Thanks for the info. After a little research I agree that a simple test cycle would be best to start with, but im still not exactly sure what to expect. Testosterone enanthate, as I understand it, is a longer acting test and has to be processed by the liver, so is there risk of liver damage? TEST e is a long ester, and all hormones involve the liver in one way or another, this dose the risks are fairly small though. Just rehab the liver post cycle.Would it be worthwhile to take a liver protecting supplement with the test? Most people just run NAC, Niacin, taurine, choline and drink GFJ, this will keep the cholestoral, bile and liver good. Most absorbtion of hormones is done in the small intestines so keep the taurine and choline in check, by watching your BMs, But most of this stuff really goes farther with orals. As far as the cycle goes, is that Nolva alone going to return my body's testosterone producing properties back to normal?NOAGAIN,NO For instance if I get results from this cycle and am happy to stay there for a while, after the nolva I should be functioning normally and able to keep most of my gains with good nutrition and continuation of my lifting program, correct? To upregulate your own natty test functions will require a multi layered PCT. One utilizing either a CLOMID/NOLVA stack or TOREM along side sum HCG or HMG. Or any compounds that one can find to jump start your own LH/FSH as well as signal to your PIT to restart CAMP. Also diet will play a pivotal role here. Or once I start, will I have to continue to run regular cycles to stay big? I am also curious about the dosage. Would I get results if I lowered it from 500 mg a week since I am not that big of guy? Or is 500 a good safe dosage to start with for a beginner on a powerful test like this one? You will find that most TRT doseages are from 200mgs-500mgs a week, you can start low and adjust up, if you want to. Everyones body will react differently, so experiment on yourself and see what makes yo feel good.As far as getting what I think it is, I believe a have a reputable source, but is there any way for me to find out from an experienced member without getting banned? Thanks again for your time and help in answering all of my novice questions.
