[QUOTE="Mafyz, post: 80115, member: 16439"] Hi guys, I will try to keep it short and clear. My goal: to increase DHT to top of the range or above range while not being on T. Rationale behind is I've noticed people having more DHT (shown in bloodwork in my entourage) overall have masculine behaviors and appearances above average. My situation: DHT @46ng/dl (16-79) TT @683ng/dl (160-726) Free T @[B]3,6ng/dl[/B] (0,3-2,8) I'm on very low dose clomid to boost "naturally" my testosterone production as I'm 29 and don't feel like I quite need TRT yet. My conclusion: I must be having poor levels of 5-alpha reductase enzymes as my free T is well above range and my DHT is barely mid-range. My reaction: i started taking natural 5-alpha reductase boosters - glycine - niacinamide - protodioscin concentrated tribulus extract - butea superba I will draw bloods again 1 months into this experiment to see whether it has made any difference in my DHT levels. [B]Two questions[/B]: 1) Do blood DHT levels represent accurately the actual level of circulating and active DHT? I've read that urine tests for other enzymes are usually necessary for an accurate measure 2) If that "treatment" fails to yield significant increase in DHT levels, my intention is to start taking Proviron 25mg x2/day + Andractim cream (pure DHT) 2x/day while keeping the Clomid twice a week @12,5mg to prevent HPTA shutdown. My fears with that are: a) to get shutdown inspite of the Clomid b) to have my E2 get too low with the Proviron Do you think there is any risk for scenarii a) and b) to become reality? [B]Subsidiary question[/B]: will more DHT at my age make any difference to my looks and behaviors or is it all determined by DHT exposure in the womb and during puberty? PS: I'm very glad to be finally joining this forum. Been lurking for a long time and the amount of knowledge shared on here is priceless. [/QUOTE]
