[Scottmcty]

Wow

I thought I went mad with my vits , mins and supps


I take quite a bit

But not as much as yourself

I might try a few extra of your list


I take

Multi vit
Vit d 3 5000
Cod liver oil 1000
Vit b6 50 mg
Vit e 400 ui
Kelp 500 mg
Nac 600 mg

I’ve got zinc pico 50
And bottle of calcium d
As well as boron

Not sure to bring these back in ?

Heard u have to run boron for 2 weeks then stop for week and repeat as can raise estrogen


So how is your mood and sex drive and erections on your protocol?

 

[Scottmcty]

I see your calcium d is very high dose 3000 mg
Heard the dosage is 500 mg to 1000 in men

When do u take your supps

Take it u take at different times

As zinc is best 30 mins before bed
With mag

I don’t like DIM but I’ve admittedly never gave it much of a chance on TRT. If you boys start loving it I’ll consider it. I’ve read things on it being anti thyroid, but since I’m on thyroid meds I don’t know if that’d really matter to me.

One thing I have noticed is that guys that say they like DIM usually don’t like HCG. I’m a guy that likes HCG.

 

[Dicky]

I would never touch AIs or HCG. I experienced low estrogen, never again.
I take lots of supplements
Vitamin d3 - 13,000 IU a day
Vit k2 - 200 mcg
Astathaxin - 12 mg
Magnesium - 800 mg a day
Dim - 400 mg
CDG - 3000 mg
Omegas - 4000 mg
Melatonin - 50 mg
NAC - 1-2000 mg
Vitamin C - 1000 mg
Multivitamin
Mucuna Pruriens cycled
L-tyrosine cycled
5-htp cycled
Zinc - 45 mg
Boron 6-12 mg

Blood work perfect, and I look younger than I did 10 years ago.
Test 1200 ish
E2 55-75 but we don’t even test for it anymore. Not important.

What purpose is the 50mg melatonin serving you?

What purpose is the 50mg melatonin serving you?

For anti aging, and a ton of other benefits. And it works. The NAC-Melatonin-Vitamin C combo is the best thing to take on an empty stomach before bed. (Melatonin is not for sleep in my case as it does nothing to make me fall asleep)

 

[Anonymon]

Just be careful if you’re low cortisol as more melatonin just makes it worse. I used to take 20-40mg a night and feel better at 0.25mg. I’ve heard good things about the anti aging part of it though.

Have I had blood work with out all these supplements?

Was there a difference at all in how u felt and on blood work ?

I bought nutricost dim 300 mg plus black pepper extract 5 mg. I'll start them tonight and see what results I get. I believe it takes at least a month before you feel anything?

Mtor signaling. High protein diets shorten life span. DIM has a role in neutralizing protein effect on mtor. There’s a few studies online to google. They explain it better.

The issue is not high-protein, it is chronically elevated mTOR which is likely due to chronically elevated insulin. mTOR is supposed to pulse and alternate with AMPK. If DIM suppressed mTOR continuously that would be really bad and a reason to not use it.

Hi Vince

I’ve got these now to see if help as has dim and loads more ingredients as well

 

[Vince]

Although research on DIM is still quite limited, it's thought to help balance estrogen levels in your body. Specifically, DIM may stimulate the production of a less potent, more beneficial form of estrogen known as 2-hydroxyestrone

I've tried DIM multiple times over the last several years. Each time I used it, it started to have negative effects within a short period of time. It didn't help libido, and it definitely hurt erectile function.

Maybe it crashed your estrogen levels?

And your levels were fine before going on it ?

What dose was u running as well ?

 

[Vince]

So I've used dim 3 days now. Two things I've noticed, my first pee of the morning is very yellow, second which could be placebo increase in my already strong libido.

I agree, I'm only adding one thing. nutricost dim 300 mg plus black pepper extract 5 mg. I'm just taking it before bed. The only reason I'm taking it before bed. It's simple to do and I won't forget.

Nothing new to report. My libido is strong. I have nothing negative to report.

Now that I've added it to my daily supplement routine.. I actually sometimes forget that I taking it.

 

[Scottmcty]

I ve stopped don’t think dim is for me

Given bad headaches and kinds a wired feeling


Maybe it take time for the body to adjust

Or it’s making my estrogen to low

I'm sorry to hear that. Especially that it's your thread.

There was one thing I forget to add. My pee is not as yellow as it was when I first started using dim.
