Does anyone have any logs of people improving or being cured from the combo of R andro (androsterone) and 4 andro?

I know many post saw palmetto people have benefitted from it but not sure about PFS specific people.

I have a few bottles of both and deciding on either high dose R andro only or R andro + 4 andro but wanted to get some insight.

I credit it a lot to my success as you know by now I’m sure. I’m saw palmetto though. Only other PFS guy I know who tried it was Swill. He didn’t enjoy it too much versus R-Andro alone. I haven’t heard from him in a minute, though.

Hope you’re well my man. Been a minute.

Holy shit thats freaky, I was genuinely doing a home workout and this message board popped into my head... finished up and picked up the phone and had an email about your menton Maxout777 ! Im good man, yourself? It has been a damn long time! Hope all the old brothers are well in this weird piece of time we find ourselves in!

And to answer TubZy, I personally got more from 4Andro solo that I did from the stack, but mileage seems to vary with everyone so I wouldn't be shocked if you saw benefit with it.

I'm heading out now but will try to check in again in the coming days :)

Yeah man - your log is the golden standard template for these two prohormones. I have 10 bottles of R Andro so I figure I do something with them haha.

For some reason, all the topical versions make me feel like crap compared to orals. I don't really know why unless it could be the byproducts in the solutions. Finding pure androsterone is like a gem these days seems like everyone discontinued it orally for some reason.

Awesome dude. Which 4 Andro did you run and dose/timeline? Did you feel better while on it and it stuck into PCT?

The reason I'm asking is because I want to do a long 12 week cycle but I don't want to add 4 Andro in if I potentially can feel worse after getting off. Kinda be a waste. I know the saw palmetto guys do fine w/ 4 Andro but haven't heard too much on the PFS side.

I ran R andro a couple years back and was fine after ceasing it so I know I'm okay there.

I've run four andro many times.......that being said, I was WELL on my way to the road of recovery, so take it for for what it's worth.

Yeah man - saw your log on it I think your were a fan of it if I remember but certain doses blew you up like a tick lol.

What I noticed so far for me:

Androsterone increases my fatigue a bit due to the GABA agonism but anxiety goes down and feel a better. This is at doses 600mg - 1 gram total per day split into three doses. Don't feel much mentally anything below 600mg per day TBH.

Epiandro and 4 Andro both lift fatigue but feel more agitated and anxiety when I do use them even in conjunction with Androsterone.

The neurological side of this is a bitch and a half. That’s mainly what I’m left with also. Good luck to you my man.

Yeah man definitely - good luck to you as well.

What I found what totally reverses my mental symptoms are stimulants like caffeine pills (not coffee) and nicotine/preworkouts etc. but I feel like shit the following day before a return back to mental baseline again. Not sure if you had the same experience.

Have you run any androsterone cycles? They’re a godsend for mental sides. I’d think it had to do with fixing the root cause which would be 5-ar inhibition, leading to higher allo down the road. treating the root issue and not the symptom so to speak.

We have someone who’s almost recovered who says the same, nicotine basically reverses what he has left. I haven’t tried. I get a similar effect from l theanine mood wise, but for brain fog nothing has ever lifted it completely but androsterone cycles are what had the most impact on it so far.

Sure - I'll give you my take and try to make it short.

First off androsterone is a neurosteroid. We know for a fact that finasteride lowers androsterone levels in the body and brain. Androsterone is also a GABA-A agonist just like allopregnanolone is. This means that if the brain is under some sort of stress androsterone can act as a GABA-A helper to agonize or stimulate that receptor (allopregnanolone does the same). Allopregnanolone itself isn't that important it just happens to the neurosteroid that takes the biggest hit from fin but plenty of other hormones are negatively impacted as well. All of these GABA-A agonist were being inhibited with fin which causes the GABA-A receptor to upregulate along with androgen receptor in the brain to upregulate.

What makes androsterone special though is it seems to replace a lot of the other key areas that finasteride negatively impacted - specifically in the brain and body. Androsterone increases the brain levels of androsterone, epiandrosterone, 5α-dihydrotestosterone, and androstandiol.

So we know that finasteride blocked GABA, lowered DHT in the entire body including the brain, raises serum estrogen etc.

