Are you referring to the Thor's hammer that contains Arimistane?Not trying to be argumentative, but there may be something else at play or just your chemistry?
My libido goes down when I take androsterone too, but any other andro also.
And when I take them I noticed that if affects my prostate negatively too, so maybe it has more to do with that?
For example, I take a supplement (Thor's Hammer) that mimics viagra, steroids, AIs, SERM, and NO boost - designed for bodybuilders.
Nothing else gets my libido as high as that product, like it's insane, and it keeps my E and Cort low.
The creator says 10% or lower.
The first time I took it (a month supply), I didn't have much time to workout, if any.
I still lost fat and my muscles hardened!
My eyes got whiter and my teeth too, all good signs IMHO.
I wish there was more research on androgen receptors, etc., but activating those and turning off the estrogen receptors is part of the design of that product, it has several AIs, and a SERM I think.
The creator of that product (Dr. Todd Lee) is also anti-establishment like Peat.
I wouldn't say I am anti-establishment, but I tend to go with guys like them, because they think independently and soundly.
He said he stopped practicing medicine due to all the unethical practices of just pushing pharmaceuticals, etc.
Anyway, IMHO, it seems like common sense.
Blood levels is a decent indicator, but is it enough?
What's the point of having a ton of things floating around if it isn't being used.
The purpose of the cardio system is to pump blood so the body can use it, not just to swish it around, it needs to be used properly.
Like it needs to get pumped around good and plenty, used and absorbed maximally, but then pumped out completely, not just swishing around.
IDK about all things, but I read somewhere that when food is undigested and gets in the blood stream and just floats around, that is how one develops an allergy to it.
