Hey, quick question: Does anyone have one or two metered dispensers for testosterone cream — empty ones — maybe in different sizes? I’d be happy to pay for shipping. You just can’t buy a single one here in Germany — they only sell big packs, and they’re crazy expensive (like 100–150 bucks for...

Each domain peaks at slightly different arousal levels, so looking at multiple gives you the shape. Working memory → how well PFC holds and manipulates info Cognitive flexibility → how easily you switch sets or update rules Sustained attention → focus stability Motivation & fatigue → subjective...

Another thing I think I observed with adhd stimulants and that might be similar with androgens: I was wondering if, when you increase androgens or stimulants, and by that you get a kind of mood-lifting, drive-boosting effect, this could actually help long-term memory consolidation, but at the...

yeah actually that might be an interesting explanation and I thought about that in regards to stimulants. you drive the reward circiuits up to get more hard shit done but impair some other parts of cognition. I think same thing can be done with adhd stimulants especially after a honeymoon...

I did read in the study about the u shaped curve that superphysiological androgens actually cause a hypodopaminergic state, not hyper, which I first assumed. And apparently, gonadectomy also leads to a hypodopaminergic state. That’s interesting because I initially thought it would be the...

so you mean free testosterone is key? what ft to shoot for? or is there a certain way to find this out? is this really that high? When I read somewhere else then it seems like 20mg of prop doesnt seem so high.... ok there are the 150 IU hcg added.

Yeah, that’s basically the side-effect profile of therapeutic stimulants, I’d say. I’ve taken them on and off for quite a long time. How would you compare testosterone propionate with that? I haven’t tried cypionate yet — only test base and propionate. I think I’m kind of looking for that...

any idea why is that?

the guy 5ars who is selling the DHT propionate and enanthate wrote me the following: so if you would do 25mg per week this would mean the enanthate would last for 40 weeks which is 280 days which is 9,3 months. considering the enanthate costs 210$ 10ml with 100mg/ml then you would have monthly...

Unfortunately there is no Phlojel Ultra here in Germany. I could find "Pentravan" which is only available in bulk (500g for 90 Euro) with a shelf life of 6 months . Any recommendation for a good alternative?

I find it makes me look 5 years younger. Face looks more fresh, eyes sharper, and I like to do physical work for hours... Wondering if this will change in three years, or if I stop taking it, if I will look and feel older than if I never started it. @Nelson Vergel So the AI excerpt talks...

ah ok. I use testosterone propionate and hcg. so is testosterone propionate actually anabolic steroid or not? yeah, bell shaped too little and too much... does anybody have the full study? can't access it over sci hub https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306452224003063 how...

Hey, does anyone have a simple recipe for making scrotal testosterone cream? I’ve got testosterone base on hand and want to turn it into a cream, ideally something not too crazy, with easy-to-get ingredients and not too many steps. Maybe someone here has already done that and can recommend...

I've seen that some people measure their rate of aging using tools like genetic or epigenetic clocks (e.g., DNA methylation age). I'm wondering how different testosterone dosages, from standard TRT levels up to supraphysiological doses, might affect the speed of aging as measured by these...

How did you notice worse cognitive function? Would you say this applies to everyone, and that people might be engaging in self-deception if they claim otherwise? I was diagnosed with ADHD and switched from stimulant medication to TRT. I’ve noticed that testosterone propionate feels like an...

what is your reasoning behind this?

Are here people who use smart rings to track the effects of trt on sleep, hrv etc...? Or does anybody know if there groups, forums etc? Got oura ring and I am eager now to improve my sleep. Also courious what other things such a ring would be helpful for. I (m37, 25mg t prop, 150 IU hcg) tried...

did you try it? how does it feel?

I (m, 37) take 20mg testosterone proprionate IM and 150 IU Hcg IM. I sometimes noticed under certain circumstances e.g. while travelling, that when I missed some sleep then the next day I didnt sleep really much more. And I just can go on and still look the same and dont feel too much tired or...

do you know what dosage of k2? - do you know on what dosage of testosterone the doc is himself? - so you dont take any statin at all? - how would the statin worsen the metabolic health? (I might be able to switch out the 5mg rosuvastatine + 5mg ezetimibe with bempedoic acid 180mg + 5mg...

Currently I (37m) am taking 20mg testosterone propionate and 150 IU hcg per day. doing that since a couple of months. I asked the doc if he can check my carotis intima and so on to see if there is soft plaque etc.... He said I need to go to cardiologist. Question is now how to find a good...

ended up using the dht topical. Actually I liked the effect. gave me some buzz. had plenty of energy. actually a bit addictive. when using propionate before felt stressfull sometimes and emotionally a bit blocked. but not sure if it was because i was working all day when at home and using...

Ah yeah in your thread I also found viagra for cardiovascular health. Interesting. Can you recommend? This lowers blood pressure?

Natty I had around 550ng total t. So does 150 i.u. hcg not restore full testicular production with 550ng? What amount of fat would you suggest? Struggling to get Vitamin D to 50. Taking 10k i.u. daily since winter and before that 1k daily for two years or so. While supplementing 1k I was at...

today I compounded a scrotal cream myself — hydrogel with alcohol, around 100 mg/mL testosterone base. I applied about 1.5 mL this evening, so roughly 150 mg. But honestly, I have no clue how to interpret the effects. With propionate (20 mg/day), I had tons of energy all day — sometimes even...

Thanks for the in-depth explanation. Sounds like a very interesting book. I like the idea of a framework. I’ll definitely have a look. I'm curious: what are you doing for cardiovascular health? What changes did you implement after reading the book? On a different note: I not only ran out of...

Here are the full blood values in better image resolution. Link to images I asked ChatGPT to analyze the blood values based on the book "The Clot thickens". Actually not sure what sources ChatGPT used for this. :D Quick take Vascular protection looks good overall: LDL-C 46 mg/dL, TG 50 mg/dL...

Who is using or has tried DHT enanthate? Can you share your dose and results, and whether you noticed any difference compared to unesterified (base) DHT? Also, how would you describe the effect of DHT for someone who’s never taken it?

Another quick update: my propionate ran out today, there might be a tiny amount left, but not even 20 mg. My supplier hasn’t delivered yet. What I have on hand is native testosterone (so I could make a topical) and testosterone cypionate. I’m debating whether to start the cypionate now or try...

Yeah, I still need to read The Clot Thickens. I got the blood values from 01.08, but pregnenolone is missing—they didn’t run it. HDL and LDL aren’t moving. Hematocrit is now 47%; previously it was around 41% (no medication) to 44% (on enclomiphene). I’m not sure if ChatGPT calculated free...
