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'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...

Hi, looking for some "theory" here based on your experience. I'm trying to understand the effects of replacing some T in my protocol with Nandrolone vs. adding Nandrolone on top of the existing Testosterone dose. Here goes.. 1. Nandrolone drives polycythemia more than Testosterone. a. If I am...

Hey all, My GF (40 years old) has never done real labwork. I've got her eating healthy and working out. She said her doctor will order whatever she asks for. For a man, I know what labs are important. Some of those are the same for women, but they have the added complication of the female...

I have a baseline IGF-1 value and have been using MK677 for a few weeks. I'd like to run labs and check progress. How long does it take from increased GH levels to show up in the IGF-1 test? Thanks!

Hi, I have been taking 3/4 grain Naturethroid and 20 mcg Cytomel at about 3:30 am when I wake up to pee. At 8:15am, I did a blood draw. Results: TSH 0.922 (0.45 - 4.50) FT3 6.1 (range 2.0-4.4) FT4 0.67 (range 0.82-1.77) Am I taking too much cytomel or is this just a function of testing a...

I'm almost 50 now and have been training - running, weight lifting for 25 years. I'm fit, probably 12% BF. I don't run long distances. I do a 20 minute trail run once per week and a few hill sprints at max effort on another day. I remember when I was in my 30s that my resting pulse would be in...

I take a tiny amount of anastrazole -- about 0.1mg EOD. I have been cutting up the pills and measuring with a scale. My scale has become flaky and I'm thinking it would be more accurate to dissolve 1mg in 1ml of water and take it that way instead. Yes, I know I could get it compounded into...

Hi, I try to take in all of the data and make my own decisions. I've been thinking about adding a GH peptide and know about the benefits, but I have read that higher IGF-1 is cancer promoting, that we should strive for a lower IGF-1. I remember this being promoted by proponents of...

I read that thyroid meds can increase SHBG. Questions: 1. I have not found definitive info if it is the T4 in the meds or the T3 or both that cause this effect? 2. Is there any info on dose-response of Thryoid on SHBG? I'm being treated for hypogonadism (Cypionate 200mg/weekly +...

I'm hoping someone else has run into this... Background: Anion Gap (AG) is calculated. A high value indicates acidosis. It is sometimes reported when you order a CMP, if not, it is easily calculated using the Sodium, Chloride and CO2 from the CMP with the following formula: AG=NA -...

I have heard that the topicals do not work for a receding hairline, just for hairloss in the typical top/back of skull. Anyone know of success fighting the receding hairline? Thanks, Mark

Hi, I just started HCG. I have been on T-Cyp for years. The kit came with an 18G needle for mixing the water into the powder. This is a big needle and made a big hole in the rubber stopper. Maybe even bigger as I was pointing the water at the side of the vial. Today I did my second...

Hi All, First post, hopefully a good one. I've read the main thread on managing Polycythemia (elevated HGB/HCT) caused by TRT. One post in there by Nelson references a correlation between elevated DHT and Polycythemia. (link removed as I don't have 4 posts yet) I am on 100mg T-Cypionate...
