    Study On The Binding Of Dihydrotestosterone, Testosterone And Oestradiol With Sex Hormone Binding Gl

    These binding affinitys bring up the question of what is happening when we supplement DHT? Does it free up testosterone and estrogen,will testosterone convert to estrogen even though DHT issue oozed to suppress this? The body has probably signalled no more DHT? Nothing here breaks down the free...

    Nitrates / Nitrites Inhibit Androgen Synthesis By Raising NO

    Ray had a separate newsletter and a radio show on the dangers of NO precursors like dietary nitrates / nitrites and supplements like arginine. It is a bit ironic that quite a few bodybuilders out there pay a lot of money for the so-called NO boosters and in reality get the exact opposite effect...
