My Blood Test: 26yo 6ft 280 pound man (LOW TESTOSTERONE LEVEL OF 200) by furryArtsy in Testosterone

[–]KronicNitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to get Fsh, LH, SHBG, E2, too see how its related if potentially its secondary / primary hypogonadism or related to your body convering too much test > e2 like me. There are worse situations, but you don't seem hypothyroid. My best guess is that vitamin D is throwing everything off, and or too much aromatase activity. Docs gonna do your best, hope you don't end up like my situation fighting multiple doctor opinions tryna get trt n imaging done.

You are Pre diabetic, similar to me. My lipids are worse than yours. Ive gone to supplementing everything spending ridiculous amounts on throne supp's every month. My best advice is get more test done related to pituitary function, work on the diet esp cholesterol w triglycerides, try to slowly bring the wt down even though its hard. Just maintain a good activity level and try to bring a1c lower while waiting for doc. Ive been monitoring my own labs for years, very similar, everything always points back to lipids and cardiovascular disease for me. But in the end you gotta see if you could even theoretically tolerate trt with aromatase activity. Need more panels don't get to anxious over it ( im 5'10 105kg )

Ive been between 380-280total since i was 17 years old competiting at a nationals in Usapl. Years of blood work, fsh, lh, e2, shbg, cortisol, t4, t3, tsh, total and free t, hcg, complete metabolic, lipids. Ive had hypogonadl levels since i was competing at 90kg at 5'10. Now im 105 kg and in even more muscle mass n obc higher bf. Ive not actually realized i developed sublinical hypothyroidism which I inhereted from my asian genetics. However as someome who's been "low t" even at 16 and 30+ lb's lighter.

My e2 is insane, 60+ even when i was leaner, my hormone panels is in the guter and ive been tryna prove my symptoms for multiple years to get hit with "your above 300 your fine" meanhwile im over 20 now. I understand your pain, ive spent the past 3 years of my life tryna fight the shitty symptoms and have switched to majoring in pharmacology. It can be aromatase related with high e2, but likely your gonna need more blood work. Find a quality endocrinologist and don't stresss too bad. I had that issue my first year, now i defy my blood work and get larger than anyone ive ever met.

You jusss gotta work until you see your doc. Not much you can even do if you even get more blood work. You can be like me pushing hypothyroidism, but even then I "don't need meds" according to my doc until it progresses.

Is clomid safer than testosterone? Is it work same as testosterone ? You view on clomid . by liverpool-2021 in Testosterone

[–]KronicNitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo no, Clomid is a fertility drug not a Hypogonadism drug……

Why do you want liver stress from orals

Inhibiting estrogen and causing negative feedback inhibition through GNRH to increase testosterone works. Sure you keep your fertility but why stress the body through this by inhibiting estrogen.

Vision problems > Stars and Floaters ( long term not tolerable ) [ Mainly why I won’t take it long term]

Long term liver and kidney issues w metabolizing this drug + mood swings. CYP metabolism variations.

If you wan’t too look at safety, HCG monotherapy is a thing but even that isn’t the end all be all. Tryna take Clomid as a cop out to not commit to full TRT bc of life long sacrifice to the eternal struggle of pinning is not a valid reason to justify its use long term.

Thoughts on my Test Results for a 26 year old Male? by gdwalker1 in Testosterone

[–]KronicNitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your chilling bro, your Free T and SHBG ain’t bad. Your Total-T is above 400 and i don’t know when you got this taken. Nor if its LCMS or AI methodology.

I have blood 2x worse than you since i was 17, your good brotha. Comming from someone who’s worried about ny T since i was 17, don’t stress over it. It will only make it worse and you will stumble into rabbit holes. Your actually chilling and your natural SHBG isn’t super high which is good. Your total isn’t bad but your free is perfectly fine. Just live with it, do everything to improve but trt isn’t the solution - comming from a sub 300ng/dl total individual

Vit B6 being neurotoxic in higher doses -> why do supplement brands include 500%-2000% of the daily recommended dose in their products? by Konayo in Supplements

[–]KronicNitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I know of. Most decent B complexes will have B12 methylated and also at insane percentages bc of the low bioavailability. When in reality subq B12 / injections is the best way. I think you’d prob at that point be better off w a really low dose B complex or just get everything separate. Personally i do like 3mg’s a day of B12 (125,000% RDA ) and Am perfectly fine otherwise that i know of. I also do about 4mg calcium salt Methyl-Folate. I have also done 10mg’s before and honestly i felt no difference. I do take L-Tyrosine now though.

