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

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.
Just checking on this thread from 4 years ago. Anyone here have any updates? Have you used DHB alongside your TRT protocol? I've been using low dosed Deca for a long time now - thinking about trying DHB alongside the TRT instead of Deca. Let me know your experiences with this. Thanks in advance.

What’s ur complete protocol currently?
 
Do you have experience using dhb? Are you using it as an add-on to your trt?
Ya I tried it as an add on. Didn’t notice any benefits so I stopped taking it. I have lots of anecdotes saved from guys that really liked it tho. Pretty sure it can lower estrogen. So it can be a nice add on like primo. Giving some muscle and strength benefits, while also managing estrogen

Good to know. Thank you so much! I've been using my trt testosterone which is 160 mg a week. Been using DECA as an add-on for almost 10 years now. 300 Deca a week. Take them together in two injections a week. At 300 mg a week, Deca is great for my joints, keeps some nice muscle mass on. The only negative to it at all, it leaves me a little lethargic feeling, and with low sex drive. Other than that is great though!! Just was wondering if dhb can keep muscle mass on at 100 mg a week, and perhaps stimulate my well-being feeling, and stimulate sex drive.

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.
