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

    PhloJel is manufactured in Canada. Do they not ship to Germany?

    DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost

    ED/low libido even with TRT

    What you are describing is more common than you might think. A few things come to mind that may help. For one, that is a very large dose of HCG. You would be better off to break it into 3-4 weekly doses of 250-300 IU's. You didn't mention your age. Have your prolactin levels checked, elevated...

    Testing out Proviron for Libido

    Interesting, the 5AR Society is now offering DHT Propionate, and it's cheaper than the Enanthate: https://5arsociety.com/product/dht-propionate-50mg-ml/

    Testing out Proviron for Libido

    I buy powder in bulk and make my own cream, search the forum for specifics. Also, DHT Enanthate is available here: https://5arsociety.com/product/dhte-100mg-ml/ Also search the forum for that topic. Several members have ordered it and tried it out. I have not used it personally, and have not...

    GHB is awesome. Best sleep ever! I used be able to buy it in health food stores. If I knew how to make it, I would.

    Testing out Proviron for Libido

    I have had a libido bump from all of the above albeit short lived. For whatever reason, Melanotan 2 was intense at first, but I was getting moles, so I had to stop. Proviron is great used sporadically but it fades quickly (for me anyway). DHT has been the one true constant product for libido...

    Unlocking the Science: Breaking Down Hair Loss Treatments

    I have seen the results of this from people I know who have had it done. It expensive, but results are very good if you haven't lost too much of your hair. If you are slick bald, don't bother as it will not give you enough volume.

    Unlocking the Science: Breaking Down Hair Loss Treatments

    This treatment works very well. Zero side effects from 1% topical finasteride. Also, the Minoxidil I use is at 15% with Azeliac acid to aid in absorption. I have had very good results with this combo.

    TRT Peaks and troughs or steady levels. Which is correct?

    I follow your logic and agree to a certain extent. However, I do disagree on this particular subject. I believe the natural diurnal rhythm to be ideal. As @madman stated, the body is not supposed to be in a state of elevated testosterone for extended periods of time. That throws off the balance...

    TRT Peaks and troughs or steady levels. Which is correct?

    I'm not certain what you were referring to exactly. The statement is referring to the daily ebb and flow of testosterone, not stating that TRT doesn't have its purpose. I have been on bi weekly T Cyp for 20 years with excellent results. But if we could replicate the natural diurnal cycle with...

    TRT Peaks and troughs or steady levels. Which is correct?

    "Natural endogenous testosterone secretion is pulsatile and diurnal." This is an inarguable fact that is often overlooked or brushed aside. You cannot improve on the natural cycle. It's the ebb and flow that creates balance.

    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

    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...

    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...
