Probably this should be it's own thread. My Doc's office was suggesting Saw Palmetto. Unfortunately anything that is a 5ar inhibitor is going to do that not only on your head but throughout the body. The Post-Finasteride-Syndrome is probably a result not of Finasteride but inhibiting 5ar in the...

"Hypertrichosis was the most common adverse effect, reported by 49% of the oral group and 25% of the topical group. There were no significant changes in heart rate and blood pressure." That's interesting. I know with topical, I suspect some drips down and puts hair where it is unwanted. With...

It'd be interesting to hear results from anyone who tries this. I know some of my hairloss is DHT because I won't take a 5ar inhibitor. The side effects (cardiac) of oral minoxidil are definitely offputting. I would rather have a shiny dome than a flaky ticker. Too bad there are no studies on...

@Condrad94 - how did this work out for you? I have taken low dose Adex on and off ( 0.1 mg EOD).. lately I have no libido and can't feel an orgasm. I have been on it this time for longer than before. I'll probably drop the AI and see if I return to normal.

I just noticed that most Levothyroxine (including Synthroid and many generics) has pills that are colored. The ingredients used to color the pills are in the Aluminum Lake family. It's probably not a lot of aluminum in each pill but with a daily dose for decades it has to add up. That aluminum...

I read that someone took 1 cap of Jarrow Brand IP6 + 1200 mg NAC daily and it reduced their HCT/HGB and need to donate blood. This video briefly mentions that: Has anyone had any success with this?

I think you mean over 52 not over 42. Have you eliminated iron in your diet? For me that seemed to help. What is your T dose? Have you tried more frequent dosing and/or a lower dose? Have you tested for sleep apnea?

I'm reading that the transplant docs want you to take Finasteride as well. Otherwise the existing hair you have falls out and all that's left is the transplanted stuff.. or something like that.

I just got a vial of Padagis which says manufactured by Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing in Michigan. This is newer labeling than the OP of the thread and presumably a different batch. I have Lot# 87521 Expiring January 2025. I don't start this vial right away, but would like to know about...

I have always been using generics and they have seemed to work. There have been several brands but when looking at the manufacturer info on the package, they all have been made by the same company in Portugal. I have been on TRT for years and get labs that reflect the dose I took. I did get one...

Is there a brand of strips you like or are they all the same? Would the idea be to measure the saliva in the morning upon waking and then take a capsule, then check the next morning to see what the change was? i.e. measure at trough? Then once a good dose is found, stay with it or is there a...

Do you have a brand you recommend? What about dosage? Thank you!

Looking at other sites, some of the Indian HCG comes pre-diluted. I'm thinking for maximum shelf-life, I should get lypholized rather than pre-diluted. Is that right? Would keeping the lypholized powder in the fridge extend shelf life?

That's great you have insurance coverage. To my knowledge, mine does not cover "fertility" so both HCG/FSH isn't covered.

Nice. So you're actually taking 5000 iu each week. I think over 65 million is supposed to be OK, but I'd think more is better so the FSH (probably HMG) would have to boost you even more. Do you notice an increase in testicle size and firmness?

250 mg a week of T is a high dose 1.25cc of 200mg/ml. Is that TRT or body building? 500mg is even more. How long have you been on T? The 1666 ius of HCG is weekly, right? How are you breaking up that dose? Congratulations on the 91million swimmers, nonetheless. I've been reading about people...

Agree with all.. I'm lean and it's marginal. I bought a bunch of 5/16" needles by accident. Sometimes it seems like a little of the oil leaks out unless I get it perfect. Normally I use the .5" syringe and don't have any problems.

Question for Gene and others doing the stack: I'm assuming the bed time dose is taken right before sleep. What time is that appx? How many hours before that is your last meal of the day? Thanks!

How much of each are you taking? Once per day or split over different times?

Has anyone tried a variation of this where it's taken just 1x daily? I ask because this would be cheaper to do if I use powders and I take some other powdered supps in the morning. If I really need to dose 3x day then capsules are going to be more convenient.

Thanks, that'd get a little expensive. I think 25ug is 1000iu

Thanks, it sounds like it is from urine then.. If anyone knows of an Indian rHCG, please post.

I'm not on HCG but do think about it. Given the experimental "vaccines" that many people have taken in the last couple of years, I would prefer to not take a risk that some spike residue is in their urine. rHCG seems like it would be safer in that regard. For those getting HCG from India or...

My last bloodwork on Grapefruit Seed Extract did not seem to make a difference. I have already somewhat slowed the HGB growth by reducing iron intake (no red meat). My Ferritin when last tested a long time ago was depleted from phlebotomies which also helps. If Naringin works by reducing iron...

Every drug has effects/side-effects. It's about judging the risk-benefit.

Tried Dapoxetine yesterday. The key seems to be to take it 2 hours or more before needed. 5 hours later, it was working, even early AM the next day.

I do have some of that and tried it a couple of times. I think it did help, but I didn't notice too much difference. Maybe I didn't take enough or take it enough in advance. Any tips?

Few questions.. I take a little Cialis daily and then I can get a good erection when stimulated. I would like to take something to make myself last longer before orgasm. From my reading in this thread, Trimix does that as a side effect. 1. Would taking Trimix make me dependent on it for an...

Do you (or anyone on GSE) have Ferritin/Iron numbers? Do we know the method of action of GSE? i.e. Is it reducing gut iron absorption or reducing the formation of new RBCs?

This and Nelson's study are interesting. I'm looking to control HCT/Hb while having normal iron/ferritin. Right now I do phlebotomy and don't eat beef. That slows the growth of HCT/Hb but iron/ferritin are low. Looking at Nelson's study it says that they think Curcumin works by inhibiting iron...
