Having said all that we need to just pay for some bloodwork on the stuff and see how much it increases test after chronic use (a standard 1 box cycle). The German study really shed some interesting light on the topic though. All the "andros" utilize the same conversion pathway, so it's reasonable to assume that 4-AD would be metabolized in a similar manner to 1-Androsterone (1-DHEA). In that German study the primary metabolites were as follows:

    The metabolites in order of peak concentrations:

    . Alpha-isomer of 1-Androsterone/1-DHEA
    1-Testosterone
    HO-Dione 1
    1-Androstenediol, Alpha-isomer of 1-Androstenediol, and HO-Dione 2
    1-Androstenedione
    1-Androsterone or 1-DHEA

    That's pretty good news that 1-testosterone was the second highest metabolite after only 1 cap. Of course these were urinary metabolites and not plasma levels which can vary.

    I've been looking for reliable guys to sponsor some bloodwork for but get so busy with other stuff. If someone is interested in running a 4-AD only cycle with bloodwork please PM me. There are certain requirements that must be met.
    Very good information and something that will prove invaluable for any future user. Getting a few people together to run a hormone assay during a 4 week 4-dhea cycle would really get the eyes open, especially if we can theorize a similar conversion estimate as seen in the 1 - dhea study!!! This could really prove to the masses that these dhea metabolites are even more effective then originally thought.

    Stacking a methyl like havoc with a prohormone is a good idea imo. Starting the havoc first would be ideal.

    Essentially I have found some research suggesting that the enzymes that convert prohormones into more powerful anabolics are up-regulated when you suppress natural testosterone (it's more of a theory at this point but there is good evidence there). So taking a suppressive designer steroid like havoc would suppress your natty test faster, and thus make the prohormones you follow it up with more effective.

    Another idea on starting the havoc in the beginning (and this is somewhat bro science to be honest) is that having the AMS ph still running after the havoc is done will help you keep and solidify your gains from it. As opposed to possibly loosing some when a cycle abruptly ends and the hormones are gone from the body.

    I would probably start them all together which would leave you with 2 wks of the AMS ph running after you are done with the havoc. If you started the havoc 2 wks ahead you would be looking at a 10 wk cycle instead of an 8 wk total.
