    Minimum testosterone to get a growth advantage

    primo, I wouldn't use it. With HCT of 58% I would stop T for at least a week and just inject 10 mg daily until your HCT is good. You may want to find out if there's another reason why your HCT is so high. We do have lots of good threads on the subject.

    Minimum testosterone to get a growth advantage

    You didn't say what HCT is at. Anyways, I would reduce my testosterone to 100 mg a week, plus the HCG. It would probably be best to even lower it more. To lower my HCT I went to daily injections and now I inject 16 mg daily plus every third day I inject 500 IU of HCG. I haven't had to donate...

    Can I take 4 pills of 5mg tadalafil and expect the same effect as 20 mg tadalafil?

    I buy them from reliable RX. You don't need a script, price is good, you can buy as many as you want, plus it's pretty quick delivery.

    Can I take 4 pills of 5mg tadalafil and expect the same effect as 20 mg tadalafil?

    Yes you can take four tablets of 5 mg of Cialis and get the same results as taking 20 mg of Cialis. Personally, I think Viagra does a better job. I buy my ED meds from India.

    Ancedotes of feeling better when taking time off injections.. Science behind this?

    That would make sense because estrogen follows testosterone.

    Ancedotes of feeling better when taking time off injections.. Science behind this?

    When you stop injections, your testosterone and estrogen levels may drop at a different percent. The ratio between testosterone and estrogen might reach an optimal balance that makes you feel great, as neither hormone is excessively high or low.

    U-curve for men's belly fat and bone density

    anxiety can lead to bone loss in men This actually makes a lot of sense. Some men get anxiety from trt and when they are on a higher dose their anxiety goes up. Which of course would lead to bone loss. Not all men get anxiety from trt. Maybe that's why some men can use higher levels and some...

It was. For some reason my blood pressure is always lower at my doctor's office. I have the reverse...

    TWICE PER WEEK TESTOSTERONE INJECTIONS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH GREATER RISK OF HIGH HEMATOCRIT

    This discussion is interesting. Before I started daily injections I did have higher HCT but for some reason my blood pressure never increased. I do use high amounts of fish oil and wonder if that has anything with my blood pressure staying normal? I've also read but not thoroughly about how...

    Baking soda for firmer erections?

    It's not true. It may give someone a placebo effect for a while.

    Bi annual basic lab panel

    I agree about the melatonin. Start with a very low dose 1 mg or less. My brother uses 2 mg a night. Once he doubled it and it kept him up.

    High Testosterone Levels: Impact on the Heart

    I do like high levels of testosterone. Every year I get an echocardiogram. The only time I had thickening of my heart muscle was when I was using low dose nandrolone. After I stop using nandrolone and had my echocardiogram the following year my heart muscles returned to normal.

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.
