question from a user

Have y'all done any more data analysis on your patients? I realize it's not a true clinical study or anything, but you have a whole lot of data available. Are there any surprising results you've found within your patients/protocols/etc?

AlphaMD's Answer


We have done some analysis on our patients. Some of that data you might find interesting:

  • increasing dose frequency from 2x/wk to 3x/wk drops the average estradiol level by 15-20%

  • for every 0.25mg of anastrozole, the average estradiol levels drop 7 pg/mL (variance 5-9 pg/mL)

  • the average man converts 1mg of exogenous testosterone into 6.5 ng/dL of total testosterone 3.5 days after injection (variance 3.5 - 12.8 ng/dL).

  • doses of nandrolone below 200mg/wk in conjunction with TRT appear to be safe for long term use based on repeat lab results

  • most men and women who start testosterone therapy increase their hematocrit by 3%.
