Clearing receptors

[Dunbar]

My understanding has always been that when you run Supra physiological doses your body produces more receptors and down regulates.

This is why those that have 'abused' anabolics never feel as good as they did off of prior to. Because the body many more receptors 'craving' androgens. Without them they(you,me,Tim) aren't satisfied

I'm doing a very similar protocol as you are to clear receptors & turn on my HTPA! My only difference is I'm cleaning out for 5 months maybe 6 instead of 3! Also, used HMG instead of HCG w/ some clomid! No nolva! From what I've gathered it takes about 5-12 months to fully kick in your natural test again! Depending on the person. I'm using tribulus terrestris 750 mg a day, l-citrulline 1000 mg a day, taurine 3000 mg a day, DHEA 25 mg a day, rhodiola rosea 500 mg a day, Korean ginseng 650 mg a day, & milk thistle 1500 mg a day for testicular supplementation & liver health! Also, have cialis on hand in case it gets touch & go downstairs! On 6 week mark!!!!

It was brutal brotha! I was already diagnosed with low T so there was no chance of my natural test returning. At least not a to acceptable levels. Looking back the juice was not worth the squeeze.

Dolf have you tried taurine at 3000 mg a day? I-Taurine. 2 grams, 3x a day.
Studies have shown that Taurine is able to protect the testicles from steroid induced damage. Taurine also aids thyroid hormone production, and in animal studies was shown to act similar to HCG without the associated estrogen increase. Anecdotaly its been used by many steroid users that had gonad damage from cycling with lab work showing test levels around the 1500ng/dL range. 1960's levels that people don't get anymore!!!
As an amino acid that’s sensitive to heat, up to 66% of Taurine is destroyed through the process of cooking. As most of us get our protein through cooked meats, this can lead to a shortage. You can survive at this lower Taurine intake, but as this is a “thrive vs survive” scenario, taurine is something that needs to be supplemented for health in almost 100% of cases.
Also, In regards to hair loss, Taurine has been shown to help combat fibrosis of the scalp, thus increasing circulation and hair growth. I can send you the links upon request!

Taurine is one of the very few supplements I take. My feel on supplements is most are bullshit. In the good old days they had to prove that they did what they say they could do. These days they can claim whatever they want and the FDA has to prove it can or can't do what is claimed. I personally try to get all my micro's and macro's through whole foods. In the case of studies they can be tainted with bias depending on who's funding the study.
