The Foundation. Optimized levels (800-1100 ng/dL) are the prerequisite for peptide efficacy.
The Analogy: Peptides are like high-octane Fuel Additives. Testosterone is the Gasoline.
If your tank is empty (Low T), it doesn't matter how many additives you pour in—the car simply will not start. Fix the Testosterone first.
⚡ Golden Rule: Never jump to TRT if Tier 1 or 2 can get you to 700+ ng/dL naturally.
Moving away from archaic "once every two weeks" injections. Stability is key.
| Compound | Standard Dose | Timing | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Testosterone Cypionate | 100-200mg / week | Daily or E3.5D | Base hormone. |
| HCG | 500 IU / week | Daily or 2x/week | Maintains fertility. |
| Anastrozole | 0.125mg | As Needed (Rarely) | Estrogen control (Only if High). |
If Hematocrit > 54%, stroke risk increases.
Estrogen is NOT the enemy. It is Neuroprotective.
Key Learning: Avoided TRT dependency by using Tier 2 (Amplification) first.
"HCG acts as a 'mimic' signal, keeping the testes alive while on TRT. Without it, you're essentially performing chemical castration. The goal is optimization, not replacement."
