I've had my best results using meso on motivated athletes with stubborn fat areas that they've been unable to cardio/diet away. I've done three of the competitive BB's at my gym. They were pleased. My wife and a number of patients with thigh cellulite have also gotten excellent results.

Really, the only way to assess sperm count is a microscopic exam. Semen color and consistency can vary widely dependent upon multiple factors, and may vary in the same individual from one time period to the next.

Bro, Using Deca is NOT going to reverse his knee arthrosis. And cartilage and collagen are different substances, so even the increase in collagen synthesis won't address the major problem in his knees. Total knee replacement (arthroplasty) is a commonly done procedure. Sometimes works well...

I'd get it rechecked at a later date. I find DHEA to be low in a significant number of patients when I check hormone levels. DHEA is the main ADRENAL androgen (not testicular), and is often a major source of testosterone in women. If it's low, I'll replace it along with the test, thyroid...

The vast majority of drugs are potent and safe LONG after the posted exp dates. They are required to put the dates on the bottle. A lot of this came from drug companies exerting pressure on regulatory agencies to have these dates become a requirement. They stand to profit hugely when large...

Hi Angel, Replacing thyroid in a hypothyroid person essentially gets them back to "baseline": in other words, where a normal, euthyroid person would be, metabolically speaking. Your risk with ephedrine or any other beta adrenergic agonists should be no more than anyone else. 11% BF? Pretty low...

Never done anything but Subq, whether regular or Depot form. I see no rationale for IM injection.

Supergirl, on the money as usual. (but Femara is an aromatase inhibitor, inhibits test to estrogen conversion ;-) Excellent source book I recommend to many women of all ages, and that has been invaluable for my wife: Natural Hormone Balance for Women, by Uzzi Reiss, MD.

Script or not, I seriously doubt if your insurance company wfill pick up the tab. They are VERY finicky about paying for GH; most require pre-certification, and evidence of an abnormal arginine stimulation test. Even very low IGF-1 levels are not enough for them. The one exception is if you are...

Only problem I kinow of w/ ketotifen is I hear it can give you hell of an appetite; not good when trying to lean out.

OK, my fine young bro! (Oh ye of little faith) I don't know where you get your "proof", but check out the link below (it's a Harvard publication). There is abundant other data out there, but this is in a nice encapsulated form for you "doubting Thomases"...

Large scale studies suggest that expiration dates are all about pharmaceutical company turnover and profit, not about science. They don't want drugs sitting on the shelves, they want turnover. The vast majority of medicines are fully potent as much as FIFTEEN years past their given expiration...

I don't advise it. Fiirst of all, it's a felony to transfer a controlled substance to a person it was not prescribed for (that would be you). Secondly, at 19, with your history of a strong sex drive, you are almost certainly NOT testosterone deficient. You need to learn to eat, and eat some more.

Say what?? Explain exactly what you mean. A true shoulder dislocation hurts like hell and will have you in the ER pronto!

I think pre-exhaustion prior to the big lifts is effective some of the time. I agree about switching up. The pro at my gym is very set in his ways, but the competitive BB he trains (female) will often switch it up and squat first (after warming up with Olympic moves like clean and press, etc). I...
