PCT supplement advice and suggestions

So I have been self dosing testosterone-e since June of this year. Average 80-100mg weekly subQ injections. I’m ready to stop as I feel the negative effects are beginning to outweigh the positives. I’m 53, fit, muscular, active. Try to eat healthy. I initiated trt after experiencing the usual low t symptoms. Decreased libido, low sense of well being, some brain fog, workouts not feeling as effective etc. My doc did some bloodwork and my test levels were in the lower end of the normal range. So not enough to initiate treatment. So I started my self. It was fine while it lasted but I’m ready to stop and I don’t really want to start pumping more chemicals into me to get me through. Are there any proven supplements that will help kickstart my natural production? I haven’t noticed much or any testicular atrophy so the boys are still there lol. There are so many bogus products on the market so I’m just wondering how I sift through the garbage and find some effective products if in fact there even are any. Thanks in advance.

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.
