Thinking about doing some research on my aging ape. After reading the logs previously done on this my thoughts are. That while it appears to have limited success so far I believe that either have not reached a high enough dose or if after increasing to 5mg did not stay there long enough.(starvation takes time?) I did read a brief mention on another board where some one used 10mg ed on their subject with some success but there was no follow up. My thoughts on a protocol are this 5mg ed for 30 days or 10mg ed for 15 days its possible that I could run this at 10mg ed for 30 days but it will take me longer to get all the research supplies. I plan on starting this research at the first of the year.(will take me that long to purchase the 30 vials) Lab equipment to be used will consist of a body composition scale. Measures weight, bmi, body fat, visceral fat, Water, muscle mass and bone mass. Also does this in a segmented form arms, legs and core separately. So if fat loss occurs I will be able to monitor where it is coming from. Will also be able to monitor water weight. Was also thinking monitoring temperature and bp changes several times a day would also be beneficial. I intend to use the rest of this year tracking my apes measurements to establish a base line. My questions are this. What are opinions on which dosing protocol and should I take a week at lower dose to establish tolerance. And are there any other measurements anyone thinks I should track? My ape is 47 will be 48 at time of research. BF 26.8% visceral fat rating is 15 on a scale of 10 -20 recommended is 10-12 267.2lbs
