Primobolan hair loss

[OuchThatHurts]

Both. But the percentage of test that converts to dht under normal circumstances (if memory serves) is something like 5% or less

BUT, since dht itself is antagonistic to the actions of estrogen, if you stop the conversion of test to dht and arent taking anything to control estrogen or supplementing another dht based androgen in place of dht, you may get estrogenic symptoms even though the actual amount of estrogen may have only increased by negligible percentage

This is a good observation IMO. It also might also exacerbate, in theory, the sexual side effects of 5a-reductase inhibitors.

You have much to read grasshoppa……

simplified explanation -

just because a persons hair is sensitive to dht, doesn’t mean it will be sensitive to one or any dht derivatives

just because primo is a dht derivative, that in no way means it would replace the sex drive lost from dht

brings me back to my point with anadrol, is a dht derivative but is not known for increasing sex drive

another example of differing effects would be equipoise, a testosterone derivative, behaves totally different than test.
and dianabol, basically the oral version of equipoise, behaves nothing like equipoise

main takeaway- derivative drugs do not necessarily act like the parent compound

Derivatives aren't their parent compounds, I get it.

That's why I was saying "yeah primo might boost your sex drive but lowering dht and adding in one of its derivatives hoping to add back in the good aspects of dht while leaving out the bad is a bad strategy."

The only thing that you wrote above that's news to me is that dbol is oral EQ. Never heard that one. Because it's chemically similar? Never taken eq or dbol

i don’t think you do get it

stop getting hung up on primo.

It’s not a bad strategy if what you replace dht with does not affect your hair. It doesn’t even have to be a dht derivative, he wants to control his hair loss and mitigate potential sexual side effects. It could be whatever compound does that for him specifically. A good strategy is whatever gets the job done.

yes. Dianabol is the 17a-methylated derivative of boldenone
