  1. Havov Cycle / Possible 11-oxo stack/bridge - help

    Usually no, you have to ask for it or have an issue where your doctor might suggest the tests in order to figure out what the issue is.

  2. Havov Cycle / Possible 11-oxo stack/bridge - help

    Yes. The tricky part is finding a doctor that will be agreeable to ordering the tests for you. The other tricky part is finding a doctor that knows how to read the results and not just go strictly by the idea of “if it’s technically within range, then you are fine,” reason being that if it’s...

  3. Rethinking on Berberine?

    I think with a cheat meal makes sense, in the sense that you want to minimize the caloric effects of the meal (just keep in mind, berberine is likely not so much nutrient partitioning but rather nutrient blocking in the small intestines). Away from a workout. Post workout meals and pre workout...

  4. Havov Cycle / Possible 11-oxo stack/bridge - help

    The tamoxifen will deal with the estrogen rebound. Unless your issue is with prolactin but my assumption is that prolactin issues likely happen again on cycle rather than a rebound issue off cycle (if anybody knows that it is a rebound issue possibly for prolactin as well, please feel free to...

  5. Rethinking on Berberine?

    I think it definitely does. Remember, androgens increases the effects of mTOR. Metformin has direct mTORC1 inhibition. It’s directly inhibiting the signaling for growth. Now, obviously it does not completely negate it, but there is solid data showing that it results in less muscle mass accrual...

  6. Rethinking on Berberine?

    ^^^ This. Totally inhibiting muscle growth isn’t the actual issue, it’s that you are likely going to accrue less muscle mass.

  7. Rethinking on Berberine?

    Probably, the best way to take metformin and other strong AMPK activators is probably on non-workout days and in the morning. Mainly to get that morning glucose dump cleared. Probably not a great idea to take it around workouts and probably a better idea to just use on non-workout days (I...

  8. BRONKAID

    Was at Walgreens yesterday getting some Claritin, checked if they still had Bronkaid and saw that they did :) It also has a much more modern and slicker looking package now. I also saw that Walgreens also had their own generic branded version now as well, it’s half the dose of Bronkaid though...

  9. Rethinking on Berberine?

    I’m not that clear on metformin’s effects on IGF-1 but from what I understand, one of the reasons it is promising for anti-tumor effects is that it actually lowers insulin and IGF-1 as it has effects on the IGF receptor (it also down regulates mTORC1, that’s more of a concern as to why it...

  10. Rethinking on Berberine?

    Metformin can stick around for up to 14 hours. Not sure the purpose of taking it pre-workout. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

  11. Rethinking on Berberine?

    Yes, and away from your workouts.

  12. Rethinking on Berberine?

    Think about this, metformin you want to take away from a workout. Something like berberine in a GDA you take before a meal. What would the point of that be?

  13. Rethinking on Berberine?

    That’s one of the reasons for metformin. Berberine is also heavily marketed as something great for anti-aging/longevity. Shawn Wells praises it up and down. Now, there very well may be great health benefits for taking berberine (the data looks good, granted a lot of it is based on in vitro...

    That looks excellent!

  15. Havov Cycle / Possible 11-oxo stack/bridge - help

    NAC I get mine from Life Extension. Don’t skip on the Pantethine (Jarrows), it’s significant what it does for lipids and cholesterol.

  16. Havov Cycle / Possible 11-oxo stack/bridge - help

    PCT: your SERM + pantethine + NAC + fish oil I don’t really like natural test boosters as they more or less don’t do anything meaningful in terms of actual HPTA recovery. I try them sometimes when they come out with a brand new novel ingredient but that’s purely out of curiosity. Skip the...

    EOD idea also came from reading internet posts. :D Lastly OP, there is a anabolics section on this board. This thread really should have gone there. LoL.

  18. Havov Cycle / Possible 11-oxo stack/bridge - help

    Yup, TUDCA slipped my mind :) But I was thinking PCT, so TUDCA I use to run a week into a cycle and that lasts only a week into PCT. Also, the epistane cycle was that long because I didn’t know any better at the time being a noob :p Everybody on the internet said it’s a great first cycle and...

  19. Havov Cycle / Possible 11-oxo stack/bridge - help

    Swap out that ProteX for Liver Stabil and Lipid Stabil (Molecular Nutrition) and add in pantethine (I get mine from Jarrows). Get a bottle of TUDCA as well (I used Olympus Labs before, decent). Liver and Lipid Stabil, use at bottle recommended dosages. Pantethine @ 450mg twice a day. TUDCA @...

  20. Havov Cycle / Possible 11-oxo stack/bridge - help

    I would think epistane would be one of the least likely candidates for you to get gyno from on-cycle (post cycle estrogen rebound is another matter altogether).
