    Pregnenolone/aspirin can block cellular estrogen uptake, PUFA promotes it

    I have posted in the past about the "obscure" estrogen estrone sulfate (E1S) and its role as a biomarker of both onset and progression of breast, colon, prostate, endometrial, and many other cancers.

    Why do children have so good health if their androgens low?

    After thinking about peating, I wondered: why are children so metabolically ideal that they even overtake elite athletes by this factor, if their androgenic level is very low? Is it strange that everyone on the forum is talking about the rejuvenating effect of androgens, if children are the...

    Pregnenolone (P5) improves recovery from stroke

    One of the few direct studies with P5 in-vivo, though that may be changing as I noticed the rate of articles on P5 has been rising over the last 5-6 years. This study used four (4) administrations of P5, at a HED of just 0.3mg/kg, 1, 6, 12, and 18 hours after the (ischemic) stroke was caused...

    Negative effects from dosing too much Androsterone+Pansterone?

    One of the best TRT alternatives (natural potent stack)

    Going on TRT can be a challenging decision. How long are you going to be on? How are you going to get off? Do you want to get off? What about fertility, risks, success rate, etc? I'm not trying to say TRT shouldn't be an option, but want to give an alternative. Fixing hypogonadism naturally is...
