I know how Boron works for free T but I think it definitely boosts total T also. 6 months ago my testosterone was about 120(the last several cycles I did a few years ago I didn't do correct PCT) so she put me on 100 mg/5 days. I also used Boron, when I went back my t was 1050, (she thought I was taking more) I explained that I used boron.....had to end up changing docs for a different reason, I've been without it completely for like 8 weeks so I was back to square one, no juice left in my system my new doc did a test, all I'd been taking was my boron bc I read it didn't affect total T.....well my T levels read 460 so she wouldn't treat me. There's absolutely no way that that wasn't the boron, my body's just not able to make that much on its on anymore. All of the studies I'd read said it didn't affect total T, but I see no other possibility. Anyone know anything about this?

Did you have any major lifestyle changes while you were on TRT? My total T when I started TRT 4 years ago was around 200. Got off about 8 months ago to knock my wife up. I took clomid and boron for a month before getting off and for a month after. Went for my yearly recently and my total T was in the 500s. I'm 40 lbs lighter/leaner, more active, better diet discipline, and drink a hell of a lot less than I did when I started the TRT. I'm guessing that's why mine is so much higher than before. I don't think I'll get back on it if it stays this high.

Other than I went from rarely drinking to no drinking. I'm eating healthy now but I was eating healthy before. The only difference is the boron. My T was so low a few weeks ago that my face started drying out and getting red splotches so I started back on the boron and it literally cleared itself up within 4-5 days completely without the cream they gave me to put on my face. The boron is the only variable, I was a personal trainer for 10 years so I know how to keep up with everything I'm doing that could affect health in any and every way.

I know it doesn't which is why I kept taking it right up until my T level test, if I would've known that I would've stopped taking it a week before she did the test but I just felt so bad without it I took it up til the test

Big props. I imagine at least 80% of men could have these same results, but are too lazy and undisciplined. Eat like crap/ don't workout? Yes, you're test is going to drop. People should always start here first.

No different than overweight people jumping on Ozempic before diet/ exercise.

I still like to knock back a few, especially if friends are in town or traveling with buddies. That said, along with exercise and better diet, I believe stopping the daily drinking habit I picked up during Covid had the biggest effect on improving T levels in my 40s.
