[QUOTE="HanginOn, post: 104083, member: 17088"] Dr. Rand, Hello again and I hope you are able to answer these sooner rather than later. I have heard some doctors say it's time to donate when your Hematocrit gets above 54. Do you agree with this or do you advise at another value? From my battery of testing over the last few yrs, I think my acne is caused by elevated DHT...I think I just convert a lot to DHT because my E2 even when in check...I get acne. The only thing that halts the oil production, acne, and cystic like acne is low dose accutane. 20mg/day for 6-8 months works wonders. Is there another way I can best curb DHT without taking a hit to my sex drive? I re-read my notes from your old videos and you said you have many athletes taking 2grams of mag glycinate with dinner. (We already discussed some of this earlier) but now that the highest potency CAPSULES are 150mg...do you really have guys taking 12-14 of these in a sitting? Would Magnesium Glycinate be better spaced out through the day or does it not matter if it's a bolus consumption? I also noted you try to keep your athletes above 2.2 for Magnesium. I assume this is the Magnesium, Serum test....which I have heard there might be better ways of testing magnesium? Mine is at 2.4 and slightly above the top range of 2.3. I am assuming this is not an issue? Please advise. I am drawing bloods tomorrow for a ton of things, but I have been using Boron at 9mg AM and PM the last 2 months. It is said to boost free test levels, so I will be able to answer that in the next week. I am also testing for SHBG to see if that is the way levels climb. Do you know of anything as or more effective than Boron at raising free test? I am also having an IGF-1 test too to evaluate Ibutamoren. I am certain I am forgetting other things at the moment but will add as they come to me. Thank you for your time and expertise as you are one of the only people I trust for their educated opinion.
