Hey guys.

Suffering from a bit of low T (500 at 27YO) also high E2 (42)

Currently stacking ABE and X gels and DIM

I want a cheap test booster that's proven to raise total test to stack with the Sustain Alpha I just ordered

It used to be Trib and DAA. Any idea what would do it now?

Mate 500 is a fine level... dont stress it. Do you even have any symptoms of low T?

There is no true way of increasing your testosterone naturally. You could try Tongkat Ali but it seems to only work in men with some type of testosterone deficiency (due to hormonol imbalance or stress... works pretty similar to Nolvadex actually).

Maybe try some gellatinized Maca. It will increase your libido and cum load but does so without affecting your hormones. Scientists have no idea why.

I agree with Sanpedro that 500 isn't bad, but I also understand wanting to move up the scale too. I'd google "examine testosterone stack PDF". It's going to tell you to make sure you're getting enough zinc, magnesium, and vit d, then move to other herbal stuff if still needed.

Also, cholesterol and saturated fat are friends of T. So don't forget to enjoy steak, eggs, and butter!

Any idea about your free test levels?

CEL M-TEST gets excellent reviews, and contains several different test boosting ingredients at clinical doses.

Sorry forgot to mention I take ZMA daily for months now and eat about 8 whole eggs a day with lots of red meat.

I am experiencing fatigue, daily anxiety and low libido. Could potentially be from the high E

500 isn't that bad. I'd look at mtest from cel to aid in making that a little better. Reviews have be great so far

Are you stressed? It could be the reason you are experiencing these symptoms as well.

I mean, those levels are within "normal" ranges.

I would give either Inhibit-E, CEL M Test(Nutriverse has a buy 2 M Test, get growth factor XT or Epi going on right now) a try. Virtus from Iron Legion has also been getting some great feedback.

I'm taking M-Test and although I like the libido boost I'm getting from it (28 years old here), I don't know if it's going to actually make a mark on your test numbers. I'm 3 weeks into it so far and have another bottle so I'll probably run it for 6 or 8 weeks because I do like how I'm feeling on it - and it's extremely reasonably priced which is great. No improvements in strength or body composition yet but I am enjoying it nonetheless.
If you're looking to drop your E2 than maybe a doctor can prescribe you something. I just don't know if OTC supplements are going to fit the bill for what you're looking for.

I thought it was just funny. Porn does help however. Gets your motor running psychologically.

Cel makes a solid profile in a booster. M test.

Also. 500 is not terrible.
Maybe see a doc about HRT. Clomid or Test.

See an endocrinologist. You are too young to have low T. Clomid may be better. There is a protocol so kids are in future. Or TRT with HCG.

I don't think 500 is bad but if you feel bad. It is affecting you.

Second opinion my man. Get one. Get two.

It's your life.
Is this secondary? You never cycle right? (Did not read thread).

500 isn't that bad. See an endo, but as far as natural supplements go, there are several good options out there.

AlphaMax XT is one I would look into. You get a full dose of Ashwagandha, which has been mentioned in here. Not only is it known to increase testosterone, but it will also reduce stress and anxiety.

"Ashwagandha amplifies the body's ability to self-regulate its key systems, thereby achieving its effects in a more natural and safe way", says Kartikeya Baldwa, the director of Ixoreal Biomed in an interview with NutraIngredients-USA.com. [nutraingredients-usa.com 23-May-2014]

"The effect of ashwagandha on testosterone production is similarly integrative and organic. We should not expect KSM-66 to produce substantial testosterone increases in males with already very high testosterone levels or in females, because such increases would be counter to the natural state of balance in such individuals. Indeed, pilot data for another clinical study in progress indicate that KSM-66's effect on testosterone in females is not substantial."
http://www.ergo-log.com/human-study-ashwagandha-boosts-testosterone-level.html

Being stressed can also make one feel run down and can have a negative impact on testosterone. Tongkat Ali can aid in reducing the effects of stress hormones. AlphaMax XT also contains a full dose of Tongkat Ali

