Ostarine dosing

[Pinggolfee96]

Been on mass genetics ostarine at 20mg a day for almost a month. They told me to try 20mg for the first two weeks then bump up to 30mg til the bottle was empty. I was curious if I'll notice any pros/ cons based off others experience if boosting up to 30mg for the last two weeks of the cycle will have any benefit from the 20mg? Or any cons? Thank you.

Notice anything yet?

Not much of a difference, I'd just stay at 20 and run it longer

I ran ostarine at 15mg ED initially, then 25mg. Finally went to 30mg and I'm really not convinced that increasing the dosage had any extra effects other than perhaps making me hungrier.

15-20mg is a good dosage..

OKay thanks everyone. And in terms of running a pct, I just picked up a OTC...will that be strong enough considering it's only ostarine? I'm also on TRT cream prescribed by my doctor. I just didn't know if I'd need a stronger pct than the generic pct you pick up at a supplement shop?

 

[Smont]

No pct on trt, just stick to your trt

 

[Pinggolfee96]

No pct on trt, just stick to your trt

Not for the TRT though, for the ostarine?

People on trt do not need to PCT. It doesn't matter if you added dbol and tren, when the cycle ends you continue your trt.

PCT is to restart your natural test which you already don't have, trt is your test and it's already not natural. I'm just rambling and there's more to it but if your on trt then no pct just continue where you left off

So there won't be an estrogen rebound either?

 

[Smont]

You can use an ai if needed but a OTC test booster or clomid won't really do anything for you while on trt. Are you perscribed a ai? If so you can use it if estrogen sides pop up but just continue your perscribed trt regimen and you should be fine? How long have you been on trt, seems like you don't really understand how it works

 

[Pinggolfee96]

Only a month. I'm pretty young to be on TRT but have pituitary issues. I understand TRT and ai, pct...etc. I just wanted to make sure osta wouldn't increase my estrogen when I came off. My estrogen wasn't high though when we checked for my low test levels. They were both low.

 

[Smont]

They should be treating your issue not masking it with try. (96)? Are u 21??? No way they should have put u on trt with out exahusting every other possible solution

 

[Pinggolfee96]

They did exhaust every other solution... I also have hypothyroid. We checked all my levels. Everything like my prolactin, estrogen, LH...etc are normal, except for my test. I also got checked for hypogonadidm and got a physical exam, but everything "down there" is normal. I even got an MRI of my pituitary to check for a tumor and it came out normal. They are putting me on TRT for a limited time then weaning me off it once they find a solution. I was in such a state of fatigue, lethargy, depression (basically all sides of low test), that they want to supplement to make me feel better until they figure out what's wrong

 

[Smont]

By down there I'm assuming u mean your sex life is fine. You didn't mention how old you are. I Kno a fair bit on this subject but obviously I'm no Dr. First question are u 21. Or under 30 but by your screen name I'm assuming 21. Second on top of your situation do u have facial hair. I know it's a weird question but plays a role in this for my understanding of the situation. My brother in law is a hrt/trt specialist and these are important. It's not uncommon

 

[Pinggolfee96]

Yes I'm 21. And by down there I mean I don't have hypogonadism or any abnormalities with the actual physicalities that would cause my testicles to not produce testosterone. But my libido is shot for my age. And as far as facial and chest hair goes, I don't have a lot at all and it's grows very slowly. My endocrine doctor actually asked my about my facial hair and how often I have to shave. It was a concern to him as well. My dad is also a internal medicine dr, and I have seen other docs as well, so we have multiple sources/ opinions of what's going on with me, but we're still trying to figure it out. My mom has autoimmune and pituitary issues, but for some reason some doctors are saying it's not genetic but I beg to differ

 

[Smont]

U obviously see where I was going but u have way more people helping you that are more knowledgeable then I am. Your issue is not so uncommon now a days for some reason but stick with what your doing. They will definitely know more then I do. I've studied all this for almost 10 years but there drs. I'm not , I will be one day but if there's 1 thing I can add Don't go trt for life at your age. Keep trying to fix it.

If you arent seeing "anabolic effects" on 15mg then I doubt going any higher will dramatically change that. For most, ostarine is pretty mild ie it wont increase gainz, but is pretty decent at minimising muscle loss in a kcal deficit. Id rather use var, given the choice.

 

[Pinggolfee96]

Trust me I have the same mindset....I HATE relying on medications or pills to make me feel better. I'm also grateful and appreciate your input because honestly, doctors don't always know...

I was negated everytime I told a doctor I thought I had hypothyroid couple years ago and they finally checked and I was right all along so they're not always right. I also have a history (and somewhat present) of being such low BF due to modeling agencies wanting me smaller. I was able to get myself off half my meds though by increasing weight since I stopped being so restrictive
