Subject:

Comments:
: : : Dr. L : : : In your prior posts you mentioned the term 'testicular insufficient'. : : : By that , do you mean low free : : : testosterone and/or low total testosterone (~300-400ng/dl)? : : =Low total testosterone <600 for a <30 : : If you have normal total testo but low free it's another problem : : generally it appears for obese male : : Low-mild total testo and high free testo is seen in obese female : : : Why not make use of Testolactone(Teslac) instead of proviron? Cost? : : Teslac is not a AS ,it prevents the conversion of testo in female hormone : : Provirion is an androgen which doesn't aromatize in female hormone : : It's slighty different, you can use proviron alone but you need to use teslac with a testosterone-like : : otherwise it's useless : : : Would adding Deca (~200 - 400 mg/week for 6-8wks) : : : to the Proviron/Oxandrolone stack defeat the purpose? : : you can not help you to stack up AS ! The more you stack the more : : you are likely to get acute side effects. Stop to always think in term of cycle : : i have already explained than longer, fewer is better and safer : : 50-150mg/ week of deca is sufficient, you can use Proviron/Oxandrolone : : or proviron/deca which is more potent but less safe. : : : : : Would this make hypogonadism worse? : : of course : : : terms of nitrogen retention : : with deca it would be improved BUT side effects too : : and finally you might be compelled to stop this "cycle with deca" earlier than "without deca" : : Do you want to improve slightly your nitrogen retention during 2 months or 4? : : recovery aid and possibly helping with joint pains associated with lifting. : : I can't say, i'm not enough skilled in BB, generally joint pain get worse with/after AS : : : : : : Thank you very much for answers and contributions. : Thanks for the info. Dr. L. So as a matter of review, : Let's say a 31 yo male has the following : hormonal profile: : total testo of ~350 ng.dl, : free testo of 17 pg/ml (normal should be 18-39,I : think). : %free testo .47 : LH ~5.3-8.4 MIU/ML : FSH ~3.2 MIU/ML : estrogen 67 PG/ML : Body Type: Mostly Endo : BF: 12-13% : Wt.: 198 lbs : Ht: 5'7" : no gyno, susciptible(sic) to hair loss, : testes size: normal : This male follows an excellent diet and intense : exercise 4 times a week. : Then if one follows your advise correctly then : he should the following: : a) it appears that this person is a type 1 based : on your previous postings. Therefore: : b) start at 10 mg of Provirion a day for 1st week and try : to reach 25mg by the end of the month. Take : a blood test and make sure LH is above 0.5. : So the questions are (please forgive me for repeating : what you might have already covered): : 1) Should one stay at 25mg of Proviron for life : or increase to 40 mg a day (for life)? Or : should one take Provirion until testo elevates : to ~600 and then stop? : 2) We have discussed oxandrolone and you have : stated that 40mg for 45 days is safe and effective. : Is there a time in the Provirion administration : period that one should start oxandrolone or at : any time of therapy (i.e should one wait a few weeks : after start of Proviron therapy or at the start)? : 3) There has been some who say that oxandrolone : has caused them indegestion problems. In your : experience how should one administer this drug? : In small divided doses? Before, with or after meals? : Thanks again for your help
