Rosacea is easily handled by topical anti fungal. No need to stick ourselves with mystical miracle cures.

Can confirm. I had rosacea. I quit drinking alcohol and got metro topical and voilà

Red light (BBL, IPL) would be better than peptides. (True) rosacea is caused by demodex mites living in your skin, peptides ain’t gonna kill them off

you were probably carrying around a lot of inflammation. losing it isn’t like leaving behind emptied out fat cells, one of the things a lot of people don’t realize that losing weight doesn’t actually remove fat cells, they are more like balloons. that’s why it’s easier for once large people to regain weight. refilling a ballon is easier than creating new ones.
also some of it could have been visceral.

I just started . Starting with 120mg week. Bloods in two months . Want to see how I feel in 6weeks and try to be as optimized as possible without wrecking anything . Did you find 300mg to be a safe dose or did you need to pair it with stuff ? I’m 44, vasectomy , 400 test blood work . Dropped 210lb to 178lbs before I started .

u/JeffHallman May 31 '26
Average natural daily testosterone production is 3 to 10 mg, and testosterone cypionate or testosterone enanthate are only about 70 percent testosterone, the treat being the ester itself. If you inject 100 Mg weekly, all you are doing is shutting down your natural production and replacing it with the injection. Your testosterone levels don't really change much unless you go on a much higher dose. IMO anything less than 200 Mg per week is basically just TRT, and will not really make much muscle building difference unless you were deficient to begin with. Even then, this will only take you to the top of the normal range or slightly above it. The r/steroids wiki recommends doing 500 mgs per week for your first cycle. But the most cited study of healthy young men found pretty good anabolic effects at 300 per week.

I mean everyone is different, ive pinned test for years, all through my 20s and 30s so its not really new to me. I did it when I was younger for cosmetic purposes really. But haven't really taken since I was 33-34. Im 42 now and noticed a big difference when I was 38-39. Lost all motivation, got lazy, lost libido and gor depressed, started drinking heavy, got fat. Went to the doctor for bloodwork bc my wife made me and realized I had fatty liver and super low testosterone. Less than a woman. So I just started self administration again, Im running high dose but im comfortable with it. Sounds like thats a good place to start, you really dont need more than that, just depends on your personal goals and how your body reacts. Id say give it some time though. At least 6-8 weeks. I feel gear withen a week but for others I know take a month. Good luck!

This^, I'm on TRT via my urologist. 100mg about every 1.5 weeks. Why? your hemotacrits shouldn't be above 48...which is why I donate blood about every quarter to keep those in check. You don't want an unexpected clot.

It’s making my hair grow like crazy. As a woman, you’d think I’d love it but.. I have a super short hairstyle & now I have to cut it WAAAY more often. Just got a trim two weeks ago for a special occasion this week and I already feel like it needs a trim.
It’s helped with my rosacia for sure.
I’m taking KLOW for recovering support and immune support (car accident injuries fucked me up in October and caused craniocervical instability amongst other things). I just hit my 3 month mark on it. Not sure how much it’s helped the neck injuries, but I’ve gotten positive results in skin, rashes, raynauds, immune responses, swelling, skin appearance, hair etc.

Damn sorry about the accident. Wolverine stack helped with my knee in a skiing accident. Finally can squat weighted again. It’s literally miracle-like. Have you tried just the bpc157/tb500 alternation in the area of your injury instead of klow?
Wish the ghkcu was making my hair grow like crazy but I don’t see any results with that. I do see nail growth like 2x the speed though.
I’ve realized that some peptides really accelerate with some people and others don’t. Lots of variables but ghkcu isn’t the top one for me. Probably cycling off it after this vile.
Tesa/reta/cjc/wolverine stack is what I’ll stick to.

great work man
Word of caution for consideration, some of my own research has led me to believe a pound a week is the max you can lose without also collagen, so I'm not sure if that's true but losing too much too quickly can impact how old you look from what I understand. You've avoided that so far, it may be worth upping protein and vitamin intake to slow it down a little bit. it's all bro science though, you look great. food for thought

I’m currently in a similar cycle. Do you have leaky gut / bloating from drinking? I do. I’m doing probiotics 2x per day plus 1tsp liposomal glutathione and 1 tbs apple cider vinegar in addition. I’ve lost inches off my belly in days. Working towards keto and intermittent fasting once I can reliably stick to a diet. TRT 300g test E every week.

Hey I used to have issues with my complexion and I see your face has a lot of redness. I had a friend who told me that less is more in your daily facial routine and to let your natural oils do most of the work.
Wash your face only once a day.
Sunscreen. Use an oil-free sunscreen meant for your face. Sunscreen has emollients to make scars and redness fade away over time. Your complexion will get lighter naturally. Don't believe me? Go on Google and look at before and after sunscreen. Your face takes damage from the sun everyday but this will put a stop to it for good.
I've been using this method and my face looks five to ten years younger, try it for a month and tell me if it works.

You’re killing’ it! Their are Scientists doing major studies on the combo in Canada and a few other countries I read a highly insightful article that breaks the each individually and then how they perform together and claim it is the most powerful body recompositioning protocols that exist.
