HCG And Proviron - Are They Safe?
Hello, I need to inquire about the safety of two separate drugs/steroids that I'm inclined to take. Both of these would be to optimize hormonal issues engendered by 5-AR blocking via finasteride. I'm positive that I need to push my system artificially with a drug in order to heal my hormones...- fever257

Androgens Boost, Estrogen Inhibits, Anti-aging Gene Klotho
This post has two main messages, based on the studies below. Namely, androgens (and especially DHT) potently increase the expression of the anti-aging gene Klotho while estrogens strikingly decrease its expression. Moreover, the more potent the androgen, in terms of androgen receptor (AR)...- haidut

Aromatase Inhibitor (AI) + DHT Combo May Reverse Kidney Disease (CKD)

Topical DHEA Has Potent Anti-aging Effects On Human Skin

Long Chins, Big Ears, Long/narrow Faces = GH, Estrogen?
I notice some feature mix ups and combinations.

Since the effects of GH...- MetabolicTrash

DHT Is Negatively Associated With Death From Prostate Cancer

Estrogen, Not Androgens, May Be The Cause Of Baldness
A quick post about a study calling into question yet another dogma in medicine - i.e. that the "evil" androgens (especially DHT) are the causes of men losing their hair and getting prostate cancer.

Estrogen And Cortisol, Not Androgens, Suppress Immunity

Testosterone Does NOT Impair Empathy In Men

Androsterone May Be The Main Source Of DHT, Drives Fetal Masculinization

Relative Testosterone Deficiency And Hypogonadotropism May Lead To Zinc Deficiency

Low DHEA-S Predicts Fractures In Older Men
