    NAD+

    That's something I need to look into a bit more, but from what I've read (the book The Field touches on this IIRC) there is some very esoteric mechanism that goes beyond dose, but yes I might respond well.. One of many things I'm not as familiar with as I'd like to be.

    NAD+

    I use 4mg lozenges and cut them into quarters. For me they irritate my throat and briefly give me smoker's cough but it's manageable for now. There may be better way but this one let's me easily control the dose. According to DA, it may be absorbed a bit more quickly than ideal the way I'm doing...

    How long does testosterone drop after stopping

    There are plotters you can search for that will in theory tell when the cypionate is out of your system (3-4 weeks probably) but it may take longer for your actual blood levels to drop. If you are concerned about testing high I would test yourself through DiscountedLabs.com and then get your...

    NAD+

    I remember some people in this thread pondering nicotine for a mental energy boost. Dave Asprey recently did two podcasts which take a deep dive on the topic (summary: stay under 5mg per day) and I have recently been using 1mg 3-4 days per week with what seem to be good results so far, although...

    PT 141 diminishing effect on erections?

    Dosing no more than twice per week, my vials can last 4-6 months with little or no degradation in effect. That sound like a scam to promote reorders. Also, Pt-141 (and MT2) seem to be quite reliable across well-known providers IME.

    New Research Reveals Erectile Dysfunction Linked More to Blood Sugar Than Testosterone

    This makes sense. A1C is apparently the best predictor of CVD and CRP is not far behind.

    NAD+

    I injected around 10mg twice a week at the same time as my HCG. That may not have been enough but I react well to low doses of things. My energy is pretty good on my protocol, but it's impossible to say how big the affect is. It's cheap and it can't hurt as far as I know, but it's not like I...

    NAD+

    I did not feel anything but hopefully you will. I have been using low dose (50mg) niacinamide (NAD precursor) and apigenin (to block the breakdown of NAD) instead.

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    It probably depends on the drug. For someone already on a base of TRT, adding in a low dose of a compound that has a "feel good" affect for some people (e.g. masteron or Dbol) is likely far safer (based on ability to come off and lack of side effects) than most psych meds other than low-risk...

    Extreme Fatigue With a Few Clues in Blood Work. What am I Missing?

    Something you might look into is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) which sounds like it has some overlapping symptoms with what you're dealing with. I just listened to the the recent Dave Asprey podcast on the topic with Dr. Tania Dempsey, so perhaps there are some clues there for you. There...

    Mitochondrial Health: A key to Aging & Recovering Well- Urolithin A Supplement

    Yes, we need a crowd-funded private version of Janoshik's operation here in the US.

    Mitochondrial Health: A key to Aging & Recovering Well- Urolithin A Supplement

    Thanks. I'm going to order some. That is a much more reasonable price. This topic is a good example of the egregious hucksterism that has permeated the world of "health influencers" where they are given product and paid to promote things without consideration of the cost effectiveness.

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    I believe at one time it was approved for human use in France for TRT-like affects, and there was Doc in the US that recommended it for a while IIRC.. As with everything, it depends on what one is trying to accomplish, dose and duration, ester, and personal tolerance. It does not aromatize and...

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    ********** is one of very few compounds that seems to specifically remove visceral fat. There would need to be data on what dose/duration starts to present kidney risk before using it long-term in humans however the doses used in the physique community are likely wildly excessive for the purpose...

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.
