I have a question. I remember there was a thread on using tren enan along with test enan for HRT. I can't find the thread or do a search on my phone. Does anyone remember the best dosing? Was it 75mg tren enan with 75mg test enan once a week? Thank you for your help, everyone.
Here is some literature on using tren enan for HRT:
Joshua Yarrow and his colleagues at the University of Florida feel that trenbolone may be a viable alternative to testosterone for androgen replacement therapy. They are set to publish their study results in the February 2011 issue of the American Journal of Physiology – Endocrinology and Metabolism. The researchers report that trenbolone enanthate may have certain advantages over testosterone that may make it an appealing treatment option for some individuals. Trenbolone is not adversely affected by the aromatase or 5-alpha reductase enzymes that metabolize testosterone into estradiol and dihydrotestosterone,respevtively. Bodybuilders have enjoyed tren for years precisely because they are able to avoid steroid side effects related to estrogen and DHT. Yarrow reports that low-dose trenbolone enanthate effectively produces anabolic effects in muscle size and partially maintains bone mineral density without causing prostate enlargement or polycythemia in castrated laboratory rats. Supraphysiological dosages of testosterone enanthate were required to produce anabolic effects similar to low-dose trenbolone administration. However, negative side effects of prostate enlargement and elevated hemoglobin became problematic at this dose of testosterone. University of Florida researchers are excited by the “SARM-like potential” of trenbolone. They suggest that the actions of trenbolone are similar to selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs). Low-dose trenbolone is called “SARM-like” because of the positive anabolic effects in muscle and bone without negative side effects of prostate enlargement or polycythemia. Trenbolone may have benefits over testosterone in terms of androgen receptor activation, the upregulation of growth factors such as IGF-1 and fibroblast growth factor, and anticatabolic mechanisms. Competitive bodybuilders have often preferred using trenbolone in the weeks prior to a bodybuilding competition due to its purported effects at accelerating fat loss. The current study confirmed that trenbolone has more potent lipolytic effects on visceral adipose tissue than testosterone milligram per milligram. Furthermore, visceral fat loss increased in a dose-dependent manner with trenbolone. In other words, the more tren used, the greater the fat loss. Trenbolone’s lack of aromatization, while generally desirable, has often been problematic for bodybuilders who have used trenbolone as the only steroid in a cycle. Therefore, most bodybuilders include an aromatizable steroid such as testosterone or Researchers also recognize that the lack of aromatization could be a potential problem if trenbolone is used alone in androgen replacement therapy. In their study trenbolone only provided a partial bone protective effect when administered to castrated rats. The authors attribute this to the non-aromatizable nature of trenbolone. They conclude that low-dose trenbolone enanthate treatment has SARM-like effects on muscle/fat body composition. Androgen replacement therapy with low-dose trenbolone could potentially produce anabolic gains comparable to supraphysiological testosterone treatment without the associated side effects. The therapeutic risk-benefit profile of low-dose trenbolone appears superior to supraphysiological testosterone treatment; however, additional research into this treatment option is necessary The researchers should be applauded for dispassionately and objectively researching the potential of trenbolone in androgen replacement therapy.
Plenty of reason to be skeptical. It's the end of 2013 now, so where's the published study? Seems like nothing but a hypothesis at this point...
I understand for HRT purposes it would be hard to put tren in that category since it is a steroid and not a naturally occurring hormone in the body like test. Maybe they can though have it as an "alternative" form of HRT though so people have choices? People use Cortisone shots for inflammation treatment and that is a steroid. Maybe apples to oranges but i think it would be the same concept. I don't see people using 100% tren for HRT purposes but a pharm blend of Test Enth 100mg and Tren Enth 100mg (other variations too 75/75, 50/50, etc) for HRT purposes as it still has the test in there and at the same dose as the tren. That would be an amazing pharm blend especially if we could get our hands on once again pharm grade tren!!! :headbang:
