Nelson, why would cortisol rise when all one is doing is replacing what has been lost over time? Assuming a person is still in HRT range.

What supplements can help counteract this problem? I taek Mag Glycinate now but oculd do with something else. I fell a bit anxious during the day.

Thanks

Great question!

Most of us are injecting twice or once per week a dose ranging from 50 to 200 mg per injection. The male body (when healthy) produces 5 to 7 mg of testosterone daily. The peaks we expose our bodies even with smaller dose injections is much higher than what the body would see naturally in the morning. I think that affects the enzyme mentioned here

Would daily T creams or gels show less of an effect on cortisol? I do not know.

Thanks Nelson. I take around 25mg EOD. I do this to try limiting the conversion of T to E2. If this is the case (the peaks potentially causing this spike), what protocol would you suggest to limit this rise in cortisol?

Also, is there a supplement you would recommend to try counteracting this problem?

Do other people have a problem with cortisol on TRT?
