HPTA shutdown

hoodstark · Feb 26, 2009

I have a few cycles under my belt but no lnger wish to continue to shut down HPTA and try and rebound it; to young and I want to have kids. I have read through tons of articles and I can't seem to find a consise conclusion. Are there any anabolics that do NOT shu down HPTA at all? IF not which ones have the minimalist effect?

ive heard anavar is pretty mild.

Perhaps....you might be able to use some mild orals at very low doses and get away from being 100% shutdown. However, your gains and progress will end soon and your liver will need a break....then what are you going to do?

The answer to this lies within you. Have you had a pro lay out your diet and routine? If not, exhaust that avenue first. Phil Hernon can help you out.

You could, on the other hand, run an AI or SERM to boost your testosterone levels.

The simple answer is, of course, to simply not take anything.

All drugs administered from the outside (exogenous) that are derivatives of naturally-produced (endogenous) hormones will suppress HPT axis function. How much yuo suppress depends upon the drug, the dosage, the length of time yuo're on it, and to some degree yuor genetics in terms of being able to metabolise, bounce back, etc.

Nothing more can be added. The fact that you stated that all anabolics are derivitives of testosterone and supress HPTA function is all one needs to know to answer this questions. fact is any AAS will shut down HPTA function.

Dad & Nexus, you have hit the nail on the head. I agree, 100%

OP, what you're asking is similar to someone asking, "Is there a combustible fuel I can put in my car that won't cause a byproduct?". Or, "Is there any alcohol I can drink that won't affect my liver values because I don't want to deal with liver issues."