Androsterone does the total opposite of what fin does in all areas meaning instead of blocking GABA you are agonizing it now (causing it to downregulate), instead of lowering DHT you are increasing it in the body and brain (causing the AR to downregulate), instead of raising estrogen you are lowering it etc. So whether its a receptor issue or something else you are pushing yourself in the right direction.

To pinpoint exactly which area is the root cause I don't know but in laymans terms androsterone is the best to cover all areas that fin screwed up.

In regards to androsterone being the best, how about epiandrosterone and the differences? Is one better? I’ve ran cycles of both and noticed different things from each. Do they essentially work the same?

Androsterone is the Alpha isomer and Epiandrosterone is the Beta Isomer.

Epiandro is more stimulating and acts as a GABA antagonist while Androsterone is a GABA agonist which is more calming. Androsterone is also much more androgenic.

They work the same in the sense they both can convert to DHT through the backdoor pathway but the molecules itself have different direct effects.

Also, in the study I linked above - direct androsterone supplementation increased epiandrosterone in the brain - so you are still technically still getting an increased conversion to epiandro even if you are just supplementing androsterone alone.

From my personal experimentation with epiandro and I think CD had the same but it killed my libido a bit and made me irritated/aggressive without the androgenic properties along with muscle spasms/hearth palps. It basically felt similar to a stimulant for me and I felt weird on it.

I think high doses of androsterone only is the best and that is what I'm trialing now and it seems to be the best especially for mental issues - at least for me.

Interesting. Thanks for the input bro. I noticed pretty big differences between the 2 as well. Just began my 3rd cycle this morning so we will see how this plays out.

Just curious, do you still do the protocol advised here? Diet, cold showers, herbs, sunlight, etc? I’ve never really visited hack so I don’t know what goes on over there.

Yeah most of it besides the T boosting herbs right now since I'm on androsterone and I plan to stay on for a pretty long time at a high dose. Which type/brand of andro prohormone supplement are using now?

Regarding Hack, similar to here just with some more experimental stuff - CD protocol is advised there as a recommended protocol too.

Yeah.....it will eventually catch up, brain wise, sleep wise, etc. Some people are just a little too juiced up on the epi. This product will NOT do that.

Don't get me wrong, they both work exactly the same at increasing 5ar, so no worries there. Also, most guys I know prefer androsterone to epi as well. Now, we have choices. The end result will still be the same

Androsterone is very very mild in terms of suppression.

4 andro can be more suppressive but in general they are not super suppressive.

Androsterone mimics thyroid hormone and stimulates metabolic rate by increasing oxygen consumption. So it will have a "hyperthyroid" like effect to an extent.

so it will increase my TSH if I run it?

Do some research.......

What we are telling you is it's safe to run all around the board. It's not going to have a detrimental effect on you, as a matter of fact it will eventually bring out nothing but positives....eventually.

Stop worrying about these numbers.....the protocol is the same regardless of any of them. You don't want to try and "spot fix." Rather just give your body what it needs to do what it needs to do.

Sure - I'll give you my take and try to make it short.

First off androsterone is a neurosteroid. We know for a fact that finasteride lowers androsterone levels in the body and brain. Androsterone is also a GABA-A agonist just like allopregnanolone is. This means that if the brain is under some sort of stress androsterone can act as a GABA-A helper to agonize or stimulate that receptor (allopregnanolone does the same). Allopregnanolone itself isn't that important it just happens to the neurosteroid that takes the biggest hit from fin but plenty of other hormones are negatively impacted as well. All of these GABA-A agonist were being inhibited with fin which causes the GABA-A receptor to upregulate along with androgen receptor in the brain to upregulate.

What makes androsterone special though is it seems to replace a lot of the other key areas that finasteride negatively impacted - specifically in the brain and body. Androsterone increases the brain levels of androsterone, epiandrosterone, 5α-dihydrotestosterone, and androstandiol.

So we know that finasteride blocked GABA, lowered DHT in the entire body including the brain, raises serum estrogen etc.

Androsterone does the total opposite of what fin does in all areas meaning instead of blocking GABA you are agonizing it now (causing it to downregulate), instead of lowering DHT you are increasing it in the body and brain (causing the AR to downregulate), instead of raising estrogen you are lowering it etc. So whether its a receptor issue or something else you are pushing yourself in the right direction.

