Ya it’s all a matter of preference. And I know exactly what you’re saying about the bioidentical stuff. Was just having a convo about this last night with a guy. We were trying to figure out if nandrolone was bioidentical, due to the body producing small amounts of 19-nortestosterone. I’m still not sure if it is or not. I think it might not be, but it’s close enough to where I feel comfortable using it. But what about thyroid replacement. There’s plenty of guys using synthetic T4 and synthetic T3, with good results. And nobody worries about whether it’s bioidentical or not. But then again, I’ve heard a guy say that even tho T4 and T3 are made in a lab, they still use the bioidentical molecules. So I’m still a little confused on what’s bioidentical and what’s not lol. Very curious, and very eager to figure it all out though.
But my personal stance is that we have some pretty awesome compounds at our disposal, that I feel are pretty safe, when used properly, if not actually health/ longevity promoting. If I were you, and were interested in adding another compound to your HRT, I would obviously just add one compound at a time. You’re always going to get varying opinions on whether it’s “right” to use anything but testosterone or not, but you just have to figure out what’s best for you, not what’s best for everyone else. I mean, everyone’s fine with adding in ai’s and HCG. Not sure about HCG, but obviously ai’s aren’t bioidentical. Neither is clomid. But these are just things that people are used to seeing, and were around when they learned about HRT. Eventually other compounds are going to be just as commonplace as HCG, ai’s, Clomid, etc. You just have to be patient, and not let other people get to you in the meantime. Just do your research, and try to make the best decisions you can in regards to your specific situation/ goals.
