I just looked it up and it seems like I3C (Indole-3-Carbinol) is the precursor of DIM, the latter is not exactly Bioavailable by itself so I'm going to have to take I3C instead. I will do it as soon as possible. I've also been thinking about adding Biotin to the cocktail, that can only help right? It's meant for hair growth.
I'm going to get bloodtests done to keep an eye on things. The laboratory where I'll go doesn't offer any DHT checks, I'm only going to get readings about Testosterone, FSH, LH, SHBG, Prolactin and TSH. Is it possible to calculate DHT out of that? Or is it just enough with those?
Glad to help Mike. Biotin is a good carb metabolizer choice. I was going to recommend ALCAR-Acetyl L-Carnitine, for a number of reasons. https://atpscience.com/what-are-the-benefits-of-acetyl-l-carnitine/
Are you taking any ATP supps?...ATP is also a vasodilator (widens arteries) and for production of energy.
Have you thought of applying rogaine to your chest?...foam is better. Rogaine is also a vasodilator too.
DHT requires a separate test (unfortunately). Honestly I could tell you quite a bit just from T and SHBG...like bio T, free T, and whether or not E is high or low, vice-versa with T. Those steroid hormones you list are a good panel. I would suggest testing liver enzymes, just to see how your liver function is handling the program.
I'd like to see all the supplements you're taking if that's ok. Send me a pm if that works better. .
