Andro vs DHT? (+ My andro experience)
-
I've been meaning to try a DHT gel pending I can find a source here in the U.S. - the goal is to temporarily upregulate 5-ar and increase LH/FSH without suppressing natural production.
Barring my overtraining and sometimes poor sleep hygiene, I'm healthy and have no suspicion of poor hormonal health.
Though, a post by BerbarianWizard claiming that "DHT gives more drive and cosmetics." tempts me to try it out.
My problem is that I've heard that Andro is a "mirror image of DHT" and can even be converted into DHT. I have like 2-3 bottles of Andro sitting around that I use ~2-4x/week in the morning. So, I'm wondering if I would even get a novel effect from DHT - any thoughts on this? Does andro also upregulate 5-ar and increase LH/FSH to a similar degree that DHT does?
As for my experience, I have taken Androsterone in the 2mg-25mg range on and off for the last 2.5 years, here are all effects I have experienced
- The obvious pheromone effect
Most women are noticeably more receptive to me in any context in the 24-72 hours of administering androsterone in my experience. Ranging from being more kind, friendly, conversational, to just being straight up touchy and flirty.
One other thing I will add is emphasis on most. For some reason, I've had pretty negative social interactions with women I've previously had positive interactions with when not taking androsterone. I have no explanation for this, could just be one offs - unsure.
When I say pretty negative, I mean like a dry conversation and a flat tone - "unhappy to see me" type vibes lol. - Accelerated facial hair growth
Waking the next day shows more facial hair growth then when I'm not taking andro - Deeper voice
- Eggplant emoji
- Calmer, less anxious, prosocial effect
- Brittle bones
I only experienced this when I took andro in the 15+mg range and sustained it for a few days in a row - never again
That's all I can recall from the top of my head - as a side note, these days I take andro alongside Pansterone, but I'll run out of that soon so it will be just Andro eventually until I decide to restock.
