I've just started with PM and RR last week. No major changes yet. Part of me is wondering if the brands make a big difference?
For RR, first I bought some pills from the Vitamin Shoppe in town. They are supposed to be 500mg per pill. Then I ordered some Carlyle RR pills online which are supposedly 2500mg per pill. It seems like the Carlyle pill should have a much bigger effect, but if anything, I felt like the two 500mg pills I was taking every day last week were having more effect than the one 2500mg pill I'm taking this week. But maybe it's just last week the pills were upsetting my body and now I'm used to them?
For PM, I got Solgar Phytogen PM at the Vitamin Shoppe, which is supposed to be only 80mg (!) of PM plus a crapload of vitamin B. Then I got some Carlyle pills in the mail which are supposed to be 1000mg per pill. I will give these a shot and see how they do. Looking online, the Ainterol brand that people on this forum seem to like are around 34¢/1000mg, whereas the Carlyle pills are only 8¢/1000mg. Is it worth it to get the Ainterol brand, or does it not matter? If I do get Ainterol, is there a big difference between the drops and the pills?
I'm around 40 and a little overweight. I have 'moobs' already, but I want to fill out more. I think genetically I'm in a good place for growth. My goal is to just take some OTC NBE pills for a few months and then decide if I want to do a medically supervised HRT transition or not. ISTM the big advantage of going through the medical system is better standardization. All the evidence from this forum is that PM + AA does work, but it's really hard to figure out your doses on your own, especially when each brand is different.
