DHB (1-test cyp) solo, would it be worth doing?

Got the idea from that thread. Would it be worth running SOLO (not on TRT), just a small weekly dose of 50mg?

I, like that poster, get no benefits from testosterone itself, call me a non responder if you will. But maybe 1-test cyp would have an effect?

Thoughts? Would this cause shutdown?

No!
You need test to aromatize
I don't respond well to testosterone because of low shbg and if I increases my T then estradiol becomes a problem.
Dhb doesn't bind to shbg and it doesn't aromatize hence I added it to my TRT and it works great.

I don’t remember your full protocol, could you remind us?
 
50mg DHB added to TRT.

Eli have you ever tried another ester besides cypionate? Did you ever test your dht on cypionate? Mine runs low on cypionate, and I keep seeing low shbg guys being poor converters. I have the exact same issues as you and have found that the only form of test that works is the scrotal cream but don’t want to do that because of the hairloss. I’m not a guy to add dhb (not judging, just not for me) to injections lol. Just curious if you had tried other esters.

Same here, cream on scrotum is a god send but hairloss gets horrible.
Have you tried daily injections subq?
I've tried mast, tren, dhb, ment with trt, DHB is the best one because it doesn't bind to shbg and it's powerful with low sides. Stay away from DHT derivatives because they crash shbg

I’ve tried eod shots IM. On 150mg cypionate every week. Low dht. Erections and libido sucked lol

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

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.