To pinpoint exactly which area is the root cause I don't know but in laymans terms androsterone is the best to cover all areas that fin screwed up.

Ok that makes sense, so as well as boosting positive allosteric modulators of GABA, it sorts out hormones in the brain.

I was also wondering what you thought of the theory that epigenetic changes were happening in PFS patients. Surely if that were the case, the androsterone wouldn't have much of an impact on androgen receptors, not would an increase in hormones?

Epigenetic changes can be manipulated by the environment they're in as well. Give the body the correct inputs and (environment) live a specific way (protocol) and these epigenetic changes will take place for the better.

Haven't seen any conclusive evidence on it just some speculation around some epigenetic "markers" and PFS but the studies showed nothing conclusive. It was just speculation.

I personally don't think any permanent epigenetic changes occur from finasteride since so many people have recovered and similar symptoms occur from other substances (saw palmetto, deca, minoxidil, accutane, SSRIs etc.)

To CD's point as well, you can influence gene expression by your diet anyways. Fasting and eating certain foods can trigger certain gene expressions (i.e. broccoli).

Yeah I agree that they aren't going to be permanent, CRISPR and such could deal with those types of issues.

I also wondered what you think my reason for having high Vitamin D3 is. I heard that many with PFS have extremely low D3, the reason being that the androgen signalling is broken, and yet mine bordered on being too high. Do you think its not really a question of androgens, but neurosteroids in my case, and what biomarkers could help me build a better picture from the hormone panel?

Thanks again!

I'm asking all this because at the moment I'm starting to realise more and more that what I'm going through may not be PFS at all, but rather simply the stress of thinking I do indeed have PFS, so if there was any way of diagnosing, or at least give a good indicator of it, I'd like to know.

Listen....you would know if you had pfs. It's not something that can be created in the mind. Certain anxious thoughts and maybe things that spring from normal anxiety could be effecting you, but they would not even come CLOSE to effecting you like pfs would.

First of all I want to tell you I’m doing good/great.. I recovered from PFS, still not 100% but many time have been very close to it.
Said this, I still have 8 bottles of R Andro in the fridge... they’re there from 4 years...

Yes I had a serious health issue, I have been hospitalized 2 times during these last 3 years for my Ulcerative Colitis. Now I’m using infliximab medication and it is under control...
I have arrived being 47KG and have been treated with 70mg of cortisol for months...
I think my body really restored it self since that moment...
For sure I’m also following a straight diet, it means no junk food and no milky products for me, and have followed the protocol the most I could.. cold showers- herbs rotation- diet etc..
Now I can have sex without any problem and feel f*** horny (depending from days as normal person), my brain fog has gone... so I’m feeling great!
I’m still not 100% cause I still feel my nervous system is not where it should have to be... infact the main issue I still have is that feeling of fatigue/feeling kind of tired in my muscles but for sure it doesn’t bother me that much and I can live a full life!
.. it’s true I would like to resolve also these last step... so that’s why I’m considering starting back my herbs rotation (I did it but o let in a liquid form, to don’t bother my UC) and the R Andro cycle...
But I’m really happy where I am, cause PFS seems to be Passed..

I don’t eat diary simply cause it’s bad for the colitis I have.
Let’s say that because of my colitis I put my self on a straight diet, and the diet is the same as TMO suggest (except diary for my self, cause it hurt me).

Dairy is taken on a case by case basis. Some guys have an allergy to it, others don't. Gluten of course is the main culprit, but for some people, dairy can be just as damaging. ONly way to know is to do an elimination diet.

Hey man! Glad to hear you're doing so well. I have a family hx of UC (grandma/brother), and i have had horrible GI symptoms with PFS e.g. severe abdominal pain, bloody stools etc. I see to be past the worst as far as GI symptoms go, but I'm still pretty sensitive to stuff. I tried R-Andro a while back and it seemed to give me a little GI upset and increased anxiety. It was over a year ago, and I want to attempt another cycle. My question: have you had any issues running it? Do you use the topical form to avoid the GI tract, or can you run the oral without any problem?

