I stack bioforge with triazole. That shit works wonders. Google it - plenty of great reviews and arguably the best natty test booster available.
hmm well thats out of the question. Sorry to be no help haha+1 i used triazole in my last pct regimen and recovered very well! So if it can fix thos pretty much non existent test levels it xan definately give you a hand sarah.
hey guys,i've been tested multiple times and the results have shown that i have very low testosterone, even for a woman.since changing my diet and upping the fats, i'm hoping this will help, but i think i still need an extra boost. i'm seeing an endocrinologist, but appointments are hard to get and few and far between. they seem to be reluctant to help women out with testosterone issues because apparently it's not as important as if a man is having these issues. but i know that my having low testosterone has definitely affected my muscle growth. i've made some progress, but it's extremely slow, and i have low energy and libido when at the age of 23, i should not be having. i was taking 1000 IU of vitamin day daily, along with other natural sources. but i had to stop because one blood test came back and my vitamin d levels were too high, almost toxic. that was 6 months ago, and i'm getting less sunlight, so i'll probably start supplementing again with a lower dose along with calcium. but i'm really desperate. i want my testosterone levels to be at least normal. i'm a personal trainer and soon becoming a certified nutrition consultant, so i need to look like i actually know what i'm doing to my clients, and that i actually practice what i preach. which i do. eat properly, lifting heavy, everything, and its unfair to have this health problem holding me back from my goals. building my physique is my passion, and i work fucking hard for it, and i cant stand to be disappointed anymore by this hormone issue. any suggestions for a supplement safe for females, or something i can do would be greatly appreciated!!
Hmmm very interesting. Do you do a lot of volume? Maybe you could be over training. Also do you have a history of doing really low fat diets? Do have any other health issues? I just can't wrap my head around why this is happening to you. Also I would suggest trying to find another doc to help you, the person you are seeing now doesn't seem very concerned about about you.
i'm currently doing stronglifts 5x5, training 3 days a week, with sometimes a 4th day of assistance arm work. a couple of kettlebell hiit sessions in the morning fasted after backloads. i believe up until now i was probably overtraining, doing 5 or 6 days a week with a very hectic life. i've only started straightening that stuff out this summer. and yes, i was a vegetarian for about 12 years since very young. definitely a very low fat diet compared to now. i also have osteopenia, low bone density, which i'm seeing the hormone specialist about. i'm pretty sure during my vegetarian and low fat diet years i really messed something up and i hope it's not permanent. the gynocologist and the nutritionist told me that the only way to increase my testosterone was to make me gain weight and have my body fat go up. i want to gain a lot of weight, but in muscle. my body fat is around 17% last it was checked a couple of weeks ago, if it was accurate. i definitely am not going to eat to gain fat, that's for sure.
Ugh I am very sorry to hear that. It sound like you were a vegetarian during your entire pre-adolesence and adolescence, definitely not appropriate. It may just me a matter of time, the human body is rather amazing can rebound from a lot of things. You might not want to hear this, but it might be best to not push the training super hard until your health improves, but I think weight training would be beneficial.
Hey how long are your fasts everyday after your backload meaning without any food so before your oil/10g whey? I read an interesting article sayig that 15+ hour fasts routinely can lower test levels significantly it was written by a guy whod been doing IF for a year. Im trying to find the article again but i felt like that was worth adding in!
i never go longer than 12 hours before i have coconut oil and coffee, and then a meal an hour or 2 later.

Zinc Citrate can help to block estrogen conversion. I used pro hormones in the past and did not come off the right way. I ended up with real bad gyno on the right side. nothing could fix the hormone imbalance and then i took Zinc Citrate. Works well
I am pretty sure that eating lean meats is supposed to raise your test levels.Here's a Pouliquin articlehttp://www.charlespoliquin.com/ArticlesMultimedia/Articles/Article/689/The_Meat_and_Testosterone_Connection.aspxIf you google "meat raise testosterone" there is tons more.RB

Zinc citrate does nothing, worst conversion rate of all Zinc, virtually nothing of what you take even gets absorbed.

I'm not sure that's the case because it is has worked and continues to work to keep the lump away. Perhaps even a small amount is all that is needed
I don't think hydrolyzed whey tastes that bad. I still think the worst by far is just mixing leucine in water.
thats funny ... i was using the prima-force leucine and i would say it made every single protein shake taste horrible... even muscle milk - and that stuff taste great!maybe it was just that brand?
Nah, straight Leucine and BCAA's taste precisely like vomit smells.Cory
Sauteed dog piss would be how I describe it.

LOL. Not just dog piss, but sauteed at that.Cory
After my testosterone levels came back as shockingly low, I switched to a diet that consisted of lean poultry and beef, eggs, seafood, vitamin D fortified cereals and dairy products, and a fistful of nuts every day, ranging from walnuts, almonds, pecans, and hazelnuts. Hit the gym, lifted weights. And began using Ageless Male, a testosterone boosting supplement. So far, I've had amazing results with no side effects. If you wish to use a testosterone supplement, go ahead, but don’t forget to eat healthy and work out as often as possible.
