Few points here. There will be a select few who will attack this but they never refute the science I post anyways and my claims are well backed scientifically and anecdotally.
So 1 test plus deca is almost always a bad combo as deca increases the conversion of testosterone to estrogen making more estrogen and then more prolactin. Prolactin is a big hitter for hair loss.
I use my words with very exact context here so please read when I say anecdotally or scientifically.
Anecdotally, which most my following is largely hair loss sufferers. I have guys who fit the bill to a T for hair loss losing hair off simple TRT doses of testosterone. Very hair loss prone. These guys lose zero hair on deca and even regrew when ran without harsh androgens. Doses upwards of 3000mg a week even.
Where people get confused is the whole androgenic to anabolic ratio of drugs done on rat prostates and the levi ana muscle. We are not rats and these test sites do not matter for androgenic sides across the whole body especially not the scalp. A androgen can bind strongly to one androgenic tissue and not the other well proven in studies. So something that binds strong to the prostate may or may not bind strong to tissue in the scalp, or at all.
In this instance deca anecdotally, keyword here again. Ive had guys run grams and literally regrow hair who were losing it naturally and or losing it on TRT doses of test even. My anecdotal evidence is my thousands of followers, clients etc over a decade now anyone can see them publically online via searching, or I've posted some examples here already.
Am I saying to go pure deca? No Im not. I am just pointing out the difference here science wise and anecdotal wise.
So yes deca plus test combo is horrible for hair loss due to many mechanisms. And no deca does not raise prolactin itself or solo. Studies on deca solo show lowered prolactin not raised. As do my ten years of blood work from thousands of users.
Your options if you care from myself.
Go read my recent hair loss article posted here. You wont find anyone else online who has many, many users who have successfully recovered their hair under one persons regime such as mine. Is there lots of hair loss recovery stories? a few for sure. But all random individuals and as we know 1 person can take this or that item or protocol and see great results and another person takes it and sees zero results. This is all over the hair loss forums with hundreds of thousands of users following the basic rules of finasteride, minxodil, ketoconazole etc with none of the users posting hair loss results basically and all on the forums for years still posting looking for a cure but 5 people out of hundreds of thousands of users saw results so it must be the holy grail. These are just the facts I'm pointing out.
Yet you'll see under my postings/articles my protocol has consistent results unlike no other time and time again. If you read my article you'll see I tackle what science points towards male pattern baldness main root cause. And why most protocols don't work for the majority of people. Or sorry they don't not work its that they see minor slowing of hair loss at best for most and some minor regrowth.
The benefits to my protocol, its 100 percent safe and natural essentially. I don't like finasteride as it blocks whole body DHT and we know balding men have higher locally produced DHT in the scalp and sensitivity, not whole body serum dht levels. So why attack the whole bodies dht level which is needed for important functions like bone and oral health and brain health. Minoxdil I simply don't like mainly because it breaks down collagen and why you will see many users report looking immensely older facially after using it.
My protocol is not strenous and most users extremely half ass it and see results still. Doing the basic oils a couple times a week before a shower even as an example. The main focus you will see in the article is eating better which I explain in-depth as most don't really understand what eating healthy means and fixing circulation via this as well as posture.
Here is the thread below:
So I was going to reply to the two hair loss threads I was linked with oral minoxidil and finasteride and instead of posting in two different threads correcting misinformation and seeing guys desperately trying to regrow their hair and instead of linking my old article which is outdated I...

Again my users who follow my protocol don't just stop hair loss but actually see regrowth and complete reversal.
Now the other thing to mention which I've posted about here before is. Esters play more of a role then most people understand. Esters are a factor in how androgenic a steroid is. And this is regardless of the release of the hormone as the studies matched blood levels of different esters with different injection patterns and the short esters were still more androgenic then the longer esters. Which is what I am about to explain. So the longer the ester the less androgenic the item was essentially. With release/blood levels matched via injection frequency the short esters were still twice as androgenic as the longer esters. Which gives merit to what bodybuilders have said for decades they feel they cut better on short esters and look tighter. Which also onto this fact, the longer esters were more anabolic and produced more estrogenic. Which sure you've seen endless users have always reported they felt they grew better on longer esters.
None of this above is my opinion btw again I choose my words very carefully. This is all data from studies. Not my opinion, not my research neither.
I also have posted my anecdotal results again of hair loss sufferers simply switching to an even longer ester of testosterone then what they were on and fully stopping hair loss and regrowth happening. With zero other changes. Again this is purely anecdotal but the science matches up and my anecdotal experience and evidence over years backs all this with proof.
So that is my suggestions above.
