    Help with peptides!!

    Thats a good combo. You can buy it premixed together or separately. I prefer separately myself as I can adjust the dosage of each as I need to. Peptide Sciences is the best choice. They are reliable and you know what you are getting. There is a lot of junk that comes out of China which is why...

    Testosterone dosing amounts in postmenopausal women?

    I would, but I dumped FB and all other social media platforms a few years back. Look like you have quite a good following though.

    Testosterone dosing amounts in postmenopausal women?

    I would like to see some anecdotal reviews of the benefits (and side effects) from women on testosterone. It would be nice to hear it directly from the women themselves.

    Peptides supplier??

    I have never heard of them, but there are dozens of suppliers anymore. Peptide Sciences is the most reliable. They are not always the cheapest, but the quality is unmatched.

    Is Omega 3 an AR killer??

    Is Omega 3 an AR killer??

    Interesting question, where did you get the idea to ask it? Here is an interesting rat study, a bit off your question but still relative: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8260291/ 5. Conclusions The present study revealed for the first time the potential effects of omega-3 and omega-6...

    Interesting injury

    I am a lifelong gym rat and have managed to keep myself in good shape, but I can feel the difference as I get older. We just wear down over time and some parts just can't handle the same stress as they did when we were younger. Like you, I still give myself energetic workouts, but I don't do...

    Interesting injury

    I'm 68, if you are going to work out your neck at our age, start very slow with no weights at all for a while to adjust to the motion and get the correct form. Then do light weight only. The cervical discs in an aged spine are not something you want to push too hard.

    Interesting injury

    Was it a quick burning sensation followed by soreness? That happens to me occasionally. I have not quite figured out the cause, but have narrowed it down to these possibilities: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22639-cervical-radiculopathy-pinched-nerve...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    I understand that one of your top priorities is your hair. I share that concern with you. Since you have dug in to defending what is widely regarded as one of the worst drugs for men to take, I will leave you with this and wish you the best of luck. The entire study can be found here...

    Oral Minoxidil for Hair Loss

    That is true, although the newer lasers are much more effective than older models and even on some grey hair. If a person has a lot of grey, or just very light colored hair, laser would not be a good choice. Dark skin also makes a difference. I am fortunate to have very dark and course body hair...

    Oral Minoxidil for Hair Loss

    Results are good for most everyone, but the lighter your skin and the darker your hair improves the outcome. For this reason, it's not possible to predict a single success ratio for everyone. As a general rule, you need 10 to 12 sessions spread out over a 6-8 week period to achieve permanent...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    "While I am a full believer that Fin has side effects I also believe they mostly resolve just like any other drug." For some, that may be somewhat true. But for a very large subset of people who have taken oral Finasteride, the side effects were horrible. Some have never fully recovered. Here...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    "I understand it is not necessarily a fat loss agent. However, T does help increase metabolism and the increased lean body mass helps with a higher basal rate that helps weight loss. GLP1s are great if you just want to get thin and don't care that you are losing as much muscle as fat." That is...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    Embrace DHT fully, don't fall into the trap set by those who demonize it due to potential hair loss. As stated above, if it comes down to it you can buy a great hairpiece or just shave your head. Manly mojo brings far more overall satisfaction than hair does.

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    There are a lot of different opinions on TRT and HCG protocols. IMHO, your doctor started you on a protocol that I have had major success with personally. That is almost identical to what I have been doing for years. But since your concerns have been addressed by some very smart people above...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    What he^ said... Oral Finasteride is pure poison. Get off of it ASAP and make no other changes for 30-60 days. Then see how you feel. From a personal perspective, I was on oral Finasteride for 30 days back when it was new and people didn't have the info they do now. I lost all sensitivity in my...

    BPC-157 injection site importance?

    We had a member here that was a pretty good source but has since faded from contact. I don't know what happened there... Peptide Science is the absolute best out there at this point. They aren't always the cheapest, but you do want to be certain of what you are putting in your body.

    Oral Minoxidil for Hair Loss

    I have had great results with topical 15% Minoxidil. If oral Minoxidil causes hair growth in other parts of the body, then that is no bueno as I have spent 100's of $$$ on laser hair removal and DO NOT want to stimulate any growth anywhere but on my head. ;)

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.
