I think I solved my puzzle. I read a lot in the forum since about 6 months. Tried mostly diet and supplement routes. And until now some very minimal approaches (only 1-2 drops a day oral or dermal) with progesterone, 5a-dhp and cypro.
Before I pushed my dht leves to high via creatine since then my libido is wasted. Also did low carb and intermittent fasting. So stress brought up dht and T down.
I figures this also because, i got my hormones tested several times and the doctors say T is normal and also they don't look at DHT. I will go to a specialist as well to confirm my theory with another test soon.
My libido I goes up when i drank alcohol the night before. Which is what I've read in this forum before. so it also might be that the allopregnanolone pathway is wased and i should try more with 5adhp. Thing is i take 1 drop only and my balls hurt/feel pressure.
So following my thoughts and what I've tried before would like to try the question in the thread title naturally before seeing the specialist.
I know there is a testboost protocol from haidut with protein, zinc, magnesium, b6, vit e. I am more or less trying that right now. It seems to have somewhat postive impact on my overall health but not necessarily on the libido department per se until now.
Any ideas about adaptation? Not using vit E that much? Any other ideas? I dont want to block dht, i just dont want it to go up with the t levels. If some thread with similar topic exists...i searched the forum a lot and didn't really find something...
Lysine seems to help somewhat.
red ginseng is on my radar right now (DIM, Calcium-d-glucarate, Quercitin might be options too?)
other side notes: had prostate problems since 18 years old (they were totally harmless but something was off). after using creatine i got prostatitis at the age of 27 years.
felt some libido improvement on saw palmetto+zinc+pumpkin seed combo, after the prostatitis...which i think did never heal properly. Now I know saw palmetto is practically poison and i dont use it anymore...although it halted my receeding hairline and improved libido somewhat.
