@desertshores, I’m glad that you’ve avoided weeping and other side effects. EOD is probably a good idea. Since you got a positive response, you should double again by the next test, then maybe reach a steady state, not too high or low. Good luck to you and everyone here who is willing to self-experiment.
As I mentioned earlier I take a DIM (diindolylmethane) supplement every day. This is supposed to keep estradiol in check. If I hadn’t had the blood test I wouldn’t have known Enclomiphene/clomiphene was working. Since generally speaking I always feel good.
@JuanDaw, have you tried wasabi yourself? Does it scorch the tongue or turn into white phosphorous in the stomach? I bought some on impulse, but I regret the purchase. As you said, it ain’t cheap. And even if it works as advertised, would I notice?
Yeah, me too. I’m almost always on an even keel, except when I tried the SARMS, which made my numbers too high or too low. A long paper I just read said that even when clomiphene raises T from low to normal, there’s no evidence that it improves the symptoms of low T.
Interesting new supplement I came across: Geranylgeraniol
Geranylgeraniol (GGOH) is found in edible oils such as olive, linseed, and sunflower oils.
It is also available as a supplement.
Especially important to me is its anti-sarcopenia properties and anti-inflammation properties.
It also may be of special interest to statin takers as it ameliorates the negative effects of statins.
Of course

Citrate hits one of the core aging pathways.
I take a shot of EVOO every morning that I mix my polyphenol powders in. Here’s hoping.
What is everyone doing with regard to timing of amino acids that raise mTOR, in relation to Rapamycin dose? I’ve been wary of doing taurine, glycine/creatine in the days after a rapa dose, but don’t really know how long to wait. I like taking creatine the day before my rapa dose to aid my running, but don’t know if that’s a bad idea either.
Taurine reduces MTOR.
Do you know if L-Carnosine effects MTOR also?
Rapamycin much more potentially inhibits mTORc1 than any protein can activate it. That’s why I personally take rapamycin once monthly at a high dose and eat moderate-high protein every day.
@desertshores Are you going to try it? It looks very interesting to me (a statin user). But I have to figure out what to drop from my stack if I want to try it.
Yes, it is hard to avoid the never-ending bloating of our stacks. As I have mentioned before I have a cupboard full of supplements accumulated by following whichever way the wind is blowing. I always eliminate my least favorite supplement or the one I think is doing the least good when I add a new supplement.
Good rule. My reduction to 10 was recent so I also have a box of benchwarmers.
Don’t let your supplements get too old! I’d use them up and then just not re-order a new batch. That’s what I’m doing right now with Fisetin and Resveratrol. But I think I have about a 2 year supply of Resveratrol…
Resveratrol is an HDAC inhibitor, but also a cox-1 inhibitor so i stopped taking it a few years ago.
Did you watch the Rimon (Wellness Messiah) series on Resveratrol? He concluded that it was probably beneficial to take it but at a much reduced dose of around 100mg and perhaps only every other day. He does go into a lot of detail, as usual.
Yes, I saw it. He’s the one that convinced me to take Resveratrol Mon-Wed-Fri and take about 250 mg. I originally took it daily at 500 mg.
GG is really making a big difference. 2 weeks in and I’m feeling like my old self in power production. Keep your eye on it. Anyone else experimenting with GG?