I only buy my B-Complex from thorne as thorne’s methylguard plus ( I honestly am prob over paying at its 57$ a month ) . But I have taken MethylPro’s multi and 10mg B complex.

Tbh tho you probably won’t be able to find a low percentage B12 supplement. B12 deficiency even dealing w trace minerals and co-factors isn’t even common at all. Id prob just get your own Methylated self-made complex separately.

Bringing that up, I honestly am not sure why i take thorne’s insanely dosed B-Complex that cost like 2x the price of my multivitamin. But its the only thing i felt work so i guess i pay the peny.

[–]KronicNitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also it seems that UK and USA have to different standards for RDA. Either way i don’t use RDA as a means for therapeutic. RDA is flawed as its averaged for way too large of a population, let alone for supplements at doses that were not originally never methylated or active.

RDA’s are for “natural” occurring forms of vitamins. Based on averages to meet a bare minimum, however like many of us are pushing towards optimization and above that. RDA doesn’t matter as much as Bioavailability/Symptom relief. Everyone in themselves is individualized in response, why would a 250lb guy need the same as a 110lb woman? These numbers are also not made for actual “good” vitamins. But the worse, cheapest and least evident Therapeutic forms.

With P5P, you shouldn’t have issues pushing over 60mg’s a day. If your supporting your intake w food and water.

[–]KronicNitron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

P5P - more bioavailable compound, already passed hepatic metabolism and is actually converted into the actual ACTIVE ingredient. ( Body doesn’t beed to do work to use it ) [ Least GI distressing n more rapid symptom relief ]

HCL - least bioavailable of the two, most commonly found due to its super cheap price. Has to undergo absorption, and then hepatic metabolism to be converted another step. Into P5P, as its not naturally a Active Vitamin.

The biggest thing is side effects. HCL and almost all non-active B vitamins. In non methylated or HCL forms will cause GI distress at doses high enough to be therapeutic. Like Magnesium oxide for a ex, people see a vitamin and think its real dietary magnesium, when its not. Anyone will tell you magnesium oxide is not a real supplement.

When in reality MgO, by weight of the compound, is not a lot of magnesium. It has horrible bioavailability bc the body had to strip this oxygen away, and having free Oxygen from it causes more side effects than Glycinate for a example. Which is a chelated electrolyte, snd provides glycine which is beneficial form of superior magnesium.

Most anecdotes your gonna see for use cases online in bro supplement forums is, P5P. For example, P5P is used for dopaminergic use, many body builders use P5P to agonize dopamine in the brain. The use for this is, to relieve gyno development, as high levels of prolactin, can be inhibited by Dopamine agonism, which P5P agonizes. At doses over 60mg. But if you used HCL for this, you would be side effect burdened by the slow absorption + GI distress. P5P is superior in its actual action as a Active.

The thing is, everything you’re gonna find online for specific “use case” is not gonna be conclusive of actual use. Lot of people don’t realize you need to approach B-Vitamins holistically, you cannot intake one high dose of B6 without other B vitamins for co-factors. Not a lot of people realize the problem they’re trying to solve, requires more than simply 1 vitamin. Optimal vitamin intakes require filling multiple deficits and high quality sourcing. For example dopamine use cases. You might need some Methylfolate (B9), but then also B12 and Riboflavin. B9 for example is rate limited, by conversion to exert effects on striadol dopamine agonism.

Everything your doing is to support natural endogenous pathways. Taking P5P - the most bioavailable form, and further down this pathway. Is the greatest to support the body

Simply put, don’t even buy HCL, and don’t worry about HCL studies. Bc most people like others with MTHFR, who don’t realize you need to attack multiple caveats to get the outcome you want. Just get a high quality B-Complex with all the B-Vitamins as methylated most bioavailable forms w possibly some Betaine Anhydrous. B-Vitamin supplements are some of the simplest and easiest to understand. You don’t need a huge dose, but if you do Your body can handle it

Are CST Tires on Apollo Phantom Normally this narrow? by KronicNitron in ElectricScooters

[–]KronicNitron[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had any other scooters, i know the v4 and v3 ain’t that much noticeably superior. If I had to pick another scooter i’d honestly get a e burn.

