Strange coincidence - i had shoulder x-rays done two weeks ago (i'd thought i was getting an mri to look for rotator cuff damage, but they did x-rays instead). The specialist said they are arthritic and bone on bone, and the only 'cure' would be replacements. I'm not having that done though...

I ended up buying the ultra-micronised one (for horses) that i mentioned above, and started Wednesday evening with a meal. I'll be taking 1200mg, split 600/600 as per the article Nelson posted, for the first month or so, and update here. I'm mostly hoping it'll help calm down the shoulder pain i...

I'm very close to buying it, due to it being ultra micronized and so much cheaper than anything else i've seen. Just a bit concerned about potential contaminants (maybe heavy metals?) due to it not being human grade. But saying that, i buy supplements through ebay all the while, and i always go...

I did once and didn't really get much from it at the time. I'm not sure i trusted the brand i bought though to be honest. I'm thinking of trying it again to see if it helps with my shoulder pain (had x-rays this week showing severe osteoarthritis in both). It's not cheap to buy here in the UK -...

Great post Nelson, that was a really useful article. I'm definitely guilty of 'catastrophizing', in fact i'm currently job hunting and that mind set pretty much defines my thinking pattern to a tee.

I swapped from ventro glutes to deltoids after my surgeries - i didn't want to go anywhere near the wounds just in case.

Interesting! I asked our old friend chatgpt to look at that study and give its opinion as to why these results may have occured - You said: Hi chatgpt. Could you please look at this study and give your opinion as to why people on testosterone in the study were more likely to have post...

Yep, the sleep on it is fantastic, even though it usually requires redosing during the night (tend to wake after around 4hrs). And i also used to be able to buy it (around 1997 when i bought my house). There was an online store called 'Softearth' if i remember right - sold it in granule form...

I wonder if the OP ever tried the dhea he was recommended, it always spikes my libido. A good quality tongkat ali supplement also has that effect on me, but unfortunately it also aggravates the rheumatoid arthritis i get in my thumb. But in my opinion, the absolute ultimate on demand libido...

Ok, i have this now and have tried it for the past two days. My verdict - absolute waste of money. No discernable effect whatsoever, not a beneficial one anyhow. I'd have been better off using the money to buy more modafinil, which i am fond of.

I do yes - i take around 500mg of magnesium per day (combined glycinate, malate and citrate), plus a combined mk4 / mk7 vit k2 supplement.

It does sound interesting, and i'm hoping it lives up to the hype as i've some on order in nasal spray form. I found this on reddit the other day that convinced me (hoping i can post reddit links on here) -

Have you tried bromantane in any form @Cataceous ? If so, what's your opinion of it?

No not yet, i've had too much on my plate recently to think about it (looking for work being part of it).

Hi all, Just after opinions on my latest blood test results. My back story - so i've doing my own, self prescribed trt for 3 years now (since Sept 2022). This has been using UGL testosterone enanthate, 300mg/ml. Always same brand and seller (it's their own brand, not a reseller, and the most...

Four years on, did you end up trying this @sammmy ? I've got some on the way to me, in nasal spray form.

I had a nice little chat with chatgpt about applying transdermal androsterone to the scrotum, if anyone's interested- You said: Hi chatgpt. Do you know what effect applying a transdermal adrosterone product to the scrotum would be, if any? ChatGPT said: Yes, applying a transdermal...

I was considering trying out this transdermal androsterone product some months back, but never got around to actually buying it. I must look into it again, for the benefits you mentioned - https://www.predatornutrition.com/prohormones/alpha-gainz/1-andro-td.html

Yep, i'm covered with the cofactors - a combined k2 mk4 / mk7 supplement, plus also plenty of magnesium.

Back around xmas 2008 i got tonsilitis. Doc gave me antibiotics, but it didn't quite shift it, and within a day or two of finishing the course i went downhill rapidly. The tonsilitis became bronchitis. I lost my voice, completely. More antibiotics. These didn't work, so i was prescribed a...

Awesome! I've just ordered some from ebay - i noticed when looking that there were lots of listings for boswellia for horses. I figured, horses are expensive so owners won't bother with supplements that don't work.

You and this article i found has convinced me to give boswellia a try - Thread 'Boswellia the "best" supplement for pain management in knee osteoarthritis' Boswellia the "best" supplement for pain management in knee osteoarthritis - Excel Male Men's Health Forum

This came up today on the suppversity f/book page - https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/15/2547?fbclid=IwdGRleAMfoOpjbGNrAx-gw2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEeHYp5py8KUwXmaz_WjwRFHHgC0PNs6jOtIF5T10lk29TmWF4oGHkiMi_rQb8_aem_xnC9TAQ44x9iVSCSmgloAQ Never tried it before, but after reading this, plus what...

I'm currently taking a vit E supplement, (but then i've been a bit of a supplement junkie for most of my life!). It's a base of 400iu alpha tocopherol, but has mixed tocopherols in it too. I'm mainly on it again because, i take quite a bit of omega 3, but also i read about it somewhere helping...

Not disputing that Olympia competitors, taking large amounts of steroids resulting in very high e2 levels would benefit from using ai's to reduce their e2 levels because, as you said, there's a range. But the discussion was about the OP and his natural hormonal levels, and his question as to...

Something i've noticed that seems fairly consistent with me - i always get morning wood, plus a stronger libido during the day, if i've had melatonin the night before. I didn't take any last night (i take it during the night if i wake up, rather than right before bed), and i didn't have morning...
