What does it mean when you guys say a prohormone "shut you down"?

We mean, your natural testosterone production stops because the body is used to a test substitute. The stronger the supplement and longer you run it causes your body to think that it has enough and doesn't need to produce testosterone. So when you stop taking it, your test level drops or in other words "shuts down" for a time.
 
This only happens with a testosterone supplement though like steroids, Ph, Ds, Etc. Testosterone boosters don't do this. They only increase what you "naturally" produce. Hope this helps.
 
HPTA (Hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis): The endocrinological system that regulates production of sex hormones.
 
HPTA (Hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis): The endocrinological system that regulates production of sex hormones.

I make this mistake from time-to-time still as well. HPTA is actually the hypothalamic pituitary thyroid axis. HPGA is gonadal!
