Common Problems ON Cycle: What To Do?

I've been hearing and reading a lot of good things as far as using I3C as part of PCT as it is a compound used to correct hormonal abnormalities. It is employed to decrease bad estrogens and allow beneficial estrogens.

I'll be using a natural approach (well, OTC) in my next PCT and it will be based off of I3C and trans-resveratrol.

My cholesterol came back high HDL 62 LDL 123. Alanine Amino Tra high 58. White blood cell count 3.6 low. Eosinophils 6.2 high.

I have no idea what Eosinophils are. Is the alanine level refering to alanine levels, like beta alanine? I've been taking it.

All I know is that cycle support is going to become a staple after seeing my cholesterol profile. NAC as well.

I'm usually not a fan of sustained release formulas, however, I've read good things about Jarrow Formulas NAC Sustain. It's good, patented, dual release NAC.
 
I3C- Helps channel the good and bad estrogen. I believe there are some studies somewhere with breast cancer. Can't also aid in liver cleansing.

Niacin- Increases HDL, high doses for an extended period of time can be hepatoxic.

SAMe- Great liver protectant. Potential anti-estrogenic properties.

I forget the doses of Niacin and later on I will search around or see if I can get Dinoiii in here for these 3.
 
From what I see on my bloodwork, I shouldn't take niacin until my liver enzymes come down. Everybody in my family is saying they are elevated because of all the stuff I take, the liver has to process it. I think they may have something here. If so, I would venture to say others here probably have elevated liver enzymes as well. Thanks for the suggestions and the article.
 
Why no post for back/calf pumps? I know it's fairly straight forward to fix, but writing it up may be helpful, too.
 
If I go to the doc and say man check out these puffy nipps, can the doc prescribe anything for that or will he just laugh and say Sorry son??

Oh he'll just laugh and say Sorry son ...but only after he tells you to drop your pants and right before he tells you to turn to the left and cough. :)

In conclusion, Melatonin is a very underrated support supplement and makes one heck of synergist of SERMS like nolva taken for post cycle therapy.

Melatonin has been shown to increase prolactin in human studies, so i would be suspect that melatonin would help with recovery, in humans.

Well this thread was posted over 3 months ago, but any how, I've never heard of melatonin being used for pct.

It doesn't have a role in PCT I don't think. The complimentary effect it has with tamoxifen is related to breast cancer. See: NOTE

More importantly you can continue to take melatonin during PCT without it negatively effecting recovery.

"Taken together, these data suggest that long-term melatonin administration does not alter the secretory patterns of reproductive hormones in normal men." i.e. LH, FSH, testosterone - Long-term melatonin administration does not alter pituitary-gonadal hormone secretion in normal men, Rafael Luboshitzky et al, Human Reproduction, Vol. 15, No. 1, 60-65, January 2000

"Melatonin treatment did not cause any significant change in basal or post-stimulation LH and FSH levels either in men or in post-menopausal women." - Effect of melatonin on the basal and stimulated gonadotropin levels in normal men and postmenopausal women, H Fideleff, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, Vol 42, 1014-1017​

I wouldn't worry about melatonin increasing prolactin.

"The results suggest that melatonin has no acute modulatory effect on the secretion of these two sleep-related hormones." i.e Growth Hormone & Prolactin - A model for the study of the acute effects of melatonin in man, RJ Strassman, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, Vol 65, 847-852​



NOTE:
Source: Melatonin augments the sensitivity of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells to tamoxifen in vitro, ST Wilson, J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab., Aug 1992; 75: 669 - 670.

ABBREVIATIONS:

Melatonin (MLT)
Tamoxifen (TAM)
Estradiol (E2)
Estrogen (E)​

DISCUSSION:

The rationale for this experiment was based on previous studies demonstrating that MLT: 1) inhibits estrogen-stimulated MCF-7 cell growth, 2) alters ER levels in MCF-7 cells blocks the E2 rescue of TAM inhibited MCF-7 cells. Therefore, because of MLT’s modulatory effect on the estrogen-response pathway in this cell line, we tested the hypothesis that short-term MLT pretreatment increases the sensitivity of MCF-7 cells to the subsequent long-term inhibitory effects of either TAM or MLT itself.

As expected, TAM inhibited cell growth in the vehicle pretreated cells in a dose-response manner. However, the TAM dose-response curve was shifted to the left when cells were pre-exposed to MLT. Comparison of IC50 values for vehicle and MLT pretreated cells indicate that TAM is approximately 100-fold more potent when MCF-7 cells are preexposed to MLT rather than the vehicle for 24 hrs. These results suggest that MLT somehow “sensitizes” the cells such that TAM is a more effective inhibitor of cell proliferation not only at its therapeutic dose (371 ug/mL) but at much lower doses which were ineffective.

Pretreatment of MCF-7 cells with MLT has a modest effect on augmenting their sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of a subsequent re-exposure to MLT. Comparison of the IC50 values for vehicle and MLT pretreated cells indicates that MLT is only about 8-fold more potent following pre-exposure of the cells to itself.

In the control experiment, a 24 hr pulse of MLT, in the absence of further MLT or TAM treatment had no effect on cell proliferation. These data indicate that the increased effectiveness of TAM in MLT pre-exposed cells is not due to an additive effect of growth inhibition during the MLT pre-exposure period.

Tamoxifen, because of its low toxicity and relative effectiveness in the treatment of metastatic ER-positive breast cancer now represents the endocrine treatment of choice in postmenopausal patients. However, in spite of its many advantages, some patients with ER-positive cancer respond for only a short time or not at all. The findings presented here may form the basis for a novel and effective approach to treating some TAM-failed patients by sensitizing their breast cancer cells to TAM with MLT.​
 
I ve read sone of your posts. You are knowledgeable. I ve heard that Chlorodrol 50 is mild with little to no side effects. It is my first cycle on anything ever. Should I take milk thistle with it? I am on day 4.
Thank You

Glad you bumped this thread, very informative.

I, personally, would take milk thistle with any oral... methylated or not. I'm not sure what Chlorodrol 50 is though, what is/are the ingredient(s)?
