Test booster for 47 yr old???

[knockout189]

My uncle is 47 and has been bodybuilding since he was 17. I'm a ripe 20 years old, and I wouldn't be surprised if he could still kick my ass. He has never taken any supplements except for mere proteins and amino acids, but is now looking for an extra boost. Today he was talking to me about how he is getting discouraged because he can no longer make any gains, and is continually dropping in strength and muscle size- which he attributed to his dropping testosterone levels. He asked me to research a testosterone booster that would help him out. Can anyone recommend any good test boosters for a 47 year old? Also any suggestions about any type of supplement that would help him would be greatly appreciated!!

He should look into test replacement. I tried many,many test booster products and none did anything. I think once your over forty its time to look into something stronger.

I'm 46. Here are some of my milder favs.
Dermacriine, Sustain Alpha, Formestane ( never tried but about to), T11.

Not to plug hard but I have an extra bottle of dermacrine sitting next to me unused. Probably would be great for an older person. Got it for my step dad but he was like, "No, Im a big floppy vagina."

At 50 my gains are as good or better than they ever have been. I give a lot of credit to Formestane cuz I think blocking estrogen is key.. not to say anything about the libido boost. I am getting great results using the Asteroid stack and I am going to conitinue it on and off for the forseeable future. I think this combo should have him doing quite well.

Training style has altered somewhat, I opt for shorter more intense workouts but not too much failure training.

Have him get to the Doctor and do a Blood test to check his T levels. They have probably dropped off due to age. The Doctor can get him started on a Prescription to get him back up to normal levels (HRT).

You could go that route I guess... I considered it and am glad I didn't as I have had great luck with herbals. Formestane alone could do wonders for him. With some of the other products I have been using I feel like I am 20 years younger. I think a lot of older guys respond very well to natual herbs and always think it's the frist thing you should try.

I loled, almost lost balance.

Make sure he gets the right blood test. Total test is only part of the story because most of it is bound by SHBG rendering it inactive. Get the "free test" levels as well. If these come out low, first have him try something like Divanil which competitively binds to SHBG leaving more free test active.

The other gauntlet test runs is an enzyme called aromatase. This converts test to estrogen. Unfortunately for us elderly flatulents, aromatase activity tends to increase with age. Fortunately, there's a lot of aromatase inhibitors available. I'm gonna agree with DreamWeaver here in plugging Formestane. You can get transdermal or oral now.

Finally, there's a lot of steroidal products out there that act like test for building muscle mass. They work, but you really need to research this stuff before taking it. I've grown very fond of Epithios (Epistane, etc.) and "the One." Consider a "pulse cycle" for any of these stronger anabolics for safety and retention of gains. Just my .02

I'm knocking on 45 and MFX/HX2 have done me well!

I just realized, I'm not 44 yet, I'm 43. Hell yeah, I've got another year to live.

For sure, Mass FX and hyperdrol X2 will seriously increase your testosterone, increasing strength and mass gains and improving quality of life. Glad you liked it!

I liked HDX2 and even though I prefer to run formestane at 100 mg 3 times a week as a staple, I just think that any natural means to enhance results is preferable at our age. I also will reiterate that estrogen control is key...

Bull****, I am 52, and I don't need anything stronger to make gains. Recommending TRT without blood work is ludicrous.

You didn't mention his current condition. If he is overweight, the aromatase enzyme is going to kill what test levels he has.

Before embarking on TRT , bloodwork is taken to determine your level of test. It could be that although his levels are low , he still falls within the reference range supplied by the lab. In which case i doubt whether he would qualify for test replacement.
He should discuss this treatment with his doctor to get the ball rolling.If he doesnt qualify then the choices he has are endless

Blood Tests

Total T
Free T/Bioavailable T
E2
SHBG

If E2 is above 30 then some type of AI short term might help depending on the levels of Total and Free T.

If Total T is low then see a good Anti-aging Dr. and get on HRT. Some of the T boosters might help then again they could do more harm than good. At 47 he probably could use the real deal if low.

If he decides to use a Dr. make sure the Dr. is willing to get his Free T in the upper levels and manage E2 with an AI.

Hi how sre you using the formestane ED or EOD and at what dosage plz

Any reply?

found it 100mg 3 x a week=300mg total

seems high but if it works for you fair enough. If total per week is 300 mg then could you do 50 mg x6 days ? or is there some reason not to do that.

I am taking it 3 days a week 50 mg 6 am and 50 in the 6 pm usually Sunday Tuesday and Thursday. This is a great way to always get consistant results, I can run it as a staple and never have to increase the dose. I take a week off every couple months.

thanks i should give it a go really , i am on trt and i know my e levels are sky high , strange thing though ive no symptoms gyno etc so maybe im tolerant of e. the doc doesnt seem too bothered either but then bringing an AI into the treatment is unheard of in UK unless youcan get a private prescription from a very understanding doctor.

its hard without taking it to see how my body would benefit because of what i said earlier but i should try i guess just to see

your dosage -our we talking about formex by ibe here

I was hooked from the first dose practically... immediate libido boost, or defintiely in the first couple days. It hit fast just couldn't remember how fast. I use transdermal version. The oral IBE put out sounded good but it's not getting the same kind of feedback.
