Hi all, I've been on TRT for 1.5 years now and absolutely love it. Mood, energy levels, libido, are all improved. In the case of libido, my wife says it is TOO improved but that's another story. I'm 48 years old and have been doing BJJ for 6 years. BJJ is really hard on the joints (as is age)...

Does DHEA serve any purpose other than converting into estrogen and testosterone? If I'm on TRT, I don't really need an additional source of either of those. Does it do anything on its own? My doctor prescribed me some because it was low. But why? It did seem to increase my acne but I didn't...

Hi all. I've been on TRT for about a year. Officially, I'm at 120mg/week with a low dose AI for much of that period. Perhaps I'm misguided but I procured a UGL HCG source to periodically use in order to keep my testicles functional in case I ever have to stop TRT (supply chain issues, etc.). I...

Six weeks ago I had to switch from enanthate to cypionate due to supply chain problems. Today I was informed by the pharmacy that they won't have either enanthate or cypionate until April 2022 and that I'd have to switch to a topical. I know in the USA, you have more supplier options. I don't...

I'm on 60mg x 2 Test C (started with E but switched due to supply issues). I recently started a low dose AI (.25 x 2 Amiridex). These are my hormone labs... Let me start by saying that I take supplements for three reasons: 1. Recovery - I'm 46 and do BJJ 5 days per week. It is tough on the...

I'm sure it is technically challenging and prohibitively expensive, but I wish there was a cost effective machine that could test TT, FT, and/or E2 at home. You can get a hematocrit testing machine for about $150 on Amazon. Obviously glucose testing. I would think the market for at-home T...

I'm on 120mg/week enanthate sub q (2 x 60mg/week) and nothing else (other than OTC supplements). I can't believe how much my T levels increased. I met with my doctor this morning and he is adding a low dose AI to bring down the E a bit but otherwise everything looks great. And most importantly...

Do OTC vitamin/mineral/herbal supplements have a significant impact on meaningful labs (free T, SHBG, E2)? Or do they only have a minor impact? I ask because I take a lot of supplements and wonder if I'm potentially doing things that are counter-productive or if I'm wasting my money because...

Saw palmetto and lycopene both seem to benefit the prostate by reducing the effects of androgen which seems to defeat the purpose (at least part of it) of TRT. Are there supplements that reduce prostate inflammation / support prostate health without impacting androgen... or at least selectively...

Hi all. I am a 46 year old male from Calgary, Canada. I just started TRT 8 days ago. My doctor has me on 60x2/week of testosterone enanthate. I've read that many of the benefits of TRT take months to manifest but I'm feeling way better already. In fact, my libido felt noticeably higher less than...
