Leading Testosterone Therapy Protocols

What it boils down to, is one simple axiom.

How can you feel better in the shortest period of time.

This information is the culmination of best practices, by the leading doctors in testosterone therapy today.

It's been time tested by 1000's of patients.

Testosterone Therapy Triple Threat

- Testosterone + HCG + Arimidex

If your doctor only prescribes testosterone by itself, you will probably have a rough ride. The tendency is for you to feel great the first couple months, while you increase testosterone levels, followed by a slow deterioration, once your estrogen creeps up.

High estrogen negates a lot of the positives from testosterone therapy, resulting in the same symptoms of low testosterone you had in the first place! Fatigue, impotence, water retention (bloat), depression, and brain fog are common symptoms of excess estrogen.

Testosterone and Arimidex

The solution is to add a drug called Arimidex. It's called an aromatase inhibitor, which essentially blocks the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. It has the effect of increasing testosterone levels, while keeping your estrogen low.

Once you have your testosterone and estrogen dialed, it's time to stop the next inevitable decline... shrinking testicles. Sounds lovely doesn't it? :)

Testosterone and HCG

When testosterone is being supplied from an external source, they're basically saying "That's ok, we already have enough. It's time to shut things down."

For some, small testicles may seem like just a cosmetic problem. But HGC does more than increase testicle size, it also increases adrenal function, which can have positive effects on well-being, libido, and energy.

Low Testosterone Treatment

- 43mg Testosterone Enanthate E3D (every third day).
- 0.25mg Arimidex EOD (every other day).
- 250IU HCG every other day.

Your doctor may want to prescribe your dosages over a much longer period of time. Most importantly you should dose according to testosterone's half life. The half life of a drug is the amount of time a drug takes to metabolize to one half of it's original dose.

An example... both testosterone cypionate and testosterone enanthate have a half life of approximately 7 days. A 100mg testosterone injection will result in 50mg after 7 days, then 25mg after 14 days, etc...

If you wait a week or even two weeks, (like some doctors prescribe) you can imagine the difference in concentration with longer dosing. Testosterone therapy has to be dosed properly!

An every third day (E3D) dosing regimand results in the most stable concentrations over time. Some doctors like to prescribe 400mg of testosterone every month! Even more disastrous!

Once you've been on the testosterone, Arimidex, and HCG protocol for 6 weeks it's time to get your blood work tested to see where you're at.

Important Hormone Levels to Shoot for

- Total Testosterone 800 to 1,000 ng/dl.
- Free Testosterone 250-300 pg/ml.
- Estradiol 20-30 pg/ml.
- SHBG 10 to 30 nmol/l.
- DHT 60 to 70 ng/dl.
- Prolactin 2-3 ng/ml.
- DHEA-S 300 ug/dl.

You may need to adjust your medications accordingly to meet desirable ranges. Of course it needs to be said "symptoms always trump numbers." What's most important is how you feel, not what's written on a piece of paper. Many doctors seem to gloss over this.
