Were the effects on libido and cognition immediate, or did it take a few weeks?As many of you already know, I attribute a lot of importance to hormones, and I've played quite a bit with them.
I have been off testosterone since the 6th of June this year.
When natural, my natural testosterone levels has always hovered around 500ng/dl.
It was 480ng/dl before I ever used testosterone, and 520ng/dl in september, 3 months after I discontinued testosterone.
At that time I was off ALL supplements. Not one pill would go through my system.
I have started taking Thorne's basic B complex around a month and a half ago, with great benefits. Full sized flaccid hang, balls fuller, great libido, enhanced cognition, enhanced mood.
I was curious if it had had any impact on my testosterone levels, so I went for a blood test end of last week.
My total testosterone came back at 974ng/dl.
I made sure to take my last B vitamin pill 24h prior to the test as Biotin can skew results.
E2 came back at 16pg/ml (11-44) too low to my liking.
Prolactin 16ng/ml (2-18) which seems crazy high given that the B complex has a huge B6 dose!!
@haidut not sure what to make of this prolactin value and how to decrease it.
25 hydroxy vitamin D came back low at 21,4ng/ml (30-80)
My next experiment is to start Vitamin D and Vitamin K supplementation, see if they improve my muscle building ability, which is amazingly low for a T level close to 1000.
