    Zinc Supplements Can Lower Good (HDL) Cholesterol

    Did you supplement with copper alongside with zinc? Have you accessed your non-ceruloplasmin or free copper levels? Zinc can zap copper fairly quickly if proper copper isn't taken in. Not to say this is related to an insufficiency/deficiency of copper. By your description, sounds as there...

    Increase in CVD in Men on TRT

    Unfortunately this occurs outside of testosterone, or any other drug(s); e.g, aspirin, metformin, different antihypertensive drugs, vaccinations, ect. A very recent example, look how many contrasting disputes there's been over egg consumption in the last few years. Although, it reaches further...

    Increase in CVD in Men on TRT

    Maybe some of you guys missed it? There wasn't any clinical testing done in this particular study. It's looking at retrospective studies (past poorly designed studies) and trying to connect the dots to put blame on testosterone as an independent risk factor. Essentially this was a major waste...

    Increase in CVD in Men on TRT

    Why would big pharma take testosterone down? It's in their interest to have as many individuals on testosterone than not. It's a multi-billion market for "big pharma."

    Increase in CVD in Men on TRT

    This is from the full text. Keep in mind, cohorts offer helpful information on generalized observational studies. For the most part, they're not "cause and effect" designed studies such as that of RCT.

    My Experiment to Optimize Hematocrit and Iron

    A lot of times, our overall diet can hinder one's ability to regain an optimal ferritin level. As several foods, drinks and supplements can affect the assimilation of nutrients such as iron. Something to consider.

    Warning for Men on TRT: Low Ferritin is Bad

    I've been iron deficient on two occasions. I try to follow the suggestions outlined by the Iron disorder Institute. Accordingly, spinach inhibits iron uptake. Diet | Iron Disorders Institute To help aid in the absorption of iron, I'd suggest using 500mg of Vitamin C with heme foods and 300mg of...

    Anabolic steroids and TRT decrease SHBG, DHEA, pregnenolone and progesterone in men.

    In a nutshell: hCG--> serum progesterone-->ITT--> 17-hydroxyprogesterone-->5-alpha-pregnan-3-alpha-ol-20-one (allopregnanolone), which is a neuroactive steroid that binds with GABA(A) receptor. Net result--> better sense of well-being.

    Hematocrit ^ Blood Pressure low

    From the total information you provided only leads to guess work. My best guess, giving you was working out at the time of this onset, would be orthostatic hypotension from possibly dehydration. Was you taking in a lot of water/fluids prior and up to this point? As well sweating and urination...

    Preloading HCG

    Mixing isn't consider reconstituted? As well stated on the thread topic: "I Have Been Completely Wrong About Freezing HCG" (ellipsis too finish his comment) "...reconstituted, all along." Maybe we should have @Dr. Crisler elaborate on his comments. As it seems others at ATM view it as...

    Preloading HCG

    You can freeze hCG. I have for over 5 years without issue. I preload and freeze. Dr. Crisler has even noted this. http://www.allthingsmale.com/community/threads/i-have-been-completely-wrong-about-freezing-hcg.20820/

    high ferritin

    An elevated ferritin level could be from a few things. I would question if there's chronic inflammation going on, or a recent infection. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) can be associated with elevated ferritin levels. If you habitually drink alcohol, this can increase one's ferritin levels. As well...
