DHT conversion

[Archetype]

Quick question bros - Is DHT converted only from free test or can it be converted from bound test as well?

 

[Archetype]

Any bros here know?

I'll leave this one to one of the docs.

I would assume free.

Why the question?

I would assume free.

Me too. Any bros here know for sure?

Why the question?

Just some theories working in my head.

If DHT and E2 are the product of free T conversion, then it doesn't matter.

But, if they are the product of total/bound T conversion, then freeing more T (via proviron, Winstrol (winny), avena, nettles, etc.) without raising total test would mean one could get more benefit from test without raising DHT and E2.

Taking Proscar releases 19% of bound testosterone. So I beleive when you inhibit DHT you increase free testosterone. Somewhere in that neighborhood. Is there a doctor here? Lol.

Actually that's not exactly correct bro. Finasteride does not release bound testosterone. It inhibits 5AR which results in 10%-15% more test because there is less DHT conversion. Now, wether the 10%-15% is free or total goes back to my original question. LOL.

Is there a doctor here? Lol.

Bump that! LOL.

Bound Testos is useless Testos. Just the opposite of IGF-1. Bound IGF-1 is good IGF-1. Free IGF-1 is useless IGF-1. Most athletes test low free IGF-1 and high IGFBP-3 (binding protein).

DjRMW...cant you invent something magic to stop the test from converting to DHT ?

Confusing shit. Lol.
