i'd like to increase DHT

[Studmuffindrummer]

i'd like to increase dht to help with my very low libido. Are there any good ways to increase dht to a normal level without exogenous T? My DHT was a 16 (25-75). I was hoping there might be some supplements or foods I can incorporate to give me a little boost. The reason I don't want exogenous T is because I've been off injections for 7-8months now, amd being 28, I'd like to use TRT as a last alternative. Appreciate your time-and sorry if these questions seem dumb, I'm trying to soak all this up as I go along. Thanks!

DHT is NOT an FDA approved drug. There might be a study at http://clinicaltrials.gov/ . Andractim is DHT.

use androgel or some transdermal. I think it works miracles for libido and know it raises DHT too-- which might be cause/effect or vice versa??

My insurance doesn't cover androgel, it does cover testim, but i sweat alot at work and I'm concerned with exposing with my wife and kids. I was hoping there were a few ways to try increasing it without hurting my hpta more than it already is. DHT at 16 is pretty low. Thanks for helping out, same to you Scally.

Transdermal DHT (i.e. Andractim) is suppressive too. If you're willing to use it, you may as well go with the Testim, since at least your insurance will cover it. If you are worried about suppressing your HPT axis, then just use less. Especially since you're just looking for a little libido boost instead of full-fledged TRT... Also, using Testim will be better for your T : DHT balance; using DHT alone will not (remember that T is converted into DHT, but DHT is not converted into T).

Application time will prevent exposure to your fanily. For example-- apply it in bathroom at work when you know you won't touch anyone for hours.

I apply at 230 pm knowing I won't be touching anyone for several hours-- weekkend I apply early AM!!

I honestly think a transdermal is the way to go for libido /dht. I speak only for myself (n = 1) but sunofabitch am I a horny ole bastard!!!! I am 61 and could ejaculate daily easily and sometimes do (ain't bragging-- just fact!) Try testim = my advice.

 

[Studmuffindrummer]

thank you guys, I will take that into consideration.

Yeah i'd echo everyone here - Testim is pretty good. It also only takes 2-3 hours to absorb fully.

There are some other ways to raise DHT, but not sure how much they will help libido.....

Creatine for example is supposed to raise DHT
Not totally sure but I believe green tea raises DHT

There are some other ways but the best is transdermal gel

IMO, I dont think DHT will increase "Libido". It may induce additional strain on your heart and hair line... For that matter, I dont even think it will increase erection POWER all that much as I think this is tied to cardivascular as a primary. Either way, be sure what it is you are after prior to the quest. Is it LIBIDO - the desire to hunt the twat. OR is it better/more frequent & longer lasting erections? The concept of "Libido" is a psychological term, and you will not find a serum count for this one.

Really, the best way to increase Libido is amphetamines... Seriously. But that should at least put you on a better track.

Finally, why someone would want to increase the desire to seek out and serve those crazy bastards is beyond me. You may just be wise beyond your years...

libido at least to me = desire to have sex

no doubt in my case androgel increased my libido

no doubt in my case androgel increased my DHT

no doubt in my case it did nothing to my hair (I am 61 with a full head of hair)

No doubt in my case androgel "helped with ED" but definitely didn't cure it! I still use generivc viagra or levitra neither of which cause me any side effects!

wouldn't use "uppers" ever for any reason-- talk about straining your cardiovascular system!!! eeeek is right
