    sermorelin and ipamorelin used together

    Hi Nelson. Do you have any links that I can look at on this? From what I have seen in the internet the recommendation is a GHRP with a GHRH.

    sermorelin and ipamorelin used together

    Thank you. I am just curious, if you could share, what is the rationale that they gave you for such a high dosage of sermorelin? Are you sure it is 1000 mcgs? That stack based on Defy's prices is more than $400 per month. Is that correct? The reason I ask you is that I want to switch to that...

    hi. Any update on this combo?

    sermorelin and ipamorelin used together

    Hello. I just posted a similar question to yours? I want to switch to that combo. Is this from Defy? Are you planning in having two injections or putting the two dosages in one and injecting? That seems like a high dosage but I am just getting familiar with this combo so don't take my word for...

    Sermorelin/Ipamorelin combo

    Is anybody in this forum taking this combo? I have been taking the GHRP-2/Sermorelin combo from Defy for about six months with pretty good results. IGF-1 increased from 100 to 200 and has remained as such. I have lowered my body fat to 15% from 25% and increased lean muscle significantly (dexa...

    Spreadsheet for Calculating Free T & E2

    So I guess the conclusion is that is better to test if one wants to know the free E. I will do the free E2 test next week from labcorp and post the results here.

    Should Men on Testosterone Test Their Free Estradiol ?

    Dr. Crisler thank you for responding. So if I am taking 500 IUs twice a week, should I then divide 1000IUs in 7 days and take daily or should I adjust the dosage lower based on daily injections? Thank you in advance for the guidance. I should have asked you this when we had our advisory call.

    Should Men on Testosterone Test Their Free Estradiol ?

    hi Gman86. Why do you have such fluctuations on your E2 levels? Is this based on different AI dosages? On what of all these ranges did you feel best?

    Should Men on Testosterone Test Their Free Estradiol ?

    Hi. Just curious on why you inject HCG daily ? I am also under Dr. Crisler's care and he has me on 500 IUs twice a week. What is the rationale to switch to a daily injection?

    Should Men on Testosterone Test Their Free Estradiol ?

    wow. I might be one of "those guys" who have not learned just yet. I have SHBG of 53 and E2 (sensitive) of 39. I take 0.125mg anastrozole twice a week. I almost increased my AI dosage to 0.250 mg thinking that my AI was a bit high. I am glad I did not. I will go ahead and test my free E2. I...

    Spreadsheet for Calculating Free T & E2

    My head is spinning with all this. I am all for testing free estradiol instead of calculating it and I will test it next time, but what is the "good range" that free estradiol should be at then?

    TRT without the use of Aromatase Inhibitors

    Did you increase your T dosage frequency? I have similar parameters than you. Except for E2 which is now at 39 (sensitive). I felt best when it was in the 25 to 30 range. My E2 increased after I reduced my AI from 0.5 to 0.125 ( after switching from a local clinic to Defy). I want to lower my...

    TRT without the use of Aromatase Inhibitors

    Dr Crisler, do you recommend more frequent injections regardless of the SHBG? In my case I am injecting Dr Crisler if I understand correctly you recommend increasing dosing frequency as a way to control elevated estrogen symptoms. Would this apply for guys with high SHBG too? My SHBG is 53 and...

    Metformin and SHBG

    I am pretty sure balancing B12 would be the easiest thus the least of my concerns. A supplement or subcu injections would balance B12 easely. The challenge is the unkown impact on hormones I believe.

    Metformin and SHBG

    Yes, thank you. I plan to check my B12 levels often and supplement accordingly. However my main concern is the impact on sex drive. I have seen conflicting information on this. It seems that it does lower testosterone. By how much, I really don't know. I don't want to screw up markers now that I...

    Metformin and SHBG

    Thanks Vince. I plan to start with 250mg a day and see what happens. So in your case you did not see an increase on your SHBG, drop on your free T? Any impact on your sex drive ( I read somewhere in the internet about that too)? Thanks again.

    Metformin and SHBG

    humm. Ok. Thanks Vince. I assume that it does not increase SHBG in my case but the only way to be sure is to try it I guess.

    Metformin and SHBG

    I have been doing some reading on Metformin and also in Jay Campell's book where he supports the use of metformin for anti aging purposes. I also watched the Nelson's video with Jay. There is a thread in this forum that also that talks about metformin and its relationship with SHBG and...

    The more I learn the more confused I am - DHEA and Estradiol

    We are talking about spliting a troche in more or lesss equal parts. It will not be 100% accurate.

    The more I learn the more confused I am - DHEA and Estradiol

    Hey. I just ordered the troches last week from Hallandale. I will let you know as soon as I get them. I might want to start that low too if I can split them that small.

    The more I learn the more confused I am - DHEA and Estradiol

    Sorry, Defy does not offer a 5 mg troche. They offer 25 mgs and I plan to split it in four so I guess is a 6.25 mgs. That is what I will use to start.

    The more I learn the more confused I am - DHEA and Estradiol

    I am going to start with 5 mg troche from Defy and see what happens. Not sure why this doc is recommending 25mg twice a day. Doesn’t seem like a responsible thing to recommend.

    The more I learn the more confused I am - DHEA and Estradiol

    I saw the video by the way. Very informative and pretty well supported. Thank you. It says that DHEA converts to estrogen and that one should take max 15mg a day divided in doses. Interesting how many different POVs there are on this one subject. wow.

    The more I learn the more confused I am - DHEA and Estradiol

    That is what I will do. Start with 5 mg once a day instead of going to 25 mg twice a day as this doc suggests. One thing I have learned is that even expert T doctors are still learning about this stuff.
