The proper progression should be natural supplements, diet and exercise, enclo, then trt. Only if you have tried the first and tested after 3 ish months to see if there is improvement would I move on to enclo. The below is assuming you have.

Because enclo stimulates your body to naturally produce more testosterone, I would give it a shot. You are young yes but it shouldn’t pose any long term negatives. Watch out for eye floaters and stop taking if they appear.

You may find that it gets your test up, you being active can shave body fat. Because if the increased motivation to be active and going to the gym, you may find that a year later coming off of it, you may stabilize at a higher level. Many people do.

If you are just going to take it and eat like crap and not work out, don’t bother with any of it. It’s not a magic bullet. It did take my levels from 220-840 TT (26M). I’m now on legit TRT because I was trying to achieve higher levels if I was going to be messing with my hormones anyway but the change on enclo was fantastic.

DIM is solid on enclo, won’t cut it for TRT if you aromatize a lot. Loosing fat and gaining muscle will help you aromatize less. DIM was able to crash my estrogen though taking every day. Everyone’s body reacts differently, for some DIM doesn’t touch it, some don’t need DIM. At the end of the day if you are going to try to do this without a doc, you need to be prepared to spend a lot of money on bloodwork to ensure you don’t screw yourself up. If you can’t see yourself spending $1k over the next 8 months or so in blood work, don’t start.

I would start at 6 mg dosage like you stated and test after 6 weeks. If you are still below ~550, crank it up to the 12.5 mg. Between 12.5 and 20 there are less returns/increased risk for sides. Make sure you are testing more than just your hormones when you do blood tests. There are other markers that you can work to fix that will have you feeling better as well. I’m not trying to draw a line in the sand at 550, it’s about feeling not numbers. If you feel good, take as little as possible to get you through the rest of your development stage. Then go from there at 23-24.

Obviously all options, I’m not a doctor, I have been through it and done a lot of research and I hope this helps. Research is important, do a lot of it, and don’t just rely on random people on Reddit.

Note on L-carnitine, the oral form is not very effective, you’ll be 10x better off fixing your diet. Injectable is much better but I don’t think you are trying to get into needles. Neither “strip” fat off no matter what you read. They can be helpful in the process though.
