Low testosterone and boosting it.

[hellguy]

Ok. I am gonna ask. Hopefully this is the right place. My testosterone was checked a few years ago and was under three hundred. I am sure I am lower now since I've had some changes that the docs feel could be related to a drop.

Here it is. I. 37 190 pounds and eat healthy. Plenty of carbs, proteins (vegetarian, don't grief) and good fats. I work out hard, and lift heavy. What test boosters have been tried, what are the results and recommended dosages etc? Input is appreciated if it is constructive.

I've used them in the past before going with real test. With low test you might get a bump up to mid ranges but unfortunately that isn't enough to make any significant difference IMO.

Bulbine natalensis is what I've used in the past. But like I said don't expect miracles.

 

[hellguy]

My doc is going to recheck me this week. If the insurance will cover it he will start me on injections. Of they don't, I'm gonna have to supplement it myself. I want to build more muscle as well as get my levels to the normal ranges. I think that supplements may end up being my only option.

why not just get on TRT?

if you're looking for a natural T booster: IronMagLabs Ultra Male Rx

Five years ago it was under 300. The bottom of the range for normal. That is why I am concerned.

Yes that value is not good.

What is your body composition? what is your Bf% Height?

Sex drive? Do you have a high stress job, kids, married?

All these are huge contributing factors.

How much protein and what sources do you get it form since you are vegetarian?

This^ Young people are concerned with adult problems...It's beyond me. You should just worry about eating LOTS of cals and lift OFTEN. Your metabolism is probably through the roof so stay in the gym. Don't worry about anything else right now

I'm curious what you score on this test -- ANDROstat testosterone test

Let me know how you score if you answer TRUTHFULLY?

I scored 471. That is high though. The last time I was checked was a few years ago. Back then I had a 298. I hope it hasn't dropped but probably has.

You should get bloods every year. Check them again and let us know. If you are not symptomatic I would not worry even if your blood test say's your out of range or low normal.

 

[hellguy]

Symptomatic? I have a few things I think are related. When I asked the doc he checked my previous and thinks that it may be a good possibility.

I will definitely let you know though. I am still interested in a test booster and how and when to take them.

I know what you mean bro. I am on trt now for over 3 years with the first two and half being wasted on a idiot dr. that had my levels going in a roller coster. I finally got one that has me on weekly inj 200mg and letro. He is trying to get me switched to Clomid but having to wait on insurance to approve. I can't get him or any other dr. around here to prescribe hcg, and it's hard to find else where.

Hrt plus add stinging nettles root extract, d-aSpartic acid, vitamin e, l-carnitine, and fadogia agrestris. these will help stimulate natural production, fight estrogen, and open receptors for test to be absorbed.

a gram a day keeps the docs at bay

That sounds like a lot to add to my supplement list but if it works then it'd be worth it.

dont jump into HRT or TRT just yet. try OTC supps to see if it helps then look into a more permanent solution.

Sustain Alpha TD + DAA + IGF 2 + Toco 8

i think this stack, especially at your age and test levels, would be AWESOME for you.

You are on HRT and still using natural boosters? Are you attempting to mimic the actions of an "HCG" like effect?

I would just low dose HCG infrequently to keep natural production somewhat "awake" while TRT'ing.

The other products are great for boosting levels without trt

-Matt

 

[R1balla]

for real, sustain alpha got my test high. libido was through the roof. that with DAA is just crazy

 

[hellguy]

Update. Test results showed me at 341. That's on the low end of "normal" but I'd honestly like it to be closer to the higher end.

You could try out a natural test booster from a nutrition store. Ironmaglabs has some solid products. depending on your age(over 40?) i would ask my doctor to help assist with the issue with either androgel or injectable testosterone. Chances are he will say no because doctors are hesitant to do this. Good luck!

 

[packers6211]

Yeah lot of otc ones to choose from. Ironmag def has some wicked ones. Also a lot of people like the DAA products. If you shop around Orbitnutrition has plenty and has sales going all the time.

 

[harmanrainu]

curios to try it

I'm a fan of the injections. My doctor will for it, insurance will not. Otc is going to be my option.

TRT is really not that expensive. Once you get a script, find a compounding pharmacy. When I was doing TRT and called around to the big name pharmacies the price of the test cyponate, 10ml/200mg per ml was almost $250. The compounding pharmacy charged $100. I was doing 100cc per injection once a week. The 10ml bottle lasted a good while.

If you really do have low T trust me this is the only way to go. Just make sure the rest of your health ducks are all in a row.

I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks. I am going back to the doc in a few weeks and I'll be able to discuss options and are where it leads me. I really do want to be careful and do this right.

If your test levels are genuinely low, get your doctor to give you legit test treatment. From my experience, natural test boosters have done nothing for me but burned a hole in my pocket.

daa then trt