Sorry to hear that man, I hope you feel better soon. Super R Andro nukes my libido and emotions for at least 2-3 months after I stop cycle, it takes time for me to come out of it. I’m still in that state after my last cycle, even tho it’s slowly climbing. Normal in my experience.

Did you follow the protocol, especially the herb rotation to a T for at least 2 months before taking the super R Andro? Everyone I’ve seen that hasn’t raised their test levels through the protocol before starting cycle has gotten fucked up from it.

300 mg to 500 mg a day depending on how I felt. I’ve run 3 cycles, the longest one was 12 weeks. So I think you’re gonna be fine after 1 half pill my guy.

This has lasted like 3 months for me, first cycle I was a zombie for months, but slowly rebounded and hit my next cycle. Right now my Libido is extremely low, I have anhedonia and my dick is kinda pathetic. On cycle all of that was the opposite, and it’s slowly improving daily. R Andro can really beat you down, especially if you weren’t ready for it.

My advice is get on the protocol, with the herbs, and run it 100% to balance out your hormones again and raise your test up.

I can’t really answer for any of the technical things you want to know, I just think your body may have not been ready for it yet. Just taking herbs every once in a while and eating mostly clean wouldn’t have been enough for my body to handle it the first time I tried.

While a tad estrogenic, a bottle of water is not going to move the needle enough in a short period of time to tell a difference. Honestly, he can try a non-alcoholic beer that is hoppy. Hops are potent agonist of estrogen receptor alpha, so the hops in the pints will be what shows the difference, not so much the alcohol.

Zero libido and brain fog is back.

@maxout - I tried a beer other night and I got some libido and erection was fine, but I really feel so flat after using randro.
I am really down and feel really not good.
I have a business, a woman to carry on..
I have suicidal thoughts.

If your symptoms improved via a beer, then you’ve either got extremely low E or some GABA disregulation. I know we normally don’t use blood tests on this forum for much but would be worth seeing where your estrogen is. With crashed estrogen you will have all of those symptoms mentioned.

Ok but how to rebuild them up?

First I would do some sort of blood work to confirm it. Taking shots in the dark without blood work (unless you're following a known protocol) is how you end up in the situation you're in right now.

I took blood test this morning but for estrogens they didn’t have the MS method you suggested me, so I took them with normal blood test.

Good. Yeah, the LCMS method is quite expensive. Most of the time to get it you have to purchase privately online, in my experience.

I’m totally messed up.
Before I could get erection and get aroused easy, now it is impossible and feel numb and tired.
Biggest problem I feel is in my head, pain/discomfort feeling and tired as hell, with super anxious.

This is NOT from one R andro pill.

CD, do you think it is fine to run herbs by liquid herbs like pure tinctures?
I have UC and powder herbs give me pain, so I am using liquid form.
Do you think it is fine?
Thank you

Not CD but used plenty of tinctures during recovery. Should be fine.

Seeing as there are some tinctures in the recommended herb list, the answer is yes.

I have my hormones tests results:
S-Testosterone: 7,67nmol/L [8,00-42]
L3-S-Testosterone Free: 11,3pg/mL [15-50]

These are the only values out of range and I’m pretty sure it has been caused by Randro.

Any suggestion?

If only there was a website designed specifically for raising low T, with an extensive guide to follow and an entire forum for support.

Already on it homie…
At times I just need a boost of courage to get the right way…

Anyway started my regimen again yesterday.
Cold shower, paleo diet, herbs rotation, training (soft cause everytime I do it stronger, I feel like exhausted).

Did you get estrogen results?

If your T is that low chances are your E2 is low as well. In the event it isn’t, which would shock me as R Andro tanks E2, then that’s a whole other story. Estrogen dominance.

E2 are 20 pg/ml Range:[<31.5]

I don’t know if it’s too high, seems to be in the range… but true that T being so low me maybe they should be less than this.
My plan is to run herbs and make T raise and repeat tests to see where all values goes.
I used arimidex years ago and crashing E2 is not comfortable at all.

I'm with Tubsy in that, overall, oral R-Andro had much more pronounced effects than the transdermal Androhard. I've been looking for an oral source ever since. With that in mind, has anyone given any thought to trying this?
