    Vitamin D May Slow Cellular Aging

    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...

    Boswellia the "best" supplement for pain management in knee osteoarthritis

    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.

    Vitamin E, an Antioxidant, As a Possible Therapeutic Agent for Treating Pain

    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...

    Male...gaining slight fat with cellulite in thighs all of a sudden even with normal lab results

    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...

    Melatonin Supplementation Enhances Next-Day High-Intensity Exercise Performance and Recovery in Trained Males: A Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study

    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...

    Peptides for arthritis?

    Ibutamoren is definitely not for me - i tried 5mg yesterday, in the morning this time. Within a couple of hours, i felt 'off' mood wise. That evening, i struggled to eat my dinner and ended up throwing most of it in the bin. My sleep last night was even worse than the night i tried 10mg -...

    Warning for Men on TRT: Low Ferritin is Bad

    Peptides for arthritis?

    So, i tried my first dose of ibutamoren last night, 10mg, and was very much looking forward to the enhanced sleep i keep reading about. Ended up having the worst nights sleep in ages, totally 'tired but wired' type feeling. I gave up around 4:30am and got up. Not the sleep result i was expecting...

    Peptides for arthritis?

    Thanks for the reply @Cataceous. I was considering giving it a try (same, low dose of 10mg) as i reacted badly to ipamorelin and mod grf 1-29 when i tried it. Someone in another thread mentioned that ibutamoren (somehow) helped with their shoulder impingement, which i have. Plus, it's potential...

    Peptides for arthritis?

    Hi @Cataceous - curious about you adding the ibutamoren. How are you taking this, fasted, or with/near a meal? Is there any concern about it affecting blood sugar or causing insulin resistance at that dosage? If so, are you taking anything (metformin, berberine etc) to control that?

    Joint Pain and Supplements

    Yes, i am (more 'was') also concerned about possible toxicity. I'd been taking 5000iu for many years, but in the past year my rheumatic thumb joints have been causing me a fair amount of trouble.

    Joint Pain and Supplements

    I find it odd that the letters 'c' 'b' & 'd' get edited/censored to '***', but THC doesn't!! Might explain why when i tried to search it on the site, i got no results, but searching the site through google gave results (as ***)

Free Testosterone

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