Thanks for this!


It's very useful for me because I finally am having my mild hypothyroidism treated. I've been on TRT (test + HCG) since the end of last June and that is going well, but I've felt like it was only addressing 3/4 of my fatigue and other symptoms.

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.
