In ******** groups. TRT Community and Nelson's TRT FB group, Testosterone Replacement Therapy Discussion. Guys at 56 all the time, guys at 60 a few a month freaking out.

Wow that's fucked up. I am on ChatGPT 4.o and typed: "read this Fixing High Hemoglobin or Hematocrit and Low Ferritin While on TRT then I want to ask questions" "Tell me what causes low ferritin while on TRT and how to fix it." It gave completely wrong information, as it did to you. I then...

Remember that you need to train your AI model first. AI has NO IDEA that we cannot build ferritin on TRT, never mind why. It's why AI says dumb shit like take vitamin C. Consume heme iron (JFC NO THAT WILL NOT HELP, CLAUDE!!!!!). Everything it tells you to do will drive hemoglobin higher...

The signal to noise ratio pollutes the whole discussion. I see SO MANY people comparing TRT to living at elevation. Except people at elevation STOP going up, because the mechanism of their erythrocytosis if activation of HIF1 and HIF2 which increase EPO but in TRT, Testosterone has a direct...

IP6 and curcumin both chelate iron, so those will lower ferritin. I wonder if he had inflammation "fighting" his lowering. Lactoferrin will transport iron anywhere in parallel with transferrin, so that is neither here nor there. It's just more carrying capacity. Zinc isn't involved in the...

If you can build ferritin past 30, you can do my protocol generally. What concerns me is that you have a saturation of 94%. That's fasting I presume. I gotta ask. C282Y is a disorder of the pathway we use to build the ferritin, the BMP/SMAD pathway (there are two pathways, IL-6 and BMP/SMAD)...

To ALL of you -- what do you mean when you say units of Trimix? Alprostadil (mcg/mL) - 10 to 30 Papaverine (mg/mL) - usually always 30 Phentolamine (mg/mL) - 1 or 2

Remember that using heme iron is the absolute worst way to raise ferritin on TRT. When you ran the Ferritin Protocol, how did you fare?

Both the Olympia Pharma product and the Belmar Product are premixed by those respective and separate pharmacies.

Compounded. I had a weaker bimix (pap 15 / phe .5 also compounded from Belmar pharmacy) before this one that also did not work but I had been using an 8mm syringe.

Hi gents, I have been injecting bimix (pap 30, phe 3) with a 1/2in (13mm) 29g needle and no amount has ever worked. In a consult with a uro I discovered the issue is because I am not reaching the cavernous tissue. My penile circumference is 6.5 in around is apparently the issue. I started with...

Red meat would not help with ferritin levels IN A PERSON ON TRT. Let's step through this using the basics. Exogenous Testosterone --> erythropoietin increases 24/7 and does not cycle --> erythroferrone increases --> hepcidin decreases --> nothing binds to ferroportin --> ferritin cannot build...

Our objective is merely to "trick" or trigger the body's natural iron overdose mechanism into releasing a massive amount of hepcidin for 7 days. In order to accomplish this, we overwhelm the intestines with iron. Unfortunately, we need it all to sit there, triggering hepcidin release, not...

The worst case I have seen is someone dropping their ferritin within 2 weeks. The best was a few months. Almost nobody does second follow up testing after their protocol run. They usually do a ferritin test a few days afterward and then let it ride. I want to say when I did it a few times when I...

Remember that because heme iron transport largely bypasses hepcidin, it will not be put into ferritin readily. Even women on no hormones who take heme iron end up with hemoglobins of 15 or 16 while ferritin languishes.
