Experts on background and overview · 6 cited mentions
"Bullet Titan Biohacker and Ben Greenfield, they recommended starting a little bit lower... start low and then keep track of potential side effects like glucocorticoid receptor inhibition and then lowering cortisol levels and aromatase enzyme inhibition."
"Any updates on the DHT annotate? So I took it for one week and then I had to stop because what's the point of taking DHT when I'm not going to the gym and lifting hardcore. So I took 350 milligrams over the week. By Friday I looked pretty good."
"For TRT plus plus plus, what would be better and more sustainable, test and primo or mastrone or test and DHT? Yes, I don't have any experience with DHT yet. I did my blood work last Monday. I will start the DHT experiment uh next week Monday"

"That's why when you take exogenous DHT, which is what I'm doing now, in the long term you might have a compounding effect of testosterone converting into DHT because your 5-alpha-reductase enzymes are upregulated"
"Does Masteron really do anything that injectable DHT doesn't do? We don't know, but probably not."
"As soon as the DHT was hitting my system, it's like - I want to train, goddamn it."
