"We concluded that the benefits of restoring serum T in men with late onset hypogonadism ( LOH ) were not different between men >65 years of age, and younger men. Beneficial effects on lipids and other metabolic factors, on psychological and sexual functioning progressed over the first 24-42 months and were sustained. There were no indications that side effects were more severe in elderly men. The effects on prostate, urinary functions and hematocrit were within safe margins. No increase in cardiovascular problems was noted. Therefore, age in itself need not be a contraindication to T treatment of elderly men with LOH, but older men may need more surveillance."

Wow! 89? I have less than 1/4 of your age. Cool to see we can live so much better and longer using T. Could you say what's your dosage and how is going?
 
89 is the goal. Congrats on moving the aging goalposts. I am 67 in m
March and on TRT four and a half years. Still battling orthopedic problems, but at least I still look decent. Sex drive comparable to in my 30s and sex three times per week. I do some kind of workout every day. I think older men do even better than younger guys on TRT.

Also very curious about Bremster’s dosing regimen, supplementation etc.

I inject 1 ml 200mg/ml cyp once per week, my testosterone is bit high about 1200. My estradiol was about 65. So I got the bright idea to reduce it, Doc went along and prescribed anastrazole, 1 mg daily,way too much, crashed my estradiol. I haven’t had much of bad effec, except my blood pressure is too high, I will never try that again. For the record sex is grea, I can’t believe it, I also do consulting work in my career field, good genes, diet and exercise and good luck, I’m truly blesse.

89 years! Congratulations. The incredible thing is that your dose of 200 Mg in just one weekly application. Could you tell us how long you are on this protocol?

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.
