    Warning about frequent blood donations used to decrease hematocrit.

    Nelson, thank you for your detailed reply. However, I agree with Sammy that it was unfair to include processed meats with all their chemicals and fillers with other meat in the main study. I try to avoid TMAOs by cooking sous vide style at 135 degrees F in the absence of oxygen.

    Warning about frequent blood donations used to decrease hematocrit.

    Nelson, have you seen any studies for the effects of red meat on ferritin? People on the carnivore diet can eat several pounds of beef each day.

    Testosterone LOWER after 6 Weeks of treatment

    Someone may have already referenced the following study that showed 25 mg per week of testosterone had negative results, 50 mg had little to no effect, and only at 125 mg were the gains positive. Since everone is different, perhaps increasing your dose may be the answer.

    Is Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) Outdated?

    It was just the coaches, doctors, and players. The worst part was the hernia check. I don't know why teenage boys need their prostates checked. It was in September 1969.

    Professional Athletes on TRT?

    The UFC allowed TRT for a while but quickly saw the unfair advantage of testosterone. The change that TRT had on Vitor Belfort's body was amazing.

    MWF pinning but feel unstable Sunday/Monday

    My wife has donated 18 gallons of blood. She is 73 years old, plays tennis four times a week, and is one of the healthiest people I know. I have donated almost 10 gallons. Donating blood generally improves the health of men and postmenopausal women, and helps people that need blood or blood...

    MWF pinning but feel unstable Sunday/Monday

    No offence taken. The purpose of this forum is to help people who are just starting out and I wanted to let the person that started this thread know that daily injections can be a good alternative. My testosterone dosage is above average but not high for a nonresponder and nowhere near the...

    Couple of Questions about TRT

    When I started TRT my doctor told me to consume an extra 500 calories per day. After one year I gained 16 pounds muscle and lost 4 pounds fat. My body fat went from 20% to 16%. Unless you are overweight, you should probably maintain a caloric surplus when doing resistance training.

    The compounding pharmacy compounds testosterone cypionate in MCT oil. The "TRT Veteran" had adverse reactions to testosterone in seed oils but had no reaction when MCT oil was used as the carrier for testosterone.

    Lower E2 = Higher Memory Recall?

    Seems like there should be an optimal estrogen level for the best memory recall but the article did not give estrogen concentrations. What am I missing?

    Question TRT

    I would get off the black market testosterone immediately for safety reasons. At your age you should have no problem finding a local doctor to give you a prescription. Testosterone cypionate from CVS costs me $42 for 10 mL with 200 mg/mL. I am 68 years old.
