To be honest, I've never actually done a cycle. I fall into the realm of what's colloquially called "TRT+" nowadays. But I'm also a big fan of lower doses and finding your own personal dose rather than bolus. After I went through about six doctors for TRT over ten years ago, I gave up, went UGL, and started experimenting on my own. I try to keep my total Test in the 800's. However, I also love to experiment with things.. peptides, compounds, etc. I try to find things that give me an edge with minimal side effects... things that can work with the body rather than overpower it, which usually means lower doses. For the NPP, it did seem to help a nagging shoulder, which is why I started it... but right now I'm at a complete loss as to why I stopped it. As best I can remember, it seemed to help, but not enough to keep taking it and complicating my estrogen levels.
