an underlying magnesium deficiency. Supplementing Vitamin D exacerbates this deficiency, leading to impaired...

    Need honest advice: Do I really need TRT? Low-normal T, low libido for years, anxiety/OCD background, little muscle growth

    Regarding your concerns about fertility, you could search the forum for oral testosterone. I have no experience with it but that's what I would use (if I had access to it) to start or try TRT.

    Need honest advice: Do I really need TRT? Low-normal T, low libido for years, anxiety/OCD background, little muscle growth

    I asked my AI, it suggested you try TRT. Imo, it sounds multifactorial. It's difficult to give any advice. Do you have a problematic porn consumption?

    Lowering trt dose/ increasing frequency of injections question

    To me it makes no sense. Maybe some looking only at the trough level and chase a magic number.

    Lowering trt dose/ increasing frequency of injections question

    If you keep the weekly T dose constant and increase the injection frequency, it will flatten the curve, i.e. it will reduce the peak and increase the trough T levels.

    Your T dose is probably too high. Is it 250mg/mL?

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    That's my experience (Proviron, Anavar) but I felt like I had to state that. Nandrolone was terrible for me, however, most guys encounter only benefits.

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    Using tren or any other AAS (but T) alongside with psychiatric medications seems like a terrible idea. On the other hand there might be benefits: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors directly alter activity of neurosteroidogenic enzymes - Excel Male Health Forum It might stop worsening of...

    Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors directly alter activity of neurosteroidogenic enzymes

    Proviron, Masteron, Oxandrolone is not (significantly) converted by 3α-HSD. Tren is converted by 3α-HSD into the more potent Tren-3α-ol. 3α-HSD: 3α-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase If SSRIs on TRT are still needed and one doesn't notice any of the supposed mental benefits of TRT, I would suggest...

    DHEA and Pregnenolone best times to take

    Haven't heard of such side effects. If there is an underlying anxiety issue then I think it's possible that it could be triggered because dhea can have a stimulatory effect. I would take it in the morning.

    Help me make up my mind about a change in protocol

    What's the difference in serum levels? Could you adapt the subq dose to match the IM levels? You could apply the cream to your shoulders. Another option is oral TU.

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    For me nandrolone was terrible even at a low dose. Currently the full name of tren is replaced by * indicating that it has no place in trt/hrt. Maybe it was never considered at very low dosages to supplement trt. Since on TRT, my impression is that I have more visceral fat relative to...

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    You are right. I think the Ctrl group should represent the healthy population. The high fat high sugar diet group represents the metabolic syndrome. .... With MetS and TD, tren showed benefits over test.

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    Vigorous Steve did research on this. For his body weight/composition about 25mg per week. I was looking into tren hex (Parabolan) bc of its long halflife. At low dose tren could work as sarm without spill over, i.e. sarm with anabolic and androgenic activity at muscle, fat, brain tissue. Maybe...

    Controversies with Testosterone Therapy - Management of Erythrocytosis and Elevated Estradiol

    Controversies with Testosterone Therapy - Management of Erythrocytosis and Elevated Estradiol

    Why the difference between TU and TE/TC? What dose and injection intervall? When topical is mentioned it probably means Androgel. Not the same as twice daily high percentage Testo cream. Etcetera You provided a much clearer correlation, i.e. accumulated free T. Oral TU is outstanding. Why...

    Controversies with Testosterone Therapy - Management of Erythrocytosis and Elevated Estradiol

    It's about Erythrocytosis. Maybe treat based on symptoms vs treat based on numbers. I recall an earlier study which linked E2 to Erythrocytosis, and it employed AI to manage it when E2 was high on modest TT levels.

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    Can you take about 4 weeks vacation or long-term cut your work hours in half? Can you take 2 months pause of fin? I guess your idea is that TRT gives that boost that would balance out your work stress. Maybe it would help (short term). Only opinions here, nobody can know for sure what's the...

    Tight or knotted muscles from TRT?

    Did you try magnesium supplements?

    Wild ride! Went from 120mg > 100mg > 80mg > 90mg. T is higher at 90mg 3x a week than 100mg 2x a week

    Yes. Your body will adjust. Maybe later you can tolerate more T and maybe it would give more benefits then.

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.
