    Dosage for women's testosterone ?

    I thought the study said long-term DHEA therapy in postmenopausal women. Maybe I misread.

    Natural: why is my test so high?

    One of my buddies who's in his '60s had his testosterone check because he was tired. He's type 2 diabetic, on blood pressure meds and he's total T is just over a thousand. Not bad for an old man. He did not have his free T checked.

    Dosage for women's testosterone ?

    Actually in the study. Did not look good for improved libido. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9113789/#:~:text=These%20observations%20are%20important%20to,also%20need%20to%20be%20considered.

    Dosage for women's testosterone ?

    If I remember right. Dhea increases testosterone in women and estrogen in men. In post menopause women, it also raises estrogen.

    Lowering trt dose/ increasing frequency of injections question

    That's probably one of the reasons

    Different oils for Testosterone Proprionate

    Check sesame seed oil. I believe big pharma does use that one.

    Is Testesterone Cypionate available from big pharms

    I have zero issues with grapeseed oil. I do not believe it's the best though. I believe big pharma also uses a sesame seed oil which might be better.

    My Father is 70 years old and we just got his labs done. I'd like your advice

    Personally, I don't believe he needs TRT. He does need to control his diet. If he could go on a low-carb diet it would definitely help his diabetes. It would be scary to have that high of a A1C.

    Lowering trt dose/ increasing frequency of injections question

    I find it really interesting that members lower their dose to lower their free testosterone and they still have to donate blood.

    Keto diet could be the secret to living longer, according to new research

    I really found it interesting that the keto diet also acts as a pain reliever.

    Dosage for women's testosterone ?

    5 mg T cypionate per week, or 2.5 mg twice-weekly for more stable levels.

    Lowering trt dose/ increasing frequency of injections question

    I also switched to daily injections to lower my HCT. After 2 years of donating every 8 weeks my HCT completely stabilized and I no longer have to donate blood. Today is my 11 year anniversary of TRT and haven't donated for 9 years now.

    Test cyp 6 months - still can't dial in

    Brain fog was my only issue before starting trt. For me to feel good I need levels of free Testosterone. I know that goes against what most member say, but that's what I need.

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.