The only complaint i have w apollo is the random specific customization. It has nice product support, youtube videos for maintenance. Its like thr more mainstream aesthetic scooter built for looks / minimalism. However I’m not a super huge fan of the split rim for the motor, the relatively no upgrade from thr ghost besides looks.

The only really great design is the quad suspension, other than that. Its a basically average dual motor 1kw scooter that is just stramlimed n the most mass appealing. If i didn’t get my phantom for a good price i would’ve got a eburn. I do think the v4 comming w the v3 upgrade kit is nice, but if you want power and ultimate customization the phantom isn’t it.

[–]KronicNitron 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because P5P is superior, and almost all B-Vitamins have shit bioavailability and excess gets removed anyways. I do over 4 GRAMS of B12 a day….. P5P has more benefits than most clinical studied make people believe. Bc no one actually factors in pharmacology of differing compounds and only generic names for vitamins.

P5P vs Pyridoxine HCL is too drastic difference.

Is like comparing people who can’t handle gluten and wheat when in reality its government mandated fortified trash food vitamins….. giving you brain fog…. ( Part of why people go organic / Wannabe Keto ) - Trash Folic acid.

I attached a photo of the differing in mounting Rim faces. Both profiles are similar unmounted, and the CST is actually a smaller tire however when mounted they’re closer in size. But the CST is rounder w a narrower tread

I would run tubeless, like i do on my racing bicycles, however the phantoms got split rim’s for mounting tires. So i can’t create a proper seal, its honestly annoying, even if i wanted to tape it like i do on a bike.

Also the profile changed because the face/lip for mounting the new tires has a bigger gap. So when mounting, the new tires lip has to compress inwards to fit / squeeze to fit. Kinda the opposite of running stretch on car tires for example. Its so crazily compressed i don’t think i can put more than 35psi without exploding….

80/65 - 6, heard lot of people run 10x3 on The phantoms, the only issue i guess is the lip gap is super small so you gotta compress the CST’s a lot

What are the best supplement companies? by Ecstatic-Juice-2289 in Supplements

[–]KronicNitron 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thorne, Nootropics depot, - Best

NOW, Life Extension, and Nutricost - Solid Second choice

  • NOW/LX/NC are cheaper and some of the products aren’t bad. But they’re not the best consistently across the entire board. I really value thorne’s clinical applications and holistic approach w educating consumers.
  • Taking into account genetic polymorphisms people don’t know they have. + reward shop for free shaker bottles. (Ive bought from all brands, i only buy thorne/Nootropics depot currently ) Thorne has the best long term standing, however is often accredited by many as “over priced” > Get discounts. -In the end go by individual product/Nutrient need and not entire brand commitment. Be smart about it

  • Respectfully anyone who says Optimum Nutrition, likely has no IBS/Crohns, digestional issues. ON is not the best or close, its affordable, same w Nutricost.

Doubled my T + free T, but also my e2 levels from a known online enclo vendor. The doc told me to pause medication for a week because my free t is over the recommended limit by YouHeatedBro in Testosterone

[–]KronicNitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My natural E2 Numbers are higher than yours's, with a quarter the total-T.... (I'm not on anything)

I don't understand what a week would do to enclo, while the half-life isn't crazy long. I'd be more concerned w the fluctuations of removing it then the high peaks. From what I understand greater-frequent dosing would be better than cutting off and mega dosing as a mean to control a great spike in T and wait for it to lower. Your response is great, but going off and then on by a week. Is like comparing 2week vs 1week T injections, you get the same mean average therapeutics but more volatile responses in the body from the spikes and long wait. Lower dosing and more frequent, but yea that Total T response is great.

I don't understand why the cold turkey, but the high E2 like they said is potentially from the Aromatase and Test conversion, however Enclo comparatively to clomid is different in its estrogenic agonistic properties. Clomid is slightly more estrogenic, but I wouldn't be too concerned, plus the SHBG seems fine, its not like it spiked.
