Supplementing after/during TRT

Hi,

Has anyone tried supplements during/after TRT?

Long story short, I had had a good reaction to aphrodisiac supplements years ago (muira, tongkat ali, mucuna...etc). But since I began TRT, the herbs do not work as well ( I have had an off TRT period as well, and the found the herbs to be ineffective).
 
Hi Goga, i just passed by this forum because i was looking for an explanation also on how supplement would stop working since im on TRT. nothing, i used to have much success with Ginseng, Maca, Arginine etc...
 
good point. coincides with my observation. It could mean the following: if ones T is moderately low,he should start with herbs and possibly viagra. Because, those herbs are super-potent before TRT.
 
and, if I may...my conclusion...TRT comes with an opportunity cost (as we call it in Economics) - i.e. quite potent herbs become ineffective...

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.
