Any idea on legal ways to obtain pure dht low dose drops. or is there any idea on if dht May become available for research purpose? Had no luck with 11keto. @haidut any new dht supplements yet to come?
Such a shame dht seems to be very worth using in all aspects especially since it’s stimulates itself. Would low dose andersterone be next best thing for young males raising androgens? Maybe 2 mgs preg 2 mgs andro topically I have low pregnenolone levels last I checked before peating @haidutI wish, but DHT is still highly illegal. I actually expect 11-keto to also get banned once enough athletes start to (ab)use it and WADA bans it for good.

I’ve included raw milk and 12-18 raw eggs a day since my labs so maybe more precursors @haidut
@haidut could andro topically to beard area stimulate 5ar locally for androgenic hair growth?
You’ve been using andro for a few years at this point correct? With great results?I would rather use it in a way to have systemic androgenic effect and this should help with beard growth as well.
Do you know off hand what modifiable factors might predispose a person to poor cholesterol conversion?The eggs are fine and may help with precursors. I would do a test for pregnenolone again in a few weeks and if it is still low then you may need to supplement with it directly due to poor conversion of cholesterol.
Lack of sugar? And vitamin a?Do you know off hand what modifiable factors might predispose a person to poor cholesterol conversion?
Here's a paper I had forgotten about:Lack of sugar? And vitamin a?
Wonder the most effective way to increase StAR is? In humans lolHere's a paper I had forgotten about:
Inhibiting COX-2 In Senescent Rat Leydig Cells Restores Testosterone Synthesis
<<Although multiple factors have been reported to be involved in the age-associated decrease in blood testosterone (1, 2, 9), it appears that the primary site for this decrease is testosterone biosynthesis in aging Leydig cells (1, 10). The rate-limiting step in testosterone biosynthesis is the transfer of the substrate cholesterol to the mitochondrial inner membrane, thereby initiating the steroidogenic process (11). We previously demonstrated that the steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein plays a critical function in this step by facilitating cholesterol transfer to the mitochondrial inner membrane (12–14). However, StAR protein also declines during Leydig cell aging, and the process of mitochondrial cholesterol transfer in aged Leydig cells is defective (15–17). Therefore, the mechanism regulating the age-related decline in StAR gene expression becomes an important consideration in elucidating the decline in testosterone biosynthesis during male aging.
...In summary, our results indicate that a COX2-dependent tonic inhibition of StAR gene expression is involved in the regulation of the steroidogenic sensitivity of Leydig cells to LH or cAMP stimulation.>>
The StAR protein transfers cholesterol into the Leydig cells where it can be synthesized into steroids. So, inhibiting COX2, by increasing the expression of StAR, should also increase the amount of PREG produced in the testis. Following this logic it would seem that even a temporary course of high-dose aspirin can be useful for stabilizing the organism in times of acute stress, since the interruption of steroidogenesis can cause a vicious cycle.
Aspirin is a COX2 inhibitor. Sorry, I should have spelled that out. There are other, pharmaceutical drugs with a more specific action on COX2 but I've never tried any of them.Wonder the most effective way to increase StAR is? In humans lol

do you use aspirin at the moment ? So up in the are on aspirin studiesAspirin is a COX2 inhibitor. Sorry, I should have spelled that out. There are other, pharmaceutical drugs with a more specific action on COX2 but I've never tried any of them.
Haidut, do you think DHT has any advantages over androsterone? I don't notice anything reliable with androsterone, so I'm wondering if its worth it to seek out DHT.I wish, but DHT is still highly illegal. I actually expect 11-keto to also get banned once enough athletes start to (ab)use it and WADA bans it for good.
How much andro were you using?Haidut, do you think DHT has any advantages over androsterone? I don't notice anything reliable with androsterone, so I'm wondering if its worth it to seek out DHT.
