I'm on TRT. After ~6 weeks I was at 968 (on a single 50mg. pack of Androgel). I started using Alpha-7, after another ~6 weeks I was at 1187! I had been using Alpha-7 (only for a short time before the blood draw) and decided to stop it ~4 days before the blood draw. My DHT levels were OFF THE CHART! I'm talking 4 X top level!
My questions are:
1) Could the Alpha 7 have cause a false high reading on my Test? 1187 seems extraordinary for a single 50gm. pack of Androgel.
2) Could the Alpha 7 have caused the extraordinarily high DHT levels?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated, as I meet with my TRT doc on Monday, the 21st. I know he'll likely geek out over the Test levels, and I'm sure he'll geek over the DHT levels. I need to know what to tell him about the likely effects of the Alpha 7.
Thanks,
