In my research it looked like some of these convert to DHT. Not a huge deal I guess but I’m on finasteride. Seems counterproductive.

Not on trt but looking to add a couple of lbs while getting shredded for summer. Was leaning towards alpha seven. Would you recommend something else?

Oh, and thanks for the write up

Got updated results in today and my total test has shot up from 745 to 952 with estrogen dropping from 28.6 to 27.9 since last May. Not sure what ive done to cause it. I started Greyskull back up but I'm still not doing legs heavy bc of an injury. Also 2 years ago when I was lifting heavy I was only at 691. Maybe I'm getting better sleep now since the injury has healed some.

Unfortunately my free only went from 142 to 143. It had previously shot up from 108 to 142 after 6 months of Boron. I'm still taking 9mg per day and the free is just holding steady.

The problem is obviously in my SHBG as it went from 31 to 35.8 to now 43.8 over the last year. Any way to get this to go back down so I can increase my free?

Raise the boron and take vitamin d.

Here is a quick study(was small) that shows boron ability to lower shgb. And 9mg is kind of minimum effective dosing

But man your free levels seem fine, so wouldn’t worry too much about it. I would raise boron to 15mg, get on vitamin d and if you wanted something else natural get on sustain alpha
