Testosterone

Does that Shilajit stuff work? I see all kinds of adds for it and very curious. Need some sort of a boost, but not going to go the full TRT route.
I've been cycling on and off for about a year and a half with it, and it works very well for me. I get blood tests regularly and my testosterone levels are consistently on the higher end when I'm on it. Quality matters, because some cheaper products can have a lot of toxic metals. Do your research, but yes it is effective.
 
I was around a 550 and he said I should ideally be 1000-1200. I did the pellets, started with 1200mg and going to check levels in a few weeks

I believe you are in your early/mid 30's if not mistaken. 300 to 1000 is considered normal range, which IMO is a pretty wide range and being on the upper end a man would definitely feel better. As men age, our test drops of course, the idea is to stay in the upper natural range. I am guessing you can see your bloodwork levels online, if so, they should have total test and free test levels in the bloodwork. Free test is what our bodies can use, so that is the true important number. If you have a high amount of your testosterone bound up and not free, bound test is not doing you any good..

What your before pellets and after pellets total test and free test numbers end up being is the key.

550 isn't to low, but being in that 1000-1200 range is where I feel best.

I think I saw this posted already, but the free test number is as important, if not more, than total test.

Free testosterone is what the body can use.

Total test includes free and bound. Bound is attached to a protein that can't be used by the body, it also prevents it from being removed from the body. Basically it's a storage system for testosterone.

You can have low free testosterone and high total testosterone, which would lead to the symptoms of low t, but not show up on blood work if you're not watching free test as well.

I'd have to look but I believe around 300-350pg/ml free test is the number my doctor and I like to be at.

Yep. Free test is really what matters.

3,4 - Divanillyltetrahydrofuran, also known as Divanil, is great at freeing up bound testosterone. Doesn't matter if it is natural Test or not, it will increase free Test percentage of total Test. Stinging Nettle has Divanil naturally in it, but I'd go for the actual Divanil extract vs just stinging nettle herb. Extract much more potent.​

 
How do you take this? Get the flavored stuff? Or mix the unflavord with something?
Done both. Everything I'm trying takes a few days. Not as fast as the shot of course. Works though, and at 43 I didn't think I would be taking small doses of creatine.
There is also tablets.
 
$225/mo. Which includes all monthly supplies drop shipped to the house and I'm on every other month blood work.
I've been lucky, found a retired pro bodybuilder who is a Dr, bloodwork every 6 months, test only 100 bucks every 3 months
