    I found a TRT protocol that works

    I did pellets for a couple of years and enjoyed the experience very much except for one thing: getting insertions four times a year for, say 15 years, leads to 60 incision in my rear end. I am also a bleeder, so i had to get the incisions stitched each time...no big deal. However, the incision...

    Lab Work - Can't Get Better It Seems - UPDATE

    I moved from pellets to injections right at five years ago. I was initially with Low T Nation and they started me on test cyp and HCG from the get-go. I moved from Low T Nation to Defy a little over a year ago and Defy continued the test cyp, HCG and added B12, anastrozole, DHEA and a thyroid...

    Egg White Protein vs Whey Protein

    Trying an experiment after I ran in to a fitness trainer that recommends, and uses, egg white protein instead of whey protein and he see the same results personally and for his customers. So, I thought to try it...a little bit cheaper, but not much. I was taking - each morning after working...

    Lab Work - Can't Get Better It Seems - UPDATE

    I wasn't sure what to be expecting, so I thought to reach out and gauge other's experiences against my own. I appreciate the responses and it appears I need to be patient while my body adapts to the new regiment. "If you end up changing more than one thing at a time than the road can be very...

    Defy Medical/Empower Tadalafil ODT

    IM Quad Injections

    I was instructed by Defy to revert back to IM injections. So, I thought I’d try the quads. I use a 27g 1/2” set-up to inject 70mg of test cup. I injected into the outer quad - side - of the thigh. The injection was painless. The next day it was good...a small bruise. The second day, it...

    Ipamorelin CJC 1295 Withdrawals

    Other changes: seems Not yet...the care under Low T was very poor. I never once spoke to a Doctor there, or even a PA. I struggled to even get in touch with someone. So, I had to self-regulate and play around with my dosing myself. Dr. Saya said that my blood work somewhat reflected that...

    Shallow IM to SubQ Switch - It is On!

    Shallow IM to SubQ Switch - It is On!

    So, I had been doing shallow IM (25g x 5/8") into the upper arm for the last year or so. I cannot do this injection myself, for whatever reason...so, the wife had been doing it. I recently switched - using the same 25g x 5/8" needle to subq in the glute. When doing, I, or the wife, slightly...

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
