We’re entering the dark ages soon. Maybe someone in here can figure out how to synthesize hormones themselves LOL

I still don’t understand why Empower doesn’t do propionate anymore but still sells anavar troches (marshmallow flavor! Yippie!)…

I’ve been taking 5mg of topical dhea as well, didn’t realize that Empower was once again down scaling. Pregnenolone doesn’t sit well with me for some reason but that’s the fun and agony of dialing in!

What else are you taking on your protocol?

I take 5mg of topical dhea everyday. Not sure if it benefits muscle recovery but I feel calmer

I know you don’t post anymore but do you still use this protocol?

So when are they bringing back test prop and custom blends?

Nice write up! Any noted sides or tingling? You mentioned no pain which is pretty great

Update: protocol is still doing well, I actually increased dose a little bit because I think I wasn’t aromatizing enough. I’m a lab verified low aromatizer. Up to 15 mg a day, feeling even better. I wonder if I was getting low estrogen at night and was getting low estrogen symptoms such as dry...

Just heads up on prami be careful because nausea is very common on it. I tried it once for sleep and the entire night I couldn’t decide if I wanted to masturbate, gamble or vomit. Didn’t help with sleep much lol!

Anyone on here experimented with e4?

Update: been back on the protocol for about a week and feeling better. Itching hasn’t been an issue, sleep hasn’t been the greatest but still working on that. I’m going to try to add a tiny bit of testosterone cream to protocol because of an odd side effect I got with it. For some reason...

Maybe, only thing is I’ve been using it for so long I feel it’d cause the opposite effect

I’ve decided to start this protocol up again alongside my low histamine diet. It still felt the absolute best and most realistic to natural levels. I will keep note of any itching in the next couple weeks and will do more thorough testing overall. I will also be testing inflammation markers with...

Sorry I saw your DM and forgot to respond- came down with something and I’m feeling under the weather. On the bottles themselves and in their forum posts they mention ethyl oleate

I found on solvent free prop my peak was more like 12 hours later which is why I liked to inject before bed

Even at a very low concentration?

Will do!

It honestly depends on the formulation. I can get away with prop at night in gso over prop in mct. But there’s a significant difference for me in BB free prop vs regular. If something has BB I won’t sleep well- even cyp destroys my sleep quality though I feel cyp is an inferior ester for many...

Also I think from now on I’m going to record my symptoms and reactions to things far better. In retrospect, I over stated and over reacted to some of the symptoms on the protocol in my previous posts. The itching was bad though. I need to get better at getting frequent labs too, first and...

I am going to give it a break while going back on a low histamine protocol then giving it a try again. I will say, other than the itching, I didn’t have my typical histamine reaction of anxiety, nervousness, insomnia, feeling “off” (almost like I’m high from running on adrenaline 24/7), bp...

No PIP whatsoever luckily. If you can find MCT prop without BB and EO please lmk

That’s a great idea, AIP actually has a ton of crossover with the histamine intolerance protocol. Unsurprisingly, most things that can influence autoimmune responses are high in histamines. My diet is generally very good, high in fruits and veggies and the only grain I consume (which technically...

I started feeling the itching about 3 weeks ago which alleviated when dropping the protocol

Update: I had to unfortunately drop this protocol as it seems I slowly got more and more sensitive to the ethyl oleate that pharmacom puts in their propionate. I started getting itching spells, slowly worsening sleep, and other histamine intolerance symptoms again. And yet, they still were no...

I wonder if this is similar to the cream base that Empower discontinued about a year or two ago. I never tried it, but others have mentioned it’s similar to a gel like consistency similar to your liposomal gel this Dr. prescribes. I actually got decent bloods on androgel but it’s so...

Where are you applying your cream? I’d also recommend getting bloods soon. I personally don’t absorb cream well, I do like using it but with a base of 100mg of test enanthate a week

Funkodyssey seems to be one of the more self-aware people on this forum, he’s tried about everything and has documented things decently well. I tried asking ChatGPT for an answer and it came up with anything from systemic inflammation to histamine intolerance to liver congestion. It...

I’m in the same boat, the only supplements and meds i tolerate are l theanine, topical dhea, my testosterone and Tylenol pm. This started about 3 years ago, coincidentally when i first started testosterone cypionate. I’m hoping since I’ve been off cyp since July things will reset. I got back to...

Will do! I’m very sensitive to benzyl benzoate too, I don’t tolerate cypionate or regular propionate

Yes there is still benzyl alcohol as preservative, I believe it’s 1%.
