Random Collection of Questions

[nekojeeta]

A few questions that I’ve been hanging onto (thanks in advance!):

1. Is it correct that Mast E will only raise Total T levels on a LC/MS (aka sensitive) blood test and not in a non-sensitive test?

2. Does Mast E impact free T?

3. I carry a bit of water weight due to my high e2 on Test. Will adding Mast E take some of that water weight off of me (I assume yes)

4. My bloodwork showed 98 e2 @ 1333 Total T and at this level I have zero sides outside carrying a little additional water weight, so I assume not a huge deal?

5. After the above blood test, I increased my Test C dose by 5mg a day and after two weeks I’m finally starting to get some spicy nips for 1-2 hours every other night or so… do I need to worry about gyno at this point (should I roll back to last dose and pop 1/4 AI) or is it safe for me to go another few weeks to see if it subsides on its own?

6. I heard Mast E can hurt lipids? Is it mainly decreasing HDL or can it also raise LDL? Is it fair to ignore HDL/LDL and focus on ApoB and as long as it’s under 1 to assume all is good?

7. I don’t have mbp in the family, but I’m wondering at what DHT:e2 ratio that I should start to be concerned?

8. What resting heart rate is assume safe? (I’m at around an 85)

9. If someone takes more anabolic load then they need to grow then does that mean they will just continue to grow until they have maximized that anabolic load, or are they essentially wasting it since it someone desensitizes them to it sooner than they needed?

10. Does DHB have potential impacts on blood markers outside of liver/kidney values? Such as RBC/HCT, HDL, LDL, etc?

I don’t know the answer to most of this stuff, but for (4), I’m not so sure that’s okay. I don’t think having a high E2 is alright just because you aren’t experiencing the harsher side of the side effects.

maybe try asking todd lee directly. he seems to be guy that knows everything the best and everyone else is wrong.

Do more Zone 2. Lots more.
There are clinical notes and researcher anecdotes of reta increasing RHR for some users. In Phase 3 trials it resolved after 24 weeks. Anecdotally (not me personally, just forum-collected notes) it has resolved above 6mg/wk.

Book a consultation with Dr. Todd Lee. As you said yourself, full of garbage here.

Start feeding ;-) fuck me for asking questions on an online forum

Ok ‘bro’ - I don’t put my trust 100% into anyone and always research whatever direction I take to the point where I feel there is sufficient logical grounding for the path I take

Thanks! I’ve been upping the cardio and it may be somewhat related to a small dose of Reta that I’m taking (1mg every 5 days)

Sure, shoot me over $250

To be fair I have at least been trying to help improve things here for people.. had a vendor’s MastE tested by Jano and it came back as EQ which helped a number of ppl get refunds and avoid crashing their e2

Any idea why? Everything I’ve seen has said that as long as you aren’t experiencing sides it’s not bad

The only argument so far I’ve heard that makes sense is it leads to higher water retention which can increase bp (my bp is fine)

To be fair pages of replies to your questions were met with the comment that it is mostly garbage here so it doesn't seem like you think it is that good anyway.

I'm not the one who needs those questions answered

If you want, I can answer one question at a time, but you will have to reply each time to show that you are responsive and apprehensive, and if you want to base your understanding on logic as you said, try and refute what you disagree with (don't worry I don't get offended) and not just claim the logic card because X or Y Todd Lee Certified Fact ® says so. In the process you'll see that just your questions alone are based off of axioms you have yet to prove but once you get an answer that it is what it is, you dismiss it.

That you’re not feeling sides right now doesn’t mean it can’t fuck you up in the long run. Higher E2 is known to even cause depression (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29107881/) alongside the boatload of other side effects everyone already mentions. Don’t wait for it to harm you, just get it in check now, better safe than sorry, no?

I don’t really know what you are talking about… but I’m always down to listen and learn as long as I’m not just being asked to blindly trust statements.

Thats the entire reason I’m even on this board or posting these questions. I have an idea of of the answer of a lot of them, but wanted to get additional input (in some cases I’ve gotten conflicting information as well)

Which comment are you talking about? Happy to reply to any and all comments of my posts

I get my info from multiple sources and the try to make an informed decision… a lot of the advice on this and other forums is honestly shit (definitely some needles in the haystack of course which is why I’m here)

That you’re not feeling sides right now doesn’t mean it can’t fuck you up in the long run. Higher E2 is known to even cause depression (Increased estrogen level can be associated with depression in males - PubMed) alongside the boatload of other side effects everyone already mentions. Don’t wait for it to harm you, just get it in check now, better safe than sorry, no?

Thanks - I’ll definitely watch for signs of depression (tend to be a happy person and that hasn’t really changed since I started TRT)

I’m not seeing anyone else mention any other downsides of high estrogen (in this thread at least). I’ll look into it more, but where have you seen this? (Most ppl seem to not be concerned as long as you aren’t getting sides like burning nips, gyno/hard masses, impacts to sleep, etc)

Doesn't look like it from your other thread, "long term bulk", pages of answers, yet you only replied to whoever gave you a "yes man" answer.

Edit: of course you did reply to more people, but you only apprehended the message of whoever agrees with your original views.

Understood - to be fair that has been the case for a lot of info… of course not all info.

There are some great comments / info that’s been posted, but it seems to be in the minority…