These results indicate that daily supplementation with tongkat ali root extract improves stress hormone profile and certain mood state parameters, suggesting that this “ancient” remedy may be an effective approach to shielding the body from the detrimental effects of “modern” chronic stress, which may include general day-to-day stress, as well as the stress of dieting, sleep deprivation, and exercise training.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3669033/

Finally, I would also suggest AlphaMax XT for the 3,4 divanil. Divanil binds with very high affinity to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), which will increase the concentration of free testosterone; as a result, giving the athlete all the wonderful things more testosterone will give. Studies have shown, Divanil does bind to SHBG, so, theoretically, your free testosterone levels will rise even if your total testosterone stays the same.

I know you said you were looking for a "cheap" option, but whether or decide to go with an all in one option like AlphaMax XT or some of the other products mentioned in here, it will cost a little bit extra. However, with AlphaMax XT, you get several different ingredients to help boost testosterone and at full doses.

To help save some money, you have some options currently.

1. TFSupplements has AlphaMax XT and a 14% off coupon for the holidays.
2. Nutriverse has 2 different options. A. 20% off or B. Buy 2 get 1 free.

My current bloods were taken after 8 weeks of alphamax XT. So either my levels were extremely low beforehand or alphamax didn't do much for me

Hard to say without blood pre cycle. Also, natural ingredients will not boost testosterone abnormally high. If your blood is around 500 now, it was proably in the 490s pre AlphaMax XT.

Did you experience any libido boost or better sense of well being on cycle?

Damn, I'm in the same boat. My total test stays in the mid to high 400 range and my free test stays at about 93. My cortisol came back high normal at 22.2 out of 26. The trouble with me is, I'm stressed ALL the time, due to living at home, trying to get funds for college, trying to get into this medical program, not having a car, going through multiple surgeries. Not being stressed insist an opinion now, so I need supplementation.

Dude ill tell you this. Precycle my levels tested 430 (dont know what theyd be now) but tbh i always felt perfectly fine.. no problems with mood, confidence, building muscle and libido. I actually expected to have more test... i geuss ur body just uses the test more efficiently in some than others

I did see an increase in libido boost and well being definitely. I was a mainly concerned with my e2 levels after 8 weeks of alphamax. I had a 10 hour hair transplant surgery just a day before my blood test, I'm wondering if this effected cortisol and in turn e2. I'm gonna do a retest to see what my levels are like now that it's been a month later.

Is a T level of 500 enough for muscle building properties?

Yes to both. That 10 hour surgery could have played a role. I know that would have made me stressed. And 500 is enough. Some endos, depending on a persons age, won't want levels to go higher than that.

How many times have you tested? What time of day were you tested?

Alot of things affect one off T levels, and so you need, IMO 2 or 3 consistent readings over a period of time showing a similar result.

I highly doubt any family or endo physician is going to treat a test level in the 500 let alone 300 at your age. HCG would only be considered with a year of fertility issues. Clomid isn't going to help the issue IMO. I don't foresee you doing much naturally to help the issue. You could help libido by freeing up bound test with 3,4 divinil the natural way, or by MAYBE lowering estrogen in a very controlled fashion but if you drop it even a tad to low, there goes your sex drive entirely.

You could also lower prolactin to boost dopamine which in turn will boost testosterone, my favorite mechanism.

"You could also lower prolactin to boost dopamine which in turn will boost testosterone, my favorite mechanism."

^^^This.. Mucuna prueins (sp?)/ L-dopa.
It's a single iningredient that has studies of it raising gh quite a bit along with test a good amount too, and this was on men with normal hormone levels. I personally buy NOW Foods L-dopa. It's super cheap, as in $16 and I buy it right at my local health food shop. Good tip though: higher extracts like the 98% are known to cause more undesirable side effects. NOW Foods is 15% but that makes for flexible dosing and easy sweet spots. Good luck bro!

SNS Inhibit P is an excellent choice for prolactin control. It's very cost effective as well.
